CROSS×BEATS (iOS)

I've been playing the game for a while now but I haven't fully understood some of the concepts due to the language barrier.

I have a number of different currencies that I don't know how to use, notably Link Energy which comes up in the (empty) Share Song list (Do you need friends use this?) and SPT (I guess you purchase from the Exchange with this, not sure how I earnt it though).

Also, when unlocking songs how does the friend combo work? Mine is at 100% (no idea how to increase it).

My ID is 48349325

You gain Link Energy when your friends plays your shared song (10LE each time).
You get SPTs by helping your friends in unlock challenges, which will increase the friend combo for that unlock session
(you can't increase friend combo of your own unlock challenge by yourself.)

Both currencies can also be earned through events.

Link Energy is the currency that allows you to play your friend's shared songs. If you don't have any left, you can't play them.

SPT is used for buyings things in the exchange shop in the Unlock menu.

Friend combos is when your friends play your unlock challenges when they're open. Only them can increase it.

Thanks for the help. I have 2 more questions:

How do I share a song?
To help in the unlock challenge, do you have to catch the 20 minute window?

Yes you have to catch in the 20 minute window.

Also to share a song, go to your profile. Should have an option to bring up your songlist. Click the song you want and there should be an option to share.

EDIT BAWK

Cock tease festival starting in 9/21

That's quite vulgar!

Maybe it is, but that "devious" monthly event is not exactly a relaxing sweet moment brought by angels for sure. In fact, it doesn't even have that "random" factor the title seems so proud of.

You can clearly see on Lobi how people often talks about spending even thousands of tickets and gets nothing at all. Obviously, those in the top of rankings (about 1-100, everyone with more than 2100RP) gets about 80% of the songs involved on RSFs (with around 70-200 tries solely to the the current RSF, assuming they got the previous ones, which mean to spent no more than 1000-15000PT), meanwhile, those close to 2000RP or below it clearly have really low chances to get something.

As I said above, This event has more "elitism" than "randomness" as main factor. One could easily rename it "Elite Select Festival".

Anyway, let's see what happens in a few days, when the cb gathering starts.

Tele already knows that. He's actually one of the first people to talk about the elitism about this, and he's been here since the beginning of the game.

I really hope this will be enough tickets to get at least one or two new songs this RSF!

Hey that ticket count looks kind of familiar. xD

In other news I finally got Reseed Master unlocked. I would dig the song a lot more if I had a pad, but it is just soooo horrible on iPhone. Working slowly on getting 1500 RP

---

And I haven't added the current Sale Big yet. Still, I'll keep most of the current PT for RSF event on December (Anniversary again). Drop Rate was incredibly low last year, so it's possible Capcom do the same formula on the 2nd Anniversary.

no money to recharge ticket T_T

Anyhoo, anybody have the following songs?

- 現実幻覚スピードスター
- HEADPHONE PARTY
- SENGOKU BASARA
- THE VOICE OF HOUSE

I would like to try and get the Autumn theme while the event is still going on

---

I currently have HEADPHONE PARTY shared, so feel free to add me.

*sees premium ticket totals*
I just wish I had a tenth of what you guys have...

>Maintenance starts
>I just got Reuniverse to appear

YOU MOTHERFUCKERS

Man, you guys have spent some serious money on this game. (Whereas I haven't)

And won't ever have to again thanks to REV.

So after 182 attempts I finally get a yellow UC - Hisui!
The new Master chart is only a lvl 70 but it has an interesting difficult ending part to it

DISCLAIMER: This is a rant.

CAPCOM, why can't your prices be more reasonable? This has been pissing me off since the release of CROSS x BEATS! First off, we gotta pay to even play, and playing the game is limited to online only, mind you the file size of the app alone can get well over 600MB in size. Let us play offline, goddamnit!

These prices are too high (despite you making a huge profit from those with large reserves of cash to dish out) for Crossbits (Cb)! Your "great" offers/sets are not satisfactory for the costs involved for playing songs when you're out of Free Tickets.

Let's say I wanna buy more PREMIUM TICKETS (ya know, just to be able to fucking play songs), here's the pricing list:

15 PREMIUM TICKETS - 90Cb
30 PREMIUM TICKETS - 180Cb
60 PREMIUM TICKETS - 360Cb
150 PREMIUM TICKETS - 900Cb
225 PREMIUM TICKETS - 1350Cb
300 PREMIUM TICKETS - 1800Cb

Wanna buy Crossbits? ^^. Check the above photo.

