Dude, the whole point of interesting skill token requirements is that they do NOT require huge amounts of skill. If you'd have no chance of ever unlocking something unless you're better than I am, you'll have 100 people who go "I could unlock it but boy will it be annoying if I mess up" and 100,000 people who go "this is stupid, I'll never be that good". For the vast majority of people it's not fun or motivating to have a requirement that seems basically unachievable.

True. Just because it is doable by a few people doesn't mean that it should be suggested for a skill token. Passing is a good idea because it takes minimal skill to PASS the songs in itself...BUT the actual chalenge is the amount of time you are devoting to get the token, like EternuS. Passing Blue noah, Blue Army, Blue Violet, Big Blue, and Blue Rose is 2:06 + 6:36 + 5:35 + 6:00 + 1:50 or 22:07 of straight game play. Would be a good challenge skill token for beginners, and might be alright for the pros as playing those songs aern't exactly boring so it might be fair game for both sides of the coin. Would be REALLY sexy if somehow it was set up so that you HAD to play the songs immediately after eachother...like it loaded those levels one after another and just skipped the stats screens.

...maybe options in the engine set up for mods regarding tokens for that...?

Phht AAA pita with the modification "tornado" active to unlock...

Re: Skill Token Suggestion

The only problem I see with that time frame is the time it takes to exit back to the song selection screen, pick the song, and for some people, how long it loads.

Re: Skill Token Suggestion

Well now that the credit cap is up to 60 we can do a skill token that requires you to get 60 credits on a song

. Not a difficult one at all.

Re: Skill Token Suggestion

i think the people that really care about the skill tokens are the people that are everyday players, or players that are somewhat active. most of the people that have signed up for this site barely play, or ever, and couldn't care less about skill tokens.. i don't think we should really worry so much about if only 100 people could get a token or not.

Re: Skill Token Suggestion

Maybe one for 50 too.

False. I wasnt involved in the community at all when I joined like 3 years ago but I was a token lover ever since I first joined. I dont even know how I got involved in the community. First thread I ever posted in was a tournament hosted by Izzy and I got my first AAA on Sonic 1 Final Zone or something. A My friends and my brother also go for them but they are not as good.

I'm guessing you played a lot though? Or you were at least active, which is what I was saying. I could just about guarantee 95-98% of this site isn't active whatsoever. and about 90% of it never was.

This would be really cool. I don't know how it could work, but I'd love to have it in place for certain tokens.

I had an idea (hope I didn't post this yet) that would prevent cheating on "do this, then this, etc" type requirements. Basically, whenever you start a song, the engine would tell the site. If you finish the song the replay would look normal, but if you don't finish (you hit refresh, for instance) you'll get a replay that presses nothing and fails when it gets 10 misses. So this way, once you start one of the later songs, you have to go through with it, because refreshing will make the game treat that gameplay as a miss out.

If anything atleast have some for both categories though. Dont make them all really hard to get. You need to include everyone.

Well, yeah, I know. All I'm saying is, nobody should be so worried about whether or not only 100 people could get it. If there's a creative idea, just use it. Don't worry about it.
