Earning Stars

Post by monchauveau » Wed Sep 07, 2016 11:35 am

Hi

Could you please tell me what performance % you need to earn a star? I think it may vary depending on how many stars you have for each song.
Also how do you gauge the performance played for each song? Thank you :D

In order to earn stars, you need to play a song in "Performance Mode". It is the final segment of all songs purchased from the store. You can earn up to 3 stars per song. Score 80% or more to earn a star!

That´s what I thought. I´ve noticed that I will sometimes obtain higher than 80% in performance mode but not obtain a star :( What would be the reason for this?

For example I just played ¨Over the Rainbow¨ and got 89% but no star :cry: Last time it was 91% and still no star....

What level of Over the Rainbow are you playing? Rookie, Intermediate or Advanced?

Ok. That is good to know. It is only possible for you to gain 1 more star, for a final total of 3.

Let me explain...

So let's say you played the song and gained 1 star, then 2, then 1 again. You do not accumulate 4 total stars. The program only recognizes the highest value awarded. In this particular instance, after the first time you gain 1 star, then you gain another star with the second. After the third time, you do not gain anything because you already received 2 stars. The only opportunity to gain another star is when you hit 3.

Let me know if that makes sense!

Thank you for explaining but you haven´t really addressed my question.

I understand you only get three stars for a song.

My question is what % accuracy do you require to receive a star? I don´t see any consistency with how I receive stars between songs. I am always playing intermediate easy.
Also I don´t understand how you grade time points and performance points.

A few examples of songs I´ve played recently:
eg: Stay with Me (Intermediate easy) I received my first star with 63% accuracy. 13 time points, 168 performance points.
eg2: Corpse Bride (intermediate easy). I already have 2 stars. I then played and received 90% accuracy but I didn´t receive a 3rd star. 8 time points, 0 performance points
eg3: Girl Crush (intermediate easy). I have 2 stars already then played and received 83%. I didn´t receive a 3rd star. 13 time points and 0 performance points

I look forward to your reply
