1-13 Difficulty Titles

Re: 1-13 Difficulty Titles

I like dossar's recommendations on the first 6 difficulties. I never liked "standard" as a difficulty. I'm not sure if standard was a difficulty in the 1-20 system, I never used it.

I didn't either. I personally think Moderate sounds better.

Re: 1-13 Difficulty Titles

everything is fine.
just make the last difficulty Brutal or FBO or w/e. (honestly the only debate should be over the final difficulty name, nothing else)

people are thinking way too hard in this thread and it's annoying

Re: 1-13 Difficulty Titles

I do think we should get something new agreed on for the first six difficulties.

The word "Mild" makes me think of salsa. Mild, medium, hot. And "Light" can also have a different meaning in the food world, though I know that's totally irrelevant to rhythm games. Just wanted to point it out in case anyone else had the same thought.

If we're going to get rid of Standard, I'd like to keep Light out of the names, too. It's odd to have just one of the words we use in difficulty tags in the actual difficulty names.

I don't think Beginner should be used with Very Easy and Easy, unless Beginner replaces Easiest. Beginner is certainly easier than Easy, but Easiest has to be the first difficulty if it's used. So my below suggestions are just trimmings of these lists:

Easiest < Beginner < Simple < Basic < Fair < Lenient < Moderate < Tricky
Easiest/Beginner < Very Easy < Easy < Basic ... ("Simple" sounds too ... elementary to be harder than "Easy", I think.)

So ...

Easiest < Very Easy < Easy < Light < Moderate < Tricky
>> This is just my earlier suggestion with "Moderate" instead of "Standard", if we're not all suddenly averse to using "Easy" for three difficulties.

Easiest < Very Easy < Easy < Basic < Moderate < Tricky
>> Same, but also replacing Light with Basic, which we don't use as a difficulty tag.

Easiest < Basic < Fair < Lenient < Moderate < Tricky
Simple < Basic < Fair < Lenient < Moderate < Tricky
>> Has some other words used in the old thread and avoids Easy, Light, and Standard.

Easiest < Beginner < Simple < Basic < Moderate < Tricky
Easiest < Beginner < Basic < Lenient < Moderate < Tricky
Beginner < Simple < Fair < Lenient < Moderate < Tricky
>> These are just some options using "Beginner".

Does it even matter? I think it does, but if it would take forever to agree on the little details, well ... that wouldn't be very fun and definitely not worth it.


P.S. I don't know why I didn't think of this until now, but ... how about instead of getting rid of "For ___ Only" we get rid of just the "Only". For Masters, For Gurus. As it's been said, "Master" and "Guru" themselves describe the player, not the difficulty. The files are designed for people of that skill level, and simply removing the "Only" makes it feel less exclusive and discriminative. A player of any skill level could play a hard file and just have fun mashing. ... (Oh, and in case this suggestion gets implemented, "Beginner" should go back to "For Beginners" for consistency.)

Re: 1-13 Difficulty Titles

thinking way too much

and simply removing the "Only" makes it feel less exclusive and discriminative

stop it with this train of thought, if people are going to actually take the "only" thing to heart and call it "discriminative WAAAHH" then they should find a new game or deal wid it. (and no, i'm not just calling you out it's been said a million times, so don't get butthurt <3)

stop overthinking shit uuggghhh

Re: 1-13 Difficulty Titles

I like the idea of removing the "Only". Sounds pretty good.

Re: 1-13 Difficulty Titles

we all know what would happen. people would still write FMO & FGO

Re: 1-13 Difficulty Titles

I like something like "For Prodigies Only"
I like it because prodigy to me implies something of a natural talent - in my opinion, the 90+ range is a range that some people will never be able to do well, even with practice...

Re: 1-13 Difficulty Titles

If you really want to keep it FSO then it could be, For Savant's Only.

Re: 1-13 Difficulty Titles

11 - For Experts Only
12 - For Masters Only
13 - For Gurus Only

Highly agree with this one, but the main issue is definitely the fact that we're all already oriented to FMO/FGOs, it's just really awkward to say "Molto Vivace is an FMO" if you're a long-time member lmao.

I personally don't mind seeing the "For _____ Only" gone, but I'm pretty sure most of us would still use "For _____ Only" anyway, even with that gone. For Savants Only/For Prodigies Only sounds great though. If they want the "F_O" part gone, then Revolutionary or Brutal would be great.
