No idea, maybe that's it.

@Doxomedon I've been checking the base prices, and they all seem accurate.
Except, I just got a J, and it seems to have added 50 to the value. (The 3 cards were a base price of 31.35, and it said 82.)

@mdekker - but were the 5 subtracted ?

When gambling for 5 credits and getting 2 stars as a result, it is supposed to give you 25 credits (5x5). The pop-up in the slot machine says so too. However each time only 20 is added to your account.

Hi,
If its not too much trouble would you include the clip number when you post these? Sometimes I want to get straight to the shaking without having to go through and find it.

Thanks for your efforts! :)

How forthcoming have the Joker letters been for everyone? I've been wanting to pick up Kaisa Nords card but I'll wait if its going to take a signifcant investment

Did anyone else notice that the latest version of the Slot Machine likes to add 25 tokens to the total without there being an associated card ?

Example, I got a "J" "*" "Card(woth 25)" "Card(worth 25)" "%20 Off"

I get %30 Off, I get the %20Off from the wheel, and it wants to chage me 48 Credits.
Normaly, I could buy the two cards straight out for 17.5 Credits each = 35 Credits.

It happens EVERY TIME.

It looks bad when you try to do a discount, and charge more than if you didn't play at all, and this is after you have paid to spin.

If an Admin wants, I will gladly show a video of the results of a 5 Credit Spin.

I like the slot machine.
Just one question.
Would it be possible in the future to be able to buy just one of the discounted cards?
I already have a lot of cards, but I do see the occasional card in the slot machine that I would like to buy.
Especially if it is at 50% or 70% discount.
But since I have to buy 3 or 4 cards, with 2 or 3 cards that I do not want, I never buy any cards from the slot machine.
I would if I could buy just the 1.

I have 6 Eliska Cards which I thought was all that were issued, and none of them seem to be all nude. Pink Bar 849 seems closest to what is desribed though without a complete open leg. Aleska Diamond has the same level of raunchy nudity about 70% in her Solo 268, but again no open leg at least on her back.

we had a girl orgasm on a fully nude card. Eliska does a nudity only card, except she does a complete spread open leg...

Maybe I'll go a little off-topic, but I would ask @orclover if he can tell me names of such cards...

Thanks, works for me as well, the cards turned around with a 20% discount. Have a great weekend!

Good luck guys and have fun!!! : ))

Yes, seems to be working now, thanks <3

Hi guys, please restart iStripper

Strangely I see people on the winners list now, but still not working for me, even tried restart, checking updates and syncing.

I see that my proposal is not liked &/or not fully understanded, so I will stop with it...

They have subtely told us this but the lack of clarity is troubling and the reviews for the cards of the nude art girls are very low considering how beautiful the girls are...Anastasha is barely sitting at a 4.09...which means a bunch of people bought the card and were not pleased.

Anyway I will always point that, as for the few "full XXX" cards recently published, also for "nude art" ones solution is very simple. I personally like both types, and I see no reason for totally stopping producing them.
But, also, getting some form of identification whatsoever for such cards is necessary and urgent if company wants (as it should) both: appeal people who could like and buy cards of such types, and avoid complaints by people who may not like them.
Endly, I'll use this post also to say thanks to all members of QA team for their work and efforts.

Same issue here. 1 spin, but no cards are visual.

Hi guys, we are working on it. Sorry for any inconvenience caused. Will keep you posted : )

Same here, 5 credits, 1 spin then nothing

Same issue to me...

Same for me :'(

Well, I just tried a spin and even though I lost the credits, I didn't even get to see the cards I am supposedly getting a discount on. The buy button also doesn't work.

What's going on here?

It happened the same to me, I spent 5 credits and nothing happened...

Exactly the same as the previous posters...credit taken but reels didn't spin and the machine is now unusable...

I also managed to get one spin, but since then it is not possible to press any of the buttons - when it is over any button the mouse pointer goes to a red circle with a red diagonal line through it

I have the same problem...

I also managed to get one spin, but since then it is not possible to press any of the buttons - when it is over any button the mouse pointer goes to a red circle with a red diagonal line through it

Is there a better chance of getting a joker letter if I spend more credits on one spin?

