Completely Revised Official Tier Point System

[I like it]

been looking forward to this for a while :')

[i will pwn u]

any idea when this is gonna be working?

[i love you]

Whenever Zageron and Velocity are done with it. Probably will be a while but who knows! :3

This is probably a stupid question and I'm sorry if this was answered somewhere but I was unable to find it. Anyway I was just wondering what it means on the top of the tier point page, where it says "Tier Points: 120 (119 +1 for 380 AAAs)" I just got my 380th (351st Public) AAA and when I checked my tier point page I had that "+1" I was just wondering what exactly determines this increment.

[SK8R43]

After a certain point, once you reach enough AAA's it will start saying +1 for every 50 AAA's you get or something like that. Not sure its 50 but probably pretty close to that lol (could be every 25)

Edit: Mines
Tier Points: 126 (103 + 23 for 708 AAAs) | Max Tier Points: 729
lol

[DissonantMuse]

Ah, I see. I figured it was something like that lol. Anyway, thanks! I was just pretty surprised when I saw that the number was something other than zero. XD

Wow after Zageron's post i'm extremely excited for the new system haha raw scoring too

[i love you]

I have a good feeling that this system will be finished sometime this summer. I think it is better this way seeing that most people in this community usually have much more free time during that time of the year. I am not trying to discourage people or anything but lets face it, people are busier then ever these days since most members on this site are actually getting to the point where they are either about to enter college, still in college, or finished college and are too busy working and living their own lives.

This community is important and all but keep in mind that we are very limited on coders who have free time and all we can really do as a community is wait for them to get it done. Staff members could actually take it a step further by having a discussion or something that has to do with appointing new people with more free time to help out with the site and getting rid of the people who are still in staff but are no longer active to this community. It would speed things up and more would be accomplished.

What will happen with The Final Fantasy in the Difficult list, since it was moved up to VD?

[i love you]

We will update/recheck the entire list once the system is up and running on FFR. We are still waiting on Velocity and Zageron to finish their TP project and I have a good feeling that it will be finished sometime during this summer.

We'll be mixing up the styling quite a bit, and using some jQuery to make it fancy.

I have no clue about the migration to this site, as Velocity said he will do it.

#transparency

The manager isn't done, but one will be made native on this site.
There might be a front page announcement when the system is activated here.

Again, I warn you all that the tier points will NOT reflect RAW high-scores. They will take the accuracy values from combo based high-scores, and calculate the raw.
(This will be fixed eventually)

I think what this last part means is that it'll read level ranks and calculate the raw score from the step counts. For example, take my recent 4-0-0-1 run of Starwolf. The tier point reader sees 1151-4-0-0-1 and does the following:

1151*50=57550
4*25=100
0*5=0
0*-10=0
1*-5=-5

57550+100+0+0+(-5)=57645 to get my raw score.

cool I like the sound of this, I was actually a little conerned that by the time the list was actually on the site it would be a little out dated again with songs.

plz get done soon

[DossarLX ODI]

The problem is that Zageron hasn't been updating us on how much has been done concerning the implementing of the new TP system. We have the lists and code from reuben etc. but no status updates.

I don't know how much profile stalking you guys do, but Zageron has stepped down from his official administration and moderating positions for the moment to focus on other things. I don't know what Velo's status is regarding this, but I know he's busy recoding R^2 in AS3 and (don't quote me on this) has taken the video chat code that Zag had done so far (I AM NOT SAYING HE'S WORKING ON IT, HE JUST HAS IT) so I don't really know what Velo's intentions or priorities on it are. We'll have to wait and see I suppose. Just thought I'd fill in what I could.

[Velocity]

It's been done for awhile. It'll be released soon enough.
