### Some characters have bigger breasts. How does that happen?

The size of the breast changes with the quality of the top. With epic tops, the chest appears larger than a rare top, and rare tops make the chest look bigger than regular (common) tops.

Top

### Is it possible to change the player name or will there be such a feature using diamonds / notes?

It is not possible to change a character's name by themselves. Name changes are made by the support only if the chosen name violates the terms and conditions.

Consider carefully when creating a player name, because changing names are not easy.

Top

### Why do my skill points increase multiple times when I increase them?

When adding skill points the effects of boosters, refinements and studio extensions are immediately included and updated. This makes the points seem to jump in steps of 2 or 3 or more.

Top

## Missions

### Why can't I refill my mission energy?

* You do not have enough notes / diamonds to replenish your energy.
* You can refill a maximum of 4 x 50 energy and have already consumed the number of charges.
* You can refill energy only when the remaining energy drops below 50.
* If you only used up your basic energy and did not recharge enough notes / diamonds, you can sometimes log out and log in again.

If these 4 points are not correct, you should contact the support.

Top

### What is the small screen that sometimes appears in the bottom right corner of missions?

With this TV you can halve your mission time once per hour by watching a commercial. This feature is only available on the UK server.

Note, however, that this is only possible if you have not enabled Adblocker, otherwise the commercial can be blocked and not broadcast.
Top

### How do I participate in a convention?

You can participate in a convention if you have produced at least 1 film, otherwise it will not be displayed. If the previous point applies, you can participate in a convention like normal missions.
For each convention, there is a set duration and a target for the number of visitors for the convention is considered successful. If after the convention time has ended and the target is not reached, then it is considered to be failed and there is a small consolation.
The more fans you have collected through film productions, the more visitors are attracted to each show.

Top

### What do the levels of difficulty in combat missions mean?

Combat missions offer a higher proportion of notes or experience in less time than normal time missions. They are divided into the difficulties "Easy" "Normal" and "Hard". At the end of such a mission you have to fight. The values ​​of the opponent depend on the level of difficulty, and uses the player's skill levels:

Hard opponents have on average 94% of the player's own skill points (between 93% and 95%).

Normal opponents have on average 85% of the player's own skill points (between 84% and 86%).

Easy opponents have on average pretty much 77.5% of the player's own skill points (between 75% and 80%).

The average damage is calculated by strength, the damage of the weapon and the missile.
The less damage your weapon makes, the less the mission opponent does.

Top

### When will a convention appear?

Conventions can be scheduled at any time of the day or night, less frequently on Tuesdays. Also, they can appear on weekends.

If there are conventions for temple challenges or special event missions, then a schedule with the next 3 conventions may be available.

### How can I replenish my energy?

If you no longer have enough energy, you either have to wait until midnight, the energy is completely replenished every day after 0:00 o'clock, or 20 diamonds or a certain number of notes (the amount of which depends on the level) are invested.

As soon as you want to start a mission that requires more energy than you currently have, you will automatically be asked if you want to use diamonds or notes. For 20 diamonds or a certain amount of notes you will receive 50 energy.

In total, you can refresh up to 200 additional energy by diamonds or notes.

Please note, however, that your energy will be completely replenished after midnight anyway. Any remaining energy from the previous day is gone, when the energy bar is refilled completely.

## Items and shop

### What's up with missiles?

What do the refinements bring me?
