Credits System

Exag0n · 01-14-2007, 10:47 AM

So, I like the new credits system going up to 40 and all, but why cap it at 40? Unless there's a special reason (a 40-credit cap seems no different from a 25-credit cap, to be honest), why not uncap it? Is there anything inherently bad about getting over 90 credits for FCing Pants?

I just personally felt much more inclined to play the longer songs when I would actually be getting the "correct" number of credits.

a few things about it.

1. capping at 40 credits isn't final, and synth is seeking everyone's opinion about it.
2. currently most people don't agree with the capping, including me.
3. there're bunch of topics about it.

i would love for the cap to be taken off also. it would make me wanna play ffr more cu si would build up my credits faster

I only see pluses to removing the cap. I even just thought up another one. It would make it some some people wouldn't ask for credits as much. I'm way too tired of people asking fore credits, and, with all the new secret songs, it's probably going to get worse.

You make a very valid point. Though...What songs are newbs gonna play that give over 40? Much less even 25 credits? I rarely get over 17-18 credits a song, and I regularly play challenging and VD...

They would still ask for the credits. A LOT. *shrugs*

Once there's a secret song that requires 100,000 credits, though, there will be some pretty highly experienced players that still don't have enough for all the secret songs, especially after buying all the purchased songs, which there will be even more of in 3rd style. Plus, it will be a lot easier to score high enough for over 40 credits in 3rd style.

Edit: and even if 3rd style is miles away, there will still be secret songs requiring huge numbers of credits in the near future, and there will still be people good enough to earn more than 40 credits in one song that still need a lot more.

there are only about 20 songs that go over the cap of 40 (aka, songs where you can get more than 2 million points)...

most obvious is Max Forever. and unless you can FC Pants. other than that, no song would have more than about 48 or 50 (KK04, both Rondo's)

Well, the fact that everyone loves credits, so says synth, why a cap?

And the fact that you release more secret songs that require more credits than so many people can accumulate in a couple of months that play really, really bugs me. And discourages those who want to play the newest secret song, even if they play so much, just barely get a chance to play it, just to get shot down with another?, some see this as a challenge, some a tease, some don't care, and, for what I see most, frustration.

Take my bro for example, once had a locked account (didn't understand), luckily sent a challenge to me because I said I'd give some credits, sent another to someone else for more, bought a song, lost, and locked. I unlocked, because he wanted to play more, but was really pissed on how that worked. But thats fixed now, and he worked his way up to play some of the higher up secrets. Now he hates the fact that another song is 25k, he was just getting over Station being there, and now he just plays when his friends without AIM are on.

Now, the illegal credits thing had to happen, but releasing a song soon after for so much is pushing past the edge. I think that the credits from like challenging or very challenging+ should be increased further, like 30 to the mil.

Personally, I just barely got to play summer, and I may not be able to play the next until the one after comes, at this rate, only you guys in the top 100 will be able to keep up with the songs, so I say, either chill with the secret songs or give us what we want!

Umm why?

I completely agree that there should be no cap. There's really no point to have a cap in the first place anyway.

Umm, because there are going to be speed mods.
