Greens be staying fresh.

Which buttons are the ones that adjust difficulty?

And since I can't read Japanese.... I'll probably mess up the challenges anyway

...

Are there commu's for this event? Only reason I'd bother playing is to hear Karen...

Dem hips
Luscious lips

Yes.

I'm assuming you're not playing right now, because if you click on the event, you're immediately greeted by a commu.

STORY's...okay.

...

>play first song
>get 107 points
15k is too fucking far away at this rate. Scamcoooooo.

I just don't get the reasoning behind this event. Make all these new features, add an event song, add new commus, add new SS exclusive cards, and then not make it ranking?

Yes. First one should play when you enter the event screen for the first time.

Please step on me, Tokiko-sama.

She looks uncomfortable

That turns me on

Story sounds like a KyoAny anime opening

I recall there being a real life recreation of this around Makuhari. But I don't remember who posted it.

Whats the middle button? I keep pressing it. Am i using any resources?

Change recommended unit/song combo. No, it doesn't cost anything.

SO
>set difficulty to 20
>gets Onegai Cinderella all the time
>play 100x times
>pray for Rin drop
Is that correct?

Random song and unit.

>garbage and early OP

You get rin from gaining concert attendees, which is just another type of point in this even cause youre on tour.

I don't think she's a random drop. You need to get to 15k.

Good one.

No drop bullshit and no ranking bullshit? That's way too easy.

Is there a time and/or use limit for the stage equipment?

Huh, I could just select the event song three times and try to score rank that way.

when I'm supposed to play the event song?

Tokiko's rumor
>Apparently, the college she studies in is for high class ladies and she's majoring in psychology.

Being stepped on by Tokiko-sama sounds better than being stepped on by Mirei.

Rin is my wife.

So, this is a weird mission-based event with two types of event "points"

Also you'll get 3 Mios before you get 2 Rins. (Second Rin at 40k event points)

Is this actually telling me I need to intentionally play like shit?

FUCK YOU NAMCO
FUCK YOU
YOU'VE KEKED ME OUT OF RIN SINCE THE FUCKING BEGINNING
NOW YOU MAKE HER EVENT IN SUCH A CONVOLUTED FUCKING WAY THAT I CANT EVEN MAKE HER FUCKING STAR RANK UP TO 10 EVEN IF I GO FULL FUCKING RETARD AND PLAY LIKE A FUCKING AUTIST

No, you need to get over 20 bads/misses. I believe in you, user.

No, Mio is event points and Rin is ateendees, they are different things

BELIEVE IN CHIE

New here, was rerolling then noticed the gacha changed, did the cinfes thing end?

You can also get both them from regular event points.
10k: Mio
15k: Rin

Yes. It only lasted two days.

Both types will eventually get you both idols.

There's an event song?

>majoring in psychology
she's out for mindbreak

Thanks, guess I can start the game for real now.

So basically 20 bad/miss means auto fail?

so why some songs has a golden disc on them?

...

I present you, the nono ghost

isn't do less than 20 Bad and/or Miss for all Live

Do you get more points by playing on Master as usual or should I actually be playing the stupid recommend difficulty?

...

You can change the recommended difficulty margin by going to live settings on the main event screen and setting min stars and max stars for songs.

>get certain amount of event points and fans to get Rin & Mio
>unlock new areas from completing missions and getting fans
>depending on your mission, you have to play 1 or more songs with certain requirement(s)
>set your desired song difficulty, then roll random songs
>you can also pick them yourself, but you won't get the bonus
>no ranking race, no random drop chase
This is probably the most lenient event ever.
You won't clear the mission, but you'll still complete the live.

First Area (Kanto):
1st, Tokyo (東京): Clear with 40% of your life remaining
2nd, Gunma (群馬): Before you start, it is beneficial to you to set a difficulty range for your songs. Choose the Event Setting (イベント設定) button under the purple Area Select (エリア選択), and set your difficulty (MIN on the left, MAX on the right). You can also change your Tour Name for fun with the third button.
Once you click on the purple button (エリア選択), you will be greeted by a Japan map. On the left side is a list of Tours that you can do. Each Tour has a different mission and a different number of songs.
You can choose to rehearse or view the MV of STORY with the left button (リハーサル MV) button.

Clear with 50% of your life remaining
3rd, Ibaraki (茨城): Clear with 50% of your life remaining/Obtain at least 500 Perfect and Great grades
Second Area (Kansai):
1st, Wakayama (和歌山): Get less than 20 Bad and Miss grades
2nd, Hyogo (兵庫): Get less than 30 Bad and Miss grades
3rd, Mie (三重): Get less than 30 Bad and Miss grades/Get a score of at least 300k

Missions Reward
Clear 5 Tours 1 Stamina Drink 30
Clear 10 Tours 5 Magic Dresses
Clear 15 Tours 1 Stamina Drink 30
Clear 20 Tours 10 Magic Dresses
Clear 25 Tours 1 Cool Tiara
Unlock All Area 50 Star Jewels
Clear MASTER + 50 Star Jewels
Clear 3 Tours (Reset daily) 25 Star Jewels + 1 Candy

I know how to change it, that's not what I'm asking.

