Value of the credit and credit sinks

Re: Value of the credit and credit sinks

Interesting input from everyone. However, even though someone doesn't play a lot of games doesn't mean they can't be a veteran. I've been stalking this site forever, I even have the standalone from the torrent that was uploaded when FFR went down because of the whole fiasco

Not complaining, just making a point. I guess I just feel like a veteran because I remember the posts of songs that came out forever ago, which are now considered legacy etc...

As for the tournament comment, I would stand no chance to win credits like that, I am happy if I can get all the arrows on one last battle or survive xdreamer, not actually win credits with my skills lol.

We occasionally have other spon-cons and events that have nothing to do with FFR skill. Usually we'll post em up on the front page.

Sure it does, because that's what we've decided "veteran" means. We've already got statistics that separately show how long you've been around and how much you've played, so no need to have something that just copies one of those, right?

Re: Value of the credit and credit sinks

Ah I see, I'll probably keep an eye out more from now on...not that I'm desperate for the credits anyway - I always just play FFR for the music.

Regardless of how you feel about veteran status, it really isn't difficult to get yourself some credits. If you really are a lurker of this site as you have mentioned, you would know about the various Spon Cons and other events that go on here you can win credits and support / event tokens from. Seriously, there is a holiday sing over event happening right now you can pull 20k from just by participating.

All it takes to get yourself a decent amount of credits now is a minor involvement in the FFR forum community. If you participate in events, custom tournaments, or get to know the fairly generous people that are around the site, you'll have lots of credits in no time.

Well, I think we have different definitions of the meaning of veteran. For me a veteran is someone who participates and has a history. In my case it's been a long time with not many game plays.

Not to take things out of context, but going by achievement alone is like saying that someone is only a war veteran if they actually killed someone on the battlefield (obviously don't read into that too much, it's just a general comparison, I don't want to start a flame war here)

Either way I'm bold and I'm old - but I'm no veteran haha :P

I don't need a veteran telling me what to do!

(jk, point taken, by lurking I mean browsing around - not doing anything useful lol)

EDIT: just to be clear my main concern is that the only way to get credits for a basic player is by participating in social events or playing for years on end at 8 credits a game if they stick strictly to only playing FFR with no bets, etc...I wish everyone had access to every song from the get-go (that could be me just being selfish though)

you don't just get 8 credits per song it depends how well you do on them

Re: Value of the credit and credit sinks

So, from 20k to almost 100k and then BAM.

10,000 21 seconds ago Lost
10,000 2 minutes ago Lost
25,000 4 minutes ago Lost
25,000 6 minutes ago Lost
10,000 6 minutes ago Lost
1,000 6 minutes ago Lost
1,000 7 minutes ago Lost
10 10 minutes ago Lost

It's not only 8 credits it's actually by how well you do on a song. I'm not sure if there's a cap anymore at all but AJ just said he's gotten 100 credits on a song before.

Haha I know that, I am saying my average is around 8. Depends on the song difficulty obviously.

EDIT: I hope you guys don't think I'm THAT dumb that I think I always get 8 credits lol

Re: Value of the credit and credit sinks

Oop sorry, wasn't implying that you're dumb or anything sometimes people that aren't really in the community much actually don't know these types of things.

Getting the community to be closer together through events is hardly a concern in my opinion. It allows for people to have fun and be rewarded both physically, and socially, through affiliating themselves with others who share similar interests they do. If anything hosting events, Spon Cons, and official (as well as custom) tournaments make Flash Flash Revolution stronger, not weaker.

Also the credit cap is 120, and it is actually rather simple to build up credits in the game if you take the time to practice and improve. Having secret and purchased songs (as well as skill / normal / support / event tokens) gives users more to do as their skill progresses. This game has a TON of content, but more invested players will eventually improve and complete all the songs, and no doubt strive to unlock everything they can. This is why new songs and tokens are always being added, so that way we can keep the interests of the experienced players as well as the newer ones.

EDIT: this is straying away from the thread topic, let's not derail this any further (even if I helped derail it a bit whoops).

lol no worries, I could understand that. I may not have a lot of gameplay/posts etc... but I definitely understand the game (and my fail at it haha)

Btw, I like your avatar, what anime is it from?
