Rising To The Stars (Rising Star Progress)

It has been quite a peaceful day today and quite a sleepy kind of day at that. I just stayed in bed most of the time and the only time that I went outside was when I went to the polls and voted for the national elections. Originally, I planned to go there when it was near the closing time so there won't be any lines but my uncle called upon me during lunchtime and asked me to go with him. And I did.

We just took a quick ride to the school where the voting is held and it's just near our house too. Nostalgia hits me as soon as I entered the gate and it's no surprise that my uncle shared the same sentiments. We were both products of the school. Although the school grounds have already changed, the feeling and the overall vibe were the same. He even took several pictures just for memories' sake.

I guess that everyone decided to vote early to avoid the lines and the hot weather so when we got there, there were just a few people lined up. In my designated room, I was in front of the queue as soon as I confirmed that it was the right venue. And it wasn't even five minutes yet and I was already called to be given my ballot. I signed up next to my profile and it was just a funny-looking picture of me since I was just a skinny boy on that profile. I signed next to it and got my ballot. I shaded my choices and I was out of there in under 5 minutes.

We went back home as fast as we could and I got back to bed again. I opened up my RisingStar game profile and I realized that my progress seemed to have slowed down.

Last week, I think it was a Sunday then, when I opened up my third pack of cards. I thought that it would boost my progress significantly. Prior to that, I was able to collect 10k Starbits within 10 days or so. I thought that farming for Starbits after opening my third pack will be faster.

The pack that I opened advanced my stats to some degree so I was hopeful that I would earn Starbits a bit faster than before. I was even able to open the next zone of the game which is called "Local Gig Circuit". And of course, I'm excited about that.

That being said, I am only able to play the first mission on that zone and that's only when I'm lucky enough to attract some drunk fans.

As you can see, the number of fans required for the first mission is 400 and my fans are just a bit shy away from that number. It is reflected above that I have 399 fans, just a single person away from the required number but the real count of my permanent fans is much lower Currently, it stands at 380.

Just a bit more and I can then consistently participate in this mission. It's better than illegal busking because the Starbits earned from this is higher compared to Illegal Busking even though they have the same energy cost.

So anyway, although I have advanced my stats and all that, it seemed that the collection of Starbits after opening my third pack became slower than before. Back then, I was able to collect at least 10k Starbits in 10 days, that's like 1K Starbits a day on average. But now, after the third pack, I'm already a day away from the 10-day mark and I'm just at 7k Starbits collected.

Of course, it may have been because I wasn't lucky enough these past few days that I wasn't getting enough pizza from the game so my energy is always depleted. Back then, I would always wake up with 100% energy so I could carry out several missions a day. But now, there are mornings that I would wake up and my energy is at a mere 70-80 percent only. That's not enough energy to squeeze in a lot of missions a day.

And it may also be because of my ever-growing ego. I had to balance the level of my ego so I had to take some extra music lessons to somehow try to keep my ego at a minimum but the lessons take so much energy and you can't earn Starbits from doing them.

Conclusion

To look at it objectively, it's not that my progress became slower, it's just that the game became bigger for me and I was now trying to do a lot of things now than before. The focus now became balancing the game instead of just trying to earn Starbits as fast as I can, it's just to advance into the game as evenly as possible.

And it's still a fun game nonetheless, although I said that I am doing a whole lot of things in it than before, it still isn't really that time consuming, unlike other games. So yeah, that's what my progress in the game this past week looked like.
