Haha, I love how we're all freaking out about Wilfred's SHE. I did, too. (#ﾟﾛﾟ#)

I barely made the REC, and not without a lot of worrying and pleading requests to high-LF players. To my relief and gratitude, one accepted, and now I can relax a bit, as the EC hair isn't that appealing to me. (I've turned into a chibi collector, I think.) I've started to feel "meh" about the background; if I don't complete all the SHEs, I'll live, but I'll miss reading the stories in person.

Another thing I noticed is that I'm getting more emate requests than usual from people with marginally higher LF than mine, which I suppose is further indication that Voltage has made us desperate. I have 4 pages of requests currently. Granted, my slots are usually full by now, but still.

[member=23177]Ravonna[/member] Wow! You're usually on your 3rd SHE by now? That's fast~

I know! That was such an honor. A rare gesture of kindness from Mr. Frosty. It's good to know MC's face is worth more than a wine glass. xD And of course MC just had to cut herself on a shard when trying to help clean up.

By the way, does anyone from here go by "Paige" in BMPP? I feel like I've seen that name mentioned in passing before, but I forget who's associated with it.

I am thinking more along the lines that Voltage is comparing its worldwide audiences too much with its JPN version players. Their unrealistic attitude is bringing them to lose touch with their customers. It has even become alienation within the band of players who do spend some money, when before it was mainly the free and casual players who had the most difficult time in PARTY.

Higher players can no longer afford (probably also in the literal sense) to take on other users who do not jam in the money, and being an average, non-spending player with a few high ranking event mates is still sometimes not enough to finish. I don't think that Voltage gets enough emails from disgruntled players to make them consider easing up on their rising bar, but, at the same time, I wonder what they are doing with the emails they do receive. Near the beginning of the app, I'd actually get replies from Voltage's support team. And now? Never a chirp.

It is a disappointment when many players came from the GREE version and have a point of reference of less stressful times. Without spending in either, going from being able to complete a surplus of event routes in the GREE version to being unable to finish THREE ROUTES is a cliff drop.


Aside from that, I have been losing Stamina because the app sometimes won't open, usually on my iP5. Not as much on my iP6, but it still happens. No matter where I am, whether I am using wifi or cellular data, I get hours when the app gives me a white screen upon opening, or I click on that purple info screen... and end up on a white screen. >__> Then I'd close the app and repeat for half an hour before trying again in another half hour.

It is beyond frustrating that I am spending literal hours my life waiting for a game to load, just to "battle" and close it until the next time I must fight the battle for the princes. Like right now. The app went into remission for enough time that I was able to do all five Dates. Upon hitting the last date's 'successful date' screen, the page would not even fully load and that was it. Can't enter beyond the white screen again~


I wonder what Washu is doing after I glance through the empty main post walkthrough.

[potao]

I think if anything right now, Voltage should keep the event requirements identical to LT.
I dunno what the LF differences are for this event, but on Glenn's BDay LT's Personal LF for SHEs was 8k and the first route clear was 13k (ours was 8.5k and 18k respectively) so I can't imagine it being better for this event.
They do have to account for other fees that the JPN staff doesn't have, but I honestly don't think the difficulty bump is the main reason the staff can afford food on their plate (unless working under Voltage is awful pay but that's a different problem).

But to really sum up all my thoughts on this - I don't like the idea that free players pretty much have to depend on consistent-spender emates to easily clear more than 2 routes on a week-long event. And I really don't like the idea that moderate-spending players also have to also depend on a crew of "good" emates to simply full clear.
The only dividing lines between players should be "free", "paying", and "I'm going to be within Rank 50 and will stab anyone that gets in my way", really. 

Man, I don't even think LT players are as "serious" as BMPP players, since I assume most of the former are Joshige/GREE veterans where p. much everything is better in that game (except having an ancient UI I guess). and ot but yakov's joshige route is coming out soon do u see my tears ??? sob

[member=7847]SecretHaven[/member] I believe [member=19541]Lavea[/member] here is Paige :)

Hmm I just finished my 2nd SHE, and already got around seven pages of requests. Made it harder to look for buried req from mates I'd long asked before ><

About Wil's SHE which I just finished less than few hours ago.. I blinked several times when I saw that particular lines. Thinking did I read what I think I'd just read? Lol xD that's Wildabeast for you..

[tssf]

They can't change the whole world, because unlike the Japanese players who are ready to pay a lot to play, the rest won't do such a thing, the best players who obviously were paying are slowly stopping – and no wonder there, Voltage is increasing the requirements and chasing even those who were ready to pay away, why pay more and get less? The mentality is different, so they're increasing the requirements, because they can't find anything that would actually sell as well as it does in Japan.The strategy obviously is to make people pay "just a bit, it's nothing" at first to clear routes, then squeeze out more and more with high requirements.

Like [member=7333]Aiwethryne[/member]  I also had a few problems with the dates recently, but it's not related to the app itself or to my phone, I've just been a bit busier and in place with bad connection. My problem usually is the loading page, it sometimes takes forever and the battle animations. I wish they would at least make an option to turn this off.

