DanceDanceRevolution Dance Wars (iOS) (US)

Looks like only the UI for the 'Mission' page was updated. Still kind of a nice change.

Bug related, I'm still waiting on the bonus for reviewing the app which hasn't been rewarded in the inbox yet...

Also, the requirements on some missions has been improved including: the Lamour et la liberte score requirement has been decreased from 900,000 to 850,000.

EDIT: The stamina text has been improved in Battle Mode.

I'm not sure about the new mission mode UI. I preferred when it showed the stamina with numbers, it's a little hard to tell with the gauge thingy. That said, it's really nice how it shows which sticker you got so you can tell if you already had it or not.

Also, JasonBaby, whoever you are, you're awesome (and sorry for taking so many).

i've been trying to get him to see this thread for a while, but the messaging on DW and even on GREE limits the characters for a simple URL link. But yeah, been trying to get random people to find this site and share their adventures into the Dance Wars :v

Oh also isn't it new that it tells you what difficulty your crew members got a high score on? Like, in the crew log, when it says someone got a new high score, if you tap on it, it says "[username] has scored [score] playing '[song]' by [difficulty]" (because apparently difficulties are artists now, or something)

A new song pack has arrived:
Artist: Calvin Harris
Songs: Flashback
You used to hold me
I'm not alone

Out of the three, I'm Not Alone sounds the best (probably because I like the video). Unfortunately they all sound almost the same.

At least they got the genre right with this pack.

I wouldn't be so hesitant about getting this if the difficulty was harder. I'm Not Alone I've know before, but the others are new to me.

Also, it seems ZIV ignored Jason Mraz pretty effectively. We probably aren't going to get a front page banner because of this, and we still haven't gotten the songs databased and bannered yet.

We could always throw Mraz's pack in a little blurb after the Calvin Harris pack in the announcements...
The Calvin Harris pack sounded like a good thing. Here's to hoping it boosts the game's budget and whatnot... still waiting on motivation to get Pendulum from a while ago.

FINALLY RANDOMLY GOT THE SECOND CHAOS STICKER YAY now someone who actually needs it, go take it.
EDIT: Aaand it's gone like not even a half hour later, never mind.

Fixed the database but I need the files provided to me from someone that's bought the songs so I can get the banners.

This game to me is a love/hate relationship with the DLC. Most definitely buying it

Edit: the banners for the songs actually look a whole lot better than it's predecessor's as far as I've seen.

Yeah, I plunked down as well.

Timing of I'm Not Alone and Flashback are a bit early, but You Used to Hold Me is mighty accurate. Flashback is the weakest song, but they all have pretty fun charts.

Banners for the Calvin Harris pack:

Wow, those are fairly well done.

GOD DAMMIT THEY DIDN'T PUT IN READY FOR THE WEEKEND

I had my shoes on and everything...

---

Not sure if anyone caught this or not, but when I checked the 'Invite Your Friends!' tab, it said that every three weeks they cycle new Invite Bonuses. So depending on how long the current tier has been up, we should be seeing a new/old set within a few days from now.

---

New rewards set commencing 20th May 2013.

Thank goodness they brought the old rewards back!
Now we can get them now with the invite bug fixed.

Finished unlocking the sticker songs. Probably gonna set my battle song to something more beatable tonight, and just farm sticker slices here and there

---

That's kind of what I've been doing for the past 3 weeks now

Anyway, I guess I could take this time to post about how they improved the tutorial and what not through pictures!



The above picture shows the modes that the game provides for the player, only two of them do you have to go through to complete the tutorial.





What is not shown here is that when it tells you to go to the 'Missions' tab, you swipe in the direction it tells you and the Missions tab is highlighted while everything else is blackened-out.



In-depth guide on How To Play. Also the first Mission you do had it's requirement changed from getting above '600,000 or above' to 'Just play the mission'.



Very interesting, instead of having to battle for the DYNAMITE RAVE sticker after completing the Tutorial, the tutorial gives the players the remaining four stickers, and the last sticker you get is from battling the Shadow Dancer. Also not shown here is that they've changed the battle song from CG Project to real-high-SPEED.

This was probably done seeing that the team were noticing that many people weren't getting it 'easy' from the beginning of the game, so they probably laxed much of the beginning to get them more interested to keep going, not a bad thing seeing that as you progress the jump to get the latter Stickers becomes increasingly thin from Beginner to Expert at times.
