Love Live! School Idol Festival Thread

[maki~chan]

My answer: Go for it, you could hit the jackpot , besides the next UR Maki isn't till February so you got plenty of time to save up gems . If you don't get lucky with this draw, well at least you get a nice SR to look at .

 

Well ultimately, it's up to you...good luck if you do decide to draw.

I will do it thanks! I hope I will get some good cards

[Ezeefreak]

I must have something right in the last time ... The luck is with me... I was bored and thought: Damn, one single draw for 5 gems can't be wrong...

 

And thats what I got

 

So now I could finally idolize her

 

I'm really sorry for all the people here who are not that lucky... SORRY

So what do you guys think about the chances this game will show up on Windows Phones? With a 3% worldwide market share compared to Android's 80% and IOS's 12%, Windows Phones will probably never get this game due to a low audience for the platform. It would be nice though. The problem for Windows Phones is that people don't buy them because of the lack of apps. Developers don't make apps for Windows Phones because people aren't buying them, and they think it may not be worth it to develop considering the potential costs. This cycle is the reason why Windows Phones are not as successful as they can be.

 

This makes me a little sad since I kinda wanted a Windows Phone. My iPhone 4 is in desperate need of an upgrade, but since Windows Phone doesn't have this game, I'm aiming for a Nexus 5 this holiday. I know the phone is a year old, but I think it will do me well enough for the price considering the specs. Or I can just get a Windows Phone and then get myself a 5th gen iPod touch. Though I don't want to spend the extra cash for that.

 

I don't know why I wanted to post this.

iOS is the most popular mobile platform (outside of consoles) in Japan. Android comes in second. 

In fact Japan is not really a PC (Microsoft) country either so the likelyhood of seeing a Windows Phone version is very very slim since it would likely not pay off in the end as no one in Japan really cares about it.

 

But share percentage aside, it would be kind of tough to make a Windows Phone version at this stage because they'd likely have to re-run events for the people who never had a chance to play like they did with Android and I don't think KLab wants to deal with that, and if they didn't re-run the events people on Windows Phone would be displeased they'd never had the chance to get the previous event SRs.

 

So yeah, likelyhood is close to 0

Since Windows Phone are practically irrelevant in Japan, KLab could just port the current English Love Live game onto Windows Phones to run alongside Android and IOS. Can you explain the rerun events for Android that you mentioned?

The game was released in Japan on iOS only on April 2013 and it had some events happen then.

It was then released on Android on June 2013 and to make things fair for Android users (since they had missed the first couple events on the iOS version) KLab decided to rerun the events on both platforms so Android users could have a chance to get the event SRs they missed.

 

But if a Windows Version was made now they would have to rerun a ton of events.

And KLab is responsible for both the eng and jap servers, they're literally copy pasting everything the japanese version did into the eng version, that's why the current interface of the eng version is not the same as the jap one for example, this proves they won't treat the international market any different just because Windows Phone is more popular there, they're just doing what the jap version did, so if they were to make a Windows Phone version they'd make it for the jap version too.

[Exteminator]

That make sense now, thanks.

[Praeliator]

I finally FCed No Brand Girls

[Ceris]

Congrats~

I'm 3 EX and 1 Hard song from ranking up, so I l'm setting the EN SIF off to the side until this Honoka event starts so I get that free refill at the start. Still hoping to do both this Honoka and the next Hanayo event top 200 for both without having to buy gems.

So when i come home after my friend's birthday party, not in the most presentable mental state (though i can still walk somewhat straight), and i'm just like

Edit: 6500 replies~

[XDarkmercX]

Why can't I do that when I can't hardly walk strait?

I tried love novels on ex, but I failed it twice. I did get farther on the second try though.

Congratulations on your fc. I will make it there someday.

[Nosebleed]

You'll get there with practice, we all do.

I wouldn't say this is the hardest EX set in comparison to the previous one.

Love Novels is annoyingly mapped in some places but i really like the moments where it has a lot of double taps, feels good to play those.

I had FC'd no brand EX during the event so that was kind of a cheat when i fc'd it first time now i guess, it's not particularly difficult to fc in my opinion.

I think out of all these new 4 EX songs the hardest is possibly sweet holiday, though i don't think it's as hard as cutie panther EX... that one was a killer.

I am so done with this game it has been damn 5 months already and look another guaranteed SR with stamina skill that I don't care

Not going top places for anyone cause 2 months later they won't be enough so what's the point

This is why you should always resist, i say it every time, you're in the unlucky inferior race just like me.

My condolences, i know the pain you're going through right now, hang in there.

