{Rant Alert} New Difficulty changes.

[t-rogdor]

{Begin Rant}

Okay, Since the FMO/FGO event, i noticed that song difficulty juding has been wavering on the F*** rediculus files with like, 10000000 jacks in them becoming the FGO's and the Same songs with like, 15 less jacks are the new FMOs. SO, after the songs from the event, such as Mario minor, Death Piano, and Eclipse (Sloar), were moved out of Hip-Hop, something happened.

I know im not the only one to notice this, As Vertex Beta, Sympathysiser, BB Revenge, Baloon Fever, etc. have all been knocked down a level. Vertex Beta a VC? WHAT THE F***? BB revenge an FMO? You guys are on crack! This is insane. BB revenge is still one of the harder songs i've played in a while. Seriously, what the HELL FFRulers (Admins, etc.)? Have you gone INSANE? Is this new mentaility for FGOs and FMOs going to change alot? YES. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? That's F***ed up man.

{End Rant}

Things like this should be kept to your profile. I agree, but this is not the place to post rants. Make it a random thought.

Re: {Rant Alert} New Difficulty changes.

I personally like the new difficulty changes. You don't seem to appreciate what these guys are trying to do. FFR is an extremely easy game for a lot of people, so they are trying to incorporate harder songs into the game (especially after the av-miss fix) to make this appeal to the more hardcore rhythm gamers that find everything else too easy. Too be honest, I wanna see an FFR where VB is only a VC song because there are so many more complicated songs available, but that's just me.

Re: {Rant Alert} New Difficulty changes.

IMO those fixes were right and the songs are as they should be now!

Yes, if you think in terms of hitting all the notes. But with PA, it is an FMO. Less than 40 people have AAA'd it. So only 40 people are true hardcore gamers. I truly and full-heartedly disagree.

Re: {Rant Alert} New Difficulty changes.

The only one I strongly disagree with is Vertex Beta. It's 200BPM stream with trills and jumps for 3+ minutes. It is low FMO in my humble opinion.

As for the rest of the changes...well...they're correct. You may not like them, t-rogdor, but with the avmiss fix out, and framers no longer an issue, these songs are not as difficult as they once were.

Re: {Rant Alert} New Difficulty changes.

They're called "For Masters Only", not "For people who are half-way decent at this game" Only. The new difficulty changes are fine the way they are.

Re: {Rant Alert} New Difficulty changes.

I agree with some of them. Others (such as VB) are a different story. :/

Re: {Rant Alert} New Difficulty changes.

Rants don't really belong on the forum at all. Posts about the changes to difficulty in the game belong in the Song Difficulty thread.

Needless to say, more people need to realise that a much smaller percentage of the game's population can actually accurately call themselves a master or guru player. What exactly does the listed difficulty of a song even matter?

If you can do well on the song, you can do well on the song, I completely fail to understand how you could possibly be -ANGRY- about the fact that the meaningless label on a song has been modified to be more in line with the comparative difficulty of other songs.

Do you become a worse player because Vertex Beta is a VC now? Are you actually made less skilled?

No, you can't get oni now.

By the way, if you post it as a random thought, or in the difficulties thread, it doesn't get noticed. This does.

rofl thread owned by Devo, but I still want to inject my opinion on this matter as well.

I wholeheartedly welcome the new FMO and FGO songs, especially Reality. FFR has been getting a little too easy, and I think it's about time they ramped up the difficulty of the songs. The meaningless labels need to become more meaningful through the increasing difficulty of songs that are being added.

Actually, I want to see something much, much harder than Reality in the game. Quite frankly, FFR could use a song that makes expert SM players piss their pants.

Re: {Rant Alert} New Difficulty changes.

I think it is only fair that you not get Oni on them anymore. The factors in the song that made them appropriately difficult don't apply anymore, and it would be unfair to make getting that token easier, especially in light of the extent to which people like to brag about getting it.

If the scale is from 1-100 where 1 is the easiest song and 100 is the hardest song, the scale is going to slide and need adjusting as new things are put in that are easier than current 1s and harder than current 100s.

Ranting about it, with nothing at all constructive to say, is just whining.

When you're done whining, and actually have say...an alternative to suggest, the song difficulties thread is where it belongs.

Re: {Rant Alert} New Difficulty changes.

How about this.... you're wrong. With the avmiss fix, those songs that were made VC just aren't FMO anymore. They were made low FMOs because of their framer issues... without the framer issues, they aren't nearly as hard.

VB for example: pre-fix, I'd have to mash the 1-handed trills and play way early... and would still usually get 1-2 misses. PA would be in the 40s or 50s. Post-fix, I can get the 1-handed trills with 1 hand, no mashing. I FC just about every single time. And my PA is getting damn close to a SDG, never over 20.

Re: {Rant Alert} New Difficulty changes.

what Tass said.

and please get better at judging the difficulty of harder songs before making a thread about it.
