Let us know your opinions on the accuracy of the difficulty scores (1-10) for this weeks songs.

I was hesitant to try a whole album because I wasn't sure if I was going to spend close to an hour stumbling over obscure chords. That was not that case. It was pretty fun! First time listening to Sabaton as well.

 

 

 

The bass was also fun, but half way through the second to last song the difficulty dropped off. I know I put the entire song at 100% when I started but the sections were not visible. I tried to change it in Riff Repeater right after it happened (while still in the song) so I didn't have to start over but it wouldn't let me change that section. I don't know if this still counts, or if I have to edit it in one of the programs, or just try it on Score Attack.

 

 

@@Wi11 - you really need to turn dynamic diffulty off in the in game settings (for your profile once, not in RR for each song)! DD is just nonsense, for you and the CS with no discussion, for everyone in my opinion.

 

And you really should repair your newly downloaded songs - it´s one click only and you get a tidy library with working songs, stats and playcount.

man, shoulda done score attack

:ph34r:

This is not the style of music i would ever listen to on my own.  But its really fun to play.   The championship keeps giving me great songs.

 

bass +, whoops - oh ... a ticket to MC

 

 

...cause heavy metal pirates we must be ...

Dynamic difficulty is turned off in the game settings. I have always thought DD to be a waste of time. It makes more sense to play the full song at slower speeds than to play a percentage of the actual notes. 

 

I assumed that even when DD was turned off that you had to level up the song in RR when playing it for the first time. Is there a way around this in Learn a Song?

 

I'm attempting to download the CF Song manager but I'm running into some roadblocks. This probably isn't the correct thread to ask a bunch of question though. 

That looks better.

 

Some score attacks:

I think this song is too easy to rate 7. Achieving a result above 99% is not a big challenge here. I managed to get close to 100% on the third attempt, but I don't want to publish my score if I'm going to be promoted to the masterclass. If I can refuse a promotion, I'll show it here.

I also don't want to propose lowering the difficulty rating, so as not to block your chance of promotion if you want to :)

@Wi11  You need to use the "override to max" setting

 

+ rhy

 

 

some MC lead

 

 

Some improvement

 

 

This one is easier than it seemed on first play

bunch o' random misses yay, meh streak. well at least its score attack now.
starting to dig poltava, right bop.

 

Very underrated song, one of my favs from Death Magnetic

The solo is complete nonsense tho

I liked it!

Ahhhh, that is great to know. Thanks!

 

I downloaded the song manager, EOF, and the RS toolkit. Time to do some tinkering.

This one is growing on me.

Na, you are right, thats on the very easy side of a 7, it´s hard for a 6 though, we make it a 6.5 - we belong to ADV in bass right now.

And you never have to hold back any score, just add a comment that you wanna stay in your class, if your classmates don´t have reason to object, all stays the same!
