Love Live! School idol festival (JP) Updates 2016

July 31, 2014:

Big Update:
 * Chapters 21-1 and 21-2 have been added to the main story.
 * New China dress themed cards have been added to premium recruitment.
 * There is a higher chance of obtaining these cards until August 5 (base SR/UR rate does not change).
 * The event SR Nozomi has also been added to premium recruitment (low chance to obtain).
 * Until August 5, doing a 10+1 draw (50 loveca stones) will guarantee you at least an SR or higher.
 * One new N card has also been added to regular recruitment.
 * Two types of Voucher recruitment have been added:
 * SR/UR recruitment - costs 5 vouchers, 80% chance to obtain an SR and 20% chance to obtain a UR
 * Skill Up Support Member recruitment - costs 1 voucher
 * URs (10% chance): Nico's Mother (Smile), Kotori's Mother (Pure), Maki's Mother (Cool), Honoka's Mother (All)
 * SRs (30% chance): Mika (Smile), Fumiko (Pure), Hideko (Cool), Yamada Hiroko (All)
 * Rs (60% chance): Yazawa Kokoa (Smile), Yazawa Kotarou (Pure), Yazawa Kokoro (Cool), Alpaca (All)
 * Vouchers are obtained in two ways:
 * Special bonus after drawing 10 cards from premium recruitment
 * Receive a free one every 20 ranks (retroactive, players will receive vouchers according to their rank within the next few days)
 * Skill Up Support Members can be used to raise the skill level of cards through regular lessons
 * The support card must be the same rarity and attribute as the target card (purple support members work for all attributes)
 * The support card's skill level can also be raised to increase the success rate; a support card with the same skill level as the target card will guarantee a skill level up
 * Warning: It is possible to feed a support card to a card that doesn't match rarity/attribute - the target card will only gain XP and its skill level will not increase
 * Ranking up is now twice as fast until rank 100
 * EXP requirements have been halved
 * Players under rank 100 who were more than halfway to the next rank will get their rank up after playing a song
 * Changes to premium recruitment contents
 * The bonus after drawing 10 times has been changed from 1 loveca stone to 1 voucher
 * Cards released before January 31, 2014 are no longer in the premium recruitment box; from now on it will only contain the most recent 6 months of cards
 * Older cards can still be obtained from the special recruitment boxes during events, as well as voucher recruitment

July 26, 2014:
 * Starting from July 31 at 3 PM JST, a new Voucher Recruitment box will be available
 * 1 Voucher - 1x UR Mother card, raises a card's skill level - 4 types total (Honoka/Maki/Nico/Kotori's mothers)
 * 5 Vouchers - 1x SR or UR (guaranteed SR or higher)
 * All players will obtain a voucher every 20 ranks (those already higher than rank 20 will receive a corresponding number of tickets in their present box)
 * Vouchers are also obtained every 10 premium draws (replacing or adding to the current +1 loveca bonus)
 * Required EXP to rank up will also be halved for all ranks up to 100, so that new players can unlock the stages more easily
 * EXPERT modes for the BD daily stages will be added in August
 * A new event type will begin in September
 * Starting from July 31 at 3 PM JST, the SRs and URs available in premium recruitment will change:
 * As more and more cards are added to the game, it becomes harder to obtain each card, so the premium recruitment box will be split into two to make it easier
 * Only cards added from January 31, 2014 and onward will be in Premium Recruitment (特待生勧誘)
 * Cards added before January 31, 2014 will still be available in Limited Recruitment (限定勧誘)
 * The oldest cards in Premium Recruitment will be moved to Limited Recruitment each month, so that Premium Recruitment only contains the most recent 6 months of cards
