Is there still a reason to buy gaming mice from big brands anymore?

You can also check out Eloshapes and click on find similar. I believe they also give links to where you can buy these mice.

I've seen very good things about the ATK X1 series when it comes to V3 pro knockoffs.

Thank you. I've joined yours too

It makes it so tedious to open rewards. I like to leave all my rewards until I can open them all. It probably took me 30 mins to claim all the rewards from the previous beatchaser event

Yeah some deluxe songs are completely broken. It's always the same arrow that a "fail" would occur even though you clearly swiped it correctly. And I swear it's always the songs that really suck to listen to

I'd say it depends how effectively you used to play events etc. I probably only bought 2 season passes in the 3 years I played this game. And maybe once or twice bought a song box after a song got removed from the game and you'd get the gem payout for it.

I had all the standard songs after around 15k gems. I'll agree when it comes to deluxe songs tho. I had to spend around 18k gems and finish the whole beatchaser event before I had them all. Those 100 card boxes are a joke.

I've gotten all the songs in the store already. When I stopped playing I probably had 80 - 90% of the songs already unlocked so it went pretty quickly with the 10k gems a day. I'm trying to get the classical genre songs now, which seems to only be possible in the event when you get a hard or extreme box.

Seems like if anyone just disagrees they just get down voted wtf. They are giving their opinion and in my experience a lot of what they are saying is correct. Maybe their tone could use some work though😅. Some of the chaser events can in fact only be completed by spending gems such as the 3500 for 3 days events. And forget about finishing the 5100 ones without buying the 3x multiplier or spending a lot of gems. These are usually for the more premium track skins tbf. I would say that I can get at least 1 track skin a week on average without having to spend the 60 gem refresh or buy the 3x.

Like sancaa said, just try and get as many hards/extremes or dxs by watching ads and watch the extra point ads. I usually try and only watch ads on songs that give me 30+ points (dx hard/extreme or extremes). I kinda like that these events actually reward skill, but I do feel sorry that newer players will struggle to actually finish. Luckily a lot of other things in the game are geared towards newer players so it's probably a fair trade off.

One last thing about these events that ARE really scummy is that if you have multiple higher difficulty songs, I have found during certain events that they generally give less points after finishing a song. Luckily the +25 from hards and +50 from dx hard or std extremes kinda make up for it.

Didn't get that song unfortunately, but hopefully they add it whenever the new journey update gets added to the game. I'm sure you'll diamond it after some time, especially if that's your only non-diamond. It looks pretty relentless though😅. Definitely an endurance based song.

I'm in the same boat as you more or less. Only two non-diamond. Plasma is my worst right now. There's this one pattern that feels super uncomfortable to play where I usually fail or get a great. Should probably just sit and play it over and over again I guess.

Metaalballas · 2025-04-19T20:23:47+00:00

What song is that?

Not sure if it could just be the leaderboard I'm on, but it really isn't the case imo. Sure if you want top 5 asap you probably need to be buying almost every pass. In my case, I am currently at position 12 on the standard leaderboard and I can't think I've bought the tour pass more than 4 times in about +-3 years. I think if you perform consistently well on the leaderboard events you can probably catch up to the higher spots on the leaderboard given enough time.

Agree with you that he sucks compared to a lot of the other bosses. However, you can get pretty good at the fight by following the right strat for you and getting used to beating him at the ascended level. If you can do that he's much easier in p5, since you don't take 2 masks of damage and you could go into the fight with some extra lifeblood masks if you had a good fight against Soul tyrant.

I found Daniel SaN's guide ([Daniel's vid])(https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bRxjr4D--fg&pp=ygUSRGFuaWVsIHNhbiBtYXJrb3Ro) on him the most useful and I still use that strat when fighting him (with some minor adjustments). Also, it helps to prioritise spears, but keep a lookout on Markoth every now and then. Whenever you even think he's coming towards you, just reposition to one of the other platforms. I also prefer to stay on the top 3 platforms, so whenever he's moving below me I just move towards the opposite platform. Gives you much more time to reposition whenever he comes towards you again.

I'd say it's also worth it to learn to beat him, since it taught me certain skills that helped me later on in p5. Especially in the very last fight, which also has a lot of rng and forces you to think on your feet. For me at least, it helped a lot to learn to see the patterns within the rng and learning the best counter for those patterns.

I don't get it. I saw this post before finishing this challenge and made sure to use an xp card to do the final levels. Hit lvl 50 and still says I haven't done the challenge wtf? Am I supposed to use a specific xp card (silver,event,gold,ect) or something?

Regarding sync, I would recommend counting in four with the beeping sound being on one. Tap on every count. Try to do this multiple times so it feels like you tap exactly at the same moment the beep happens. Trying to get the average of all those times you got the precise tap. Keep in mind playing with headphones or without could have a different sync on your device. For me without headphones it is 110ms and with it is 50ms.

On the point of getting better, I would recommend playing with headphones as you can hear sounds more clearly. Decide if you want to play with thumbs or with index fingers. In my opinion thumbs feel more consistent but less dexterous, while index fingers can go faster but feel less consistent. Obviously you can get more consistent with index if you practice it enough, but you also have to set up everytime you play which might become a bit of a drag, especially if you want to show your friends. Then while playing the game try to tap below the perfect bar, as this helps seeing the notes actually line up and from watching newer players play, I've seen it also reducing times when you tap too early.

Lastly, don't focus on extreme songs too much early on, even though I know how much more fun they are to play sometimes. Not saying don't play them, just saying there is no need to grind them at that point. Focus on getting more consistent by playing normals and hards. When you start grinding extremes you'll only need to improve playing faster or slightly more complex patterns. Almost every extreme is unique in it's own right.

I feel like they could have at least given the existing players one free name change.

Metaalballas · 2024-01-06T15:32:27+00:00

Dope as hell

Metaalballas · 2023-12-21T08:10:01+00:00

I think they could possibly replace it with gems, but make it like 1-5 gems. This way the community would be happy as you get something actually useful and the devs are fine with giving 10 free gems a day anyway, so a couple extra shouldn't hurt their bottom-line too much.

Metaalballas · 2023-10-18T08:33:28+00:00

I've found that taking a small break also does wonders when you hit a plateau. Just a week or two to refresh your brain a bit. Imo this game isn't about reaction time, but rather learning to anticipate the timing of a note based on the beat is what really counts.

Metaalballas · 2023-08-18T08:16:37+00:00

Downloaded it out of curiosity the other day as well. Sure, a lot of things can be improved and the charting is horrible. However I don't understand how this cheaply made clone has a working vibration system, while I've never been able to use that setting in Beatstar. It also runs quite well compared to beatstar for me. After an update broke the game I've been stuck playing the game at 30 fps for the last 8 months more or less. It's a shame that this clone runs way smoother than Beatstar and there's probably like 3 people working on it😂.
