LD Thinks He Is Awesome… Is He?

Posted in FFR News, Game Announcements, Simfiles, Tokens, Tournament on June 30th, 2008

So, I posted a subscriber news story last night (also found in my profile’s random thoughts) about how we are going to fix the challenge system so that you can no longer play files you don’t have access to by getting a challenge on them. Well, that has happened. So, now you won’t be able to play Vertex BETA vROFL unless you earn it. Or Otaku [Oni]. Or the big boy secret levels. Or any upcoming levels we have in store. These levels are meant to be rewards for an accomplishment, and they haven’t been to this point. Now they are again. If you want to play them, you’ll have to earn it.

You guys can thank (or curse) Lightdarkness for implementing this system. It is the reason he thinks he is awesome. I think he’s a pretty cool kid myself.

Finally… we have some new token ideas that we’ll be putting into place later this week, completely different than anything you’ve seen before. *insert gasps and looks of awe*.

Cheers,

-Tass & his slave coder, LD

  3. Thank you LightDarkness
    <3

  4. All aboard the awesome-boat?
    Thanks!!
    Skill tokens for beating a song on diagonal scroll at 3x speed with dizzy on?

  5. Awesome.

  6. OMG YEAHHHH new tokens
    i hope they’re not too hard…

  7. Yay new tokens! Can’t wait!

  8. I can’t wait. Unique STs, that’ll give even the pros a run for their money I’m sure. ^_^

  9. That actually relieves me of ever having to worry about noob players ranking high on songs because people challenged songs they didn’t earn.

  10. <3 LD

  11. fuck…

  12. wow, they don’t censor posts here :(

  13. I would be happy if I had vROFL but I don’t so, *curses*.

  14. So what will we do when LD finds a cow tongue on his porch followed by a symbol drawn on his door O___O?

    I bet like 3 ppl even know what I’m talking about >_>.

  15. Awesome!!! awesome!!! awesome!!!!!

  16. :O *gasps in awe*

  17. New tokens? Finally

  18. *gasp*

  19. I do think this is awesome. Thanks LD and a big YES for new tokens.

  20. sweet it means something now to have tokens

  21. Wow, I am very excited!! This is gona be so awesome!!!

    ~Cardman~

  22. This was implemented a lot faster than I thought it would be O.o Yay!! :D

  23. Woo!

  24. Personally I think it’s a stupid idea. I see your reason’s behind it as to prevent like whoring it because it is a special accomplishment but i do think that people should be able to send out a challenge as they please. I think its just me thinking this though.

  25. *gasps awefully*

  26. I’ve seen some pretty weird things, Tass. =P

  27. Great job. Now I’m going to be asking for challenges over and over again. This is the worst idea yet. I hate you…

  28. Nice job :D I was wondering why it was like that; always seemed kind of illogical that you could challenge someone to a song they don’t even have.
    Anyway I do hope you mean new *skill* token ideas. If they’re token ideas, I’ll never come close to finding them…

  29. *GASP*

  30. *GASP*

  31. C-c-combo breaker

  32. I hope the new tokens don’t have anything to do with the official tournament. >:|

  33. lolololol….

    just made ffr harder lol :P

  34. Would have been nice if we had this before the Gamewhoring competition. Would have stopped a few people from easily taking the lead with songs they didn’t earn. (Not to say they didn’t do an awesome job, 24 hours is a damn long time to whore one song, but still).

    Good job LD, I think it’s about time this was implemented. =)

  35. Wow, LD, nice work. I’m glad that everyone has to earn the right to play the levels now.

  36. Skill tokens are for those with skill; not for those with priveleged connections.

  37. Haha, great job. Now skill tokens and tokens have a meaning. :D

  38. :( And :)

  39. :( :)

  40. LD = <3

  41. lmfao I remember the days when I had a GRIP of dumbasses asking me for Oni challenges. I’d literally never talked to half of them in my life.

  42. I’m so glad. All those people who don’t have rare tokens can’t ask for challenges constantly…{Yeah, so stop asking me for the Vertex Beta VROLF}

  43. QUICK! Downvote this comment.

  44. Nevermind. I read this wrong.

  45. I hope the requirements aren’t something like get x amount of averages with y amount of boos and x+y/2 goods. :/

  46. Oh darn. No more fun with my high-ranked friends. :(

  47. At least they can quit siphoning credits off of me. XD

  48. *gasp*

  49. LD is awesome, no questions asked.

  50. Good thing taco sent me an otaku challenge before this! XD But its great no more idiot hackers get vROFL. Cough* XUioX *Cough

  51. eh, cool i guess

  52. ooh. nice LD.

    tokens. skill or the other kind?

  53. It truly saddens me to see this happen. Effort is being taken simply to impede people from having fun playing songs that they like; something that brings a little bit of pleasure into their lives. I was against the concept of skill tokens to begin with, but this is too much. Truly a dark day in the life of FFR.

  54. i guess it’s impossible to make everyone happy… but secret, purchased, skill, and token songs are meant as songs to strive for. achievements to unlock over time. rewards for long-time playing and gaining skill. they aren’t meant for everyone to have access to. if you can’t see it that way, then i guess it would upset you. but i see that as the viewpoint of the vast minority. ALSO, if all you want is to listed to songs you like, use the song list, where you can listen to any song in the game. http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/FFRStats/FFRSongs.php

  55. cr@p :< Oh well, I never asked for challenges on anything.

  56. I’ve never used that Challenge feature ever, so I guess I’m good, lol. Nice job anyways fixing something that people can abuse.

  57. FFR has now decreased in popularity amond amateur players.

    FFR has now made the right move for the first time.

    FFR is now -1 bug proof.

    FFR is now a better place to be.

    <3

  58. FINALLY

    <3 LD

  59. noooooooo i cant play vRofl now =’(

  60. tokens!! <3333

  61. To me, all that matters here is the new Tokens or Skill Tokens. *Gasp* *Looks with awe*

  62. somones getting shot

  63. personally, i didn’t know one could play those levels like that, but i think that they are RIDICULOUSLY HARD TO ACHIEVE.

    i mean – they should also consider SENIORITY.

    i’ve been here four years, and i can’t get those levels (whatever… you can say i suck, but i can probably beat most of you). as a physics/astronomy major, i can’t play enough to get that kind of precision.

    you should unlock level over time being here and supporting this website… cuz i have gotten a LOT of people to come here. shit.

    ~your friendly physics/astronomy major

  64. no….LD…that wasnt cool at all.

  65. i tink this new system is great because I’m sick of noobs or unskilled players playing songs that they haven’t earned yet or think they can beat. Everyone should have to work their way to the top just like in the real world. FFR Rules!!! and so does Ld!!!!!!!

  66. vROFL should be easier to get. The end.

  67. See comment #32.

  68. @Post 63. That’s like saying “I was here first, so I get the prize”.

    Corrupt economies on MMOs where ‘rares’ are released on the first week of opening get an unfair advantage to people who actually strive to gain money. You should get what you work for.
