Can it not be set in the settings, or I'm missing anything.

You miss nothing, the default size when the app is launched is the small size, in order to play multiple girls at the same time.

@moriartyk66
The EX card of this event is the first one. As @celine says in her post, the EX cards are not for sale in the store, nor with a Joker. The only way to get it is to collect the event tickets (by the games, or by purchase some credits).

This is so wholesome! Welcome friend!

@dar2112vThe cover looks more luxurious.But the content is nothing special……

That's the point. The only difference is the price.

Maybe its too late now, you might have already used it up. Also everyone has different taste.
What I liked the most is Ariana Van X.

Then You can go for Paola Hard, Elle Mira, Tatiana Coco, Belka.. if you have more joker cards in future

@dar2112v

Is it not possible to play the cards in Full size always. So once the app is launced first time or restarted then it will retain the full size instead of us to enlarge it. Can it not be set in the settings, or I'm missing anything.

EX card is wayyyyyy too expensive and the games make the pay wall even higher (kept losing in thrill spin)

Too much frustration😟

Is this the first time an ex card has appeared?I haven’t seen this type of card before, and the store doesn’t even display it.

To me it's just more of the same and nothing new.

It is the newest variation of the abundant and growing collection of exclusive cards. I haven't looked at the details but this one seems more difficult to acquire (and presumably more expensive) and nullifies the jokers which of course are pointless in any case.

No clue about whether it is or will ever be in the store. Maybe it's too exclusive to be there?

Is this the first time an ex card has appeared?I haven’t seen this type of card before, and the store doesn’t even display it.

There is also no way for me to make extra tickets when I already own all the cards. There is no way for me to buy 500 cards in two weeks, when there aren't any more for me to buy. Also I can't seem to be able to use may Joker card to get Shelena.

yep, you got penalised for having a full collection. you will have to wait for the event to be over to get Shelena's SEC and to get the stupid EX card you will need to blow all your money to buy credits to get the tickets needed.

FUN right!?

would be hilarious if this unobtainable card counts towards the total, thus gating elite behind a smaller minority, the 1% of the 1% 👎

this years black friday event is a ridiculous credit burner, made by those who shake hands with fists full of green.
i highly doubt any of them use the product they push or even QA the events properly.

(id be thrilled to never see thrill spin ever again... its not thrilling when its an obvious rig)

I just got a PM from my British friend wrightsayswow and he told me of this fine moderator's passing. Of course, I extend my condolences to his family.

The girl will have to be really worth it, because I ***** games and don't enjoy playing them.

For my part I don't ***** free games, I ***** random reward games with my Money.
I'm not in a casino, am I?

I'm not a billionaire that can waist large amount of money on games, plus that progress bar is always more expensive to fill up, while, which is for my part the worst, still not showing how much money to invest to fill it up.

I completely know that my personal 2 cents don’t really matter, but honestly, I’m getting more and more disillusioned like everyone here. First the whole NFT stuff, and now this ... I mean, the last years I always got the SEC during Black Friday only by loading up my credits accordingly (mostly 2 times for the 1000 credits) and additionally buying the advent calendar, but this year, oh boy. Even when doing this I can’t get to the first tier. My problem is that now spent credits don’t count anymore and instead the so-called “Quest-system” was implemented, which honestly sucks as hell for the rest (and no, loading up your credits won’t work infinitely like others said). Seriously, it’s so obvious that all mechanics were just toned up to make everything harder for your FOMO. But alright, as a personal choice I’ll definitely spend less now in the future, and only buy stuff that I like in heavy discount situations (the steep general price increase for old cards is another issue). Anyway, I just ***** when I’m feeling manipulated, and actually I’m only staying onboard because I love this app and the girls so much. But alright, I‘ll get by while just missing some FOMO stuff (after all I have other more important hobbies as well).

I have no problem with totem taking steps to increase production in order to provide a diversity of card options. They have every right to create an exclusive group of people who pay thousands a year to own every card. My main issue is and has been if the actual Istripper product ***** or becomes price prohibitive. The only complaint beyond the product getting more expensive is if we see more situations like the recent Carla Vyxx. She is arguably the hottest and most talented girl to come out in the last 6 months. She shot 6 cards:
1. SEC
2. 36 credit Costume Card
3. 30 Credit Istripper Card
4. 36 Credit Costume Card
5. SEC, EX or 36 Costume Card for Christmas
6. NFT

Keep in mind Carla only had 4 cards available from her first shooting because of SEC and NFT. So of the 6 cards they shot in the 2nd round only one of them is a normal price card, 2 are 40% more expensive than we would have paid for a normal card back on September 1st, and three are locked behind paywalls. In comparison, a girl like Argus who is new, seems great, but has 6 normal istripper cards. So is Istripper as a product just going to become new, inexperienced girls, with a starlet sprinkled in at normal price every once in a while?

