For MP this would work. But for Single player.
And the bar's would show dips if you hit anything except for a perfect.
It imitates your life bar, but in this case we could have every note in a song represent one segment of the bar and possibly just have the segments be color coordinated.
Instead of player 1+2 in this SS.
We could just have it be either:
1)Current Run and Best Run
or
2)One Block In the middle with 2 comumns for current and best run.
i could work a rough pic in PS if need be, but my skills are lacking.

Even something like this from ITG would be kinda cool.

Its says 'Central America' in the Regions Leaderboards page, and that's the proper name of that region.

Something like Jubeat (if you guys know what it is). A timeline to show where the dense parts are and whether you hit a perfect or a good or a miss for that bar

I support this +1!!!! I'd love to see an expanded regional ranking system implemented into FFR! :>

Central America is where you live, it's not actually in America, it's Mexico and all the islands.

The United States aren't America. America is America, and the United States and Mexico are both in it.

ok after reading your last post I noticed that you named one of the regions center of america, so it was my mistake.

But still Central America is part of 'America'. I think what you are trying to say is

This is what I was trying to say :P USA has a bunch of regions because it has the most players, that's why it's divided up already.

I just shorthand United States as America instead of USA. Habit.

I'm sure this has been suggested before, but maybe some difficult alternate veteran requirements like (3 billion GTS AND 3 years) OR 15 billion GTS OR 5 (6?) years, because they're obviously committed to the site if they get any of these requirements.

Been mentioned a lot actually, but have yet to be addressed by staff that can have impact on it.

I'll tell you straight up, if/when another type of veteran status is implemented the requirements will not be public and will have nothing to do with the game.

That kinda sounds like it would just be a hassle to players and a burden on the community.

I kinda think 5b, 3y would be better than the 3y, 3b req. It's way too easy.

Really we need a way for people to achieve it by either score, time, or a combination of both. Because after a certain point it just becomes ridiculous. An avid forum browser who has been around for 7 years but still only has like 1.5bil because they suck and don't want to play much is definitely a Veteran. Similarly, someone who has been around 1 and a half years but already has 5bil is probably ready for Vet status too.

Or <230 avrank achieved in less than a year of actual playing, for example, or hundreds of tiers achieved in just a few days.

GT and join date are pretty much THE two stupidest ways to tell if someone's a vet lol. Either the requirements should be changed, or the title "Veteran" should be changed to something less implying of skill, like "FFR Parasite" or "Dude Who Likes Forums" or something. Or keep Veteran the way it is, and make a new title that actually describes good players, so they can have something too.

But I would say the skill requirements of vet should be lower. There's a weird unspoken consensus among disgustingly good top-tier players here that anyone who can't AAA an FMO is an amateur, but let's face it, anyone who can full combo a VC is already pretty ****ing beast tbh. I don't feel like Veteran status should be something that takes more than 90 or 100 hours to get. That's almost enough time to make flawless endgame files in a lot of RPGs. If the reason the status even exists is to recognize outstanding skill, the requirements really are bullshit.

An idea for new veteran req, something a bit more complicated.

Grand Total Score = A (billions)
Membership Duration = B (years)
Post Count = C (kilo posts)

[Veteran]

A > 1 and B > 1 and C > 0.5

and

A + B*2 + C*2 > 10


[Super Veteran]

A > 3 and B > 3 and C > 2

and

A + B*2 + C*2 > 30


We definitely can use more parameters for this, but averank, AAAs, FCs are quite variable so it would be difficult to use these parameters for vereran reqs I think.

Adding in more easily available non-gameplay requirements for a status that has almost universally gameplay-related perks seems more like non-avid players will earn veteran status and then be upset when all they get that is at all relevent to them is a blue name and access to a mostly dead forum.
