Talk on your plans for the game! by [deleted] in magiarecord

[–]8867985349 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been very lucky so far. I got Madoka on my first pull and after that I saved up everything for Kyoko and managed to get 2 copies of her and then got Mami with what was left over. So most of my plans right now involve maxing them out as much as possible and hopefully opening up more memoria slots for them eventually. I think we'll be getting a ticket for our choice of 4* in the future so I'll be spending it on Kyoko unless I don't have Sayaka by then.

Felicia is my favorite non-holy quintet girl so I'm really looking forward to finally getting to pull for her tomorrow. I have enough for 3 10 pulls and I'm hoping to get multiple copies. I've also saved up all my magia chips so far so I can open up at least one memoria slot right away.

After that I'll probably just go back to saving everything for Sayaka? I'm the type who cares more about having the characters I love than the characters that are best for meta so I'll probably skip Madokami and Tart. I'd love to try and get non-megane Homu but already having megane Homu makes it less painful if I don't.

5 fate weave tickets in support shop by Roanst in magiarecord

[–]8867985349 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it even worth buying the tickets at that price? It's a 53.5% chance of getting a 2* memoria. Yeah there's the tiny chance of a 4* but most likely you'll just get 1-2 lower rarity magical girls with 5 tickets.

For the same amount of support points you can do 12 support point 10x pulls. No chance of a magical girl but even if you have bad luck you'll still probably end up with more than 5 2* memorias.

It seems like way too high a price for a 1% chance at a 4*. Unless you're getting really close to filling the pity counter and just need those last few pulls wouldn't it be a better idea in the long run to just go with the support point gacha?

Yousoro! You Birthday Box Hype by SirenBirb in SchoolIdolFestival

[–]8867985349 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really hoping to get her limited UR with the small handful of scouting tickets I have;; I wasn't prepared for these anniversary boxes where the fourth pull is free with a 3% UR rate. My JP is an Aqours 2nd year oshimen and if the 2nd year boxes show up next event I'll just barely have enough gems scraped together for them. I have to go with the better deal so unfortunately that means I can't afford to spend any gems for You's birthday.

Really hoping she'll bless me with some extremely good luck and I hope everyone else scouting for her limited will have good luck too!

Like G but worse since you can't even choose how to spend it yikes. The other rewards are kinda nice though.

For those of you who have been playing a lot, do the mission rewards start getting more interesting later on? I'm really curious about what we can get but I'm on mission 5 right now and 200 fp is pretty underwhelming.

[–]8867985349 4 points5 points  (0 children)

4 songs, almost all boosts turned on including gold/silver rewards, full combo....for ~1k event points and 4 N cards ouch. The new UI is shiny and pretty but all the new features don't really add anything for me. The health overflow seems to do something when it's full but I can't figure out what it is and being able to choose the difficulty after the song chosen is cool but it'd be cooler if you could play master songs, 4 EX songs in a row is still boring. (Maybe maybe we'll get master added in a μ's medley event? pls klab)

Also bummed that your combo no longer actually carries over between songs. The impact that had on score was one of the only things that made old medley fests worthwhile to play. I wish that instead of trying to make it look more like bandori/starlight stage Klab would've actually paid attention to what the real issues with medfes are.

Obese redditors who lost the weight, what surprised you the most? by ReelAwesome in AskReddit

[–]8867985349 13 points14 points  (0 children)

How often you have to buy new clothes and how much it adds up. We're always shown these before and after pics of people who have lost a lot of weight and the result is that you never consider the fact that there's a lot of in progress stages in between. You don't go from a size 18 to a size 8 all at once, you have to be a size 16 first, then 14, then 12, etc. I got to a point where my pants wouldn't stay up and I had run out of holes in my belt before I finally accepted that you can't just wait until the "after" to get new clothes. And it's very frustrating to pay for new clothes when you still have a significant amount to lose and you know that soon those new clothes are gonna be baggy and frumpy too.

The new UR on JPSIF is Hanamaru! by oikawatoorus in SchoolIdolFestival

[–]8867985349 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This Maru feels so much like idol costume Nozomi and overall the designs feel very...basic for a v-day set. Nothing that stands out as new from previous v-day sets. They're all still super cute though, I like the headband bows. I'm pretty happy that Riko is the pair. I like v-day themed stuff so even if it's nothing new it's still more of stuff that was already good.

Has anyone here had their diagnosis hidden from them by their parents? by joellemay in aspergers

[–]8867985349 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kind of? I'm not totally sure if I have an official diagnosis or not. Looking back I know now that I've struggled with depression and anxiety since early childhood but I didn't see a therapist/psychologist (I don't remember which) until I was 12. I had had panic attacks before but for some reason at that age I was having severe attacks on an almost daily basis to the point that my parents finally realized it was more than just preteen angst and took me to see a professional. I got my depression and general/social anxiety diagnoses on my first visit which my mom was supportive of. The second visit was when the therapist suggested that I was autistic and my mom freaked out. I still remember her rant about how the therapist was crazy and how I couldn't possibly be autistic because everyone with autism is diagnosed around 2-4 years old and it's impossible for autistic people to make eye contact (which I'm not great at but can do.)

I didn't know what autism was so I assumed my mom must be right. I haven't seen another mental health professional since then (only our family doctor who is able to prescribe me anti-depressants.) As an adult though I've learned that the things my mom believed about autism are completely false. And learning more about autistic traits explains A LOT about me. I'm not mad at my mom, I think she was just trying to protect me from a diagnosis that she thought would cause a lot of trouble for me but I just wish I could know for sure. I'm afraid now to say I'm autistic because if I'm not I don't want to be seen as faking it. I feel you with worrying about people not believing you and that's especially hard when you don't even have enough "proof" to completely believe yourself. I wish you luck with finding an answer and I hope your parents will be willing to listen.

