New User Skill Token #1
July is now over and the previous skill token month very possibly left a lot of new users in the dust. Worry not because August will provide a handful of skill tokens which do not require mountains of … well … skill. Tonight we introduce the first of the New User Skill Tokens straight from the Nestlekwik School of FFR by adding another token to the classified beginner level of tokens. Now pay attention class – to unlock this shiny new song token, go to the Dance category and pass the song Free Space, the very first song on the Dance listing.
Lesson one merely requires one to survive 59 grueling arrows so study up and report back in a couple of days for a harder lesson. Upon passing Free Space, you’ll be rewarded with the skill token for the song Eien Maikyu by Yuki Otoha. Eien Maikyu is Japanese for Eternal Labyrinth and is rated a one in difficulty thanks to a step file of timely reds and blues by jimerax. Running at 1:41, the song is a nice ballad that has a much slower BPM than nearly all of the songs on FFR. It’s also kind of fitting that Free Space, a wide open area, unlocks Eternal Labyrinth, a tight-quartered maze. It’s like they are opposites! … Well, I thought it was a funny coincidence.
Now I see a lot of the more skilled players rolling their eyes at this task, grumbling about how easy it is. Well, then, mister or madam, do we have a feature for you. Courtesy of lightdarkness, we now have a feature for subscribers only on the skill tokens page which divides the skill tokens into a set of six difficulty levels and suggests a token for you based on the lowest-skilled token left available for you. If you have more than one skill token left in that difficulty, you can refresh the page, and the feature will generate a new suggestion for you. Handy, isn’t it! Don’t have the feature? Well, that means you’re not a subscriber! What are you waiting for? Subscribe now!
Now go and fetch the new token and revisit the token page to see what previous tokens can give you a suitable challenge! Class dismissed.

Posted at 11:06pm on August 2nd, 2007
That had to have been one of the gosh darn hardest skill tokens I’ve ever done gotten. Make it easier next time!

Where is the suggestion engine? I cannot find it
Posted at 11:10pm on August 2nd, 2007
Even the skill token was uber hard! How do you expect the average run of the mill player like me to pass something like those two songs ;-; Oh, and thanks for the new Subscriber feature
Posted at 11:11pm on August 2nd, 2007
If you are a subscriber, click on the skill tokens link either on the left navigation bar or in the story above and directly above the first skill token, you will see the text “Looking for a challenge? Try token X!”
Click on the “token X!” and it will direct you straight to that token’s requirements.

I have all the tokens — will nothing show up unless there’s something I haven’t unlocked?
Posted at 11:14pm on August 2nd, 2007
Oh, I see. If you have all of the skill tokens unlocked, lightdarkness is reporting it will show nothing. Sorry about that.
Posted at 11:19pm on August 2nd, 2007

Posted at 11:43pm on August 2nd, 2007
Dat was awesome!!
Posted at 11:50pm on August 2nd, 2007
Lol I AAA’d Free Space..
Posted at 11:55pm on August 2nd, 2007
Ah now they are getting money lol … first getting everyone addicted to the skill tokens and then put a special feature for subscribers …….
dang why cant i think of that, nice play
Posted at 12:21am on August 3rd, 2007
why why why do all of the easy AAA songs have to be calming too it makes it 100% more difficult to stay alert and acctually AAA it…oh well i’ll get it 2nd or 3rd time around
Posted at 12:25am on August 3rd, 2007
The new song is very soothing indeed. But I have a craving for a V2. I detected two beats in there. Same as Free Space.
Posted at 12:31am on August 3rd, 2007
ehh v2 on such an easy song would still be a let down in difficulty but make some easy speedcore as a new skill token song and then i’d be all for v2s
Posted at 12:41am on August 3rd, 2007
wow this song was extra hard i almost died from button mashing on free space…lawlz, eh my lil bro got the token for me xD
Posted at 12:48am on August 3rd, 2007
MrRubix… i’ll have LD code in a special message for those who have unlocked all the skill tokens. something to the effect of “go outside now. k thx bye.”
Posted at 1:15am on August 3rd, 2007
Tasselfoot: LOL, would be a very fitting message indeed
Posted at 1:57am on August 3rd, 2007

Posted at 4:00am on August 3rd, 2007
Geez, 59 grueling arrows..

Posted at 4:04am on August 3rd, 2007
This is not Eien m”a”ikyu. This correct name is Eien meikyu.
Posted at 7:13am on August 3rd, 2007
Will that subscriber feature of “try token X” be made public eventually? It sounds like a useful addition.
Posted at 8:27am on August 3rd, 2007
i like song
Posted at 9:31am on August 3rd, 2007
Im trying to deside if it is even worth earning a song ill never play….to easy…..oh well, just another to aaa I guess
Posted at 9:33am on August 3rd, 2007

Posted at 10:04am on August 3rd, 2007

Posted at 10:06am on August 3rd, 2007
I think the skill token page should be ordered by locked/unlocked, and then difficulty.
Posted at 10:26am on August 3rd, 2007
Why is everyone being so rude? Gah…I’m not a newbie, but there’s alot of people who are, and they need a chance. Give them a break by not being so sarcastic and rude.
I loved the skill token..very calming and pretty.
Posted at 10:39am on August 3rd, 2007
Thank you
Posted at 10:55am on August 3rd, 2007

Posted at 1:24pm on August 3rd, 2007
Eien Maikyu is very pretty.
=]]
First time to AAA a song on the first try.
xD
Posted at 1:42pm on August 3rd, 2007
AND I THOUGHT AAA WAS HARD BUT THIS IS GODLY IMPOSSIBLE
Posted at 2:05pm on August 3rd, 2007
Woo i got it not much of a suprize i like this idea of making it easier for some of the less skilled people
Posted at 2:22pm on August 3rd, 2007
lol.
Posted at 4:42pm on August 3rd, 2007
skill tokens will have no meaning after this. :/
Oh well, I guess you’re right, less skilled need them, I mean it’s a more broad, better measure of skill. Some will have 5, others 12, others 45, the rest. having all of them.
by the by I got AAA #36 today.
Posted at 5:40pm on August 3rd, 2007
that was fun. yay.
Posted at 6:41pm on August 3rd, 2007
