Why do we still have the 40 credit limit?

Ultimaeblah · 09-30-2008, 12:44 PM

With a huge number of songs that give over 3mil points, why are we still limited to 40 credits a song?

LLaMaSaUceYup · 09-30-2008, 12:47 PM

Yes.
There is a possibility that it could be changed someday.

But for now, it's actually fair.

It kind of makes credits more valuable...if you could get 100 credits on a song, it would be easier to gain credits in the long run, and therefore depreciating their value.

As it stands, the 40 credit cap makes credits worth just as much as the dollar. Pretty crazy.

Not really, because you can just play songs that end at 40 credits anyway. Taking out the limit would not change the value of the credits.

You can also play the fastest songs and then quit out at 40 credit limit.

I would like to see the cap removed for exactly the reason Izzy just said, it wouldn't change the value of credits all it basically is right now is that we are getting ripped off. And with the increase in purchased songs and secret songs and increase in tournaments I would like to see the cap gone, once and for all.

I agree with this 1000% percent, the credit filter should perish forever!

**Yoshiisland** · 09-30-2008, 06:09 PM

We should just raise the credit gap to 50. If we removed the credit gap, how people would get Unknown Girl?

The admins could change it to "At least 40 credits" to unlock UNknown girl.

**kmay** · 09-30-2008, 06:11 PM

you would still need 1200 combo for 40 credits or a lot of perfects and a high combo. it wouldn't make getting unknown girl any easier

[TeRa] · 09-30-2008, 06:13 PM

I don't see any problem with how it already is.

**x After Dawn x** · 09-30-2008, 06:14 PM

It's staying at 40 and it's not going to change. Besides, credits are already easy enough to get...all you need to do is mash a song without good PA and you instantly unlock 40 credits. I don't want to be seeing people mashing 100-150 credits per song.

NFD · 09-30-2008, 06:20 PM

Credit inflation is serious business.

Don't speak if you don't know the facts.

**tha Guardians** · 09-30-2008, 07:00 PM

The problem with this is credits go by points. Points go by combo. So if you're good, you'll be able to play FFLBF and FC it constantly, while someone who gets say 1 miss a run on it will get about half the credits. This in turn will push people to mash more often, and nobody likes mashers :/

Card Man · 09-30-2008, 07:02 PM

I would love credits to not have a cap. It would just make the game for fun; especially for harder songs. Having a cap makes a hard song the same as a very hard song because it doesn't matter anymore when you reach 40. Well, this is just my opinion.

**awein999** · 09-30-2008, 07:02 PM

I would like to see it removed completely...if I play fflbf I think I should get more credits than shining little star or something like that. I mean it takes like 6 billion points or so as it is to get to 100k credits so it's not like they are close to too plentiful or anything. And BECAUSE they are sooo easy to get it makes it annoying after a while. Maybe additional credits could be added depending on how good your pa is on certain songs...

I meant it's not going to change any time soon...as far as I know, the admins are busy working on other things with the game and have higher priorities on what to fix (such as avmisses in replays) than a credit limit in a song.

This is exactly why sometimes I feel the whole total score shouldn't be based on a combo but on your PA. Not to change the subject but I am sure we all know or feel that a single digit good with 1 miss should be worth more than 20 goods with no misses. In any case, knowing all of this; letting the cap go would also change game-play a lot; hopefully for the better...

I've never understood the legit reason for the existance of credit cap.
