    Credits, scoring, and purchases...

    There's alot of things which could be improved on FFR, many of which I'm sure are coming in 3rd style, however, I'd just like to state some of the changes I think would make the game alot better, and more blanced for all levels of players.

    1) Credits: I think the credit system needs to be re-worked slightly... having a limit of 25 credits max per song seems a bit too low of the higher-level difficulty songs. Having a higher limit would be nice, so the more experianced players could rack up more credits, which brings me to my second suggestion...

    2) The FFR Shop: I think the purchasing of songs is a great idea, but once again, I think it should be re-worked slightly. There should be a wider variety of song difficulties, easier ones having LOWER credit costs, and harder songs having HIGHER costs. This would allow new players to still get new songs at their level of skill (and not be forced to buy really hard songs), but allow the more skilled player to spend those huge amounts of credits they'd be earning off the new credit system.

    3) Characters: The character selection in FFR looks like it could make the game really fun... if it wasn't as utterly useless as it is right now. I think the option to be able to buy outfits/new dancepads and new types of gameplay ect. would be a nice thing to add to the FFR shop, and would give some more incentive to earn credits.

    4) Game Tweaks: As many of you know, in the original FFR style you can choose differant styles of gameplay (dizzy, blink, stealth, ect.), but they don't really do anything but make the game a bit differant. Perhaps earning bonus credits for completing a song with one of these options on would persuade more people to use them?

    If anyone has any other SENSABLE comments or suggestions, please post em' here, thank you.

      That is a very wonderful idea, Bamboozler. If LD reads this, then more than likely these ideas will be worked into 3rd Style.

        Nice ideas. Well the ideas about credits anyway, I don't think all that many people care about the characters and stuff (I could be wrong but I know I don't).

          Hmm... another idea just occured to me after trying to post a few screenshots in a thread... because taking screenshots of results is EXTREMLY popular in this game, I think incorporating an in-game program which would format a screenshot of your score card, then send it to your file would be a nice feature to have in R3. I realize that having all those screenshots build up mite lag the server, so maybe a limit of 2 or 3 of the players best screenshots per user account would be reasonable? That or a certain score/credit requirment on the screenshots taken (maybe like 80% of the record holder?), so no one would have an option to simply create multiple accounts to take BS screenies. This would make it alot more effecient for those brag board threads when trying to get a screenshot in with your post.

            That's not a bad idea either. You have good ideas =)

            Perhaps an actual JPEG or GIF screenshot wouldn't be necessary, just a "Save score" option that would save the score just like it does with all MP games.

              No, actually I'd use the game tweaks thing. I think 1 and 2 are great ideas.

                3rd style has a proposed feature list that none of you can even begin to imagine. Chances are, a lot of suggestions that will be made up until they have already been considered, or even put into the game.

                I guess the only way we'll know is when the game comes out.

                  Seeing as how popular R3 has become, I can probably imagine how many suggestions there are... and i realize that not all of them may be able to be implemented in to it, or it may just be to complex to add whatever it is that's begin suggested, but... this IS the suggestion board... should i not bother posting any more suggestions if this suggest list is as big as you say?

                    I just hope you can set the quality's for those of us with a pile of crap for a pc. I would hate to not be able to play because of lag. That is why I can not play R2.
