FFR Suggestions

Re: FFR Suggestions

I hated it how the old challenge system took the credits out of your account the minute you made the challenge. Someone could make a challenge, if the challenge is never answered, you just lost who knows how many credits.

Re: FFR Suggestions

Lethe original engine had challenges, could that be put into R3? You would select challenge, place a wager, then play the song. The opponent could accept or reject the challenge for the same song.

Never even heard of Lethe engine. Would be cool to see something like that implemented, or even just like a daily challenge system for all players of all divisions. Like you get a random daily challenge based on your skill rating and when you complete it, you receive X amount of credits depending on how hard the challenge was. Or FFR trading cards for a special once a week challenge or something like that.

Sorry I typod, I meant the original engine, the legacy engine.

Anyways I have a new suggestion:

Add three rate leaderboards for each song: 1.2x, 1.5x, and 2x, then maybe Rate ranks stats and stuff. That would be cool.

I don't think there'd be many other ways to do it, it wouldn't be possible to apply a scoring multiplier to higher rates since rates affect songs differently. I don't think crafting some sort of scoring equation to reflect performance on different rates would work very well.

2x would make the lower difficulty songs more appealing for a second play for seasoned players. 2x AAA's would probably go all the way up through VCs and maybe low FMOs by D7. It would be cool to see.

Also, why doesn't playing on rates at least give credits?

Re: FFR Suggestions

Another suggestion that we were talking about in the skype chat (actually Dell2150 came up with the suggestion) is to make a mini feature like in SM5 to increase the reading window of FFR. There is nothing of the sort that can make the reading window larger or smaller in R^3 that we know of.

Yes yes yes 100 times yes. I actually saw "FFR Suggestions" in the recent on the left and came here to suggest it.
On Stepmania I play 33% mini now (used to be 40% mini) and I think it'd be awesome if FFR had an x% mini. Either something you could edit or just a few choices. The old engine had a mini (and I believe it was either 100% mini or 200% mini) however it didn't scale the playfield as well. So the ULTRA tiny arrows/receptors were spread miles apart and it was impossible to read. Since R^3 has the receptor spacing, that wouldn't be a problem!

Basically my trouble is.. The screen is too small. I play on x2.3 speed mod. However very dense sections like those in any 89+ (Especially things 300+ bpm like You Time, Eclipse, AT, Rave 7, etc etc) are too smushed and I can't read them well. However, if I increase my speedmod, the arrows are way too fast and I can't read it! So yes plzplzplz x% mini!!!

That seems like it would at least be somewhat easy, idk. And then my second suggestion would be some kind of audio sync feature. Similar to how most rhythm games have, like GH, DDR, SM, osu, and like everything else, where you either play a song or tap to a ticking sound and it adjusts your offset so that you're dead on. I have been having unbelievable amounts of trouble trying to figure out global and judge offsets recently and it's so frustrating that I've quit both tournaments I'm in and stopped playing FFR on several occasions. If those two features were implemented, maybe I'd have a chance at being a real d7 competitor ;p

Re: FFR Suggestions

I remember the "recent posts" list on the left side of the homepage used to be longer and carry more threads. I think posts dropping off there in a couple hours can be completely missed now, where before it took a little longer to be pushed off the homepage.

Re: FFR Suggestions

With the addition of 'Recent Achievements' widget to the front page, I would like to know if it is possible to add Quickdraw to the Token Unlocks?

In my opinion, to FC 50% of the songs in the game is a bit difficult for some players, and it only becomes that much harder when new songs are added. I can attest to this as I unlocked Quickdraw a couple hours ago when I reached 50%. After the new Songs of the Week were posted, I checked my Level Rank and it has naturally decreased to 49.91%.

Re: FFR Suggestions

Investigating the claims against "Here We Go" Token and it should really be changed.

99% of the current total of songs (1742) is 1724.58, meaning in order to barely scrape by the requirements in earning the token, you have to have at least 1724 (if rounded then 1725) FCs in total. This leads into having only 17 non-FC'd scores.

Players have already suggested changing the % from 99 to 90, and this is exactly what should happen because it is more realistic and achievable as the game progresses with more songs. Having the % be at 90 would lead into having to obtain 1567.8 FCs (If rounded 1568 FCs). I believe that if it was set to 90% instead of 99% it would stabilize the amounts of FCs needed to 200 - Maximum amount of FCs achievable.

That said, I think it is much more realistic to set the requirements to 90% of FCs, where you can have ~200 non-FC scores, where as currently you can only have 17 non-FC scores at 99%.

Re: FFR Suggestions

Especially considering the implementation of raw scoring, where non-FCs can overwrite FCs

Re: FFR Suggestions

Not a suggestion but I just wanted to point out something

If you play fiffer while you have level ranks open, it'll automatically update everything as it just did for my 1,300 full combos (I have the tab open for level ranks for average rank clearing).

Now here's a suggestion: please read some of these!

Re: FFR Suggestions

A small suggestion for top 10 level stats

Could we possibly be allowed to add token scores to this list as well?
Currently when you go through the top 10 editor there are no token songs, only public songs.

Re: FFR Suggestions

In line with some of the amazing MA scores OWA has been getting lately, what if we had a top 200 Amazing Count scoreboard for each song? Then there could not only be a AAA rank, but a way to rank accuracy past AAAs.

I know that there are framer issues in FFR, but better players still have better MA and it will show in their skill despite the individual framer issues.

Re: FFR Suggestions

Add the official Facebook and Twitter account besides the Google+ share button on the homepage. (and Youtube when it will be launched)

I'll make a sketch in a few minutes of what it could look like.

Re: FFR Suggestions

Can we add a color blind mode for R^3's menus?

or change some colours up when you mark a box


i know maybe changing the colour might ruin the aesthetic but dam i can't see anything.



edit: also second what noname said

Editedit:
add something similar to what pro chat has for multiplayer indicating who/how many people are in it on the front page.

i think we had this before but maybe we got rid of it cause of the low activity?

Re: FFR Suggestions

I don't know if it's possible or not, but it be awesome if there was an official FFR mobile game. I know there are mobile stepmania clones, but it would be nice to be able to play FFR on the go too. Maybe making a version of the R^3 engine that works on mobile would also work.

Re: FFR Suggestions

Tokens for each division promotion in the FFR Leaderboards. It would unlock your token upon refreshing the leaderboards after a promotion. Would apply this for divisions 2 through 7.
