If I see a "Dossar Only" difficulty rating in the engine, I will quit FFR.

My suggestions. I made every difficulty just one word to make it more diverse.

My only opinion: plz don't use for stepman only or demandin/very demanding, they sound stupid lol

Don't worry wilson. You most certainly won't see something like that being accepted as a difficulty term.

Very nice! Not a word you see thrown around very often these days.

I would much prefer that it wasn't used, it was pretty much a placeholder for the existing difficulty as 19's in this system will encompass the current 13s and a few of the very very high 12's. No-one involved in the creation of this new system is a fan of it, and with as many awesome suggestions that I am seeing here, it will most certainly be replaced with something more adequate~

I hope people realise dossar only was a joke XD

I guess it would be best to see which difficulty names are being brought up the most and focus more on those. Although, what you guys should have done first was determine if majority of the community would prefer not having certain names as difficulties (Example: "Very ____" names or "For ____ Only" names etc). It is far more effective to take things step by step by first seeing what the community wants/does not want before having them actually start naming difficulty names. That way the community would have more of an idea of what majority of people agreed/disagreed to and they will come up with better difficulty names based on what the community wanted.

At least...that is what I would have done anyway but carry on hehe

PS: I have not been typing long sentences in english for a while so I apologise in advance if I did not make any sense.

[i will pwn u]

I kinda agree with you rebound because i am not real keen on having very or F _ O names in the game. To me they just sound so unoriginal when there is plenty of other words that can be used as we have seen. I dont particularly have a list to submit but i think what subin wrote about the different levels kinda correlating to ranks was interesting and gives a sense of accomplishment as you get better. I also agree with silvuh on the higher end ones because of the views he stated. And lastly i agree with not adding anything that has to do with standard/heavy/oni because like someone else said the ranges vary so much. my 2 ¢

[Coolboyrulez0]

I would say I'm one of the few who is indifferent as long is the numeric rating is intact, the naming scheme can be whatever.

Glad to finally see the Difficulty Reform happening :')

I'm not gonna suggest a new list of names, and here's why.

For many years, people have talked about songs in terms of the old names - VD, C, VC, FMO, FGO, whatever. I think those old discussions should still make some sense with the new system. If the old names still apply to the new system, it will be easy for everyone to understand and we won't need tons of explanations about how to convert from an old VC into the new system.

So my suggestion is simple: figure out which new difficulties roughly correspond with the old ones, and then just bring the names over. It's fine if something like VC or FMO spans more than one difficulty number.

I kinda was thinking the same thing as this.

I agree with this. I do however request a name change for the "F_O" and "very" difficulties for reasons stated already.

I agree. This is why there is no F_O trademark in my list.

Out of the entire thread so far, i think these are some of the best choices (imo).

I also agree that the F_O system should be changed. Giving each difficulty a specific/unique name kind of gives meaning to where you stand in terms of your own level/skill, like what Xayphon said, the leveling up idea, it has an "accomplished" feeling to it. Creates more motivation so to speak.
