New Difficulty System Name Suggestions
Hi guys!
Now, the new difficulty system has been a work in progress in the background and should be in place as early as mid next week! One of the less important challenges has been creating titles for each difficulty while maintaining unique acronyms for each. What I would like to do is take suggestions from players regarding the final names of these difficulties. One in particular that has been deemed 'dumb' is the FSO title. Keeping in line with the For ____ Only scheme of things has been a long term tradition for FFR, but other suggestions would be great too. (I know some of the Team Indeed guys seem to like 'Brutal' as a fitting title). ??? will remain as the difficulty name for 20's as vRofl is the only song that falls into that category. This is the current name list that is up for voting/changes. --------------------------------------- 01- Easiest 02- Beginner 03- Novice 04- Very Easy 05- Easy 06- Light 07- Moderate 08- Standard 09- Tricky 10- Very Tricky --- 11- Difficult 12- Very Difficult 13- Challenging 14- Very Challenging 15- Expert 16- Master 17- Guru 18- Brutal 19- Ridiculous 20- ??? --------------------------------------- A bit of background information. The new system is a 20 difficulty system with a 1-99 rating of each file that will set it in an order within its difficulty. (ex. 11s in the new system will be the 46-50 range) The current 1-8's will be the new 1-10's. With the current 9+ difficulties filling the new 11+ area. Keeping in mind that the current ratio of 9:10:11:12's is 3:3:2:1, and that there will be better division of the upper tier files, so we're looking at high VCs and the lowest FMOs in the current system sitting in the FEO (difficulty 15) range, and the high FMOs and lowest FGOs sitting in the new FGO (difficulty 17) range. In this thread, I'd appreciate if you'd make your suggestions in the form of re-posting the entire 1-20 list in the same colour scheme with changes you've made in italics. Thanks in advance guys! We're hoping that this will assist us in making a system that will be essentially moderated by the players with transparency and public opinion taken into account every step of the way. ~Jae Last edited by nois-or-e; 06-4-2012 at 07:39 PM.. |

01- Easiest
02- Beginner 03- Very Easy 04- Easy 05- Light 06- Moderate 07- Standard 08- Tricky 09- Very Tricky 10- Heavy --- 11- Difficult 12- Very Difficult 13- Challenging 14- Very Challenging 15- For Experts only 16- For Masters only 17- For Gurus only 18- Brutal 19- Ridiculous 20- ??? I like how the new system looks. No longer will Eclipse be considered the same difficulty as Destiny v1, Oasis etc. or Mute City Remix and Szamar Madar being the same difficulty as Lawn Wake IV. |

Re: New Difficulty System Name Suggestions
I like Middie's suggestions for lower level files, they seem a bit more intuitive. My thoughts for the upper-level files:
18 - For Legends Only 19 - For Ridiculousness Only 20 - For Death Only Connotation wise, I believe there is more of a difference between Challenging and Demanding, than there is Challenging and Difficult. When one thinks of something as challenging, they think of it as somewhat difficult. However, when one thinks of the word demanding, it's more associated with a task being overwhelming or exhausting, something at a much higher level than simply "challenging."

Re: New Difficulty System Name Suggestions
Thanks for some speedy responses guys!! Personally I don't like the FSO title as it stands, but I was always intending on getting community input on the names before anything was put into place (as these require engine changes). Our 2 difficulty consultants & all 3 of us game managers are against the current FSO title too, so we're hoping for some good suggestions here!
Just one thing please, as I have no idea how many responses we'll get regarding this thread.

Re: New Difficulty System Name Suggestions
Eh, change my mind on what I said earlier. Here's what I came up with:
01- Easiest 02- Beginner 03- Very Easy 04- Easy 05- Simple 06- Light 07- Moderate 08- Standard 09- Tricky 10- Very Tricky --- 11- Heavy 12- Challenging 13- Very Challenging 14- Demanding 15- Very Demanding 16- Exacting 17- Punishing 18- Brutal 19- Ridiculous 20- Impossible Not sure about 20. Would also like to see beginner replaced since I like the difficulties better without having to use "beginner/expert/master" etc. Think it's more consistent that way, can't think of one more easy name though.

Re: New Difficulty System Name Suggestions
How about these?
01- Beginner 02- Easy 03- Mediocre 04- Fair 05- Adequate 06- Medium 07- Tricky 08-Hard 09- Difficult 10- Intense --- 11- Challenging 12- Advanced 13- Extreme 14- Painful 15-Vicious 16- For Masters Only 17- For Gurus Only 18-Outrageous 19- Ridiculous 20- Ludicrous Exclusively for Songs Like vROFL- Impossible Unless, you plan putting vROFL under Ludicrous. I took out all the words that contained "Very" in them, and replaced them with their own unique difficulty, that also represents closely to their own separate difficulty level based on the other difficulties around it. Sorry for completely re-doing it, looks better without "Very" all the time in my opinion. - The Demanding difficulties didn't really sink in with me, it just looked like filler, so I swapped them out with something that would be a little more descriptive of what to find in those certain songs. - I don't think we need to make another "For ______ Only" Bracket because It's jam-packed as it is trying to put in Stepman Only right now. Also, FEO doesn't sound all that great when you say it. - The only thing I haven't changed is the For Masters Only and For Gurus Only titles for token and abbreviation purposes. Considering that you planned on removing the FSO abbreviation, and For Stepmen Only, I changed it to something a little more menacing. - I made a difficulty for vROFL itself because it is a dump file, and has no proper place among other legit FFR files. Also, if any other dump files come into the game, this would be a valuable place to put them, along with event files that were meant to only be put into the game for a couple of days, making it easier for players to find said event files, and dump files. -EDIT- Forgot to point out that I left challenging where it was as a reminder about when you are transitioning between difficulties 1-10, and 11-20.

Re: New Difficulty System Name Suggestions
A few comments:
-I dont like Oni as a term. most people would have no idea what that means (including me)... -I've always been puzzled by having easiest AND beginner as different difficulties. to me they mean the same thing... thanks Middie for your suggestion. -I like for legends only. makes FLO. not the greatest acronym, but better than FSO looks anyways. -bahamuts suggestion "Impossible" i find fitting. nothing can be harder than the impossible ;) I know... bit sappy -I'm against flashy lingo. I recon difficulty names is something that should be pretty low key. -I guess i'm partial to "Very" since they've been in the game already... I've combined my favorites. I'm not a huge fan of my 9 & 10 suggestion, but i'm not entirely sure what else would be good... 01- Beginner 02- Very Easy 03- Easy 04- Light 05- Moderate 06- Standard 07- Tricky 08-Very Tricky 09- Heavy? 10- Very Heavy? --- 11- Difficult 12- Very Difficult 13- Challenging 14- Very Challenging 15- For Experts only 16- For Masters only 17- For Gurus only 18-For Legends only 19- Ridiculous 20- Impossible

Re: New Difficulty System Name Suggestions
Thanks mate ;D
Also guys, try to remember that we are aiming for unique acronyms across the board. Undoubtedly the biggest pain in thinking up new titles. With a need for more hard titles I changed D/VD from difficult to demanding as it fit better in the harder area of the difficulty scale. But as with all of these suggested titles, are up for votes to change ;D --- Edit: Quote:
The only song in the 20 difficulty range is vRofl, hence it was put in the OP as ???, much as it appears in the engine atm as a 14~ That being said, nice usage of terms Stinger, my only issue with some of the titles is repetitive acronyms which would make referencing files a little tricky over time. (Though I am confident people would be able to adjust) --- Double Edit: I am aware that in saying we are after unique acronyms that I have used Easiest and Easy in theOP list, lol
