Welcoming an Upgraded Bandori.Party!

--Due 28 February, 2018

Hi everyone, long time no see! Today we are unveiling the most anticipated features for the site, Collectibles! What are collectibles? Simply put, these are the things you can store on your account right here on Bandori.Party! Options for collectibles in this update are Cards, Events, and Songs!

If you are familiar with the other sites apart of the Circles family, the only new feature for you would be Songs, where you can now collect your high-scores and share your plays! If you are new to how our site works, here's a run-down on some very popular features. Cards are collectible, so you can store all the cards on your GBP account associated with that profile! You can even catalog if a card have been trained or not, it's skill level, and which episodes you've unlocked! You can even use your favorite owned card as a profile image for that account. It's pretty sweet! Besides Cards, there are Events. Events store your high-score, ending rank, and depending on the Event Type, some other info!

Now that we've gone over the basics of what is in this Collectible update, let's go over other fixes and helpful additions to our community!

Search Filter Upgrades

• You can now search by server availability! (Applies to Event, Gacha, Cards, and Songs)
• We've compacted how skills are stored, so there is only 1 search filter for skills!
• View Promo Cards!
• Filter out any cards that aren't trainable with Rarity.
• Visualize the cards in different way by looking at transparents, icons, chibis, and art!
• Visualize cards by Statistics. Helpful for creating teams! You can also choose a specific stat, overall, or if the card is untrained or not!
• Search Limited Gacha!
• Search by Event Type -- Normal, Challenge, Band Battle, and Trial.
• Search by Japanese Skill & Card Names
• Press enter to confirm filters~
• Search by "Origin" (Gacha, Event, Promo)
• A more detailed list from Github

Database Upgrades

Skills received an overhaul in how they are displayed and stored. Now you can search by just the main skill (Score, Lock, and Heal) and view the card to see what other bonuses the skill has if any! These are more accurate than the old system using main and side skills and should reduce confusion on card functionality.

Events now have specific parameters. For example, Challenge, Versus & Normal Events have space to record your Song Score & Rank (Challenge only has space for 1 currently, so pick your best score from the 3 songs here for now). Live Trial events have a place to record your completion of the Trial tasks (normal & EX)! You can still add an event to your account despite not knowing your final rank & score-- just leave it blank!

Multi-Server Functionality includes the ability to store accounts on any of the functioning GBP servers, as well as searching all collectibles within that server's availability. We even store that server's gacha & event banners within the event's page now, so that's cool as well!

Among our Miscellaneous Site Improvements are some great bug fixes, such as removing an error where it would state "x days ago" on events in the future. We also re-hauled to the way our wiki is set up, separating Site Help under the Three Dot Icon, and our GBP-Centered Wiki under the Girls Band Party tab! Which, if you didn't notice, we upgraded the tabs for the site! Currently, the actual GBP-Centered Wiki is still a work-in-progress, but we'll update again when it's closer to completion, but we do have a new side-bar set up.

Cards are now set to sort by release date on default. Remember to set your server preference to see what's available! There's also faster loading thanks to cache pages, compacting of listed images when available (for example, card previews),

Additionally, we've pushed an update for profile info. You can attach a verification screenshot to a specific account, store your friend code, assign that profile a server and what you play the game with (yes, even sausages). There's a detailed and simple form for profile creation now depending on how you feel. You can specify the default tab on each account AND profile! You can nickname your accounts for ease of cataloging, and each account will show up on the leader board with a signifier of the server it's on.

Also there's a cool, hidden feature if you decide to use our site in Japanese or Korean, you'll see a new special logo created for the site just for you! The front page also comments on our donators with cute adjectives to make you feel special. And finally, we've updated our contact forms for better feedback.

With all this new stuff to look forward to, we hope you'll continue using our site and become an active member of our community! Thank you all for your patience and support for almost the entire year, and be on the look out for some cool swag we're giving away to celebrate!

BANDORI.PARTY PRESENTS: DESIGN OUR MANAGER!

Have you noticed in the world of Bandori, there's all sorts of managers? We have the old lady in SPACE, our fearless leader Marina at CiRCLE... But we don't have one for Bandori.Party!

We don't have many guidelines, because we want to see what you come up with! All we ask is you design a live-house manager with Bandori.Party in mind! If you don't think you're the best artist, we will take your design idea and one of our staff artists will redraw your vision! You don't have to do a fully rendered art piece to win!

