What are silver ballot tickets and new wave tickets? Can someone explain what the wedding event is??? Thank you XD Just to add onto this, you need to vote but typically you need to vote at for the top 5 girls. Each silver ticket is worth 1 vote. Gold tickets (you have to spend money for) is worth 3 votes. They like to make the wedding event every June. Typically the top 5 girls are Yumi, Basho, Souji, Ikaruga, and Leo. If you vote 200 or 400 times, you get a UR of the card as long as it's top 5. If you guys want to prepare, I recommend to try and get the S rank LR Souji card. (It goes well with Homura and Minori). Just curious I remember getting a LR MeiMei wedding card, what was the reason for that again? Good luck you guys! It's going to be another grind!

Hoping the girls who get wedding cards will be those who didn't get wedding cards before
Curious who'd get one. Would love to see Josui or Kasumi get one

Unless they change the rules (which they probably won't) the girls who actually get cards from the voting events aren't the ones who get the most votes, but actually the ones who got the most amount of votes from an individual person. Usually Meimei is the winner, but the other winners usually shift around, but it's often someone different each time. It's best to watch the midway results to see who it will probably be before sinking all your votes.
Of course, the most popular character (literally Yumi) will still get a card if you voted 200 times no matter what.
If anything, the most popular girls will probably get gacha cards next week. I can already see the Yumi, Bashou, Ikaruga, Leo, and Souji cards (even though I'm pretty sure all of them got gacha wedding cards last time...)

Yes key Thing about this wedding event WAIT UNTIL THE MIDEVENT. No need to waste your votes.
And vote 200 for 1 person i believe. Just to be safe.
You get to see the heavy bias toward the top 5. There are also few surprises INDIVIDUAL Surprises [like Meimei and Chihaya]
Anyways, you guys think the game is dying down. Maybe the people who voted for those people don't play anymore.
Haha. That's probably wishful thinking.

I definitely feel like this game is dying down a bit. I partly say that because I barely played last week's event and ended up in the Top 600s, when that would normally put me in the 2000s range.
I myself have been playing this game a bit less, partly because I've been so busy, but partly because I am losing interest a bit. On events like this I'll still check in every hour to at least get the bare minimum points, and I do like to shoot for Fever Boss 50 for the UR rebirth book. This event though, I'm not particularly excited about the prize cards, though ironically I really want that Motochika, so I have some grinding to do tonight, now that I finally have some free time.
I've spent...quite a bit on this game, and I have a nice collection of cards that I'm proud of. But that's sort of it now. I don't really have any incentive to spend on this game even if the cards are appealing, because I've been screwed by the gacha enough times. At this point I only spend if there's a guaranteed card or sometimes if there's an LR rebirth or something and there are enough cards for me to want to try (and most of the time, I still just get all D's). Heck, I've been playing a lot of Fire Emblem Heroes, and that's a much more rewarding gacha game, mostly because I'm a big fan of the series. Sometimes I end up spending a lot, but there's a lot more of an end goal in terms of crafting characters to use in the arena and giving them the best skills. Here, you just max them out and hope you have good deck combinations, and all of that is meaningless unless you have slayers, and even then the free slayers pale in comparison to the premium gacha slayers.
I'm not hating on this game, but sometimes there's really not much to do. The addition of XR's actually does give sort of an end goal, since there's currently only one per girl (I'm hoping it stays that way) so they represent the strongest possible card of each girl. They are all (for the most part) available, either during the month of their release, or from the LR gacha, so once you have the card, you can do Challenge Mode to get the materials to get the card to XR, which is very satisfying, as well as giving you something to do and look forward to. But even then, it can take a while. I've fought Hard Mode Rin every other day this month and haven't gotten a single white scroll. I need 19 more before I can get my Rin and Asuka to XR.
Anyway, despite these flaws, I'm still sticking with this game. I'm the head of the SIA team and that's an honor, and I like this community here. Plus, I've spent so much on this game that I kinda need to make the most of the cards I've gotten. So hopefully they'll find ways to bring my (and others') attention back to this game. As excited as I am for the usual wedding polls, I'm probably not going to spend since usually none of the characters I like actually end up getting cards. So unless there's a good card in the gacha, I'll probably hold off. Plus Fire Emblem Heroes is also having a wedding gacha next month so I'll probably end up sinking my money into that instead...

I kinda feel the same way, tbh. I haven't been putting in as much time into the game, or the forums, as I used to. Oh yeah, um... I can finally get rid of my Motochika Normals, 'bout damn time she got a new card, finally have closure, blah blah blah, etc. etc.

