Re: FFR Suggestions

Perhaps a "Play last song" option on the home screen of the engine. I find myself clicking "play another song" alot to change preferences like mirror or offset and whatever and have to go back through and pick the same song again. This would be a bit helpful. Also, as far as MP, i think raw score should be the score used to determine a winner, i find that skilled players who have an extremely good PA but miss a note here and there get beaten by mashwhores alot, which affects the "MP lvl portraying the skills of a player" poorly. For example, MP3 consistently beats me in PA and is the better player, but i consistently beat him in MP because i tend to mash a few seconds to get through a part that usually breaks my combo.

Keep up the good work Velocity, the engine is getting better and better with each update ^^. I couldnt stand the original engine at all, and now its fairly acceptable imo.

Actually, if you're using the Velocity engine, you can press Scroll Lock to load up the options menu, without leaving the song screen. So that lets you change preferences and then continue playing the same song with those.

Re: FFR Suggestions

So should the total number of arrows in your gameplay stats for the day include misses?
Misses technically count as arrows (to me) since they are part of the song but you simply... missed it.
So in the picture below, should the total number be 688 instead of 666? Just wonderin'...

Yes it costs must but if all mods + admins pool in its cheap.

We already have live chat.... in like 3 places.

Re: FFR Suggestions

A small suggestion:

In levelranks is there a way to implement something showing your total number of perfects, goods, averages, misses and boo's from songs? Not much use... but people could shoot for a goal to get x amount of whatever.

Re: FFR Suggestions

Suggestion: Tier point history so you know where your latest tier points came from instead of scrolling through the whole list to try and figure it out. Wouldn't think it would be too hard to code.

As a Veteran, you should have access to the 'Beta Level Reader" on the sidebar in the game page. It has the functionality you're looking for.

Re: FFR Suggestions

Well, no... I don't see that in beta

example:

10 songs, each song has 100 goods, which then shows 1000 goods total on the side.

is what I mean

Re: FFR Suggestions

A pause button for single player would be a nice option, no?

But wouldn't that throw off your timing?

That would totally ruin the integrity of the game.

Oohhhh, you mean you want to see your putative PA across all songs in total by best score?

So if you had AAA'd every song in the game, you'd have a stat like

24500-0-0-0-0 or something?

Gotcha. Yeah that functionality doesn't exist yet. How would you forsee having that stat deal with songs you've never played? All boos? All misses? If they simply don't show up, then there's no real way to -rank- people by this score (And if we made this score visible, people would demand to be ranked by it)

Re: FFR Suggestions

I think all misses is a little extreme. How about just add up the scores for every song to have a "total score". That way, songs you havn't played count as 0, which is about right.

If you're worried that FC's will have too much of an effect, I think counting everyone's total perfect counts would be about the same. That way a person with "most perfects" could be a rank.

I've actually wanted this feature too. Except I wanted it for each difficulty, so I can say "I have 5 goods total on all 7ft songs" or something similar.

Re: FFR Suggestions

That's a good idea^, a different kind of grand total score
Seems a little excessive though and would probably just mirror the rankings of avrank. Would be interesting to see anyway

I can't believe you just suggested this. That would give such a gigantic advantage when you can pauseplaypause really quick and hit all the arrows in a song perfect because you can pause between notes lol.

No.
