When you play FFR MP

**psychoangel691** · 02-13-2012, 12:05 PM

do you use the velocity or legacy engine? If you can use either select both please.

**rushyrulz** · 02-13-2012, 12:15 PM

Nobody is ever in velocity MP, so I use legacy. Velo MP is still a little buggy so that's a factor too.

**psychoangel691** · 02-13-2012, 12:17 PM

I typically don't see many in MP in general when I go in :/ I had a feeling that legacy was the most used but I wanted to make sure. Thinking about a possible event.

**rushyrulz** · 02-13-2012, 12:21 PM

I'm in MP a lot and I've never gone into velo MP and seen more than like 1 person in the lobby, if even that, whereas legacy MP has about 8-15 people in it on average.

Definitely legacy. Seems like they're both dead nowadays though..
I remember back when it was normal to see like 15+ people in the lobby and maybe 5-10 games going on at all times in the evenings. haha :]

I don't even know how to access MP on the velo engine. Only reason I use velo is when I want to have fun using a different noteskin or use the advantage of the PA counter for something. Legacy for serious play and MP.

How do you access MP on the velo engine?

I personally use Velo, but I think it may be a little glitchy. I played someone in it about two months ago, and when I look at my MP stats it shows me having played them twice in each song. O.o

**CammyGoesRawr** · 02-13-2012, 12:40 PM

Legacy for me (: simply cuz i have a bit of lag with velo MP, and i'm so accustomed to legacy now.

I think an MP event/tournament is a great idea! I would love to see how other players in my division perform on the fly. Plus, it'll encourage more active players in MP. I also prefer Legacy.

**Sky Kitten** · 02-13-2012, 12:52 PM

I use legacy.

If an event is to run in MP, I'll be sure to partake in it. MP needs recognition anyway. :/

**shadow 1800** · 02-13-2012, 01:02 PM

just had to.

**sticklydude** · 02-13-2012, 01:11 PM

I try to stay away from Legacy as much as possible, so I never get to play MP

**UserNameGoesHere** · 02-13-2012, 01:17 PM

I use legacy but MP's pretty buggy for me anyway. Plus with the song loading bug still around you'll have to be really careful to select only charts which don't have that problem.

And aside from the song loading problem (which isn't MP-specific .. but would dictate chart selection) MP in-game chat messes up to the point where after a game is played I effectively can't type in MP in-game chat anymore but the other person can -- pressing "Enter" literally will put a newline in my text I'm typing rather than submit it to chat/etc... unless I press it a bunch rapidly, and throws all those newlines up in the chat too lol. This happens after playing any one match (remedy by logging back out and logging back in to MP after any one song is played).

There's some other weirdness with some of the games in MP sometimes too -- it'll think you're in some game when you're not sometimes - then you can't join anything because it thinks you're already in a game.

Looks like the legacy engine's gonna win this one. I do want to do an MP event but also know it wont be perfect because of lag issues and such. Hopefully we can still have a successful event regardless.

00Razor00 · 02-13-2012, 02:37 PM

legacy all day every day

even though i derped and voted on velocity oops

**j-rodd123** · 02-13-2012, 02:40 PM

i loooove mp, wish more people would play like it used to be

. I always use legacy for the same reasons posted above, but yea multiplayer needs more hype

**FontSize72LOL** · 02-13-2012, 05:05 PM

I'd play Velo if people actually played it, but since 99% of the community prefers legacy for MP, i suppose that will have to do.

Anaru · 02-13-2012, 05:29 PM

it's not that everyone PREFERS legacy

it's just that everyone's been using legacy since the beginning for multiplayer, and the directions for getting onto velocity MP isn't clear at ALL

(you have to find the link and go on it, woop.. for legacy you just click multiplayer on the engine)

so yeah, velocity is a better engine but 99% of the people are used to legacy

**reuben_tate** · 02-13-2012, 05:35 PM

I normally play velo when I'm not playing MP, but the MP version of velo is too buggy and laggy for me so I'll use the legacy engine for MP. Although if the bugginess and lagginess was fixed in the velo engine, I'd go back to that one.
