Suggestion - Player Offset (Gap) Modifier?

[Neonatrias]

Okay, so I have this problem.

My keyboard lags. I mean it lags. Makes things hard to play properly when you have to hit an arrow a solid fifth of a second early.

I've brought this up once before, but I don't remember where or when. There really should be a way to tweak the offset of a song just slightly on the player side.

I can only assume by the lack of such a feature that it's either:
1) Too difficult to incorporate.
2) Not a widespread problem.

I play FFR to the music, not to just what I see in front of me. It'd really be nice to be able to do that and AAA some stuff. =(

I think it would take away from the game *slightly*. Some songs are based on the offsync factor and that somewhat determines the difficulty. People would exploit the feature to play them onsync and get better scores rather than practicing them for some hard earned credit.

If it is a keyboard problem, then I suggest investing a few bucks in a new one.

None the less, this still is a good idea, but the chances of it happening will be low.

Lol, thats true. Either way the issue should not be fixed.

I'm using a $50 USB keyboard, it's more of a computer issue since I'm on a laptop. If it were that simple to fix I'd have already done it. =P

And despite the "charm" that some of the old off-sync songs have, that doesn't make them any less annoying to play (IMO).

i could see this being a 3rd style feature, for sure.

Lol I was going to suggest this not because my keyboard lags, but because many of the songs feel really offsync to me, and if no one is going to change them I would want to myself.