In most events you get more event points by playing Master. I want to know if that still holds true here, or if the points are tied to something besides difficulty since by default you're dealt one randomly unlike any other event where you have to choose it to begin with.

I want an Anzu bathing card because I'm sure if there's one thing she needs, it's a good scrubbing.

Bonus points of Kirari is involved.

You know that button you press to change songs for the event? Does that make you lose some kind of bonus?

>>you can also pick them yourself, but you won't get the bonus
Some of the songs have bonus if you choose. From I was able to pick between Kagayaku, anzu no uta, onegai, and a few more but I was going through them pretty fast.

What's that SideM doing in the corner?

Fuck yeah Ema

sneaky Ema @non

...

>This is probably the most lenient event ever.
Not going to stop people from bitching.

Syoko's new SSR awakened puchi is such a clusterfuck.

How hard will the mission in later area be?

Last longer than Chihiro in bed

cute

Lenient doesn't mean entertaining.

>This event song and MV

Bonus is the 流行曲 with the gold CD icons or something.

Is it really lenient? Getting points seems pretty slow though that might just be the beginning I guess. Certainly not as stressful as ranking I suppose.

So is the event song the only Master+ chart available? Are the 29 and 30 in the difficulty select just placeholders?

I know xp here is proportional to stamina.

>Non-ranking event

Thank goodness.
The last thing we needed was more avenues for concentrated autism.

Current trending songs appear to be
Onegai Cinderella
Kagayaku Sekai no Mahou
Mitsuboshi
Anzu no Uta
You're stars shine on me
Nekketsu Otome A
Chiisana Koi no Misshitsu Jiken
Susume Otome (Rainbow)
Atashi Ponkotsu Android
Nation Blue

I imagine they'll change at midnight JST.
I don't know if this is only for certain groups, like with Ticket Time, or if it's for everyone

It's one use, doesn't travel between flights.

Previous event songs had master+ too.

They have said however that they will put back other master+ songs and make master+ for other songs in a future update.

In most ranking events, T5 ranking can be done without spending items or jewels.
The way this event goes, might have to spend stam to get to 15k. Same with Live Party, but at least there's a chance of random drop before that. Don't have that here.

Every time I start a medley or whatever you call it all the songs are in debut. Do I really need to change them one by one? I already set the level 30 in the settings.

I think everyone can agree this wasn't a well-planned event.

Point gain is Live Party levels of slow without even the benefit of being able to get the cards by RNG drop. So yes I'm going to bitch. Fuck, if this were a Groove or token event I'd have at least 1.5k by now.

Set Lv25 as your lowest, then 30 as your highest

...

It's a shame. They've put quite a bit of work into it too. And unlike RNG events, this comes with event song and commus too.
Don't really understand what they were thinking.

what the are you expecting when you haven't unlocked Master+ and yet set your minimum level to 30?

I miss when the rotation was Token-Groove-Caravan

So that means it's harder.

The event itself sounds perfectly fine to me.

So what's the fucking point of the event for harder songs? It just makes you fail so why woudl you bother playing harder ones?

It's for people who wouldn't fail, naturally.

Unless you can get Mio and Rin from the later areas, I'm confused why we get 4 Mios and 8 Rins. Also, holy fuck, 40k points and 2m attendees for all the Rins seems pretty brutal.

I'd like the event more if I could set my setlists ahead of time, because maximizing fan count/attendee gain seems necessary.

If you aren't shit at the game, being able to select only hard songs is a blessing

>I think everyone can agree
You think wrong.

git gud

First two areas cleared, and only used the free daily +30 stadrink so far.

I doubt anyone who can stay on top of their stamina will need to spam any drinks other than the free daily. But we'll see.

But they don't give more points or better drops?

To be fair, all you really need is one of each. Others are just for the hardcore fags who want the maximum possible.

I'm hoping I can grab a Rin off the attendee count before 15k regular points.

If you want to maximize your attendee gain, you need to play the harder songs.

>free daily +30 drink
How do i get this. This is the first I've heard of this, what the fuck

But they're more fun. If you aren't shit.

You are literally retarded. There have been free event drinks for the past 3 months at least.

You get it when you enter the event screen. Expires at next day change.
This has been given in many events before.

user, I...

>156136907
Just check the event page everyday after the reset at 12AM JST. It's added into your stamina drink inventory but on its own stack, that is it doesn't matter if you have 10 +30 drinks already, you'll still get it.
