Are the famous pornstars better? If it is, than it's in the f-cards since they have more experience with being filmed in masturbation shows, g/g and b/g. They are not better dancers: the best dancers in the last month's were for me Isabelle, Jessika, Angelika Grays, Elis (Czech), Ellie Leen (in the cards, where she's really dancing), Anastasia Brokelyn (a beginning pornstar) and Tina. My impression is that Totem selects the last year more on dance and pole dance skills. That's more important then their nationality.

I'm not convinced that pornstars are likely to be better on iStripper than unknowns, or that they will necessarily be more expensive.

Pornstars certainly seem to be more reliably good than unkowns at xxx, but only a few of them will have developed dance skills. There are many internet unknowns working the clubs and cams in Eastern Europe and they are equally likely to have the skills and beauty to put on a good show here. Of course, most unknowns won't want to strip on the net, but a proportion will and that number depends on economics and their alternative sources of income.

I think Totem finds it difficult to determine in advance who will do a good job. We know they ask for vids from unknowns and we know they've passed on some pornstars doing European tours - because surely the girls' agents will have contacted them. Maybe they were asking for too much money. But equally, we don't know how difficult it is to recruit unknowns, or how selective Totem is.

From the performers' point of view, maybe they sometimes need the money, but also they need the exposure, whether they are unknown or established pornstars. Whether they supplement their modelling with clubs, cams or escorting, a good iStripper performance must be useful.

So I suspect that Totem offers a pretty fixed fee for Take-1s and adjusts their profile in the market so that they get a regular flow of decent applicants (in their view). They'll modify their approach, if the proportion of pornstars/unknowns changes, for example if they fail to book any pornstars for a few months. They'll do the same if quality and hence sales drop off. Maybe they'll stretch a bit for a performer at the top of her career like Jia Lissa, but not enough to attract the likes of Kendra Sutherland.

So show quality will vary over time, depending on many things. Totem will almost certainly ignore the rumblings of the tiny minority of customers who participate in the Forum.

I remember when special cards were VIP cards and they were free to platinum members. I think special cards should be free for Diamond members or Premium

Thanks @lukaszr 👍

Would be nice if this feature was added.

Popping in my two-pennorth (old English expression), if there is a good reason for trying to get some American models it is to inject some fresh DNA into the Totem model gene pool.

Reading all the posts above, I looked back at the cards thst have been released recently (and those in the pipeline as per the Workshop) and I am struck by the similarity of the girls - the proportion who have similar slim body shapes with long dark (brunette or black) hair. The only real stand out is Eva Elfie - and her upcoming show will be the 14th! I am getting bored with the girls we are seeing.

What has happened to the blondes? Are they dying out in Eastern Europe? I can't post pictures here from non-iStripper but go and look at models like Kennedy Leigh from America - blonde (often short cut) hair, fabulous boobs and can give one heck of a BJ. So, if girls like Kennedy (and Skye Blue with the blonde cut) are only available from America, we need them.

IMHO

I have no idea, nor I suspect do you, what percentage of new or old customers "come for the names they know". We can only guess. What I do know that it is not true in my case.

Same here.

New customers (and maybe also longer time customers) come for the names, they know.

Some time ago this promotion had a bug. You didn't have to restart iStripper. You could simply refresh the page and a new set of cards was drawn, but, if you bought a set, the wrong cards were added to your collection.

Information about the drawn cards is stored on the server. Deleting any files will not change the drawn set.

Is there a way to change the 3 pre-selected cards?

I remember a few years ago, by adding or removing cards from your wishlist, then restarting the program, you would have a new set of cards. Doesn't seem to work anymore.

Is there another way? By manually deleting a file in the Data folder for example.

Famous girls are a must have to keep the marketing going.

With this I agree and that's what Totem/iStripper is doing with Take 3's for Melena Maria Rya and Carolina Abril.

the no-name Ukrainians and Russians that we nowadays get.

I don't believe famous pornstars ask for a magnitude more money than the no-name Ukrainians and Russians that we nowadays get.

Pornstars know that Totem needs them, they have full agenda's and are in a stronger negotiation position. They can and will ask more, but no idea about how much more. Extra costs of famous names are evened out with new unknow models like Liana, Kristi, Eva Ginger. Totem/iStripper has a perfect nose for new (relatively unknown) talents like Jenny Wild and Sherice in the beginning of their career.

I agree more effort should be put into getting famous girls into the studio.

I tend to not agree. Team should search for beautiful and skilled models. I personally don't care at all if they are famous in the porn star system or not, it's quite the same for me.

I don't believe famous pornstars ask for a magnitude more money than the no-name Ukrainians and Russians that we nowadays get.

