      I don't agree with the first part of this... The keeping balance thing? Yes. Trying to squeeze in every hard VC? No.

      I think the idea of making TP's available to the casual player is a terrific idea and breaks away from the ultra elitism that TP's had. But to go through each difficulty and select the hardest files isn't a good way to do it. Especially now that TP's are available from difficulty 7-12. This system seems to encourage a gradual progression kind of method, where a player can track their skill progression throughout their plays. However, jumping immediately from the hardest 7's giving TP, to the hardest 8's, then 9's, 10's, 11's, and finally 12's doesn't track progression smoothly. The TP's become available essentially when you've mastered each difficulty bracket, and by that time you probably already know you're that good. I prefer the flow of easier 7's to the most difficult 7's, easiest 10's to the most difficult 10's, etc. It rewards you for at the very least making attempts. But to just grant TP's to songs like Feldschlact, Bus Rides With People, Illumination of the Sky, Slaytronic, K8107, System Failure, and leave out songs like Tambourin Chinois, State of Emergency, dot death, and Wish (For FFR) seems unfair in the broad view of things. I tried my best to present an outline that didn't even include mostly challenging files for each difficulty, but rather an even curve. A gradual skill ladder for players to climb.

        I'm sorry, but... Didn't he just make that point? That he wanted to keep it balanced and include lower level songs as well as higher ones to have a spread of sorts?

        And you disagree with that on the grounds of the same argument?

        Wat? o.o

          Giving out tier points for easier songs without including all the harder ones is the entire point of this system - how else would we include only some of the songs in each difficulty from 7-10? With your approach we'd have to include every single 8+ to put any 7s into the list.

          Basically, we're going to try to include a reasonable progression of charts all the way from 7s through FMOs, at which point almost all charts will be included. The difficulty barriers aren't really important here - we just wanted to have a roughly even amount in each difficulty to make sure that we keep a good progression of difficulties.

            I am so excited - this will defiantly help motivate my depressingly self-centered e-penis.

              TY guys for all the love for World of Dreams and EternuS <3
              Glad to know people really did find World of Dreams a good jump practice file, that was its intent!

                Gotta say I don't remember World of Dreams, but EternuS was awesome, especially the fact that you stepped the whole thing

                  kinda excited to see the new tier outline. This will actually motivate me to work on the 7-9 songs too. lol

                      I'm extremely excited to see this. It'll make it so much easier to find things to improve rather than just looking at my levelranks. I can have more goals now :>

                        This.

                        I was extremely sad to see virtually all VC's gone from the TP list... It basically dampened my ambition to improve at all.

                        I will be extremely happy to see 9's and 10's introduced into the TP system. I intentionally tried to choose 9's and 10's I hadn't AAA'd just to give me motivation to improve my scores on some files, while still trying to provide a steady increase in difficulty from one difficulty to the next.
                        All public 1-7's AAA'd.

                              Pretty sure he meant to have outlines in by today.
