Unless someone uploads all the songs somewhere (separate from the level swf's), I don't think this can ever really work again. Or at least, you would only ever be able to listen to a song when (a) you are logged in, and also (b) your account is allowed to play that song.

nope, I have it designed in a way that allows this. Just need to update the player.

Also, if I don't read the last ~2 pages, I don't have to say anything.

Another point for PA based scoring for less skilled people:

It gives them a chance to get decent ranks. People starting out won't always hit every arrow, so if they miss one, it won't be like rank 1,365,231 when they have a decent run.

Also, misses wouldn't be as disheartening. Like comboing RWOB, Pants, Blue Rose, Blue Army, etc. when you work that hard to get through a song and get ONE miss.

Why couldn't they calculate raw scoring only?
Much easier..

**YoshL** · 04-6-2011, 02:10 PM

what would happen if a whole new set of ranks was developed, apart from avg and overall, just for the sake of pa based ranks?

The sky would fall.

Something might be done, but plans for the next few months will ultimately decide that.

In MP, it usually takes some time so that people join my room (not that it smells or anything, that's just the way it is sometime). I then happen to start doing other stuff in the end, completely forgetting about the room, while people entering get out 10 seconds later realizing that no one will reply. I often miss opportunities.

My suggestion is: how about inputing an "alarm noise", a beep or something when a player enters the room? Sounds simple enough.

omg this

Also, some kind of sound effect for chat in the MP lobby, cuz most of the time I'm browsing the forums waiting for someone to come into MP and I miss some opportunities.

Also, @Everyone arguing the "mashing is fun" point, you're stupid.. you can mash all you want even if the new scoring system were to be implemented, you just wouldn't get a superior score to someone who didn't mash.

How about allowing players to view the replay of a score they just played, in game? Ideally they could still save the replay after they watch it. This would save people the hassle of having to save the replay and then go to their replay page and open it.

^ This. One of the things I found about *Winning* while it was up was that the replay engine didn't incorporate the gimmick, which really was what made the level so entertaining. (Luckily, Hakulyte was able to bang out a AAA on video and upload it to YouTube for all to see.) I don't like the idea of being able to view a replay before saving it, though.

Offset appears to be broken. When you input a new offset the game auto-resets your offset to 0 when you close the "settings" menu.

Current minor glitch, it doesn't save your offset, just also change your speed mod (set speed) and it will force save your offset.

How about a better place for the Tournaments Subforum. Its kind of hidden. It should either be in FFR Events or out in the open