I believe they precisely do, instead.

I agree with both sentiments expressed here.

Famous girls are a must have to keep the marketing going.

In all honest, apart from Eva Elfie and Jia Lissa, maybe Liya Silver, when was it the last time we saw a true pornstar in the studios?

Oh, and Skye Blue, too, she's great.

I don't think it's possible anymore to write reviews of cards you do not own.And hope it will never be possible, also!

Indeed, that was a rather pointless exercise.

I do have reviews on cards that I do not own, but since they were removed from the store and my collection they're not accessible by the majority of users anymore.

sorry for the first post being unrelated to the packs but with 7 shows this week does that mean the studio is back in full swing and you don't need to ration shows anymore?

If so congrats. glad to have something in the world back to normal.

we're here to help :)

Thank God it's Friday and we thought you'd be happy to get some free packs :)

in shader it gives a higher result that the propper "=" version.

Thankfully atom ***** if i put "if( a = 0 ) do somthing();" so i catch those mistakes. It was just weird that it didn't catch it in the dist = . Thanks for explaining why.

I don't think it's possible anymore to write reviews of cards you do not own.

And hope it will never be possible, also!

I have one suggestion for future achievements, an expansion of the critic award. You could do several more like "serious critic" - write a review for 10 cards you own, "honorary Critic" - write a review for 30 cards you own. Maybe even "Psychic Critic" - write a review for a card you do NOT own. I think you get some fun out these kinds of achievements.

@gkar45

Just click on picture 1 and use the left symbol under the picture to download it, and there you go. That´s all it is. Just a picture. It does not give you any advantages, nobody can even see this except yourself. All you can do with the badges is print them and make some scrambled eggs on it. On Steam, the Gaming Platform, you can see how many kids are chasing for the same kind of Badges and Achievements. They spend lots of money to get them. I always thought this are only kids who spend their pocket money, to impress their friends or making stands. But to see the same bullshit is working on an adult platform as well, makes me laugh a little bit. I really cannot believe it.

This reminds me on a quote of Friedrich Nietzsche:

“Even now man is more of an ***** than any of the apes.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

Paint 3D didn´t save the dog, that result you see in 1st uploaded pic. That´s why I made another post with picture 2.

@gkar45

If somebody here is pulling your chain it is Totem. The 4.20 Badge making more money than any SEC does. Everybody is trying around the clock to get it. And as long as there are still people trying to get it, they will leave it be how it is. Money, Money, Money

I actually usually like the scratchers but after 185 cards, and not getting a single SEC, kinda thinking it's not worth doing it in the future.

I have just uploaded version 3.03d of the Playlist Generator. I've fixed 3 programming error all relating to clip filters and tags. I've also added a new tag "Tran all types" which should make it easier to exclude transition clips. I also changed the clip hotness count logic. Transition clips are no longer counted.

It can be found at: https://virtuastripper.net/files/Playlist_Generator.zip

If you have customized your current version, be sure to export your tags and filters before moving to the new version. See the User Notes for details, or ask me here.

Important note: The clip tags "tran ctl ..." are descriptors of regular clips not transition clips. They describe which transition clips may follow a regular clip. If you exclude these tags you will likely exclude many regular clips from your search. These tags have limited value.

One week of customer screwing. My fingers would rot off before I gave it another shot. They can stick that thing anywhere.

Finally I Got it! LOL!

OK so I gave it one last go, 4:20 PDT and 4:20 PST an hour later, No luck, will wait for the team to update accounts now.

People would then tend to write totally casual and unuseful reviews only reason and purpose of which would be helping them to get the badge...

I agree @HansSachs - while I am qt home self-isolating I have been working my way through my unwatched cards and I have been posting what I hope are useful reviews.In doing so, I am seeing more and more so called reviews that are simply one word - and as reviews they are neither use nor ornament. If people can do this simply to win a badge it cheapens the achievement and makes it harder for people to be able to assess if a card has what they want before they buy.

As for reviewing a card you do not own - what on earth would be the point of that?

What is surprising is that more review systems don't put more criteria to what you see.

Example anyone could write a review but as a purchaser I should be able to filter to only see reviews of owners, people who watched for 10hrs, ect.

I could also rate the reviewer and the ones I agree with show up and the ones I disagree don't show up in my rating.

This doesn't exist anywhere so not saying it's a shortcoming here.

Thank You for the enlightenment !!!
I'm one of those people who have adverse reactions to substances others find recreational.
*****gives me a sickening dizzy headache.
***** makes every muscle cell feel ill to the point of wanting to throw up.
Thankfully, ***** does relax muscles but the cheap stuff can give me a bad hangover so I'm not in danger of being an alcoholic because my body punishes me if I overdo it.
I prefer good bourbon or a nice single malt scotch.

