More masking

**MaxGhost** · 05-28-2008, 04:32 PM

I'm really happy you guys added masking for multiplayer, but it would be also really cool if we could have full masking of backgrounds in singleplayer in a future release... it's extremely distracting and it lags my computer when I play (yeah I know my computer sucks...) and I'm sure it does it for others too, especially moving backgrounds like Legend Of Zelda Remix and Malt Balls for example. I know it acts as a type of advertising for some bands and stuff, but for the other ones that just show random pictures and do big flashes of light at certain points, it really should be an option. In Malt Balls, there's a huge white flash each time the background image changes and it seriously hurts my eyes and I miss the next 2-3 arrows right after each time. I did manage to FC it after a while, but it's terrible!

I'm very familiar with Flash (the program) and I personally know it's really easy to add in that kind of function in the settings.

Thanks for reading this I really hope you add this in a future release of FFR!

A dedicated player,

This has been brought up many times. It is not going to happen. Backgrounds add difficulty to songs, and it shows what FFR used to be.

What I don't understand is that it adds lag and slows down the game, which really shouldn't be considered as difficulty cause it just makes you miss arrows even if you hit at the right time... I don't see why having backgrounds really matters other than that... it should be the player's choice if they want to care about the past of FFR. I also don'T get how having the game blind you momentarily (like in Malt Balls) adds difficulty either... so your just supposed to ignore being blind for a fraction of a second? I find it just ridiculous...

Some players on this site have already AAA'd the songs you mentioned. I am surprised you did not say P4U. -_-

It adds difficulty because it's harder to see which means you have to focus more thus adding difficulty. No matter how many arguments you bring up, Synthlight has already refused this idea. The game is free, and please just be happy with that. 10 or so songs out of 600 have annoying backgrounds, right?