120 Cb is the cheapest, and the cost is 120JPY, which is $1.00USD...and you'll get to play (on average) around 3 songs on 15 PREMIUM TICKETS. Is this an arcade machine? Sure as hell operates like one; if that's the case, CROSS BEATS REV. should have been released on mobile at the same time as the AC with ALL AC content....double the fucking profit why don'tcha!!

In addition to this shit, we gotta wait for things to load from the server; Capcom, if you're gonna milk us, at least give us lightning-fast resources for our mobile platforms (I'm running this bitch on iPad Air 2, and I'm still not liking the constant loading screens) to run the game more quickly and efficiently...the players ARE paying you enough, right? This topic alone got nearly 80 pages, so it is safe to assume that there are many many players out there playing this game all across Japan.


Buying the 5000JPY Cb pack is just crazy; sure you can get a whopping 825 PREMIUM TICKETS....but you've just spent over $40USD on a chance to play an average of 165 times, and for some "skin/theme" events, you'll find even 825 PREMIUM TICKETS not being enough to earn the skin/theme because the requirements are fucking exorbitant! If you really want that skin, you're gonna need to play songs you don't own, follow vague hints (or access the CxB wiki guide), collect points/ranks, etc;. this all makes for a frustrating experience...are we even playing this game for the thrill and fun? I feel that I'm playing the game struggling to keep up with unlocks (STUPID system!); I don't mind unlocking new songs and difficulties, but why do I need to charge that unlock challenge gauge AND at the same time, be limited to <20 minutes in attempts to unlock the bitch, NOT TO FUCKING MENTION if you haven't inexorably mastered the fucker, you'd be spending a lot of your precious PREMIUM TICKETS on this timed shit! Capcom, can't you just do away with this crazy unlock challenge system and let us have our attempts without a time limit, or at least extend the unlock challenge time limit to 24-hours! There is a difference between milking money and putting pumps in places that you predict will grow more utters, eg. Gameloft, their games are written in Milk++.

Your current "BIG SPECIAL PREMIUM TICKET SALE" that you've advertised with the utmost of glittering generalities doesn't appeal to me in the least. Paying 3900JPY ($32.40USD) for 750 PREMIUM TICKETS is simply better than paying 5000JPY ($40+USD)---save 1100JPY [$9+USD] and get 150 more PREMIUM TICKETS than you would buying them normally (1800Cb x 2 = 3600Cb = 600 PREMIUM TICKETS; 900Cb = 150 PREMIUM TICKETS).....advertised as 750 PREMIUM TICKETS to look good when in actuality, you're just saving 600JPY ($5USD), which is about 12 song plays from 60 PREMIUM TICKETS.

This "BIG" offer advertises "Usually get 100 PREMIUM TICKETS", yeah but that amount is irrelevant because the price and offer isn't the same, this is a limited time sale for Christ's sake.



Capcom should change their whole pricing scheme to this:

"ADD A ZERO, CALL IT A NIGHT" SCHEME:


150 PREMIUM TICKETS - 90Cb
300 PREMIUM TICKETS - 180Cb
600 PREMIUM TICKETS - 360Cb
1500 PREMIUM TICKETS - 900Cb
2250 PREMIUM TICKETS - 1350Cb
3000 PREMIUM TICKETS - 1800Cb

^: Your exorbitant prices are still intact, only difference is that your current customers will be even happier and you may notice more people actually buying from the shop since you've acquired a sense of reasonability; just don't fuck it up by tweaking other parts of the game in response to the increased amount to PREMIUM TICKETS, eg. increasing the ticket cost per song play like a bitch would.


I will not go into the Friends/spt/share songs/elitist events, etc. stuff because I don't have time to write a novel about how poorly executed your system implementations are for CROSS x BEATS (iOS). Lastly, this game's songlist is mediocre at best even after all this time from first launch up until now. I have more fun playing KONAMI's, NAMCO's, and TAITIO's mobile music games, not to mention, they also have a much better music selection and require no constant internet connection or dumb ticket system to interfere with my fun. I play your game when I feel that need to use my regenerating FREE TICKETS in order to work at micromanaging your fucking unlock system.

That is all, and sorry for my language, but I've truly had it with this bullshit!

You're complaining about the prices of micro-transactions in a mobile phone game.

The phrase "talking to a brick wall" comes to mind.
