Re: Fix the stupid Rock songs

A new genre for old songs probably won't be made...I think Tass said something somewhere to the effect that moving songs around would confuse newbs and be bad.

I think there's too much of a deal being made over this...seriously, just fix all the songs without "historical value" and I'll be happy.

I don't see a problem with a new genre. While i agree that keeping the songs are for the best since you don't want to upset the people who spent time mastering those songs, and showing how FFR has evolved.

I just cant help but think of the people who start out and play a newer song thats on-beat saying "Hey, this song is cool!" and then playing one of the off-sync "Historical" songs and saying "WTF is this ****?, This sucks!" atleast with a Historical Genre people have a general idea what they are getting themselves into when picking the song (unless they use the quick select which then they probably wont notice the difference either way).

Just my two-cents.

Re: Fix the stupid Rock songs

I think a Historical genre would fix more problems than it causes. I know a lot of people could be confused by songs moving around, but this does already happen whenever there's an official tournament, and a lot of players are using the drop-down song list anyway.

Even if a lot of people are confused, though, it might be worth it due to the impression on new users, which there are much more of than active users. The better quality the first few songs new users see are, the more likely it is that those users will stay with FFR. If you look at the first page of Dance (which is in all likelihood the first place newcomers to FFR will go), 8 of the 12 songs are very old historical files (and Vi Sitter is offsync)... so we're clearly not giving beginners the best possible view of what FFR has become. I definitely agree that old songs should still be in FFR but I don't think they should be displayed so prominently. If anything, the first page of the genre that comes up when you load FFR (i.e. Dance page 1) should have the best public easy songs that we have.

That's why we have the song selection scroller.

I say make the new genre. We don't want to alienate new players.