I'm in the same boat. I've played the game for 2 years now. You can see that I haven't been on the forums as I used to be.
Anyways, I like the event theme but it gets so repetitive with the same tower mechanic. I do like the Homura LR Prize card so I am considering to go for it.
Here's hoping to a slightly new mechanic, which they desperately need to get my attention, or good prize cards.
It's interesting to see the change from 1 girl get UR+ to 3 girls get UR+, the XR card, infinite boss, and Challenge mode. Here's hoping they do more team events and you have to work together to get certain prizes like the fairy tale cards a couple months back. (Snow White Yomi).

its funny you all say this because honestly i was having the same dilemma months ago and my interest in the game only got spurred because i made some friends playing it
its been interesting to see how much the game has changed so drastically but i also feel like some of those changes were for the worst, mostly because they changed/designed new features specifically to get you to spend money whereas before a lot of those features were available for everyone, even the free players. sure, they're still there in some respects, but there's more to it now than just "hope the boss drops the card." now you need to get a separate amount of medals, get enough to use the gacha, and pray that you get it. this month, they made that whole experience easier on f2p, but they still have these slayers that are intended to give you a boost that makes getting those cards a lot easier
like, remember memorial events? those were really stupid, and never worth it. and now they're actually cool and give you things for actually doing what you're intended to do. they don't happen as much anymore though. plus, they seem to have gotten rid of the gimmick they made specifically for them. (memorial cards) i can't think of the last time we had new ones. the old ones are pretty much relegated to reprints only every once in a while.
remember that fairy tale event? that was actually cool and different. but they never did that again.
nowadays they've been using this obvious pattern every month, and only switch things up every once in a while for the 3rd event of the month. the pattern has changed considerably compared to before. now it's Training Event (raid) > Battle Event > random Raid event > Tower
they've been following this structure for quite some time now, and it's not necessarily bad, it's just that in the past, they never really did this. both raid events were always different. hell. i remember when it took something like 6 months before we saw another training event.
i will always lament the loss of so many of the other freebie cards, though. having 2 cards as ultra formidable drops was a pain, because the first one had a time limit attached, but it was still something to work towards to. the loss of an extra SR from battle events also hurts, especially because they gimped the battle event gachas the way they did. they only got rid of the unique fever mode drops in tower events, with the extra fever mode ones still being unique and considerably easier to get, but that also still kinda sucks. it also really sucked when they actually made it harder to get the fever mode/extra fever mode cards after i realized how easy it was to get both when i first started playing. but this was also when tower events were a giant pain in the ass and when i was still new. at the very least, they made going for midevent reward cards easier, and worth it, too. i remember the few times i got top 50, the extra fever mode card not being helpful at all
but yeah. i understand your plight. i did notice that things slowed down considerably. at the very least, the SIA discord exists. i mostly hang out around there, and try to help the people who have only joined the discord. sometimes, neat stuff happens, like this guy who's actually made a program that's combing the game's IDs for all of the possible available cards. (we've figured out the ID system, essentially, although the IDs themselves are completely random, so the program has to comb through all the possible IDs as slowly as possible.)

Like every once in a while I'll have incentive to play. But it really comes down to a combination of: 1) I really want the Top 50 prize card 2) I really want the premium gacha slayer cards, as in enough to gamble money for them 3) I actually get the premium gacha slayer cards 4) I have a good deck skill to put them into (if it's a raid event) 5) I actually have enough supplies to make it all the way to Top 50 (and now they've made the Tower Event LR Top 30 instead. Towers used to be the easiest to get imo) 6) I actually have time to play this enough, because it requires a lot of constant grinding (not that I need to worry about this, it's not like I have a life ha ha ha)
I like events where the only cards I want are like maybe the Top 500 card, and/or the free support gacha card. Not to use, but just to add to my collection. Because at this point this game is really just about building a collection of your favorite cards. I have tons of cards that are completely useless but like them because the are is hawt cute. But beyond that, there isn't much of a point. It'd be one thing if the Top 50 prize was as strong of a slayer as like the S or A prize cards, but if you want to keep winning, you need to keep spending money. And most of the time, I just want the cards for the sake of collecting them, not to win the event. And this isn't really the kind of game you show your friends unless they're into it.
Again, I'm not quitting this game or anything, but there's definitely less of an incentive to play. Even the wedding poll doesn't seem as interesting, since it's just going to end up being Yumi, Meimei, and some mystery character based on who wants to dump a million votes on their waifu. With Battle events, I'll check every 20 minutes if I don't forget, to get the maximum points. Same with tower events, I'll check in every hour. Right now I'm grinding for Motochika and I'm worried I won't make it and I swear if I end up missing the one card I actually want from this event imma be pissed. But for stuff like the raid events, there's little incentive to play, except for maybe building up a UR+, but even those aren't as exciting since there's three of them and they don't seem as...personal?
Ironically, raid events are sometimes my favorite because they give me something to do while binge watching stuff. But the moment I can no longer one-shot enemies without spending an AP (even if it's the free one), then I'm out.
I still love this series and this community, and can't wait for Peach Beach Splash.
Edit: Yep, missed the Motochika. Was getting way less points than usual. Maybe I'll get lucky and get her to drop but it doesn't seem likely...
Okay like I had to write this long paper for my class last night and it took me forever to finish, meanwhile I can crank out this long rant about this game without even trying...

