Challenge Credits. You Love Them.
Lately we have been seeing alot of cheating to gain credits from the challenge system. I know you guys love all those credits but it was getting way out of hand. We have sent up an update to the challenge system that debit’s your account immediately upon challenging and will return the correct amount upon winning or the challenge timing out.
The only downside was that in order to do this, we had remove over 60,000 old and unanswered challenges. Many of the unanswered challenges were from cheaters anyway.
We will be sifting through the old challenges, banning accounts and removing stats as found appropriate. We will also be adjusted the credit levels of people who obviously received or cheated credits. So no complaining if you lose your 1 billion credits from cheating.
Cheers,
Synthlight + Opteron Blade Server Madness

Posted at 4:12pm on January 10th, 2007
You cannot have credits cheated from you.. You review the score your opponent had when he delivered the challenge and then you either accept or decline the challenge.

lol, i never even knew how to do this exploit, but someone sent me 20,000 credits once?

lol thats funny i didnt even know how to do this and pluse ummm.. i dont challenge because im not good enough
Posted at 5:22pm on January 10th, 2007
well, one day me and my brother wanted to challenge each other so i snuck on my moms computer, and he used mine. we played the song and then mom was waking up so we had to get off. ever since its been saying pending so i left it at that. as for the hacking, i dont know of this challenge credit hack, and i hope you wont be deleting chars with old challenges. i am a loyal ffr member and i dont believe in cheating in any way. i earned all my credits honestly. well gotta go play!

Meh…In my personal opinion, I think the idea of unlocking songs, getting credits, etc. is kinda stupid…I’d like to have all the songs to choose from. I don’t get my fun out of FFR by unlocking songs and stuff…I get it by actually playing the game…
I’ve calculated the time you have to spend working (yes I said working) on FFR and, while I don’t remember the exact numbers I found, I do remember that for a lot of credits (likely enough for every song) it would take MANY MANY hours of work…
Other games such as MMORPG’s and such, they use the “work and unlock” and “train and level up” systems. I don’t think FFR should include this in their game…
All just my opinion though like I said…lol.

Hurray now the cheaters shall fail! I must confess though, someone gave me 100000 credits once, which were most likely cheated…so you can go ahead and take ‘em away if you want, I like playing fair instead of having cheats
Posted at 6:06pm on January 10th, 2007
Good.
Posted at 6:09pm on January 10th, 2007
Thats good… since i didn’t really trust the challenge system very much. Also…this was part of my dream last night! =0

credits have no use once you’ve boughten everything. all you need is about 25k and from then on you’re good. why cheat for a billion?
Posted at 6:36pm on January 10th, 2007
I can’t wait until everyone starts making threads in the forum saying, “WHEREZ MY CREDZ I THNK I WUZ HAKED SYNTH PLZ HLEP ME!!!@@@1111!@”

The secret songs will eventually make it up to 100,000 credits.

Ha, busted! Good job catching this sorta thing Synth.
Posted at 7:14pm on January 10th, 2007
Hahahah, creditwhoring
Wow.. just wow.

Pizowned.

That is what they get, it is destiny! Besides the record for the challenges ruins the order. Also, there should be a thing for if you want to accept the credits given or else those who send them will miss up the cycle of playing. Such as I, I want to get all my credits by myself so there should be a thing to decline the acceptance of such credits or else everything will corrupt.

i have 21K but i earned all of them my biggest challenge was too my friend for about 500 I’ve had smaller challenges to my other friend and won about double that in total but thats not against the rules is it
Posted at 8:46pm on January 10th, 2007
Thanks for “accidently” deleting my unanswered challenges. never got any credits outta my challenges, but those two challeges woulda NEVER responded. It bothered me just looking at those two unanswered challenges.
Posted at 8:53pm on January 10th, 2007
Ho ho ho ho hooooooo
Posted at 9:05pm on January 10th, 2007
Aw man, take away my 2k creds then xD
Posted at 9:06pm on January 10th, 2007
don’t care. don’t do challenges anyway. though, i agree with tass.
Posted at 9:15pm on January 10th, 2007
well done
Posted at 9:30pm on January 10th, 2007
You need to fix the shop bug. I’ve already lost tons of credits to it…
It’s whenever I sometimes am lagging, and I click buy a song, nothing happens… So I click it like 12 more times until the lag disappears and debits my account all the times I had click the buy button… So I lose all my credits just for buying one song (even though I had tons of more credits than it cost to buy it in the first place)…

all those nerds…
Posted at 10:36pm on January 10th, 2007
i still dont get how they do it but what ever if its bad its bad
Posted at 11:24pm on January 10th, 2007
Hey, I think it’s kind of obvious that since this is my 4th month as a member that I didn’t actually earn 998316 credits. I didn’t cheat them either, a kind user sent them to me, I have no idea how he got them. All I can ask is that you leave me a couple thousand creds because I’m a really casual player and not the type who’s gonna sit there for hours every day just to earn enough credits to play lawn wake.
Posted at 12:09am on January 11th, 2007
in all honesty… it’s not THAT hard to gain enough credits to unlock all the songs… it may take time but take your time doing it! I don’t see the point in cheating the system to gain credits as it cheats the people who actually earned the songs from them and if you’re not experienced enough to gain the credits yourself, you probably wouldn’t be able to have fun with the secret songs you unlock with them anyways! If you are experienced enough to play them, there are loads of other songs to play… you can wait for the few secret ones…
Posted at 2:35am on January 11th, 2007
Im an experienced player and have been known to send thousands of credits to ffr players who aren’t complete a-holes, and i agree with rolenquin, secret songs do tend to be too hard for beginners, but its not like they are missing out, I only like maybe 3 of the secret and purchased songs. Creative stepfiles yes, good song? Maybe not so much.
Posted at 3:12am on January 11th, 2007
I think I have like…1 or 2 challeges sent to me…or I sent or something…that were not answered.
That was like a year ago though…nothing happened of it since. I agree with the change, and never knew some exploit happened with the system.
I mean I once was stuck with “YOU GOT A CHALLEGE” red sign of doom for a couple of days before it disappeareed…thats the worst that happened though.
I love the secret song thing. I don’t like purchased songs system though.
Its like “Either I earn credits to continue playing secret songs…or waste them to get A song…choices choice hmm~”
Posted at 7:25am on January 11th, 2007
once you get all the songs you can save for the secret ones!!
Posted at 8:49am on January 11th, 2007
Cheaters never win- but I never do challengeanyway. This was never brought to my attention until now so…GET RID OF CHEATERS…YAY!!! thanks for making FFR more safe…
-L$
Posted at 9:14am on January 11th, 2007
Oh yea someone gave me like ALOT of credits, but you can take em’ if ya’ want cause I’m not like them cheater type folk…
Posted at 10:36am on January 11th, 2007
That’s good because 100 credits earned honestly are better than 10,000 earned by hacking.
Posted at 1:56pm on January 11th, 2007
hi
Posted at 3:46pm on January 11th, 2007
With all those credits we get don’t you think we would need a bigger box for them? Yeah..
Posted at 4:02pm on January 11th, 2007
light speed i believe i gave you those credits but i didnt cheat for them!
Posted at 6:19pm on January 11th, 2007
oh…well thanks..but thwe system took em’ down…but I still believe you /trust
Posted at 8:25pm on January 11th, 2007
the game is exciting yes…but loosing ur hard earned credits is not the way to do things… i have well over 3000 songs played proof that i coulda earned the credits…
Posted at 1:11pm on January 14th, 2007
