Re: [4K/6K] beatmaniaIIDX 17 SIRIUS Megapack Released !!

I think it largely has to do with solo itself. People are so used to 4keys that they'd never want to traverse outside of it. Even for the pack I just made which has multiple difficulties, you can already tell that the attention for that pack lasted a day and a half and has already waned, even with the bumping of my posts. I worked on that pack on and off for two years.

Solo really needs to be used as a trendsetter before there's any real engine fuel going on.

Let's murder Gundam-Dude so he stops making single packs lOl

We can make these 2 packs worth their values but "we" here is the entire community
Just make some solo score threads and people will try to "sup" your scores etc. and the longer the thread the better ... I think.

Well you have to look at who promotes 4keys the most: sites like FFR obviously. Not saying 4keys is bad by any means, but sites like FFR and Thirdstyle solely promotes this style of playing. Some people might believe that if solo was added to FFR, FFR's identity would only more closely mimic Stepmania's, reducing the "originality" and attractiveness of FFR. But really, this only serves to put solo in the backwaters eternally.

I heard in discussions about FFR's future that solo could be included as a separate game in itself, and I hope this will happen someday.

I think solo will always be overshadowed though, whether or not sites promote this style of playing, because 4keys will always be regarded as the stepping stone -BEFORE- one would dare to even attempt 6keys/solo. "start with the easier style of playing" is a natural thought that a beginner would normally think, so mentally, 4keys will always have this preferential upper hand.

Ben's/Choofer's solo tournament is a good start however, as incentives are really needed to push this style of playing at all. Without those incentives, I've heard from many people that they're perfectly happy sticking with 4keys and are not interested otherwise.

It definitely has to do with your past files lol. For the most part, when people say "roar files," they think of hyper layered files that have very little replay value past scoring factors. So when they hear "roar solo files," they think of... hyper layered solo files.

I think it's awesome that Lincle Megapack will have multiple difficulities.