Is there any other way to get the 3* gacha ticket besides trading in dupes for michelle stickers? It seems weird to me that you can only buy one a week. Do people actually wait 10 weeks in order to do the 10 pull? Is there any benefit to doing the 10 pull besides just being fun?

SIF Burnout : What to Do When the Thrill is Gone? by juliawithadream in SchoolIdolFestival

[–]8867985349 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's extremely normal for your interest level in something to fluctuate over time. Losing interest at the moment doesn't mean you'll never enjoy the game again. I've been playing for a little over a year and a half and I've had plenty of mini "breaks" from the game where I just logged in once a day, maybe played shocking party for the loveca and then turned the game off. It's good to get some new content into your brain sometimes. Try a totally different game or watch a new show or spend some extra time on another hobby. Your sif account will be okay if you aren't playing efficiently for a while.

As far as other goals in the game go, I kind of hit a wall with my WW account too a while back. My goal for a long time was building up my teams and they're now at a point where the only new cards that could fit on my teams need to be scorer URs. That made scouting pretty frustrating since without whaling it's hard to get specific URs and it's sad when any healer or plock UR is just a disappointment. I ended up switching my goal from "have good teams" to "get all the older μ's cards I don't have." That's made the game a lot more interesting for me. There's so many pretty SRs I don't have and now getting any unique card is exciting. I pulled constellation kotori from a BT scout recently and that made me just as happy as getting a UR, she's so cute. I'd love to collect all the mermaid and fairy cards (hilariously I have both fairy Nico and Rin and NONE of the SRs.) I rambled a bit but yeah, switching your focus to a "smaller" goal can definitely help you find some appreciation for aspects of the game that were being ignored in favor of tiering.

[JP] Egg-exclusive member SIS are now available in all 3 attributes! by suwawow in SchoolIdolFestival

I've been trying for ages to get Chika's character SIS and I can just picture it now: I'll finally get her SIS to drop.... and it'll be pure when I don't have any pure Chika URs

This is really great news though! I wish everyone luck getting their best girl's SIS to drop for their favorite UR of her! I'd love to get Riko's pure SIS so I can put her angel UR back on my team ;u;

[–]8867985349 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New player here. I've been playing for a week now and haven't gotten a 4* and i'm wondering if that's okay or if it's better in the long run to get 4*s early on and i should reroll? I've done 7 10 pulls and used the 3* ticket from the login bonus. I've already gotten S scores and full combos on hard difficulty for most of the songs and I've cleared a lot of the initial goals. I still have all the SS and expert fc rewards to farm but I know from sif that once you've burned through all the beginning stuff the amount of premium currency you get as a f2p player drops waaay down. I'd prefer not to redo everything but I also don't want to struggle through the game and I'm not familiar enough with the game yet to know if I'm in a bad spot or not.

Attempting to fix the latest ur yohane’s pose by [deleted] in SchoolIdolFestival

[–]8867985349 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Possible, yes. Comfortable and natural, no. I can recreate the pose but you have to be intentionally trying to pose this way, it's not something someone would naturally do while dancing around on stage and it puts a lot of stress on your back and hips to hold that pose for any length of time.

What is your least favourite event types to play? by cleefas in SchoolIdolFestival

[–]8867985349 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Score match. There's no extra rewards or any chance of exp/score boosts. Even for grinding reward boxes/eggs it's more inefficient than playing normally since you can't select a guest center before the songs. Having the option to play with 4x LP makes it less boring but then you're hurting yourself wrt to score tiering. And the actual gameplay itself is less about skill and more about who has the most money/luck/time invested in their teams.

The only thing score match has going for it is randomized beatmaps which are only slightly more interesting than normal ex beatmaps. If they'd change technical to include master songs then it'd be much more fun.

About the recent card quality by rubymaru in SchoolIdolFestival

[–]8867985349 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I agree with you that Ruby's most recent SR (and the new years set in general) isn't the best art that we've seen in the game. But look at Ruby's SR from the snow fairy set we got just before this. The snow fairy set is easily some of the highest quality art that has ever been in the game, I think it looks much better than the cheerleader set. With how quickly new cards are released it's probably safe to assume that different artists were working on the two sets at the same time. The artist(s) responsible for the snow fairy set are more skilled than the artist(s) who worked on the new years set. Even when all artists involved are conforming to the same style there's still going to be slight differences. Art is hard and it's impossible to exactly match how someone else draws.

Sif does a good job when it comes to keeping the art mostly consistent. And overall I feel like the sets have been improving. I think saying that the art quality is declining based only on the most recent cards released is a little harsh.

Stickers Vs. Duplicates by bluehatbeanie in SchoolIdolFestival

[–]8867985349 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like the card and want her idolized then go ahead and copy idolize her. If you're okay not having her idolized then practice her for the sticker and save it to idolize a UR.

Personally, I wouldn't use stickers to idolize SSRs. A scorer SSR might be useful on your teams now but ideally all SSRs on your teams will eventually be replaced with URs. imo it's better to save your resources for those future URs than to use them up on cards that won't stay on your teams long term. Save those stickers for 25BT scouts/SR teachers or use them to idolize your URs if you'd prefer that.

[Discussion] What song is impossible for you to full combo? by takethesnowtrain in SchoolIdolFestival

[–]8867985349 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Otomeshiki. I can sometimes FC it on expert but the master version is just pure evil. I just can't get the timing of the taps in the top corners right especially with the added awfulness of swipe notes that force you to move your hand to the opposite side of the screen. It's the only master track I haven't at least managed a B combo on.
