@thepapadell said in Sds can you raise the difficulty In RS:
They either need to make pitch speeds universal with PCI size decreasing as you go, or introduce a difficulty-specific set of playlists for people to choose from.
I understand not wanting to alienate people that can't handle HoF or above. But I also avoided RS most of the year because I just don't want to play this game on All-Star in a "competitive environment." So it works both ways in a sense.
Have an AS playlist, HoF playlist and Legend playlist. AS can be for casual players or folks that just want to avoid too many sweaty games or to even try out cards. HoF can be for people like me that want competitive games where strategy and skill/input need to matter more. And Legend can be there for the highest level players to play each other without having to grind through lower levels "just because" and just open up the freedom to play.
I'd happily jump into a Legend game not expecting to win but expecting the game to be more tense and assume I'm gonna struggle against great players. I'd play almost exclusively on HoF. I would never play AS.
This is one of the only games I can remember playing online where I couldn't actually choose what I was playing and get forced to just go through the motions.
I like your playlist idea.
