TOP Players / Tier Requirements Thread - Updated 7/8/09

Unattainable goals make me angry.

Whatever happened to listening to constructive criticism around here. someone makes a point and it's automatically disregarded if it's contrary to someone else's point of view.

I'm not trying to complain or whine, I'm trying to give suggestions to make it better.

Nothing is impossible!!! Keep saying things are impossible and then you'll suck. As awein said, no one should be able to max out tier points. There should always be a higher goal.

Edit: We used to listen to constructive criticism???? That's news to me.

[mnnicol]

I say keep it at 100% for ****s n giggles personally.

And completely off topic, but Sprite, you want to be a babe and unban me from MP please?

If you subscribe to the nothing is impossible theory there really is no hope for you. Go tell a young kid who's father's been dead for his whole life that nothing is impossible. If he tries hard enough, he can bring his dad back from the dead.

There are impossible to win situations.

Yeah probably =/
My bad.


You should probably get me de-modded D:

I guess the problem with 100% is that since it's practically impossible - FGOs are more varied than they used to be, so I'd be REALLY surprised if anyone was good enough to AAA them all, and vrofl probably counts so good luck mashing rank 1 out of that - the scale wouldn't be any different if it went up to, say, 39, and then it's less aesthetically pleasing.

Also: 380ish AAAs is really too much (IMO) to give out a single TP for. It's definitely true that giving out TP bonuses for higher AAA counts will stop people from using large TP bonuses to make the jump to the next tier easier, but I think it's going to end up just being annoying. For people who are just starting to build up TP, I think asking 380 AAAs for a single point is just going to make the vast majority of people not try for AAAs at all. It's a huge thing to try to go for. It took me until well after my first VC AAA to accumulate 400 total AAAs and I've cared about my average rank since the beginning. I really think that setting the initial bar so high will make most people simply not bother with AAAing things at all (unless they've already got a few hundred), and, rather than giving a reward for being good, I think it will end up just being an annoyance for people who want a few extra points and realize they have to spend so much time playing easy songs just to get it.

Basically what I'm saying is that one TP is really not that much, even though 40 is. I think it'd be better to set the bar for one TP bonus a lot lower - maybe around 200ish, or 25%, or something similar - and then require a greater amount of AAAs for each subsequent point. That way, people would probably be more likely to make the jump to the first tier point, but it would require more effort for each additional one, so you wouldn't just be giving away large numbers of points to people who are willing to whore a bit.

Your not a bad mod, you just have a bloated ego because your both amazing at the game and a moderator of it.

Just make sure the list is objective for EVERY teir, not just the topmost ones. Thats really all I ask.

[Sprite-]

*reminding you that I did not decide any of these updates and that I simply added what I was given*

Damn my ego really affected that one sheesh you're right

Ok--cut the crap, that was a bit too far and you know it.

I like the current system. Sure--I have every reason to complain too, I lost 17 AAA points, that's more than likely gonna take me some time to pick up. I actually like the fact that it's statistically against you to get 100% AAAs, but it isn't impossible.

"There's no way that a person can get all AAAs on every song."

Yeah, but there's a chance that a person can get rank 1 on every song. You want that 40th point? You have to dominate each and EVERY song in this game, with everyone aiming at you with a huge crosshair, waiting to pull you down.

It should stay that way. That makes the last point that much more elusive. Impossible? No.

Improbable? Most definitely.

[MinaciousGrace]

what are the new point requirements for each tier anyway, and what are the maximum number of points under the new list

also sprite you need some egobismol for serious

[Sprite-]

Jimerax will be deciding the tier requirements. I'm not sure what max is and I'm too tired to count them all.

[MinaciousGrace]

wait, self pwnt

The only way to find out the max TPs for this update is to wait for JX to remove all of the unwanted songs, which isn't going to happen just yet.

I'm pretty sure LD recoded the AAA bar when rubix had all #1's, but not all AAA's. If i'm mistaken then so be it.

Wahh you lost 17 AAA bonus points, I have 75% of the game AAA'd and I lost 25 Tp's from it. Thats a little redic.

[mnnicol]

Egobismol lmao

[qqwref]

Hey Sprite-, the ==Planet KARMA== 9/9 TP req has a typo or something. It says "1 or fewer (4,764,875)" but 4764875 points is what you'd have if you got 5 goods. I assume you meant 5 goods instead of 1? 1 good is 4765975 points.

It'd probably be worthwhile to check all the numbers, just in case something similar happened somewhere else.

[Sprite-]

Nice find. Fixed
