Christmas choir quest.

[Koori_Roninheart]

I just wanted to point out there are two NPCs one of them gives 2 currency and the other 3. The one that gives 2 is -a lot- easier at least for me. I don't know if it would help with the lag issue but since they move slower maybe? I pointed that out to another player having issues in game so thought it might help others that didn't know. ~ K

I keep using the commands like how it says but every hit misses even when do it right when overlaps. Is this caused by extreme lag that's making all my hit miss. I'm on pc that has wired internet. If lag causes you miss they need to fix it.

There's two difficulty variants, I noticed (first year of doing this stuff for me, so this might be quite obvious to the intiated). The harder one was exactly that, and for people who have this stuff down. I think if you're not completely on point with it, it's a fail. The easier one is, obviously, easier, more forgiving, though still may take a few attempts to get the hang of. Don't stress about getting a top score, which is the only way to get the extra reward, I think. I managed an 8/9 on my best attempt and it wasn't any different to getting 2/9 in terms of the reward. It can be a little difficult to recover from failures - for me, that's because the sound distorts so wildly it's distracting, making it harder to get back on track, so maybe turn it off and just follow the visual if it's like that for you as well. Other things mentioned here about when to press for each colour are accurate. Good luck! (oh, and I'm afraid I don't remember the dialogue for the NPCs, but if you're looking out from the stage towards the crowd seating area, the easier NPC is the one on the left.)

Though, personally? I'd prefer an actual score for this. I'd rather sightread and cheese it in the traditional manner than follow random coloured square things.
EDIT: Just saw the post above mine says this too.

Two things:

You can still miss notes during the hard version - you get the same amount of failures allowed than during the easy one. Its actually the notes that get more difficult, aka there are more of them in the hardmode.

And second: There is no reward for getting the top score - except for the feeling that you got the top score. The game wont reward you for it, though - you get the same amount of tokens.

Thanks for the clarification! I hope everyone gets the shinies they're after.

Does this help?

The video includes both easy modes but the link goes to the current one. I hope it helps people to understand when to press, which I think might be the biggest problem? There are goods, greats and crits and a miss. Goods are fine. up to 8 misses are fine. greats and crits are just more satisfying to hear and only add to your score, which does nothing.
