First Update of R2

[emccky]

The first update of R2 happened today, adressing a couple issues. Still nothing about reverse, but I suppose its a start.

[fusi0n]

It's not a start until they put in reverse :)

[lightdarkness]

Some bugs need to be sorted out before new features are put in.

[emccky]

I think allowing people to play is more of a bug then seeing an AAA as AA or something :/

[lightdarkness]

emccky, stop turning every thread into a compliant that there is no reverse.

We are fixing things that are wrong with it first, then we will work on features.

Let me ask you something, say you make a car for the US (aka steering wheel on the left), and it has some kinks in it? Should we go ahead and make the European version (right side) first, or should we fix the problems with the US car first.

Trash it. American cars suck.

[emccky]

Who the **** cares about Europe? Anyways, this is preventing people from playing the game. Seriously, it's a bigger problem then you think. It's like saying Here, I give you a car. But no drivers license.

[soccr743]

Since not many people play with reverse it is not at the top of the list. Just deal with that fact and learn to play with the arrows going up for now.

And yea stop complaining about it in every thread.

-----Soccr743-----

[emccky]

Have you not seen all the people asking about reverse in a lot of threads? And no, I will not change the way I play because it isn't added to this game yet. That's like saying one handers need to all change to 2 hands because they will never be as good as 2 handers.

[flypie743]

Emccky, it will be added in time. You bringing it up in every thread doesn't help it come any faster. In fact, you are annoying a lot of the R2 Team by pestering us about when it is coming. Just wait.

[gamesk8er]

and i play one handed and i need to change to two handed cuz i wont ever be as good...duh dude. stop complaining.

[Kenzya]

I use hidden and I actually can't play the harder songs well without it. I asked for it on two different occasions.. Not in every thread -.-

Yeah, I know at least three other people who use hidden too.

[Afrobean]

Who the $*%# cares about Europe?
Do you realize that in the analogy that LD said, you are Europe?

[emccky]

It was a horrible analogy. I was saying Americans don't put models of cars out into Europe. A better analogy would be, America makes X amount of cars, and only gives keys to half of the people that buy it. The other half in this case are reverse players.

However, half the of the people playing R2 don't normally use reverse, so that is a bad analogy.

That doesn't sound right.. It would be more like. Everyone got a key, but half the people got a key for the wrong car. Which wouldn't really wouldn't make sense. So, basically.. that analogy sucks.

Oh I know! America makes X amount of cars, and gives keys to all of the people. Some can only function upside down so they can't get it to work. lolol

[Moogy]

Reverse is retarded sorry

[RisqR2]

Seconded.

[emccky]

One handed is retarded, sorry.

[flypie743]

One handed is retarded, sorry.

That's ok. I forgive you.

[omgwtfToph]

No one plays reverse except nerds who stay cooped up around their computers and are allergic to sunlight.

All the normal people play normal scroll, which is why it's called normal scroll.

Silly.

It's far more important to fix crucial bugs, aka syncing problems, than to "allow" you guys to play. And by "allow," I mean "cater to your every whim." You can't have everything breast-fed to you, pussies. I know this from real life (OOP-C WHAT'S THAT)

Besides, I can play reverse just fine, so you can learn to play normal.

[tnyhwk900]

Emccky, shut up. Go cheat on SM or something.

[Synthlight]

We will be looking into reverse and WILL get there but are more concerned with serious bugs at this point in time.

Here is a good analogy for the reverse thing. Lets say you have 10,000 people who play an FFR song. It would be like me sorting the database entries by play type and seeing that less than one half of one percent play it on reverse scroll and then reversing the sort order for the hell of it and seeing that 99.75% of the people play it normal.

Cheers,

Synthlight

[fusi0n]

Reverse is retarded because? Oh tha'ts right there is no reason why it's retarded.

[RisqR2]

Because its upside down, people need to learn to play a videogame/simulation the default way instead of feeling like they DESERVE to be able to play however they want.

Quoted for truth.

Quoted for emphasis.

[Synthlight]

actually.. I had a typo in there.. Less than one half of 1 percent play it on reverse.

[emccky]

Oh man, I got excited because I thought reverse had been implemented, but I misread :(. Atleast movin in the right direction I suppose.

[jday2]

this is off topic but when playing R2 i noticed that while the letter is scrolling AAAA is an option.... is that possible

[flypie743]

AAAA is when you get all marvelous.

[Velious]

Because its upside down, people need to learn to play a videogame/simulation the default way instead of feeling like they DESERVE to be able to play however they want.

youre ****ing retarted, i played IIDX and PNM before i ever tapped a key in stepmania, both which scroll down, so plz stfu

[Chromer]

Think of it like this:

Whats more important at the moment? Online Multiplayer and better R2 improvements? Or stupid, retarded, reverse scroll that Synth so adequately put it, "only 1/2 of 1% of people play"?

[Blox]

Well you have to consider if it is really 1/2 of 1%. You figure, while I'm not SURE on this, I think that upwards scrolling is automatically defined to every person who signs up. So that means that there are thousands of unused accounts in the database, which increases the total by a LARGE amount. Plus, there are tons of people who play once or twice and leave (FFR use to force you to sign up at some point, didn't it?) and only played standard scrolling because thats the way the game set it up automatically anyway. So really if you'd eliminate all the non-player's or brief-player's accounts, I'm sure the percentile of reverse players would jack up slightly into a more single-digit amount.

Of course, it would still be a ridiculously... ridiculously low, single digit amount. So ridiculously low, it still probably wouldn't be worth catering too. As a reverse player myself I'm perfectly content waiting for all the bugs to be fixed until reverse is implemented. I just thought about the statistics and felt the need to defend them.

[emccky]

I don't mind because stepmania owns.

[fenixflamefox]

This could be the most effing retarded discussion I have ever read. And having been through these forums, I've seen a LOT of stupid discussions. Shut up about everything, crap will be put in WHEN IT IS PUT IN and not sooner. Now all of you go away and return to losing at life.

[Rebirth0]

Its called discussing what has been updated. Why don't you shut up. Don't reply, this is a perfectly fine topic and I wouldn't want it to get locked. You got a problem PM me.

[flypie743]

You got a problem PM me.

lolo gamepro = new mod

[Chromer]

w00t Fenix just got served son.
