Another Idea

**ELRayford** · 01-12-2008, 11:02 AM

I have been trying to increase my levelrank average as of late. I was playing and had a thought....

PA mode. This mode could be an option in settings that you could turn on or off. When PA mode is enabled, FFR the game will auto fail you as soon as you get a higher number of goods than your current best for that song. Now I know this can be manually set with the current auto fail function. What I am suggesting is some sort of code to query your goods before you play and set auto fail for that number of goods for each song. So instead of changing the auto fail each time manually it would just automatically set it for you each song.

Code and server load....well I have no clue what any of that would bring forth. With that in mind please discuss.

Thanks again

Sounds pretty sweet. I wouldn't mind it xD

Or a checkbox in the Settings for Perfect, Good, Average, Miss, and Boo, for PA mode, in case you got less goods than last time, but you got 3 averages and got a lower score.

good idea, but for one flaw. What if your best is a conglomeration of goods, avs, misses, and boos? The only way it could tell if you did better is by your end result.

If they could code the good count I am sure the other arrows can be accounted for.

Well, at that point, what you're asking is for the game to constantly figure out what your final score will be, compared to your last final score, and tabulate the point at which getting only perfects for the rest of the song cannot possibly generate you a higher score.

That sounds more than too server intensive to go with.

I think once you get much past "A checkbox that just auto-fills some auto-fail fields without me having to do it" you're getting into over complexity.

its a good idea however i dont think i would use it i just play for fun

I think it would benefit too few users, and it puts extra strain on the database as a query has to be made before the game even starts... so my suggestion is to just look at your score, figure it out yourself, and adjust autofail accordingly.

or use beta level reader to tell you what your past best score is.

Yeah, plus, they're already thinking of implementing a PA meter. So you can just watch that, and decide if you want to fail or not.
