Sounds correct. My team was 50% last event, and it got me max 4500 points. Actually upcoming two events are going to be painful, since I'm determined not to roll until scorer gets featured again...

Thanks for the info. I was netting like 3k per run. So if I can even get to the 120k room, that should speed up my farming a bit. I've got ~8500 stars saved up. I may pull once on the upcoming gacha, but I'm saving a majority for a future banner I actually like the girls in, ha.

For a brief moment...

Really though, this should be a pretty easy event for me to stay in top 1000 since my main band is cool anyway.

So what's the max number of Area Items we can unlock right now? I'm still missing a handful, but then I have a couple stories to go through so that might unlock a few.

Seems like I can average, at most, 1500 points per song. I could try some adjusting that increase the boost, but it would probably lower strength enough to kick me out of the 120k room.
Don't know how F2P players are expected to be able to tier... though I suppose Love Live's tiering system, which is largely determined by who is willing to use up the most gems to refill LP, isn't exactly balanced either. But it does rely less on luck.

Per song? Not per flame? You should focus on getting event point boosts then. At least have a team with 3-4 Cool members.
Have you been pulling in the gacha? If you play enough during events and level up low-ranked characters you should be able to do a 10-pull every other event or so.

The more I play this, the more I love the system in place. Tiering was so damn infuriating in Love Live. It was all about who was willing to open their pocket book because the rewards was solid. I love that this game basically says "Play enough and you'll get the event cards" so that ranking in the high tier is pure bragging rights. I hope they never change that.

Meant per 1-boost song. So 4500 with a full boost. Which still pales in comparison to the 6k-7k numbers that were getting thrown around earlier.
I poured 10000 stars into the gacha last event and still only walked away with five new 3*, none of which were Cool. If I have to roll on almost very gacha, regardless of whether I like the characters or not, just to stay competitive, then that's awful design.

For the aspect of event-limited cards, that's true, but people here still seem to take it pretty seriously to rank in the higher tiers for the resources available.

Pulled two times for second-best girl Moca. Got 4-star Tae instead. Oh well, that's a good problem to have anyway lol

So in seven pulls, I got 3 four-stars, and including that one I got for rerolling, my team has four four-stars. I'm pretty surprised as a F2P to have this many this early. Or am I thinking of the probabilities wrong? For a single roll, the chance of getting a four-star is (1 - .97^9 * .9) = .31. Oh, that's higher than I thought. So expectation is 3.22 pulls to get a four-star. To get 3 four-star on average then is 9.66 rolls. I pulled 7 times. Guess I got a little lucky on the curve.

Hurray for discrete probability!

I have more or less the same band stats as you, but my Area Bonus is a lot lower. What items do you have set, if you don't mind me asking? I can only hit 16.7k. :/

Jeez, was 1000-4000 always this cutthroat? I was at like 1200-ish in the morning and then 5 hours later I went all the way down to 3000+. In the two previous events I was in the top 1000 and my placement would move like 300 places at most within 5 hours.

Luckily, I'm back in at 632.

First day and last day are always brutal.
Doesn't help that the new titles are in and everybody wants the best one they can reasonably attain.

I'm a free player and getting top 1000 is absolutely possible. It's the top 100 that are for the whales and I've come to accept that.

Does anyone have experience with sound adjustment settings? I have mine at 3 and I'm not sure if it is helping me or harming me.

Man, I love Afterglow and back-to-back banners doesn't help. Good thing I got 4* Ran with my free stars, but Moca made me opened my wallets...Spent $200 USD. Technically I only spent $15 because most came from GameStop gift card that I got.

Anyway, got 4 new 4* out of it. Moca along with Saya, Rimi, and Kokoro. Also, RNG also gave me with like 3 dupes of 4* Kasumi...

Hopefully I should be good for a few weeks until next Afterglow banner whenever that is.

I did OK with this gacha. I rolled twice and came away with a total of 1~4* and 3~3* characters. Not AMAZING, but more than enough to help me make that jump. After some leveling and extra work I've hit the 123k with area boosts. Once I finish leveling all the girls and idolizing them, I should be well into the 135-140k range.

Looking at future events it seems it'll be quite a while before there's a new Kokoro, Kaoru, or Misaki 4*. Guess I'll be able to save up a bit since I have alright teams for each attribute now.

Give it awhile for folks to space out. I jumped from 5400 to 3400 after my first song today lol

A lot of people just go hard for the event cards and then stop playing

I think I'm not able to be efficient enough with boosts to make that happen. Don't have time to play during working hours, so that's 8-10 hours worth of boosts lost per day. Combine that with weak team and weak event bonus and, well...

I have Masters Room access, and a 100% Score bonus for this Event. Will have to make sure I get and stay in Top 1K, because I don't think I'm going to have things this good again for a while. Last Event was a choice of Score bonus or Masters room.

One too many instances of a 0-scorer ruining a round. Don't care if it's a hacker or what, I'm done. Have better games to play that actually respect the player's time.

Rather than people who quit mid song, I'm getting sick of people that can't play a certain difficulty but do it anyway and fail, resulting in about 10 straight C or B ranks for multi-live for me. If you want to screw up playing hard or expert than don't play multi-lives for that. I've even had people fail some of the easiest songs in the game playing at normal.

I sometimes fail songs cuz the game lags on me hard. Could be my phone though

I've had some hitching lately on my 6S+ and that's a bummer.

Also, if I'm ever in a spot where I feel like playing a level 19+ song will result in anything worse than a -3, I'll just play it on Normal for the easy FC. Does that hurt my multi-score?

A finished Normal is better than a failed Hard, you won't be "hurting" your score, you just have a lower score cap since there are fewer notes to hit

Gotcha. I tend to play Master if it's on the easier side of 25. But otherwise, it just depends on where I'm at at the time of play.

Is there a good solution to prevent my phone from sliding around when I play? That's usually the thing that keeps me from playing harder songs every single time.

Yeah, I was just about to post something like this. I was forced back down to Veterans room for the first day of this event, and every 2/3 songs there are at least 1 or 2 people that fail the song. Is my RNG with players that bad? It wasn't like this before. The first time I entered veterans a few weeks ago, everybody was doing their job. I didn't even remember anybody failing during my time there because I kept thinking that since I was sub-120k, most people that are already here should know what they're doing and should be better than me. Hell, I was grateful to be carried to A's and S's but at least I wasn't failing my songs.

I would have been content in staying in Veterans if that was the case but now I've had to use up most of my small blue gems for the final dessert upgrade to bring me back up to Masters.

I'd think everyone loves the obvious best band.
I can't really argue this, but I'm not sure if I could choose between them and Poppin' Party. Roselia has Lisa, who I also love. This isn't an easy choice, I like pretty much all of the bands. My least favorite is probably Hello Happy World, but even those I like. It's rare for me to be fans of all of the bands in a gacha game like this. So many likable characters.

Roselia has Sayo, though, who's absolute trash.

I like them all as well, but Afterglow is on a whole other level. I like all five of them.
