THE iDOLM@STER 2 Gameplay Thread
Daverost:
No idea. I've only noticed it after you can't appeal anymore because it's kinda hard to keep a constant eye on the Voltage meter. I've seen it in auditions and festivals, but I'm not sure if it shows up in lives or quintet lives. It just pops up in the middle of the song at some point under some condition on the far left side of the Voltage meter.
EDIT: I took a picture. This one showed up in a festival.

Separate issue: I know I'm not doing anything wrong, but it feels like I am. I've done something like 20-25 Lives and can't trigger a Keep to save my life. I'm using a member's personal song (Haruka/GO MY WAY!!) and I'm using a set of matching accessories to boost lucky star gain. I know we already cleared it up, but I'm seriously starting to wonder if it shows up on the week I perform the Live or the week after, because this is ridiculous. But I'm trusting you guys that it happens on the week I perform the Live.
Also, I just saw that light in the Voltage bar in a Live, so I guess it shows up in any performance. I lost that one, though, and had to retry (the accessory set is killing my point gain), so I didn't see if it did anything.
Honestly, my assumption from the start has been that that thing indicates a sales effect, but I usually don't quality for whatever it is at the time I get one.
EDIT: Totally unrelated, but I'll need it for the next song: When you're doing Quintet Lives, what affects the intimacy of the available guests? It seems like the only ones above the lowest level are Ritsuko, Ryuugu Komachi, and the idols I used in my unit in the previous game.

Achieving a Keep is done by luck just like a Revival and a Break, I think. You have to keep resetting until you get it.
As for the starts in the voltage meter, they appear when you get a perfect appeal... not for any other ones
Daverost:
I'm still at it. I've been doing about 10 an hour, and I think I'm up to about 70 resets. Is this normal, even for Hyper? <.<

Nah, not those. This one is static (it doesn't go away and is always in the same place) and lasts even after the scoring part of the song is over. That screenshot I posted was from when I couldn't appeal anymore but before the song finished.
Still no Keep, but I discovered something about that darned light in question. It will never show up when you finish a song on a Burst. You have to finish with a normal appeal. Haven't tested a Memory Appeal. It also only shows up after the very last appeal, never before.
And of course, it has nothing to do with a sales status, because I still don't have a Keep. That does raise the question of just what it does/means, though.
EDIT: The final appeal can be a Memory Appeal. The Voltage gauge cannot be full. Best as I can tell, whether or not you have a perfect chain by the end of the song doesn't really matter.
This thing is... weird.