Yes of course.
2 Credits = 2X more chances
5 credits = 5X more chances

same problem here

Same happened to me, spent 2 credits didnt see any cards, now the slot machine doesn't work at all can't click on anything.

Same Problem here. Credit spent on a roll, but only empty pictures

As I previously said, a gambling game in pandemic times could be not the right choice to fidelize customers. Specially if, as it looks from users' feedback, it isn't working so well...
Anyway, my advice is to temporarily retire the offer from Store and correct all errors before publishing it again, rather to get more *****.

Additionaly, no more spins can be done at this point. Not that I'd try anyay, but the buttons show an invalid cursor.

we're here to help :)

Thank God It's Friday and we really deserve some great distraction this week-end, without moving from our living room!

New releases

Let's start this plan of distraction by a sum up of the shows we have released this week:

Please make your best welcome to Tina, an adorable and charming delicate beauty whose performance will really surprise you... sweet Anastasiia and torrid Belka run a contest of black lingerie, whereas Stacy Cruz offers you her service of personal assistant (and she has a message for you...), Tanya Bahtina prefers flesh-coloured underwears whereas Carolina Abril comes back in a girl next door outfit with as openwork as possible :-P



What's the plan now?

The Slot Machine is back, that not only will allow you to get cards with discounts as high as 100% but also win up to 5 000 credits !
And that's not all! With this slot machine, you can also win JOKER CARDS!

Details of your gains:

Spin for 1 credit and get 5% to 50% discount on the cards drawn
Spin for 2 credits and get 10% to 70% discount on the cards drawn
Spin for 5 credits and get 20% to 100% discount on the cards drawn

PLUS: Win FREE credits when you see a symbol on the line drawn:
If you spin 1 credit:
1 symbol makes you win 1 credit
2 symbols makes you win 5 credits
3 symbols makes you win 50 credits
4 symbols makes you win 1 000 credits
And you multiply the number of credits you win if you spin for 2 or 5 credits!

JOKER CARDS:
Every time you get a letter on your slot draw, it highlights the corresponding letter in the word J O K E R that appears at the top of the machine. Once you have drawn all the letters, you win a joker card! The number of joker cards to win is unlimited.

Where to find the Slot Machine?
Visit the Featured section of iStripper and click on the "Slot Machine" tab.
You have till Friday, April 24, 9.00 am Paris time, to enjoy it!

This set of three icons appear in several places in the GUI, in particular on a card's main details page, on the releases carousel and when you start to buy a card from the girls store. If the mouse pointer is hovered over the "quality" icon a rather detailed description of what the particular quality shown in that icon means, but nothing happens if you hover over either of the other two.

I think that much of the problem being discussed here arises from users not being fully aware of what the various hotness levels mean. This is not surprising because the names of the levels can be somewhat misleading if they are thought of as descriptions. They will almost certainly not be immediately understood by new users.

This could be aleviated if the Hotness Level indicator had a similar pop up description to the Quality indicator - one that explicitly mentioned that the duration of maximum hotness may be brief. There should probably be a similar pop up description for the total duration indicator as well, but there is less need there.

Of course positive comments are welcomed as well but those tend to be somewhat scarce around here so are not really expected.

I enjoy being able to contribute to the quality of the product and hope that the efforts of those of us in QA help Totem stay successful long into the future!!

Thanks pd48 - that must have taken you some time to put that response together. Very clear and factual and much appreciated. And thank you to you and the other unknown QA team members for your efforts on our behalf.

@Ra1d3X Hi, sorry this offer was valid until March.

I really liked this TGIF promo 👍. Theme packs are a nice idea and the discount is really good, to save a lot or to compensate sets one wouldn't buy otherwise.

@pickle1

Unfortunately it only requires a brief flash of "full nudity" on a single clip to get a card so classified. A card's eroticism level is that of its highest rated clip, and a clip's rating will be assigned even if that level is reached for only a second or so. It has always been like this, and there are other cards like this one.

It isn't about the card label...you can't trust them. Girls finger themselves on fully nude cards, we had a girl orgasm on a fully nude card. Eliska does a nudity only card, except she does a complete spread open leg...but...totem should be doing the Margo treatment for this new crew of Nude Art girls. Be transparent.