Thanks

For those who have not received their badge yet drink 3 shots of JD old #7,
3 cans Coors light and smoke 3 joints twice a day until you receive it. Works
great for me.😇

I think we're all still waiting for the team to run the scans that will identify the winnersI don't know about others, but personally I am waiting them to do things as fixing Search function on forum, or the defective cards.

I think we have to be patient and let Celine and the team sort it out. They are working in difficult circumstances with working from home and they have a buggy beta version 1.2.248 to fix plus the faults as mentioned by @HansSachs.

So - we don't know their internal priorities but I'm willing to cut them some slack if they can at least keep us informed.

my xoxo achievemnt is also missing i won the fan sign of carly rae -.-

"4:20 Louis"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/420_(cannabis_culture)
😎

Oh @TimDenchanter - where have you been? 😄

The 4:20 references are all about cannabis. I will quote from Wikipedia....

"4/20 (pronounced four-twenty) is *****culture slang for ***** consumption, especially smoking around the time 4:20 pm, and also refers to cannabis-oriented celebrations that take place annually on April 20 (which is 4/20 in U.S. form)."

Hence the background in the badge is a *****leaf and Carolina Abril is used as "Abril" is Spanish for April.

I knew none of this until this badge appeared.

originally, 4 20 was the time of day.
school ended at 3:00
detention ended at 4:00
twenty minutes to get to the meeting place to.... get started...

I followed Celines instructions about contacting her concerning winning a fan sign and have still not received that badge

They likely stopped to promote urgency when they do release a pack.

I will say I think like someone else said the only reason to get scratch cards is if you are new like I am or if you want the SEC.

Its not a great deal but its okay for people with zero discounts on their profile. That deal is outweighted by getting random cards.

I think possibly a better option would be a hidden booster pack with a theme in which a SEC could be randomly won. Possibly it could be that if you get a duplicate card it refunds you that portion of the booster as well.

You could just "scratch" to reveal each of the cards instead? Or possibly have it where you purchsae between 1-10 cards and there are 12 of them on the page and you the cards are numbered 1-12 you getting from 1 up to the number you purchased?

Lots of ways to possibly remove some of the complete randomness, keep some of the profit that they want, and get more out of it in the end for normal people.

Understand the "May the 4th" Star Wars reference but not the 4:20 thing ... please enlighten me THX

7 hours ago (edited)Little Caprice, Sybil, Cherry Kiss, Alyssa Reese have all become major starlets in@orclover - I was reading my way through your post when my eyes spotted two words - Belka and webcam!Please tell me more.....She goes by Faneti Reni.

Thanks @orclover - found it - including a nearly 2 hour cam video - wowser 😊😆

Hahahaha, they should have made buy 500 credits at 4.20 Badge, that would be a nice thing as well.

I think they could even give the 4:20 badge as a prize in Scratch Cards or in Slot Machine... it looks like people would be ready to bet tons of credits just in order to get it. 😲

I pulled "play time min".

Play Time min is a card attribute and should be pretty accurate. The staticProperties file contains the total number of frames in all the .vghd clips of a card. That number does not inlcude .demo clips or transition clips. I assume 25 frames per second and use that to calculate the play time. I understand that some cards are recorded at 24 frames per second, so there is the potential for a 4% error. At one time I thought some cards were recorded at 20 frames per second, but that doesn't seem to be true.

The uncertainty is about the Play Time sec in the Clip table. That is an approximation. The staticProperties file contains the size of the card for all available resolutions. From what I can see this is the total number of bytes for the same set of .vghd clips that are used for counting the number of frames. Using the correct resolution for your collection, I calculate average bytes per second for the card. Then I use the actual size of each clip to calculate the play time of that clip. This results in a set of numbers that add up correctly but will be off by the amount that the average bits/second of a clip differs from the overall average for the card. I'm not an expert on video encoded, but I would think that a card with a lot of motion would require more bits/sec than one with less. I do know that when I compare the result of my estimates with the published play time of clips there are significant differences. One advantage of my approach is that it lets me estimate the play time of transition clips.

If I knew a way to capture Totem's numbers, I'd use them, but I don't.

May be it would be great to have more permanent booster packs (even if you cannot choose the cards in the packs) with various thematics to define.

Back when the program was called VirtuaGirlHD Totem permanently offered quite an extensive range of themed booster packs. I do not know why they stopped, but presumably it was for good business reasons.

@gkar45,
Thank you. (no 4:20 achievement yet).
