a way to mute certain users so you can't see their text in mp chat

Something new to add to multiplayer: support for upto 4 players at a time with results viewable in the results screen

[Mans0n]

Don't forget forum titles being applicable in MP! That would be a cool perc.
ie, Velo your name would be red, Who cares would be yellow etc etc.

As long as something like this doesn't create twice the amount of lag already present in MP, I FULLY support this idea.




But of course for that to happen, this would have to happen too:

One major way Lag will be reduced is by not rendering the arrows or accuracy of the other player(s).
I'm pretty sure Velo is going to do that.

old suggestion -- maybe worthwhile?

[who_cares973]

i agree because i made those images

[TC_Halogen]

What if I remake better ones? You still gonna support it?

Write up what you would want there, urls are allowed, and I'll add it next update.

All of this sounds good, especially the the auto-fail working and full mask looking like single player. The more than 2 players idea would be pretty sexy also to be honest. Although mp level in that case would probably have to be planned out (maybe divide the mp level amongst everyone aside from last place?)
A lot of people quoted my post for SP full mp masking:

The people want this, please make it so!!

The thing about ranks / exp is it's based on a chess style ranking system, where it's 1v1, having more players doesn't fit into that ranking style.
If more then 2 players is added, it will result in a unranked game till I can figure out the ranking system. Synth was the one that put it all together.

Are viewers going to be able to watch people play the songs instead of just watching the scores as they're tallied?

That'd be awesome

[ichliebekase]

I don't think many people would see the harm in letting MP ranks go. Yea, a lot of people have earned their 20+ ranks, but there's no meaning behind them. If there was, then maybe more people wouldn't want them to go.

And I agree with Ninty, it would be more fun if you're a viewer in the room to be able to watch the song.

[Ninty64]

MP rankings can't be removed completely. They unlock a token song. Well, unless you change the requirements for the song.

I also completely disagree that they're meaningless. If we didn't have MP rankings, how would you know who's around your skill level?

Perhaps even allowing you to watch certain people's game plays that you pick beforehand, that way you aren't loading all the players' games at once every song.

Quick note on Ranks, if you know of a scalable ranking system that supports multiple people at once, tell me about it. We can't get rid of ranks, but we can also rebuild them with a new system if enough people want.

this could also help with having multiple types of games where ranks are used.

[Tidus810]

Totally random, but is there anyone with the appropriate power that intends to eventually go in and fix the sync'ing on songs? I know that's what the offset feature is for, but it's a little tedious sometimes... :S

[rushyrulz]

Make 3-4 player games unrated until a new system is implemented, should fix that logistics problem :P, now how about the other dozen?

I'm not exactly sure how exp is gained n stuff but if you consider a 4 person game -- 2nd place wins half the exp they would normally win and 3rd place loses half the exp they would normally lose

Just a suggestion... 8 person game would be 1/4 intervals instead of 1/2 and so on.

[rushyrulz]

1/n(c1 +/- c2 +/- c3....ck)

Where n is the number of players, c1, c2, c3, etc are the points changes:
9 or more: 0
8: 20
7: 30
6: 40
5: 50
4: 60
3: 70
2: 80
1: 90
0: 100
-1: 110
-2: 120
-3: 130
-4: 140
-5: 150
-6: 160
-7: 170
-8: 180
-9 or less: 0
