Token Whore
 

What does "ST#1-99" mean? I thought it meant "Special Token" or something like that, but there are more than 100 tokens and some of them are even rarer than this one. So?

Re: Token Whore
 

You have to get the first 99 "skill" tokens in released date order to unlock token whore.

You don't need the newer tokens.

See: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...token_info.php

Skill token 1 happened first then 2 etc.

The hardest tokens in the 1-99 range are;

- Otaku[Oni] (Difficulty 70-84 AAA),
- Sonata Quasi Una Fantasia Mov.3 (if you get a boo/miss/average on any Rondo, it ruins the run)
- Nanairopanda v2 (requires accuracy and enough comfort with the song to avoid yellow notes on purpose)

You don't need St.Scarhand[heavy] for this thankfully.

I only need nainai to get token whore since it came out and i hateit.

Re: Token Whore
 

Thanks, guys, I think I have a long way to go for that then hehe

Re: Token Whore
 

Don't forget about Disconnected Hardkore. That one's a massive pain for a lot of players.

Re: Token Whore
 

Or we could finally be reasonable and make it just, "get 100 skill tokems."

Re: Token Whore
 

Viennacore and disconnected hardkore are harder than oni imo :P

Re: Token Whore
 

NO, thats dumb.

Re: Token Whore
 

Explain to me without citing the fact others did it how its reasonable to expect people to do 100 requirements, some which require immense mastery of the game, to unlock a meme file that's easy as fuck. There's enough variation to the requirements that it's a simple quality of life change.

What's stupid is clinging to the notion it has to stay the same as it was. Do you want the av-miss glitch back?

Re: Token Whore
 

I'd have to disagree with the comparison here - the AV miss glitch affected every song in the game. This is a skill token that has had a specific requirement since it's been introduced. Making it far easier to get will make it less meaningful for those who have whored out the first 99 skill tokens. I believe opening it up would vastly change the function of how it was originally intended to be unlocked.

Re: Token Whore
 

We have changed requirements of tokens before. It wouldn't be a first. We took legacy files out of the ranks. It's just improving the game. That argument has literally zero ground to stand on. It's time to stop dry humping nostalgia so hard it has third degree burns.

Re: Token Whore
 

Bruh, its token whore for a reason. If anything it should be changed to getting EVERY other token in the game. Its fine how it is even if it is a pretty easy file. The meaning of it is to whore all the tokens before it.

Re: Token Whore
 

I was for taking the legacy songs out, but I don't know what specific token requirement changed. It's also another completely unrelated topic: those were terrible files that made new players quit the game for quality. This particular issue is a fringe token that affects access to a single meme file. I would guess that most people who went for the token was more about a completionist achievement rather than for the access to the meme file. I am not basing my argument on nostalgia, but rather the nature of the token itself - a completionist achievement.

Part of your issue seems to be that the prize is a meme file - would you be more comfortable with it if the reward was something more difficult?

Re: Token Whore
 

lol middie is just salty because of the anti skill tokens that need to be done in order to get it. Not joking either.

Re: Token Whore
 

That's no where in my argument, and it's also not salt. I hate them sure, but I typically cite bad design of the game rather than, "I suck at them, get rid of 'em."

Even on Tier Points it's more from a "something else does it but better" argument.

It's how it should have been from the get-go.

Re: Token Whore
 

That's literally the only reason, and no the requirement should not change.
If any file in-game is to be a masterpiece, it should be a public file. I'd rather have a meme gated behind this requirement than an actually good file that less than 1% of the playerbase will ever get to experience.

Who remembers when Disappearance of Hatsune Miku was gated behind AAAing an FSO?

This change would definitely not be a quality of life change, even loosely speaking. It would completely uproot the current requirement, making it at least 10 to 20 times easier. Sure it's elitism at its finest, but people aren't required to go for these.. it is just a meme file after all :roll:

Preach.

Nostalgia plays no part in this at all. Earn the first 99 chronological skill tokens is the requirement and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. Changing it to any 99 just changes a perfectly valid requirement to be easier for no reason at all, as there is nothing wrong with the current requirement.

If you can successfully explain why the current requirement for Token Whore is an unreasonable/malformed/defective/invalid/what-have-you requirement, you have a case. Otherwise, it's kinda like saying change Derby from 95 to 90 because 95 is an old number and it's time for change.

My final statement for this post on this topic will be this:
The first 99 tokens require a wide-range of requirements that require a player to have a broad and adaptive skill set. Changing the requirement to any 99 STs does not guarantee this broad skill set (for example, using the any-99 model, a player could get the token having never AAA'd a song). Because of this, I think the token is fine the way it is. Nerfing valid token requirements doesn't help the game (or hurt it, to be clear). Because of this, they should only be changed if their old requirements are no longer achievable because of bugfixes, feature replacements, etc.

Re: Token Whore
 

Its not in your argument because you know how retarded of a reason it is. Theres literally nothing wrong with anti skill tokens, they are fun as hell to try to get. The req for token whore is fine. no need to change it.

Re: Token Whore
 

you're all wrong, tokens are inherently retarded in the first place

Re: Token Whore
 

It's not in my argument because it was obviously irrelevant. I left it out because it's as biased argument regardless how strong I think it is. My stance is well known, I don't always regurgitate it.

1. The best files in the game are subjective. I'd still hold Twister is the best file in the game, or Teni, but TBH I can't enjoy one of those Cosmo files. They're lost on me no matter how goid they are.

2. Your example is a hypocracy. If it was originally gated behind an "FSO" AAA it should have stayed thrre as others to enjoy it had to unlock it first.

3. Quality of life changes uprooting old problems is that it is? See the Fiora rework in League as an example. We also removed Legacy files from ranks, should we have left them to torment players because people like Halogen had to do them for better ranks?

4. The difficulty can be reinterpreted as a tool to set goals rather than making it an ability checklist. Sure I CAN go get 250 averages on this song, or I can go AAA this easy file, or I can go AAA and get Heavy. I'd think the change makes it easier yes. But it doesn't need to be that hard just because it's been done by others in past.

Also, I understand your sentiment in the end of your post, but I'd argue it should have never been what it is in the first place. But I dunno if 100 was intended to be the max so I dunno.

Btw list format was to make it easier to type thru my phone.