I'm currently close to finishing my third SHE, should be able to do it before the end of the day. But finding mates really is difficult. Last event I had many requests, not few over my own LF, right now… I can't even finding people with my LF in the recommended tab and all the requests I got are around 10k below my LF so no way… But the TLF is crazy and I really want Luke…

[Washu_Takahashi]

Wahh, sorry I missed so much @.@ I really need to get better about logging in on the weekends. I'm just so lazy, haha. I'll update Keith and Wilfred completely right now, and then search through everyone's replies and see what's done for Roberto so far xD EDIT: done :3

About Wilfred's route - RIGHT?! Wil was sucha perv xD It was really funny to see that side of him

Spoiler  Hidden:

Wil: "If you have to get wet...I don't want it to be because of the ocean...I'd rather it be in my bed..."
Me: *DEAD*

I was able to clear the first 2 SHE thanks to Shadow being my mate again (I'm so glad I found her when she was brand new wearing basically starter clothes and took the risk to add her as a mate @.@) I'm already almost at enough PLF to clear the 3rd SHE, but only 60k TLF, so it'll still be a while. If only one of my other high princess mates would accept me...*looks longingly at Kathryn* If Kathryn would accept me then I could afford to add Tssf or Arisa or Aiwei at least @.@

Part of me wishes I'd never played the GREE version, haha. If I hadn't, I would have tried this game, realized they were forcing me to pay for CGs, and quit (as I've quit every other game that requires me to pay for CGs, such as Niflheim and Blood and Roses) But I'm already too emotionally and now monetarily invested to quit now @.@

[Arisa-chan]

even his battle animation...has some interesting comment...

ugh.....still 3 k to 3rd SHE and A LOT TLF
hope one of my others regular high LF able to add me soon

[Kara~]

It hurts to be 60 LF away from finishing~

Anyway, assuming I FC this event again, I have two open slots available and I already see two KC requests on my list. I will eventually (hopefully) get to them sometime this week.. Before the event ends.

[Misami]

Woah, i just read all 8 pages on this topic . The tlf for current E seems really brutal !   I hope everyone r doing okay  . Reading all of the comments here makes me think of Glenn BDE ( my worst nightmare)  . I hope u guys are doing okay . Sorry for butting in  . Just thought i should give u all some encouragement thought im not sure whether it helped  .

[member=9202]Kara[/member] [member=6080]tssf[/member] [member=23177]Ravonna[/member] [member=22493]flavoura[/member] , gambatte ! Im rooting for all of u 

[Washu_Takahashi]

Kara - I think I have like 2 energy right now...might not be enough, but I'll take you on both dates xD

Misami - Are you not playing this event? :0

[Arisa-chan]

Hi, [member=23302]Misami[/member] : we're doing okay...I think
My goal only till all SHE anyway....and if lucky enough..get 1 HE after
I always battle  until the end of event....umm...minus 5 hours before the next one starting 

[member=9202]Kara[/member]: I'll be wait when the chance open..that's after you manage to FC 
A week too short and ended so fast for an event

[Aiwethryne]

*gets no rooting*

My other account is fully capable of finishing the first SHE, but I am leaving it in wait just in case my main account can't make it. If I do get all three SHEs, my other account's duty is to the NEs. I mean HEs. Another thing that puts me off after playing the GREE version – Voltage calls the GREE Normal End the PARTY Happy End. >__>

Washu~ By contrast, all of the SWD apps that you believed to only give non-ending CGs if you pay for them have a completely free option. It will just take longer to collect the Coins required because they are tied to Tapjoy, but I am personally able to amass roughly 400 Coins every week... and funnel them into storage space. OTL I find everything about the SWD games (except Collection events, which are definitely impossible to reach the end in without some spending or extreme Tapjoying) to be infinitely easier and cheaper than in Voltage freemiums.

[Ravonna]

Hi [member=23302]Misami[/member]! No we're not doing okay~

Voltage's killing our soul~ our sleep~ our wallets~

You should have joined us! Misery loves company The more the merrier! 

I've dropped most of my otome games except BMPP
I can't get enough of this for some inexplicable reason...

[Washu_Takahashi]

Aiwei - I used to do that for the okko and the SWD games that allowed it, but it got to be such a hassle. The breaking point was when I signed up for some free trail credit monitoring or something for major points, and it was a pain in the butt to cancel since I had to call them and give the reason to why I was canceling before I got charged etc etc. My own fault for doing it, but it seemed better than downloading and uninstalling another 20 games that day.

My luck with the gacha is terrible this time. Only a few LF cards and no pasta. And only 1 town spot so far. Just looked and apparently 500 LF cards and banquets are finally being offered, though I haven't gotten either yet. Any lucky ducks here?

[Kara~]

My gacha luck blows too. I only got the boat house and no other town spot. No banquets or 500 LF either. Got a couple pastas and a boatload of umbrellas which I end up selling anyway.

[member=20863]Arisa-chan[/member] : I am probably gonna finish my first HE today and you are first in my request list. After that, hopefully I can squeeze another HE in and accept [member=23177]Ravonna[/member] . I don't know if I will be able to get any farther than 2 HEs.. Which is fine because I need to save up my resources for part 2.