WINNER ANNOUNCED HERE!

FAQ

Why a Manager?

In the BanG Dream! Universe, its focused on girl bands operating in girl-band specialised live houses. As a database and "hub" for the game, we think having a manager mascot would be an obvious choice. Even though it seems like there aren't many men in this universe, we aren't closing that option for the contest. So just submit what you think will be the best fit for a Bandori.Party manager!

Okay, so, What's a Bandori.Party Live House?

Not being literal here, it's just the theme for this contest. We're pretending that the site is like a live-house, due to the parallels in the networking/hub like atmosphere, and asking for a 'manager'.

What do you mean by a 'rendered image'?

This would mean you provided a full body image, fully colored/shaded and in high resolution. However, we realise not all great ideas come from people who can fully render their idea.

So, what should I include if I submit just a design?

You can be as detailed or not as you would like, however keep in mind overall design will be judged. So we'd like to see a hairstyle, hair/eye color, the outfit, any accessories they might have, and a color palette.

What Happens to my design if it wins?

This is covered in the Terms & Conditions you accept when you submit your design/image. Please read it on the submission form.

Anything else?

Please take all the liberties you want, but keep in mind that the character is a manager of the Bandori.Party live house, and should reflect that. You can name them for an added touch if you'd like. If you have anymore questions, we would be happy to answer them below in the comments!

-=- ENTRY FORM -=- DISCORD -=- MORE DETAILS + RANKINGS -=-

In conjunction with our launch giveaway, the staff team is pleased to announce our first community event - Bandori.Party Battle of the Bands! We apologize for the various delays we've had, they were caused by unexpected errors in our planning as well as the majority of our staff team being busy for a short while, and would like to thank the users who have had so much patience with us!

And now that we've finished the introduction, let us begin introducing the event~!

General Outline

The purpose of this event is to rack up points for a band of your choice by participating in moderated live rooms! After event sign-ups are over, we will announce which band you will be representing - please keep in mind that you may not get your first choice band, but we will do our best to accommodate everyone into either their first or second choices. In each live room, we will have at least one moderator (who will be representing a band as well), as well as one player from every other band. These players and moderator will then play a song (which will be 'voted' on by players, provided that they fit with the 'theme'), and will be judged based on performance, and will receive points based on their performance. Each live room will have a specific "theme" that will be rotated throughout the duration of our sessions - a specific list can be found below.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The majority of our communication will be done through Discord - be sure to have an account, and have joined our Discord group!

Specifics - Scoring System

The scoring system is based off a “Perfect Million” scoring system, where each player will be scored out of one million points based on their performance. More details and formula are available here. Players will also receive bonuses to their score based on their chosen difficulty, as indicated below:

• Easy → no bonus
• Normal → +20 000 to total score (2% of total possible score)
• Hard → +50 000 to total score (5% of total possible score)
• Expert → +90 000 to total score (9% of total possible score)

After each player has been scored, and difficulty bonuses applied, players will then be ranked against each other based on their total score, to receive points for their band. The number of points each player will receive are broken down as such:

• 1st Place → 10 pts.
• 2nd Place → 8 pts.
• 3rd Place → 7 pts.
• 4th Place → 6 pts.
• 5th Place → 5 pts.

Furthermore, there are additional bonuses/penalties! For those overachievers out there, there's a bonus for full comboing a song - 1 point on Easy or Normal, and 2 points on Hard or Expert! Also, should a player be exhausted (this will be determined by your number of Bads/Misses at the end of the song - healers will not help!) by the end of the song, there is a deduction of 3 points (not score!) to the number of earned points for that run. Please keep the above points in mind while selecting your difficulty for songs - be sure to play at the appropriate difficulty~

Specifics - Song Rotation

As explained above, the songs that are available to be played in rooms will be based on a specific 'theme'. There is a list of these available themes, which will be randomly picked before a room is hosted.

1. Poppin' Party! {Original Songs}
2. Roselia {Original Songs}
3. Pastel * Palettes {Original Songs}
4. Afterglow {Original Songs}
5. Hello Happy World! {Original Songs}
6. Poppin' Party! {Cover Songs}
7. Roselia {Cover Songs}
8. Pastel * Palettes {Cover Songs}
9. Afterglow {Cover Songs}
10. Hello Happy World! {Cover Songs}
11. Any Song!

These will be selected via a random number generator - however, moderators may repick a theme based on their own judgement, should they feel a certain theme is selected too often, or a certain theme is not being used often enough.