The only thing to do for me, my needs and my monetary means. Only buy regular cards. Take advantage of the credits given during promotions to buy 20% credits, for example. And get the SEC for free only when you buy all the cards in a month. For example, this year, the Melena Maria Rya card with the purchase of the Advent calendar.

In my case, I avoid all games and the others SEC, and now EX cards. Last year and the year before I played the game 1 time, because the progress bar was half full with the purchase of the advent calendar. I'll see what I decide this year. The girl will have to be really worth it, because I ***** games and don't enjoy playing them. Otherwise, I'll pass. NFTs are non-existent for me. I ***** anything to do with cryptocurrency.

As for the rest, I enjoy the release of the pretty woman (regular card) every day, and that's more than enough for me. It's my little pleasure of the day. 😊

For the others let them do what they want and so much the better for Totem, if they want to contribute to enrich them. But I don't like this way of doing things to make money.


La seule chose à faire pour moi, mes besoins et mes moyens monétaires. N'acheter que les cartes régulières. Profiter des crédits donnés lors des promotions d'achat de crédits à 20% par exemple. Et obtenir la SEC gratuitement seulement à l'achat de toutes les cartes d'un mois. Par exemple cette *****ée, celle de Melena Maria Rya avec l'achat du calendrier de l'avent.

Dans mon cas j'évite tout ce qui est jeux, et l'obtention de SEC et maintenant carte EX, à partir de ceux-ci. L'an passé et l'autre *****ée auparavant j'ai participé au jeu 1 fois, car la barre de progression était rempli de moitié avec l'achat du calendrier de l'avent. Je vais voir ce que je vais décider cette *****ée. Il va falloir que la fille en vaille vraiment la peine, car je déteste les jeux, et n'éprouve aucun plaisir à y jouer. Sinon je vais passer mon tour. Les NFT sont inexistantes pour moi. Je déteste tout ce qui est en lien à la cryptomonnaie.

Pour le reste je profite de la sortie de la jolie femme (carte régulière) à tous les jours, et cela me suffit amplement. C'est mon petit plaisir de la journée. 😊

Pour les autres qu'ils fassent ce qu'ils veulent et tant mieux pour Totem, s'ils veulent contribuer à les enrichir. Mais je n'aime pas cette façon d'agir pour faire de l'argent.

As person that likes to collect these cards, this is a kick on the balls, ex cards? seriously guys? can at least gives us a reasonable explanation why are you pushin all this bs on us? I will never get into that nft crap nor these ex cards you guys are becoming extremely greedy. If you're struggling with finances just close the business down but don't try to rip people off out of this nonsense. Man i wish there would be competition.

file a ticket and send them the picture. The picture is enough proof.

Actually, Celine asked that Members to NOT double up their support efforts.
So a Post here is all that is needed.

If there wasn't so many whale falling into obvious trap like thoose games for EXclusive cards...
There isn't any good games implying great amounts of money waisted to be fun.
IStripper is a virtual strip club not some kind of game.
Why waisting money when all I want is pay to see!!!
At reasonable prices of course...

Essentially the FOMO (***** of missing out) marketing is just to create artificial sense of crisis in order to capitalize on users who are vulnerable to it.

Let me be frank, I ***** being exploited. I buy cards solely because I like them. Nobody wants to be ***** into a psychological game of FOMO especially when the prices are so much more inflated comparing to the former SECs.

EXs, SECs, NFTs are for my part to expensive to obtain (adding the increase in pricing on cards), and I will not pursue anymore.
I 'm here for Fun and Relief.
Not for peoples exploiting FOMO.

Quelle superbe créature ! J'adore 😍😍😍

💖You definitely have this charming, erotic and trustworthy charisma that can captivate people. Your face alone gives a person the feeling that they feel safe, protected and enchanted with you. I see great potential for your future and I'm already waiting Excitement for your first and your other upcoming cards. XO Christian.😘🔥💖

I have to start of by saying that this post is not an attack.
I absolutely love Team Totem. I love the software.

After the disclaimer, my 2c:

• I am ok with SECs
• I am ok with NFTs,

but

• I think the new membership level at 3000+ (which means a lot of money spent on this software) should be rewarded getting to the same card price triple diamonds used to have until 2023, nothing less,
• I am very unhappy about the concept itself of EX cards.

It is great to have the favorite photo size back!

Thanks a lot to comtedracula and goodwolf. You made a lot of movement on this issue. Hopefully, it will help us all soon.

What I think is a shame is that people aren't learning.

Just look at the number of people who will flock to these games, which always have bugs along the way, with their share of frustrations.

Proud to have spent unnecessary credits on their exclusive EX card, or to have spent large sums of money to obtain the credits needed to obtain the tickets. (EX and SEC).

We'll never see the last of these projects and cards.

Discouraging.

