The official 3rd Style thread

[aperson]

There's virtually no development on 3rd style because FFR doesn't have their shit together.

kinda figured :/

What staff beta

Wouldn't it be an alpha since it's not a public release yet?

This whole site doesn't follow any other kind of development protocol or documentation scheme on any language or platform for which they develop, so why should they use the proper term for that either.

The only thing that isn't coded on this site laughably bad is r2.

In all seriousness, ap, start a rival website. Forums optional. I just need a new online game to play =D

I think it's pretty clear that all the high score owners are the only ones who're fighting to keep the game the way it is now. They're obviously afraid of competition based on the fact that they somehow find themselves superior because they can play a totally out of sync game on C300.

It is true, PA'ing on C300 is much harder than PA'ing on 3x or 4x or C600 or w/e. But just because that could be implemented doesn't mean the challenge is gone. What would be gone though, would be 10 or so people constantly owning high scores due to the fact that these are the people who have sat around all day throwing all sense of sync out the window and have learned to play songs that are just well... horribly synced. The NEW challenge would become COMPETING FOR HIGH SCORES WITH OTHER PLAYERS. Um... is it just me, or was this NOT the original idea for the game?

I agree with a few of the changes. Boos when there is nothing there is stupid. It doesn't make the game original, it shows a retarded coding scheme. Take that out.

and most importantly, RESYNC EVERY SONG PROPERLY. There's nothing worse than playing a MUSIC AND RHYTHM GAME to arrows that aren't even synced to the MUSIC. It's just completely retarded and should've been fixed long, long ago.

Add speed mods. I think it would be cool if you were required to unlock each mod seperately, plus it would allow the whiners to remain on the high score lists for a bit longer. "But the people will just buy them with their 324324645367547687645 credits right away!" O rly? reset everyone's credit count to 0. It's not like people don't play all day long anyways. And, once again, this will allow the whiners to keep their high scores for a bit longer.

Now, if the whiners are STILL whining about not being the best anymore, implement a seperate high scores list for the speed mods. That way the whiners can still enjoy the fact that they think they're better based on playing slow.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
change away
i think you've heard us say dont bitch about n ot being able to play without speedmods, i dont think any of us have ever been against the implementation of speedmods though.
whatever, change away, it cant get worse.

[iwishiknew]

you know an easy way to stop people from cheating using speed mods would be to simply have them modify the score.......

.5 times the normal speed= .5 times the normal score
1 times the normal speed= 1 times the normal score
1.5 times the normal speed= 1.5 times the normal score

and so on

Ps. Where are these screenshots?

[talisman]

Yeah dude that wouldn't work. First off the vast majority of the community considers speed mods perfectly legit and second off alot of people would do better with them on than off so your system of weighting higher speed mods with higher values would be counterproductive.

[nforcer06164]

1.5 speed may make some songs easier rather than harder. .5 speed generally makes songs harder. So a scoring based on speed mods really wouldn't work, as Talisman said. Plus, if all the songs are on C300, where's the need for speed mods?

And there are no screenshots. Chardish posted some, but LD caught them, because they weren't supposed to be up, and deleted them. Very few people (if any), saw them. The whole thing is tightly under wraps.

[Chromer]

I remember seeing them before LD went all Nazi on us.

[aperson]

They weren't even functional code anyway, just screenshots. Yes, the graphics look very nice. Chardish did an ace job on them.

[female]

If there's "Virtually no development to 3rd style" except for the graphics, and none of the things LD keeps implying will be fixed in 3rd style, such as a bunch of the multiplayer bugs, not very many people are going to be pleased. lol

Meh. I think ap is just trying to get people riled up by exaggerating how little work is done with it.

Or I'm just pissed off myself at how little visible work is being done on 3rd Style.
