My statement still stands.

Wow I haven't even seen that post until now. Honestly, I'd much rather this, or my idea. But, I'm leaning more towards this.

Re: "Veteran" Status Discussion

I personality think that veteran status should be something you just "get" after being on a site for a while not something you get and "HOLY SHIT I GET MORE FEATURES" type of thing. In my opinion, most (if not all) of the features you get as a veteran should be features normal users should have access to. I find it really dumb that normal users are not allowed to do something as simple as "viewing other people's level ranks" or "seeing their credit transactions" or EVEN not being able to view the "FFR Top Average Players" list I mean REALLY?

This really needs to change.

This.

Re: "Veteran" Status Discussion

Yeah, the vet status is alright with me the way it is. Although i do think some vet only perks should be more widespread.

What i am interested in is an entirely new status for FFR elitism thats based on skill, and leave veteran where it is. If no one else makes a thread about it i might get some ideas together and do so sooner or later.

Yea I got no problems with the req's, but I mean, really. Regular users can't even look at credit transactions? *sigh*

Re: "Veteran" Status Discussion

About the only thing I'd miss is being able to review the Veteran song file a week before it was released, but that's not the end of the world lmao. Oh God I have to wait a week longer to play one file, better go kill myself.

... It takes 2 weeks in order to have them available for the masses. D:

My statement still stands.

And I actually agree with that post!

Re: "Veteran" Status Discussion

I agree with i love you; it's odd to not have the privilege to view credit transactions or view the top average rank board for non-veterans lol
On the contrary, being able to view other people's ranks should be kept to vets only

Besides, you can check other people's ranks to a certain extent even if you're not veteran using this anyways.

Also, am I qualified for the veteran status?

I totally agree with what you said. Although, I think they changed the credit log thing, because I can view mine and I'm not a veteran.

Definitely, You have over 300 forum posts, over 8 billion pts, been a member for 2 years. You're active most of the time, why wouldn't you qualify.

Re: "Veteran" Status Discussion

Simple fix for this freaking crap: VETERAN IS JUST A TITLE.
Make a NEW TITLE that is the Gaming aspect. Veteran can just be earned for a blue title. No more perks, no more bs whining over the aspects you need, instead just make a damn title like Elite Player that is the Skill aspect to Veteran.

i.e. Veteran = 3 Years, Elite Player = 3B.
Veteran Perks: Blue Name
Elite Player Perks: All that stuff like Compare Level Stats, Credit transaction, avrank "scoreboard", new weekly song (in fact, why is this even happening..).
Stop whining over shit guys.

Re: "Veteran" Status Discussion

If you only use "Member for X years" as a requirement of veteran, it can be improved for the better representation of veteran. If an user created his/her account 5 years ago but has logged on the site only for like 3 times, I doubt it's appropriate to call him/her a veteran.

"Total number of the days the user visited on the site" might be a more accurate parameter, just a bit more complicated technically.

GTS requirement makes up for this issue to some extent.

Re: "Veteran" Status Discussion

While it is more convenient for the coders to use the GTS variable, instead of inventing a Site Visit variable, it's not convenient for players. It's pretty much forcing people to play the game for perks that they shouldn't need to earn, or feeling left out since they don't play the game at all.

Adding those perks to Veterans is pretty bs. Minor perks like a redesigned engine skin, and probaaably even just a token (not skill token) for earning veteran would be better. But things that players should just have access to anyway like Credit Transactions is almost like a slap in the face to players once they find out.
