I wonder about the reset too, if they do it, then we have really low chances for high LF mates since they'll have limited slots and need their mates again as well :/ but if they don't separate them, what happens if you're in the middle of a route from part 1... guess it will force us to just pick a new one. It would also help me make a decision about starting a 3rd route this round or skip it and save TLF to go a bit easier through Joshua's, and later Zain's (if they don't reset LFs and emates).

[member=20863]Arisa-chan[/member] If "SPEND GEMS" wasn't being shoved into our faces before, it certainly is now.

67500...meaning nearly a 30k jump. Holy.

[member=7333]Aiwethryne[/member] I know that. xD It was just my first time noticing and I was amused.

All I can hope for is the ranking hair at this point. x_X It'll be my consolation for not getting Robbie's double end hair.

Lessee, who's in part 2? I'll do Glenn's route, probably. If Zain is released with them, then him too, of course. The rest will depend on the prizes. <-- Materialistic ("Pixelistic"?)

[tssf]

With the sparse explanation given by Voltage we can hardly say what's happening. The only thing I understood is that we will be unable to get the rewards after the first part ends, even the background comes from 3 routes, not 6/7 - pretty strange. I'd like to know whether there will be something that needs the stories from the first part - it wouldn't exactly be fair to tell us that we need something we can't get anymore, or will the routes still be available just without the rewards?

Anyway, I also have my doubts about our LF.I have the suspicion it will be reset, a new event at all, probably new ranking... And I think quite a few players think this might happen (some high LF players aren't exactly trying or are low for their standards... I mean, they are treating part one and two more like separate events. My guess is that the whole thing was divided to squeeze a birthday event between them, but that could have been done by simply interrupting it, still allowing us to get everything from part one... But this is by far more restricted, almost as if there was no connection... Then again, the Lf have the event's name, no part one on them, right? It's so complicated...

Greedy Voltage, making events harder or not, this is just insane and a rip-off,

[potao]

Keeping players generally in the dark sounds more like a business strategy (albeit crappy) here.
By leaving details on future events vague, players who have particular goals (Full Clear, Ranking, etc) will more or less buy Gems in a hurry to finish their goal before the event ends because they have little idea on what will happen for Part 2.
It also prevents players from planning and saving their resources so that they don't have to spend so much for Part 2 or whatever is next.
It's the same thing with the Fever Banquet Packs (which don't seem to appear often anymore, wae), offering a good deal at the last minute to persuade players to buy now instead of saving up for later, where you're not sure what they'll throw next.
AND the Butler Stories for the Town Event. Like, they knew they had to release those before the Town Event started. They just suddenly announced it a couple of days before the event ended to freak out players who hadn't kept up as well.

man, I bet they'll have a Gem Campaign for Part 2 so I die in a pit somewhere when I buy Gems for Zain's BDay. otl let me reckless in peace voltage

[aoxsaba]

Makes sense, and yeah, the announcement of butlers stories at the last minute is the perfect example... sigh.
Now I was thinking if it's possible they include Zain's secret royal night as a route in his bday event, I can't imagine them giving a part 3, which would be a separate event again, with only one route :/ or he'll be a surprise route announced 2 days before the event ends, just to kill us hah. This post sounds like he'll be in part 2, though the app doesn't agree (yet?) http://voltageparty.tumblr.com/post/119591896655/hello-what-does-it-mean-by-the-part-1-will-only he can be the all clear prize

[Aiwethryne]

My gosh. Asking Voltage's PARTY Tumblr gets faster responses than their BMPP app email inquiries. =w= I should do that next time.

Of course all of this is a business strategy, but I still wonder how this impacts new, future players feeding into their money tunnel. The common psychological ploy is not without hazard, and the mere point of reference as to what the "easier days" were like can both drive and repel players with or without the knowledge.

Tnx [member=22128]aoxsaba[/member]  fr posting d info here, its v useful:), V wants to earn more by dividing single E into 2 parts, as there will b double ranking battle n playrs wil buy gems to compete. I dnt knw if its working fr thm cz nearly 4 of my emates r not spendng as much as they used to, i used to spend 20-25 gems  on d first day of e, then 5 more gems fr last route bt now i took it really slow n spend only 14 gems in whole E. Also for 3 route E, 1she nearly alwys demanded 14k Tlf bt V has noy decreased d rq>.<
I compltd 1st She then mistaknly choose d same route again(phne ws laging) n requirement reached to 44800k Tlf:/ >.<. For 2nd She(aftr 1she n 1He) last tlf is 68k .
I am on my 3rd She n last TLf req is 89900.
Hoping v will restore the previous rules>< btw sori fr d bad english>< ^^!

The Voltage notes are included in the main post, but thanks for actually providing the link I was hankering for, aoxsaba~ I could not tell which pieces of info were new or old. 

OTL I so hate having to think of answers myself. *always gets it wrong*

Now for my second route. Yeaaaahhh. Needing to "settle" to get TLF and move on while this Fever is ongoing... Sadness~~

[Porphyra]

The more we learn about this event format, the more concerned I am for events in the future. Splitting it to shoehorn Zain's birthday event in between would have made some sense (however little), but it's like ashkim says...Doing this just doubles the opportunities to squeeze gems out of players. I can only hope this doesn't become the norm from now on.

[Aiwethryne]

But I reaaallly hope that, being considered separate events, we get another Gem for event entry in Part 2. How are things looking in Love Tiara? I would deepen my frown if they did not do this there, but it would leave me with some mental ease since that would imply that they will not continue something so drastic on this side... optimistically.

[Ravonna]

I had quoted what Voltage said at the first page, but I guess only a few look at it OTL

Hi ashkim! So you're Krishna! I had seen you a lot in bmpp, and I think we became emates once...? Either that or I've sent you requests numerous times that I thought you became my emate Yeah, my memory really sucks

89900... So the 4th route is somewhere around that number... (ノಠ ∩ಠ)ノ彡( \o°o)\

[flavoura]

And at time like this, one of my new emates seemed to stop playing at least actively. I was quite depressed already 

Why do I get the feeling the second part of the event's TLF mission will be lower than the first part of the event..? or maybe it would be just another one of my wishful thinking?

I think I may have an obsession for that honeybee castle. Really fond of anything honey or bee related 

[tssf]

Well, at least they are paying attention to their Tumblr... Doesn't surprise me that nothing will be carried over, so I can use all LF on this part of the event. Right - if I get any that is. I really hope I can get the castle, but my luck is terrible this time.

I wouldn't be too sure about their strategy being the best. Almost all of my rgeular high LF mates didn't spend anything on this one and it might stay this way, because we are pretty much required to do what we did for 6 routes for 3 now. Plus, entering an event that might not have really good rewards and only 3 princes... It's just not the best idea, even if I was spending gems, I wouldn't be willing to do so on the second part unless the rewards are amazing, because I simply don't like Glenn and don't care about Joshua.  And Edward probably is the least popular of the princes.

[Arisa-chan]

After a series of unaccepted request, suddenly one of regular emates said she would offering a spot, and it's ready for me
...AND at the same time another high LF mate who just start an event today and suddenly already over 30k PLUS haven't got any emates yet, request me back (after I delete my request to her thinking she's not joint this event)
Now I'm in dilemma....since I only have one spot open now...and already promise that spot to first mate
Since I'm still waiting, my fingers really tempted to click this another request
Why this should happened now 

So...I got the ECB....while looking on so far away all SHE bonus
I want to do the 3rd SHE but I doubt get TLF needed and 8500 LF I need myself with 20 hours left
Only mate with 100k would make it happen...and a lot LF card plus battle would take me there...so I should save it for Joshua later :(