I won't add anything more, as everything has already been said.

After the SECs, the NFTs, history repeats itself with the EX Cards, until the next project.


Ce que je trouve dommage dans cette histoire, c'est que les gens n'apprennent pas.

Regardez bien le nombre de gens qui vont se ruer pour participer à ces jeux, qui ont toujours des bogues en passant, avec son lot de frustrations.

Tout fier d'avoir dépensé inutilement des crédits pour leur carte EX exclusive, ou d'avoir dépenser de grosses sommes d'argent pour se procurer les crédits nécessaire à l'obtention des tickets, pour les obtenir. (EX et SEC).

On n'a pas finit de voir apparaître ce genre de projets et cartes.

Décourageant.

Je n'en rajouterais pas, puisque tout a été dit.

Après les SEC, les NFT, l'histoire se répète avec les Cartes EX, et ce, jusqu'au prochain projet.

well this is total bullshit! totem you are getting too greedy! while i enjoy the scratch cards and the advent calendar, this totally *****! i know this is a business and you need to make money but if you continue with this nonsense the only exs you will have are exmembers!!

Black Friday Event Issues:

Since it is the Weekend,
any delayed Event Ticket rewards will be solved on Monday when the Team returns to work.

Circle of life?
NEVER!!!
My plan is to live forever... and so far the plan is working out perfect...

I don't need to add anything to this..

For what it's worth, as a mid-sized collector, I simply can't justify participating in this Black Friday. Previous Black Fridays actually lived up to the concept and were more generous than most events - everything was achievable with one 1320 credit top up, and one would get a large number of cards along the way (with a few hundred credits left over dependent on luck). I had fun participating in them, and intended to do so again.

Compare that with this, where a 3600 credit crypto top up is seemingly required at a bare minimum, and god only knows how much of that would be consumed in getting another 900 event tickets. Of course I could just buy even more credits, but I'm not that kind of user.

Even if people like me do sit this one out, I imagine this will be the most profitable Black Friday yet for Totem. And I'll still be buying credits in the future, because I love this product. It's all just a bit disappointing.

not only is this a dumb money grab, it actively penalizes complete collection owners. if you own the full collection the only thjing you can play for is credits, gift cards, and joker cards. these can't be used for these new EX cards.... and the "event" tickets are useless to someone who owns a full collection. this is completely stupid.

You can all pencil me in as a full collection owner who will no longer be persuing a full collection. As ComteDracular stated above they made the Joker an Immediately regretted it and are now back pedaling when their first FOMO failed.

The NFT's seem to be working for Totem but they are now trying to ***** a new type of NFT on users who don't want anything to do with them.

iStripper is no longer for fans of stripteases... it's for NFT bros and gambling *****.

Once my 3 Jokers and 1921.10 credits run out I'll continue to enjoy my collection and leave it there.

Made a credit purchase earlier today for the 3,000 + 600 credit package using Dolz. Got the credits but not the 1,100 event tickets that was supposed to come with it.

Edit: Event Tickets Not Awarded

Also, if you Look, there is a BIG arrow in front of each row.
and you Play Each ROW, one at a time, by clicking on that BIG arrow..
That should make it evident that the Wins are by each Row independent of the other rows.

Not sure if it should go here or in another thread, but I was playing the pleasure chest game, and got three tails which should be a 25 credit win. No notification happened, and it didn't appear in my account history

les cartes EX vont être plus fréquente qu'une par *****ée.

Humm, je crois bien que pourriez avoir raison sur ce fait 😄😳
Hmmm, I think you might be right about that 😄😳

I have had a detailed look through all of the instructions and I don't think there's much point in my taking part in this event.If I understand correctly, to get the "X" card I will need 3000 event tickets.I played a few rounds on the pleasure chest and collected the Bonus quests and I'm at 240 tickets. If I play everything that's left I reckon I can get to about 2500 - that would mean playing 50 Wheels of Thrill Spin at a possible cost of 2500 credits with an unknown amount coming back in winnings, betting 5000 credits on the Slots - with no cards available to buy at a discount. So... unless I've missed the point somewhere, getting the X is almost impossible for me.@Totem - please advise, I'm sure plenty of people with a nearly full collection are in a similar position.

I do not even bother with the secs anymore and I will more than likely stop buying cards from this company some time soon. raiseing prices, gambling & NFT It is almost like they want every doller I have while claimeing to be a small company.

Except that, if the SEC releases are anything to go by, EX cards are going to be more frequent than one a year.

Knowing Totem, they're going to make the most of it.

For me, these EX cards will go the same way as SEC and NFT.


Sauf que si je me fie aux sorties des SEC, les cartes EX vont être plus fréquente qu'une par *****ée.

Connaissant Totem, ils vont exploiter le filon au maximum.

Ces cartes EX pour moi vont prendre le même chemin que les SEC et les NFT.