[Eclipsed]

@maki~chan I feel the same way. While I haven't played for as long as you and some of the others, my most recent splurge of 4 10+1s: 3 of which gave me duplicate SRs of stuff I already have idolized (out of the 35 SRs I have, only 10 are idolized. so c'mon, wtf is my luck for those 3 to be duplicates rather than another SR for the 25 I have that aren't idolized -.---, so it's like wtf, first I don't even get the new SRs despite higher chance (Ceris knows this all too well), and to make matters worse, the SRs I do get ARE FRIGGEN DUPLICATES!@$!@$#@!$qew$@#@), and the last 10+1 giving me that healer Nozomi we all know and love REALLLLYY made me go "F*** THIS GAME".

My fault, i know, for dabbling in the dark arts of RnG. my luck was bound to turn sour eventually. but man. 

/rant

I love how much better i got from the score matches   





Again with the mother effin' GOOD.

[Praeliator]

My condolences to maki-chan and Eclipsed.

Yeah I'm not gonna be spending more on draws till the end of next month for UR Umi (I think) but rather on events, even though new cards are released it really sucks if you end up pulling duplicates despite a higher chance of pulling the new ones, and because I have a lot of idolised SRs it's gonna be risky for me from here on out and pray to God I don't pull anymore duplicate SRs.

[maki~chan]

No no you guys can't understand me you have like 4 URs Nosebleed (I know you didn't want them but they are making your teams much better) and Eclipsed I don't even know how many you got... I have only 2 idolized SRs it could be 3 if I didn't forget the ending time of honoka event... So I just don't know anymore 5 months I did so many draws still it is like this even if I FC, it won't be enough it makes me so sad 

[Ceris]

@Maki~chan: There's not much I can say since I can't completely sympathize, or give good words of comfort, since I got 1 UR (because of like $80 that got me my UR), but I would think Pheonixfyre would be the closest, getting their UR most recent. My draws are okay (mostly 2 SR) but I do know the dispair of getting all SRs you don't want while you have to sit by and watch everyone else get UR after UR. It's horrible...

[Aez Racer]

Im gonna sacrifice two events just to earn 50 love gems.....(i wish i can get an Ulta Rare....)((((( no 2 new SRs to get....

[iamnoob]

I only got 1 D:

 

By the way, are there any 12 star songs? Looking at the difficulty stars they come in sets of 3 changing color after each 3 stars. Makes me think there's a 12 star difficulty song. I wanna try it if there is such a thing.

Have you been playing for 5 months though? I have 7 idolized SRs, but 5 are from events since I had given up on draws a while ago, and ended up drawing the same old SRs (instead of newer with higher appearance rate, go figure). And no, there arent 12*s

[Eclipsed]

From my experience, $100-150 of straight up 10+1s will get me an UR, though I was lucky for some of them. I have a grand total of 6 URs (1 idolized, 4 unidolized; counting idolized as 2 URs) for $600 total spent on 10+1s. (should've been $450-500, but nooo, my last batch of 10+1s really screwed up my ratio since I went UR-less from that. Otherwise my score would be 7 URs for $600 xD)

 

~~~

Though I think it's more like $200-250 to get a single UR in the long run (Looking at you, Praeliator . You spent at least $1000(?) and have like uhhh... 5 URs? (1 idolized, 3 unidolized)

Psst, Praeliator, wanna post a screenie of your album??   

 

~~~

Ezee also spent around the $900-1000 range, and has 4 URs (1 idolized, 2 unidolized)

 

 

So although it looks like we are getting super lucky, it really is just us spending a shitload on draws ;-;

I went and dabbled in the art of Bluestacks and made a starter account. I used to scoff at people playing with keyboard cuz I thought they looked sooo cheesy and noob playing on it. But man it's harder than it looks xD

And zzz I used the scouting ticket and look what I got:



I bet if I went and did a single draw on my actual account I would've just gotten a Rare

D: No more harder songs to play than those 11*s i guess

 

And I haven't spend a single cent so I've only been drawing from gems I earn. Still though..... 5 out of 6 of my 10+1s are all only getting the confirmed SR. That's still stupidly bad luck. 

 

@ Eclisped

 

What do you mean by "I went and dabbled in the art of Bluestacks and made a starter account. I used to scoff at people playing with keyboard cuz I thought they looked sooo cheesy and noob playing on it. But man it's harder than it looks xD". Are you trying to say keyboard is easier or harder to play with?

I used to scoff at people playing with a keyboard cuz I thought they looked soo cheesy and noob playing on it -> I thought keyboard would be easier

But man it's harder than it looks -> But in reality, after trying it myself, I found it to be harder

~~~

Though obviously it's just cuz I'm not used to using a keyboard. I still think that if I was equal skill at keyboard as I was playing on my phone that the keyboard would be dramatically easier. I mean comon you have a finger on every note!!
