    My thoughts on the Rate Option

    I despise it.

    I don't despise the concept of the Rate Option, my main beef is with the way it works in multi player. It has ruined the fun I have playing online with other people who now use rate.

    First off, I hate the concept that the person I am playing with plays the song faster than me. They finish the song while I still have halfway to go, and it's just like playing alone at that point. I would change it too to play with my friends who use it, but it isn't compatible with Flash Player 9.

    Another concern I have is the glitch it is causing for MP. If you spectate a game where both players are using rate, every time it freezes at the beginning, and the song starts playing from the beginning but the notes are from a different point in the song.

    Finally, it has changed the way people play songs. On several occasions now, I have tried to play an easy song with somebody, and even if I ask them not to use rate, they tell me they CAN'T play an easy song without Rate. It disappoints me.

    Don't get me wrong, the Rate option sounds kinda cool, but it makes me feel lonely when playing with someone who uses Rate, Rate causes glitches, and it has made people rely on it to play easy songs.

    All this is my personal opinion, so try not to get completely raged over this.

    Maybe have both players in MP locked into the same rate would address a few of your concerns.

          Who in the world says they "can't play an easy song without rate"?
          That's abit concerning honestly.
          unless they were trying to be nice and not destroy you with a quad or something.

                    So basically me watching people playing with the Rate edited will always be glitched, since I run Flash 9 and can't edit my Rate?

                        Yea, i prolly woulda done the same thing honestly.
                        But the saying you "can't play it without rate" part seems a bit too much.
                        I woulda said
                        "nah *****, i really don't wanna play this bitch easy chart without rates."

                            oh.. I thought we established that "******" and any variations of the word were okay to use because we are civilized and understand that we do not use this word in a degrading manner.
                            I apologize if that is not the case.

                              that's p much what I said.

                              He told me to pick so I picked Casino Fire or whatever some 80 and he was like no lets play something easier. So I told him to pick and I'll play on rates (I dunno if this kid is good or not)
                              He picked a 30 so I was like I'll just play on 1.5 to make it fair and fun, and he started bitching rofl. ???
