Re: Rates higher than 1.0 should record

if other people had to play through 4 minute rock song files i think everyone should have to so everyone has to suffer the same

so people shouldn't be rewarded for playing on a higher rate, letting them have more fun playing it because they're challenging themselves a little more

Re: Rates higher than 1.0 should record

What are the arguments as to why rates should be allowed on the leaderboard?

i'm about to go to bed so i'll keep this short and sweet

ffr is a game. generally, people want to have fun while playing games.

is that hard to understand or something? dependent on skill level, it's just not fun at all to have to play through really bad files to obtain a number that doesn't indicate skill. rates above 1.0 only serve to make a file potentially more fun (or less rage-inducing) and challenging. players shouldn't be rewarded by challenging themselves?

this is the same thing that qqwref and omega have said, and it's still a really dumb concept. what you're saying is equivalent to "i had to play through this shitty file so you do too"

this game shouldn't be about "suffering."

and that should be the end of the thread, honestly.

How to implement fun while keeping everyone happy?

Re: Rates higher than 1.0 should record

How to implement fun

subjective

while keeping everyone happy?

impossible

but it seems to me like the people who are against rate scores being recorded are either fans of "suffering through files" or fans of "play files like the simfile author intended"

fortunately, 1.0 rate would still exist and "suffering" in a game is a hilarious concept

Re: Rates higher than 1.0 should record

Suffering has nothing to do with any of this. Some people will find old easy 4 minute rock songs fun, others won't. Old Synthlight songs will be hilarious to some, others not.

If you don't intrinsically love to play everything than you probably shouldn't play everything. No one wants anyone to suffer lmao.

Re: Rates higher than 1.0 should record

So you will have fun only when your scores are recorded? Why not just have fun on rates without expecting anything else

Ranks are ranks. It's more for accomplishment than fun
I think you guys need to study how to have fun as a casual

Re: Rates higher than 1.0 should record

I'm going to say no. You guys have Stepmania for a reason.

Both qqwref and leonid pretty much described the reasons why I'm against it.

Re: Rates higher than 1.0 should record

I say no but only for consistency's sake. If the utilities are there, perhaps a separate music rates leaderboard would be best in the future. I couldn't care less if my rated AAA's/scores don't count to ranks because I could easily play on 1.0 rate to do the same feat. Stepmania record tables operate on the same standards btw as an fyi.

Re: Rates higher than 1.0 should record

I say yes
Also, rates Sometimes break the judgement (or at least for me it's hard to PA using rates lol)

Re: Rates higher than 1.0 should record

it's more the fact that playing on rates doesn't contribute anything to someone's public display of achievement

Ranks are ranks. It's more for accomplishment than fun
I think you guys need to study how to have fun as a casual

wait, so accomplishment and fun are exclusive?
