Alpha 24. Too easy to AA songs?

-joe- · Trick Member Joined: 08 Jan 2003 Location: lv

I was told that freezes in A24 give much higher dance points than in previous versions.

This kind of makes sense because today i AAed payon oni and Minute waltz (zenos)

Any confirmation of this? and will future releases be the same as well?
I think its kind of cheesy, I want to get the AA because I earned it, not because i got a crapload of OK!'s and non combo steps.

any way you can change this?

Aha! I thought I was getting AAs where I didn't deserve them...looks like I'm not partially insane...

I've noticed this as well.. Although I'm not sure if it's actually easier or not, it does seem to give AA's a little easier.

A24 is a stupid update, the scoring system is REALLY screwed up, someone must have gotten shot for that. And you're right, if the song has a ton of freezes, the song is stupidly easy to AA.

They noticed this very quickly on the FFR boards. Someone got 71 mil on Payon and it gave them a AA o_O. But it isn't all freezes because it happened on songs with very few freezes also. And what is this RC1 you speak of joe?

"RC1" = Release Candidate 1

Stepmania 3.9 has finished alpha testing and is very near release (release version will be 4.0 I believe). This is good news for skinners, as there will likely be no more metrics changes.

I think the weird scoring still exists in RC1 though. I felt like I got a couple of undeserved AAs.

this is what the code in the metrics should look like (not the regular metrics, the data metrics)

Annon, thats exactly what the metrics say in A24

I always thought marvelouses were 3 DP? OKs have always been 6, arcade and otherwise. everything else looks alright though.

if marves were 3 than you could have a results screen that's all marvs and a great and it would be a AAA, and the statement "i've done better, but this was my first AAA on it" would never be true. the marv points always bugged me, so i turned them off.

Without freezes, you would have to have 80 greats to AA Maxx Unlimited on Extreme, all songs with alot of freezes are like this wether on SM or arcade.