I agree - the director's notes are probably the best place for such information.

@Pickle1

So with that amount of variation, how am I supposed to make an informed choice and know what to expect?
This is why I and several others have asked for at leat a summary of the clip list be made available prior to purchase. It would be better if the time spent in each clip at its highest level was available as well so that we could distinguish between clips that reach "full nudity" or "XXX" for only a second or so from those that maintain the level for longer but that information is not available anywhere in the system so it can't be shown..

I agree with everything that @pumpdude48 has said in his previous three posts.

Of course, in retrospect, a better system could have been used from the start but changing things now is pointless.

I don't think it needs to be an organizational debacle like changing or adding tags for thousands of cards. I just think..from now on...totem needs to clarify either on the card ui, through the director notes, or a new tag that the card are nude art. They have subtely told us this but the lack of clarity is troubling and the reviews for the cards of the nude art girls are very low considering how beautiful the girls are...Anastasha is barely sitting at a 4.09...which means a bunch of people bought the card and were not pleased.

And later when QA doesn't find the rated explicit activity and reports same back to post production, it needs to get reviewed by those that can actually make changes in a timely manner. This is because "QA" is some of our members who volunteer their time to check the various new cards and don't have the capability to actually make any changes, which must be done by Totem's in-house post production team.

However, sometimes things slip through the cracks and a polite mention of the issue in 'please fix these cards' will get it put on the list to recheck and change if warranted. (And no I don't want to debate how long it may or may not take for the team to act on those reports as that is a separate issue from this.)

HEY!!!

STOP NODDING OFF!!!

The best is yet to come!

With all this said, I really don't think that the rating system needs tweeking and all the work that would entail. The rating system is in place and it works as advertized for the most part as long as it is judiciously applied with some common sense, which also mostly, it is.

Our responsibility as members is to know what the different levels really mean and to only report/***** when they don't match up.

That being said I do agree that there have been some 'liberal' interpretations of what is and what is not L3/L4/L5 behavior recently and I understand folk's ire over buying an L4 rated card (or whatever) only to see a couple split second glimpses of the rated level with no other action happening to meet the criteria in the rest of the card. As mentioned above, report it appropriately and know that you have participated in the QA process in a positive manner for all concerned. With all the warm and fuzzy feelings that come with it.... 😉

If you bought a card that doesn't measure up and you feel strongly enough about it, just log a customer service ticket POLITELY explaining your position. The team wants you to be happy with their product and if you have a case they will certainly take action to make it right.

And lastly I also agree that we have had a real glut of barely nude willing models recently which I personally find somewhat disappointing. 😒

I'm done now, you can go back to sleep after sending your rightous flames my way...🔥

Thanks for listening!! 😊

PD48

P.S. yes, if you haven't guessed it yet, I have been one of the few proud members of the QA team for more than a year now so please feel free to heap all your negative energies and angst on me where this issue is concerned. Not that I have the power to do anything about them but if it makes you all feel good then feel free!! 😎😈

I don't think the category system should be modified. It works as is and modifying it now would entail a rather intensive overhaul of both the app and the many of the member created extras (play list generators and scenes for example). There are over 4500 cards with an average of 13 or so clips per card that would need re-review which is a gargantuan undertaking and likely wouldn't even be considered by Totem.

In my opinion we would be much better served with Totem's attention on fixing the various bugs in the app, bringing us new features and getting us a more diversified group of girls to strip for us.

Grab a beverage of your choice and I will explain my postion:

First, the criteria for the different levels:

These rules have been posted elsewhere but I don't have the gumption to dig them up and link them here. And I have paraphrased them slightly to make them more coherent in this format. I have the actual list because I am interested in this issue, but they are in excel format and I don't know how to post that sort of thing here if it is even possible.

L1 = essentially fully clothed to the point she can walk the streets (well... maybe only the beach in some places) and not get arrested. Partial view of breasts including aureola is allowed but without nipples showing.

L2 = "Topless" which is where visible nipples (either bare or under sheer top) come in but also include other things such as hazy view of vulva through sheer panties, hands momentarily under panties but no suggestive rubbing, ***** to moderate suggestive/erotic rubbing over panties or seeing partial vulva/labia with panties still on but no 'pink' or anus visible. For duos girls kissing with clothes on is also included.