Specifics - Conduct During the Event

Of course, there's all the stuff about being nice to one another, having good sportsmanship, and other such things that needs to be mentioned in this section... But this section is not only for these matters, but also things that help make our lives easier!

1. Changing Your Nickname in the Discord Server - After the event begins, please include your Bandori username in your Discord nickname, if it isn't the same/already in there. You do not have to delete your existing username - for example, simply attach your Bandori username at the end of your username, like this: < Username > [ Bandori Username ].

2. Setting your In-Game tag to Support your Band - Be sure to show support for your band by setting your in-game 'tag' to support your band! This also helps with keep track of who's part of what team during lives, helping us organize players, thanks for doing this in advance~

3. Setting your Discord Status - If you are not available for play at any time during the sessions, for one reason or another, but don't want to be disconnected from Discord/the chat, be sure to set your status to Idle/Do Not Disturb! We will not select you to participate in a live should your status be set to Idle/Do Not Disturb. Being available when you're selected really helps with running the event smoothly, so this is an important note! Additionally, the reverse also applies - if you want to be selected, be sure to set your status to Online!

4. Setting a Team Leader - Please do NOT use a Perfect Lock leader for your teams! Because players will be judged based off their performance instead of their score, Perfect Lock skills will severely affect results. Yes, we get that you want to support your band by showing off the best copy of the card you have. However, we sincerely ask all users to refrain from using a Perfect Lock leader, thank you~

If you don't know how to perform any of the above things, simply comment below or contact us, and we will do our best to provide assistance!

Specifics - Exhaustion

Many users have been confused about our rules about Exhaustion during a live, as we cannot accurately measure whether or not somebody fails. Therefore, we have enacted a new system that will allow for more flexibility and accuracy when declaring whether somebody is "exhausted" or not.

Details

• At the end of the live, each player's Bads and Misses are tallied up, then added together to form a "penalty score".
• For the purposes of the penalty score, each Bad will count as half a point, and each Miss will count as one point.
• A player will be declared "Exhausted" if this penalty score exceeds a certain threshold.
• This threshold will be determined by 2% of the total notes in the song, always rounded up to the nearest half number.
• Even if a player is not actually exhausted at the end of a live, if their penalty score exceeds the threshold for that song, they will be declared "exhausted".
• Conversely, even if a player gets exhausted in-game, as long as their penalty score does not exceed the threshold, they will not be declared "exhausted" for the purposes of the event.
• Unlike the scoring system, this mechanic has not been tested by our moderators or staff team. This system may be changed during the event (especially regarding the % of notes that makes up the threshold value) should it be deemed 'inappropriate'.

Tentative Schedule

Bandori.Party Battle of the Bands will be held over a period of two "meta" periods (where events are not taking place). Here is a schedule for this next "meta" period (05.19 - 05.21). Once again, you do NOT need to participate in every session~!

These sessions will take place at the following times, provided that there are enough members from each band to do so. You may not join a room with a moderator from your own team - keep this in mind! (Moderators' teams are provided in brackets)

Miscellaneous Rules + FAQ

Any further questions about the event that wasn't answered in this post, or any of the related documents? Feel free to PM us or comment your question below, and we'll answer it to the best of our ability!

Furthermore, should any additional rules need to be added (for the sake of organization, balancing, and whatnot), they will be posted in this section, so stay tuned!

Rules about Exhaustion - Read in Section "Specifics - Exhaustion"

Summary: If you miss a certain number of notes (2% of the total notes in the song), you will be declared "exhausted", regardless of whether you actually failed or not. Conversely, even if you are actually exhausted, as long as your misses don't exceed this number, you will not be declared "exhausted" for the sake of this event. In regards to this rule, two Bads will count as a Miss.

1. What is Garupa?

Garupa is the shortened form of BanG Dream!, taking the "Girls' Band Party" part of the name.

2. Does my centre have to be a member of my assigned band? Do all members have to be from my assigned band?

No, your centre/team can be made up of any member you wish. At the same time, there's nothing against it, so if you want to show off a shiny 4* from your favorite band, go for it! However, like stated above, no Perfect Lock leaders please!

3. Speaking of Perfect Lock leaders, can I use them anywhere else on my team?

Yes! Since their skills will NOT be activating during live shows, it is fine to have Perfect Lock characters on your team, provided they are not your leader.

We look forward to seeing everyone at the event~!