once you get a couple of XRs, i feel like the game will probably get a lot easier, particularly if they're not using "all" deck skills (murasaki...why.....) but considering how hard it is to actually get those XRs because they keep holding off on letting people actually get the scrolls...and the bad drop rate of scrolls to begin with...yeah....
at the very least, the wedding stuff is soon, and we'll see what happens there. im really hoping for a nice login bonus and maybe some other goodies

And how many are there? Also when can I use the new wave tickets. I have been getting them daily The XR cards are hard and long to get. You need 10 scrolls of a certain color (typically done by getting top 30 in the four events of a certain month). This month is Ryobi so 10 red scrolls that can only be dropped this month. Then you need 30 LR crystals ( obtainable from the Challenge Rin drops 40 of the white diamonds to make 1 ). Then you need 30 Hebijo emblems (also obtainable from Challenge Rin 10 of the small black emblem things to make 1) and another 30 color orbs (5 black dust and 1 color hammer from the challenge rin). The XR cards released are Yumi, Leo, Murasaki, Asuka, Homura, Ryobi, and Rin. Rin is currently available to get but good luck getting the scrolls!!!! The good news is placing well in the events can help drop some LR crystals, emblems, and the colored orbs [but not many] [Notice it's a long process getting as evidenced by the paragraph I just wrote] You can use the new wave tickets when the new month starts. [You can only do 1x a day so don't miss any days] Wow, I haven't answered a question on the forum for a while. It still feels good. Anyways, yeah I'm gonna go for this event. I like the Homura card and I got the LR Souji so the next wedding event my decks can be good if i like the cards. Typically, I like the wedding cards. The LR Souji deck has a deck bonus with Homura, Minori, Aria, and Motochika, cards you get from this event. Also bonus that Homura and Minori are slayer cards too.

I'm getting a little bit bored of this game, the cards are just getting too much plain ....they just put a popular character and add "LRARE" thing to it...and make you spend a lot of money for them .....i ve been playing a lot another Mobage game called Furyo Yuugi Shuffle the Card.... that game is awesome, specially its art ♡... and you get the SSR cards even without paying (ssr are the rarest cards)

Tbh, while I feel like I may not be as motivated to play as I did when I first started, I personally haven't really gotten bored of it. It could just be that I haven't been playing as long as most of you, but still, I always enjoy having it off to the side while I do other things. I still find it enjoyable.

as far as how i feel, i think the game has just gotten way too hard now. i don't feel as compelled to go hard anymore because kiss cards have changed the game so drastically to the point where the balance is just too messed up because of them. defense debuffing kiss cards are honestly the worst of the bunch because the events literally become impossible if one gets introduced.
when i can't do damage to bosses the normal way, i just don't feel compelled to keep playing the game during that specific event. i enjoy the team building aspect of the game a lot, and i like messing with all the different cards i've built up over the past 2~ years ive been playing this game, but because of this new structure they've made, i can't really do that anymore.
back in the day, i used to tell new or struggling players to focus on getting the SRs to 10/10 rebirths as soon as they could because they would be helpful by building up your collection and getting them as strong as possible would help in future events, but that hasnt been good advice to give ever since they updated the event gachas and made it possible to only get the card to 10/10 by getting to 500m points. getting to 500m used to be easier, but the balance of super hard is atrociously bad and the resource cost is just not worth it for a card that won't be super great in the long run.
even event reward URs are starting to be less useful. either the card's skill isn't good, or the girl is just not useful because she won't have great linking options. it's a huge, huge pain.
