    Re: Starman requirement thread.

    I've been very disappointed with skill tokens in the last couple of days... I wouldn't mind if they were hard but if they actually took skill which would give me something to aspire to... not to mash averages or goods :/

      Witch, I'm behind you all the way on all you said.

      The requirement is tough, but do-able, as retarded and unenjoyable as it was to do.

      It wouldn't be fair to take from us what we actually got.

      How would everyone like it if I took their Midnight token away, huh? Rofl.

      You're probably thinking, "Well, that's different, Midnight takes skill."

      This one takes patience. I now think both are important qualities in developing skill. =)

        Well...you are right.

        I'm sure everyone finds themselves frustrated to hell trying to get some of these tokens. And yeah... I myself CANT even get Piano Etude's skill token, but if every skill token was just to AAA or FC a song, that certain "challenge" and determination would be taken away.

        I think it's just harder on the more skilled players because we're used to achieving everything in this game for granted. So when something that we struggle on comes around, we freak out. =\

          Also, I'm sure they could give something cool to those who would be upset by a change in the requirements for this particular skill token (because they've already unlocked it), as consolation of sorts. There are what- 8 people who have managed to unlock this? 8 more people to have vrofl, I guess. It's not my say but I'm sure it's good enough.

          ONLY The people who have unlocked the token would be against changing the req though. That's 10 people against 1 million.

          PM me if you find the secret.

            That's also :

            10 dedicated FFR players against 1 million, a majority who also are dedicated, but couldn't manage to do it on the night of the release.

            I say 10 people win.

              I killed 45 babies and 13 toddlers because of this token.


              But I got it, so Anybody 4 and under is now safe.

                How can you tell how many have the token? All of the skill token/game level pages have been dead for hours.

                  I really think that these new tokens are really actually based on luck, not skill.

It is not fun to attempt to get beyond terrible accuracy on a song that has less than two arrows a second. If the game was about that, I would never have played more than one game of it.

                    What on earth is the point of a skill token that isn't fun to get? 99.9% of people will absolutely hate trying to get this, so why should it exist at all?
                    I personally think that working hard at a song and succeeding in whatever way possible, is fun. I had to play Mario 330+ times to get the token, and when I finally got it, I was very pleased. Maybe it's just that I enjoy this game too much to feel petty over a skill requirement that's a bit more difficult than others.

                    But I think the feeling you get after all that is well worth all the work you put into it. I guess that's just my opinion then.

                    Also, since I last checked, at least 16 people had played Starman. If FFR wasn't being ****ed up right now, we would be able to see how many people have actually gotten this skill token. If people can get it, that should be more incentive for others to get it as well. The token is not IMPOSSIBLE.

                      I am not opposed to this at all, provided that it's not a particularly high number. However, it looks like it might be, which would make it not work.

                      Actually, I have an idea, will post in a sec.

                      Wow, agreeing with you twice in one day, that's pretty nuts, eh?

                        But...I'd rather have a cool Mario song than a dumb mash-fest.

                        Just saying. =)

                                I can't emphasize this enough: these "Skill" token reqs are shit.
                                I've only had fun getting a few of the tokens that actually require skill.
                                i.e. ESC-Super Vision 2 goods or less, Demon Fire 600+ combo, Destiny perf/miss, etc.

                                Those skill token requirements were fun and challenging. You have to actually have skill in order to get them.

                                *Edit* And by skill I mean that which you practice countless hours to obtain. Getting better PA, AAA's, and FC's.