I don't bet on games and I don't play games of chance. I tried once and started to lose.I am sticking with the usual cards. I have been following the comments of those who played for a long time and they are not good. A few win, most lose.
I also do not agree with the appearance of dozens of types of cards.
But, who I am to write? I'm not rich.
These practices are for rich people like at Las Vegas and so on....
I would ask Totem to stop doing things like this, to respect the little requests of the buyers.
Totem must understand that it is not difficult only for him in these times. It's also for us.
Now that all the cards have become more expensive, I buy less. It means less money for Totem.
Honestly, I'm sorry that people like me, who are not rich, have to *****.

It wil be a great idea to exist all the cards of 30 minutes at default prices and the same cards to be 45/55 minutes for the Ex, SEC, NFT categories.

@Dfner If you apply this strategy every time there's an Ex-Card, you'll end up with credits for the rest of your life.You're going to have to plan on living to a ripe old age. And you never know what's around the corner.... In any case, it's sure to be good business for Totem.

That is of course true :) Repeating this annually with similar expenses wouldn't be realistic. But right now if you believe that your interest in the software and the product will remain a couple of years, in that case one could say that you don't lose anything. You will have enough credits for next 2-3 years depending on how much you purchase cards. And the "prize" for this preparing for future purchases is one Ex, one Joker and one SEC.

If there will be new Ex-card on next Black Friday or on some other occasion, then that is of course time for another decision - and likely pass if the expense is the same and you still have plenty of credits unused.


C'est bien sûr vrai :) Répéter cela chaque *****ée avec des dépenses similaires ne serait pas réaliste. Mais maintenant si vous pensez que votre intérêt pour le logiciel et le produit perdurera pendant quelques *****ées, dans ce cas on pourrait dire que vous ne perdez rien. Vous disposerez de suffisamment de crédits pour les 2-3 prochaines *****ées en fonction du montant de vos achats de cartes. Et le « prix » pour cette préparation aux futurs achats est un Ex, un Joker et un SEC.

S'il y a une nouvelle Ex-card le prochain Black Friday ou à une autre occasion, alors il est bien sûr temps de prendre une autre décision - et elle sera probablement adoptée si la dépense est la même et que vous avez encore beaucoup de crédits inutilisés.


@lukaszr

You could go little bit further and buy 3000 credits using DOLZ. I know, it require little bit more effort, but if you stepped into this DOLZ/NFT BS anyway, and if you're really thinking of stocking some more credits and collect the tickets, purchasing credits with DOLZ seemes to be much better option.

That is true. Personally I don't use cryptos at all in anything, so in my case I didn't consider this option.

To Build an Actual Spinner of the Above Win / Loss ratio and the Possible Prizes
you would need a Spinner with about 300 Spots on it...
Where there are 9 times as Many Loss spots as there are Win Spots,
5 Times as Many Card Wins, as there are 50cr or 100 cr wins
and 4 times as Many 10cr spots as there are 100cr spots.

So the Wheel would be Huge....

By using Look up tables with the results picked at Random,
you can Simplify the Wheel Display, to Just Show 1 each of the Possible Results
and then program some animation of the wheel rotating and stop it on the result of the Random Selection.

This is how Slot machines are done, each Reel of the Machine Has 1 copy of the possible results on it.
The Play is done using lookup tables, and then The results are displayed using some nice animated eye candy and sounds.

EDIT:
I don't know what the Real Odds are
I'm just giving an Example to explain how it is programmed.

But yes I agree, that a display of the odds of Winning would be a nice addition.

@Calgon

You can get the Ex-card if you buy enough credits. No need to play any games if you don't want to.

At the moment you can buy 1320 credits for 99,95 $/€ and each such purchase gives you 374 tickets.
You can also buy 600 credits for 49,95 $/€ and each such purchase gives you 155 tickets.

With your 240 tickets already, if you buy 5 x 1320 credits, you have way over 2000 tickets (and 6,600 new credits...)

If you know that you are going to be around here at least a few more years buying most of the new releases, you might want to stock pile your credits while the 20% offer is available. You will save money in the long run and you get the Ex-card as bonus on top of that (+ Shelena's new SEC and one Joker at 1000 tickets and 1500 tickets points) 😀

@Dfner

If you apply this strategy every time there's an Ex-Card, you'll end up with credits for the rest of your life.

You're going to have to plan on living to a ripe old age. And you never know what's around the corner....

In any case, it's sure to be good business for Totem.


@Dfner

Si vous appliquez cette stratégie à chaque fois qu'il va y avoir une Ex-Card, vous allez vous retrouver avec des crédits jusqu'à la fin de vos jours.

Il va vous falloir prévoir vivre très vieux. Et comme on ne sait jamais ce qui nous attend dans la vie....

En tous les cas, ça va être assurément une bonne affaire pour Totem.
