Total Song Score

Danman123 · 08-9-2007, 05:05 PM

I believe there should be a total song score as a game statistic. It would be the combination of all of your best scores on each song. Of course there would be a hi-score table for the top (insert number here)

Keep in mind that it does not have to be called the "Total Song Score" (couldn't think of anything better), and it is different from the grand total score. So tell me what you think about it, and also tell me if you can think of a better name for it.

Thanks for reading.

Edit: Here's a good idea.

Any feedback?

daikenkaifreak · 08-10-2007, 11:57 AM

i like the idea. i think its cool.

**Zageron** · 08-10-2007, 12:00 PM

Yeah. Though the people with 276/277 AAAs would be on the top of that list...

heyitsmee · 08-10-2007, 12:02 PM

sound cool i wonder what the max score is for all the 277 songs

Yeah, but it gives people who always get blackflags a chance to be in the hi-scores, rather than having to be in the top AAA's.

I was wondering that myself.

beaner692 · 08-10-2007, 12:49 PM

I actually like this idea, think it would be pretty cool

would suck for people like me who dont play all the songs, but yeah

Yeah, I just finished playing all the songs two days ago, I think. Really hard to finish off all those easy songs, especially when trying to AAA them. Gets so annoying...

beaner692 · 08-10-2007, 01:02 PM

well Dan, would this include tokens/skill tokens as well?

**sarahxjane** · 08-10-2007, 01:05 PM

I totally agree with this idea =]

No, just the 277.

Bump - Sorry for double post.

**Xception704** · 08-15-2007, 08:29 PM

Sounds alright ... don't really see a need for it. =\

Mookage · 08-15-2007, 09:30 PM

Sounds like a good idea. Now we just have to get a MOD to support the idea.

y0ttabyte · 08-15-2007, 10:19 PM

It seems like a bit of an arbitrary statistic... And the fact that getting 1,000,000 on an easy song has a totally different meaning to getting 1,000,000 on an FMO song, for example. So it's a bit unweighted also.

Engler · 08-15-2007, 10:22 PM

I'm going to have to agree with y0tta. The whole idea seems a little unnecessary/pointless to me.

Roy Campbell · 08-16-2007, 12:49 AM

I also agree with y0tta, it would be weighted too heavily towards easy songs. Now if hard songs could be weighted more heavily... THEN maybe this would be a good idea. Ie. Easiest songs have multiplier of 1 and FGO songs have multiplier of 12.

spinal_compression · 08-16-2007, 06:57 PM

As I say. This is not needed.

But it would be neato.

**devonin** · 08-16-2007, 07:42 PM

When you consider that a game like this is largely static in progression (new songs get added, but there aren't massive major gameplay effecting changes like there are on say, MMOs) you get a lot of user burnout/boredom.

Statistically, the most time:benefit method for owners of a game to encourage repeat play, and a growing playerbase, especially one where the game isn't the kind where "new major content" is really something you can do, is to increase as much as possible the number of visible goals for players to work towards.

How much more play did the site get when levelrank.php was something everyone could see? How much more play is it getting now that the AAA/FC bar is visible in profiles? Regional stats? I bet in all those cases it is "Measureably more"

The more stats they throw at us, the more numbers we can try to maximize/minimize, the more we'll want to play.

Now there's an idea.

It gives people a reason to play, to set another goal. So that's a good thing, I guess.
