    Argument for Rates >X1.0

    So, I've been thinking about Rates for a little while now, and I think it's time to revisit the idea of counting scores for Rates >X1.0 for the leaderboards.

    This video is prompting my post specifically -


    Especially with over 2,000 songs in this game, I think it would make it more enjoyable for a new player to explore more of the game. While rate leaderboards probably aren't feasible to implement, I think allowing Rates >X1.0 to record scores would be a more enjoyable experience for more players.

    There were previous discussions about whether songs would be easier to get a better score on with the change, like MAYBE skeletor. I don't personnally believe it would make any chart easier in technical ability.

    Anyways, I just wanted to bring the topic back up for discussion.

    I think the idea you're bringing up is good but i think it would mess with average rank or any other of the sub leaderboards.

      I think the suggestion is to just allow the score to record normally. It wouldn't change things like average rank because a AAA on 1.1 wouldn't get given a higher score than a AAA on 1.0

        But wouldn't that make getting average rank on the easy files way to fast and cheap? Like idk it would be cool to have rate scores submit but i think it would cause too many side effects.

          It would just eliminate the drudgery of going back and aaa’ing songs <50 ish difficulty. So, yes, more people would be motivated to climb the avg rank rank leaderboards. However, I think this would be a good thing for the game.

            If there are other side effects, I really would like to bring them to light.
            Otherwise, I don't see a downside in making about half the game more enjoyable for other players.

            We didn't buy the "well we had to AAA legacy files" argument back in the day before those were removed from ranks.

              If rate leaderboards become a thing, they will be separate from 1x leaderboard.

                I just want >1x rates to be recorded in the same way that 1x rates are recorded.

                  You could probably imagine my sadness when I found out that rates above 1.0 actually don't get recorded as score.

                            it's cool that you can at least save replays on rates

                              Part of the challenge of avg rank is to grind through it. It'd be like getting pianocore on 2x. That's just not the point.
