Really sad that we're getting recolors in DL lives, thought the first one was gonna be an indication that they would be unique

Yukiho feels the same about the costume lol.

[Naryoril]

this is pure speculation, but my guess/hope is that the costume of the first DL live per catalog is unique and matches one of the songs from the catalog (in this case i want). Or maybe catalog 2 will take longer than a month and the next DL live will have a me ga au toki themed costume.

While this costume is not as overpowered as the one from the first DL live, i'm glad that i finally have a decent cute kirakira girl costume. There is an event with this combination and all i had so far was a C rank with basically no skills, one that is stats wise identical to the costume you get from the C rank DL live 2.

Actually stats-wise this costume is pretty nice for farming.
15% is a nice thing before you hit S rank with everyone. Add +10% from lalabit bunny ears (or some crappy glasses) and thats +25% fans from any source!
And this costume is more than enough to devastate S-ranked allstar live or medley, so thats +15% more from ex clear.
It looks awful crappy though=(

[Naryoril]

well, for fan farming i got another costume: the one S rank costume i got from gold presents has +30% fans. it isn't as good for scoring though (trio burst 3 is he only thing that helps for scoring), but i can still beat s rank medleys with it. I also used it for the live with 300k fans that came with the DL live 2, although the type doesn't match at all.

Do duplicate items ever stop dropping? Three possible options.

Duplicates stop dropping once a item is upgrade to the max.

Duplicates stop dropping once you cant fit anymore into the store(cap at 10?

Lastly duplicates drop no matter what.

Anyone know which?

After ungrading to max you still get duplicates.
Didn't pay attention to items, i currently have 10 pieces of, so can't say for sure, but I think you'll get dupes forever.

New DLC catalog has been announced! AND IT INCLUDES OVERMASTER!!! It doesn't include Beyond the Stars tho... I hope that what Naryoril said becomes actually true and next DL Live's costume matches Overmaster.

Oh yes! Catalog also includes Do-Dai and the actual DLC Catalog's song: "Our Resistance". I think it is new?? (I didn't hear about it till now). Also, the costume is also matching the song.
Trailer can be found here: https://youtu.be/VTyILNb7PGc

Now i'm wondering if i should splash more cash for the new song?

[Reikuo]

OFA had much larger catalogs, so did IM@S 2. 1 outfit per catalog? Hopefully that means the DL live outfits will have more unique outfits.

[Kimiko]

The new song is good but the costume. I don't know. It's not bad but it doesn't look that appealing to me, the acessoires don't look that great either.

Whoever is designing costumes for this game is obsessed with the ripped stocking on one leg look lol

Alright, so after getting another Gold present in a live I played and counting the number of logos, I'd say it is safe to assume that the number of notes that must have logos is ~45% of the total notes in a song. I had 95 appear out of 207 notes, which is the max chain for edeN on Pro difficulty. This is actually slightly less than 47%, but the two previous instances showed about 44%, so averaging it out would make it about 45%.

So Normal presents can be received(but are not always guaranteed)with anywhere from 1-5 total logos throughout a whole song, Silver presents are earned when ~33% of notes have logos, and according to the three times I was able to use as examples, ~45% of notes having logos gives a Gold present.

I am sort of in the process of testing which all difficulties that Gold presents can be received in, but not too seriously as it takes time even for me; if you know, then you know :p and I'm not sure if anyone only ever plays on Regular/Debut difficulty.

Anything to accentuate the leg is fine by me. :3