L3 = "Nudity" which is panties off/full nudity but no explicit behavior, no pink or anus shown and no suggestive rubbing of vulva. For duos two girls kissing with nudity and no explicit behavior.

L4 = "Full Nudity" which starts getting into sexually explicit behavior by showing anus or open labia (showing inner 'pink') rubbing of vulva in an explicit manner but not achieving orgasm (real or imagined) but also includes 'erotic rubbing UNDER clothes', sucking a dildo or putting it under her panties and for duos: full nudity with some ***** caressing of the other girl's breasts or vulva area.

L5 = "Explicit Behavior or XXX" which is insertion of anything into the vagina/anus or masturbation to apparent orgasm of any kind. for duo's any oral to genital/anal genital/genital rubbing or contact (to exclude kissing on mouth or breasts which is L4)

Notice that nowhere in that list is there the term 'open legs'. A girl simply opening her legs so we can see her labia does not constitute L4 behavior (unless her labia opens and we can see 'pink') and is rated as L3 if the rules are strictly followed. Closed labia viewed from the rear is still L3 unless we can see anus as well and then it is L4.

HEY!!!!

WAKE UP!!!

I'M NOT FINISHED YET

Also you need to keep in mind that these ratings are applied by humans judging what other humans are doing. Every clip has to be viewed separately and often more than once to make sure all the criteria is met or not. It is entirely possible to miss a split second view of anus or pink and do we really want the clip rated higher for a split second glimpse anyway? I would prefer to have those very short and probably unintentional glimpses ignored in favor of the majority content of each clip where the erotic level ratings are concerned.

And to carry that a step further, do we really want a whole card rated L4 when there is only one or two clips that may have some very small amount of L4 action and the rest of the card doesn't? I think not, imo. Doing this will help ensure that the buyers expectations are met without significantly overdelivering. I'd call the little bit of extra a bonus and those that don't want to see it can toggle the filter to nudity and below in settings. I just checked and L5 cards will play with the nudity and below filter set. You just don't get the L4/5 clips.

I don't know this for sure but I kind of infer that the erotic levels are assigned during the actual shooting of the clips and that sometimes the girls do a little less or more than what the clip was originally supposed to be but the clip still goes to post production that way. The catch then becomes, that the folks in post production and QA have to diligently review each clip to make sure that the level of erotic content meets the standard of the level it was assigned. And this is only one of the very many things that each clip is reviewed for.

And later when QA doesn't find the rated explicit activity and reports same back to post production, it needs to get reviewed by those that can actually make changes in a timely manner. This is because "QA" is some of our members who volunteer their time to check the various new cards and don'...

Clip tags are inaccurate...if the girl is a nude art model, it needs to be explicitly stated or they need to stop casting them. For girl in between like Jessika who is just shy and uncomfortably the cards should just be taggd as nudity...even if she slips a little full nudity in...we have girls inserting fingers that are tagged as full nudity on the clip, and then girls who spending 1 second revealing get the same rating.

I am in basic agreement with @orclover - not about stopping casting girls who don't display (as I enjoy seeing a beautiful girl strip and become naked without necessarily needing to "look inside her") but about consistency, or the lack of it in how the cards and clips are classified. Take three cards as examples

1) Anastasia in "Naughty In My Boudoir". Card was classified as only "Nudity" and in clip 17 you did actually get a clear view of genitalia for around 5 seconds
2) Tanya in "Artistic Tease". Card was classified as "Full Nudity" and in one clip only you saw a rear view of her genitalia for around 2 seconds - less than Anastasia provided in a "Nudity only"
3) Elis in "On or Off". Classified also as "Full Nudity" but in this you had multiple clips where Elis provided considerable views of her genitalia and even managed a light fleeting rub.

So with that amount of variation, how am I supposed to make an informed choice and know what to expect?

@HansSachs

I just did an analysis of the f series cards in my collection. I only have 486 of the 600+ f series cards. From those, here are the number of cards by the percentage of XXX clips. 86 of my 486 cards are 50% or more XXX. I can't tell exactly how many have sound, but most of them probably do.

Percent XXX Number of Cards

20 159
30 81
