Well if Average Rank matters to some then they should invest their time into playing the files and getting good scores on them. Its not like they are impossible to get good scores on, sure they may be a pain in the ass, and they are but not really worth taking out of the game for that reason. I mean i GUESS if they are taken out it wont really matter to me and i wont be butt hurt but im just saying. They really should stay.

I thought you were talking about his files for a second lmao

Inevitably, I don't care what happens to the Legacy files, but I am just offering a piece of my thinking as a player on FFR.

Justin, I completely glossed over your suggestion so my apologies for that. That may work, but do you think it's a little silly to have files in the game strictly for a profile badge/tokens and no associated rank? Seems like all files on FFR have their scores ranked.

This is more accurate. I myself have the legacy genre AAA'd so I'm the least "mad cuz bad" to give input on this.

Whatever ranks they'd get moved to, all that matters to me is to just not include them in the public average rank calculations.

[SK8R43]

Why exactly Doss?

Naw, I do agree that they should stay, and I also think they should be ranked. I just don't think they should be a part the public level ranks.

Games progress forward... nostalgia is fine, but it's like keeping a certain room from an old game all pixely just for old times' sake while the rest of the game improves.

[SK8R43]

Hey as long as they are ranked its all good. But LOL, they are a part of history. Like Mountain Dew, They have made ALOT of new flavors but they are still keeping the Original even though they all pretty much taste better. The old files arent as good as the new ones but why make em go away.

[justin_ator]

But they're BAD... the first time they made mountain dew, it was BAD. They made it better, and now they've stuck with the best one that made them famous...

[SK8R43]

So make the legacy files better, and if that cant happen then just leave em. It was BAD but they didnt just say hey lets just get rid of it and make a new flavor. They improved it. Getting rid of the files just because they're bad isnt gonna improve anything... lul

touche

Also the reason I say keep them, but move them to their own ranks/token ranks

Fair enough

[Reincarnate]

Remove from ranks, give token for completion instead

[SK8R43]

Why exactly Marcus? And if thats the case then i would say give a token or WHATEVER for getting them ALL either FCd or AAAd or something and not individual tokens. That way its harder and STILL brag worthy.. lol

I would be in favor of having a token that changed color as you improved it. For example, it could start bronze for playing them all, turn silver for SDGs, then gold for all AAA's. There could also be a token for AAAing your first synth file or other such milestones.

But yes, I think they should be out of public ranking.

"we" = roughly 500 people
the number people who might have interest in playing this game = 100,000+

there's no reason to force new players who want to beef up their stats into playing old, outdated files. the oldest charts don't even represent the authors' original intentions due to the rudimentary file converter used at the time.

so simple, yet so effective.

Legacy really is not a good representation of the effort steppers put into their files nowadays. There are plenty of files that are unfun ingame, don't get me wrong on this, but these legacy files really don't fit the "rhythm gaming" aspect properly considering how off their placements are.

Good legacy classics include files like Secret Zombie Room and Beethoven Virus. These are pretty fun despite being blue note files. After I AAA'd Revolutionary Etude for instance, I *never* wanted to play that pile of garbage ever again. The same goes for most legacy files.

[Reincarnate]

Remove from ranks because they are gimmicky and poorly stepped. Remain in game for the sake of history and nostalgia. Token for taking on the challenge.
