Bass 2.5/3 2 As Cacahuate mentioned, this is definitely harder than 4.5. I'd give this 5.5/6. Very fun chart to play. Like in the Rhythm path, Bass is also easier than the rating suggests. 3.5, maybe 4 max, just because it's quite fast. Similar level to CoC, so 5.5/6. Perhaps even a little easier. 9 ok, some parts are really challenging.

Do you happen to have a different version of this song? 😮 I noticed you have a different album cover than the other participants who post their screens with scores. I wonder if you might have a more difficult version, hence the higher diff ratings, but then again, you also achieved 99%, so I don't know...

I'm trying to make a point in a rather casual way, adding emoticons. I don't know why you perceive this as rude or offensive. If I disagree with the difficulty rating, I shouldn't mention it, right? 😐 It's always been said that participants are welcome to share their ratings, and host should draw conclusions from that and update ratings. No one is infallible, and difficulty ratings are subjective, so the more raters, the better. Unfortunately, participants rarely do this; perhaps they're unsure themselves, or they don't want their comments to be interpreted as complaints, as you say. Great! 🤣 Sabaton Rytm is definitely too high – just look at how easily participants score around 99%. I honestly don't know why, since you tested it. If you're not sure about something, you can always compare it with other similar charts, e.g. Sabaton Poltava (week 546) or Union (week 552) if I remember correctly had relatively similar charts and were rated only 4. On the other hand Fields of Verdun (week 632) had a 7.5 and was definitely more difficult because it included string-sweeping sections.

Oh yeah, my mistake regarding your comment, sorry. I can never get used to the fact that your comments refer to the image above and not below 😉 My opinion that diff ratings should be consistent still makes sense. Now I know that when playing Bass CoC, I should aim for around a 6, not a 4.5 😃 I expected @nlbsmglsk to come in and say I'm being too bossy here, but apparently he's still recovering from the news that we haven't changed the strings for several years and he'll check back in at least a few months 😅

It annoys me when you write things like this. Ratings are supposed to be CONSISTENT from week to week. So since the difficulty rating level has been defined for a long time, we should stick to it. I'll be even more spiteful because I see you played Sabaton Rhythm, where you achieved 99.67% in the first attempt and here you didn't refer to the rating at all, and if you want low ratings, then there should be max 4 for you 🤪

@drand Unfortunately, I won't be so nice about ratings for Rhythm. Tell me you tested Sabaton Rhythm, right? 🤪 2 ok A little more than 4.5. I'd give this 5/5.5. A very easy chart. I'd give this a 5 at most, but considering that it's the maximum rating for the Int class, and achieving 99% here which gives you level up to adv, isn't much of a challenge imo, so this is more of a 4.5. 7 is completely out of this world. In principle, Int players could jump straight to Masterclass 😄 Yes Masterclass, but more like 8, most of the chart is repetitive chords. In my opinion, CaC song is harder than Sabaton, so this should be Advanced. Sabaton is definitely Intermediate.

Thx for the week @drand Lead scores A quite easy chart, with a very short but more difficult solo. I'd give this 5 for that, but it's easy to boost the score with rest of the chart, so 4.5 is ok. Fun to play. As others have mentioned, I'd say this is more of a 6. There's no demanding solo, but those riffs aren't easy. I'm not sure about 7, but at least 6.5. 8/8.5. I don't like new Sabaton releases as much as the older ones, but this is cool.

Improvements I could get closer to 99 here but chord recognition doesn't allow it. @ALSRC Great result, congrats! I don't feel like fighting for 100% and hoping for a better score 😉

I edited it in DCL Builder. It's very easy and quick, and I think it might be useful in the future, so: After downloading, installing and running https://ignition4.customsforge.com/tools/DLCBuilder Select File and Import PSARC file. Then, select the CDLC you want to import and where to extract it. After a moment, you'll have a menu ready to go, where you can modify various things, such as scroll speed (it was 3.0 here, while the current standard is 1.3), tuning, and you can also edit tones, boost them if they're too quiet, or change them to one of the available DLCs. Basically, everything except directly editing the chart, which requires importing project into chart creation program. After editing something, just click Build Test or Build Release and the modified CDLC will appear in the previously selected folder.

Bass Fun bass charts

Other improvements It's hard to achieve 90 here 😬

I adjusted the scroll speed to current standards, and CDLC immediately plays better. Honestly, Rhythm is relatively easy, and definitely not an 8 - repeating chords (some awkward, but not very difficult) and fairly easy arpeggios. I'd give it a 6.5. 7 is absolutely max, so @robolechuga it would be good if you adjusted rating. Lead deserves an 8.

Rhythm Previously I tested and rated only Lead as 2 in the spreadsheet. But Rhythm is very similar, so it's also a 2, not a 1. This scroll speed makes it difficult to feel the notes. And the tone meant I could barely hear what I was playing 😄

Thx for the week! @robolechuga Nice song that I haven't heard before. Old screenshot from testing. Oh, this is a CDLC almost from the beginning of Customsforge 😮

Bass The same ultra-fast licks as in the guitar paths, and it's even harder to do quickly on the bass. So this is an 8 despite the easier rest of the chart. Terrible hammer on/pull off recognition...
