New Difficulty System Name Suggestions

Re: New Difficulty System Name Suggestions

I took a different approach to the rating-scale. There are no similar couplets in this list (eg. Master, Grandmaster).

I spent a long time on this. Hope you guys like it :)

01- Beginner
02- Recruit
03- Amateur
04- Novice
05- Trainee
06- Apprentice
07- Junior
08-Senior
09- Expert
10- Professional
---
11- Champion
12- Elite
13- Prodigy
14- Veteran
15-Master
16- Guru
17- Savant
18-Legend
19- Divine
20- For Virgins Only (I'm kidding, a "???" would be appropriate).

I really like these. It does give a sense of accomplishment like TK said and it does give more motivation. I can see this one working.

Subin, your list looks very professional, you got my +1. I enjoy how you created the almost "school system" type of levels through 1-10 also.

Re: New Difficulty System Name Suggestions

If we were to adopt subin's list, the next question we need to look at is what files are considered "Legend, etc." Not only do we run into the problem of giving each file a numerical difficulty, but we need to make sure the names of those difficulties do indeed match up to the file's difficulty.

We could foolishly convert the 1-13 scale to the 1-20 scale where 1 --> 1 and 13 ---> 20 uniformly, but that would imply that a current 6 is considered "Professional/Champion". I'm sure most of you would disagree with that. What difficulty best matches the qualities of a "champion"? etc.

EDIT: I think qqwref's idea avoids all of this. But I really do like subin's adjective choices :((

Re: New Difficulty System Name Suggestions

The current 1-8's will be the new 1-10's. With the current 9+ difficulties filling the new 11+ area. Keeping in mind that the current ratio of 9:10:11:12's is 3:3:2:1, and that there will be better division of the upper tier files, so we're looking at high VCs and the lowest FMOs in the current system sitting in the FEO (difficulty 15) range, and the high FMOs and lowest FGOs sitting in the new FGO (difficulty 17) range.

Also requesting all the [heavy]s and [oni]s be taken off everything to be replaced by either nothing or v1, v2, etc. if there's multiple versions.

Re: New Difficulty System Name Suggestions

Here's my issue with Subin's (no offense meant of course) Words like trainee and recruit and such to me would be good for ranks for a person, but to me sounds silly for song difficulties.

Re: New Difficulty System Name Suggestions

I like the For w/e only, just because they are cool acronyms. :P

Same here. They would be great for some sort of ranking system, but I don't see them as song difficulties.

To be honest though, I'm indifferent to what the names are. As long as the number rankings are good then I'm fine.

Alternatively just have tiers. Tier20 being the easiest and tier1 being the hardest

Re: New Difficulty System Name Suggestions

Lists so far are descriptive and appropriate, but horribly boring. I want to see a list that starts at 01-Potato and ends at 20-Michael J. Fox. Someone, please.
