    Same level...different difficulty?

    Okay, so this has probably been said many times in the forum
    but the truth is i'm not an active FFR forum member
    And i don't really wish to go through 72+ pages of posts looking for this
    So i'll say it anyway

    When i first joined FFR (2.48 years ago) most songs labled "Tricky" or "Challenging" were...not too bad. And still, those songs are pretty easy. But i'v recently noticed that new song releases under titles like "Tricky" and "Challenging" are MUCH harder then those from back in the day

    Imho, this is kinda bad, as i know that back then i liked to know what level i was on, where as now i wouldn't have a clue seeing as all the same level songs seem to be of different difficulties.

    Maybe this is because the FFR community is getting a lot better at the game, but still the difficulties should be kept about the same level, and maybe new ones introcuded.


    -------------------------------------------------

    Also, now that many players are able to pass most songs on the game, the main thing needed are Speed Mods. This is where i'm guessing1,000,000 posts have been made about it, but i was wondering:

    Is there actually a reason why the speed mods aren't out? Or is it because the FFR coding staff are busy with other projects like SIU? I'm pretty sure i speak for many when i say the release of speed mods would be much more helpful then improvements to SIU atm.

    Anyway the first part was my main point.
    If the second point has been mentioned many times, don't flame me...i just added it anyway.

    Here's an idea branching off:
    1. Find a way to count the arrows
    2. Take the total song time / # arrows
    3. Determine difficulty by comparing the result with a table
    This doesn't take things like jacks into consideration though. I think something like this would make songs like Caprice into Guru's Only.

      We could determine difficulty with DIS:

      I'm guessing they're going to introduce tons of **** in 3rd style, so until then they aren't modifying anything.
      hehe
