Guitar/Bass Optimal Paths - New Site (All songs up to 2010)

Okay, how about this...

Release it to those who take the time to PM you for the Program.
I don't get what the problem is, it is a tool, and a tool should be used. Those who want to use it should, and those who don't want to will not.

You would also need the Skill of playing the song and squeezing to get a high Leaderboard score.

EDIT: Also...

Ok...no one even responded to me.

So I'll explain more:

Most of the top players do not want this released, as they work hard on paths, and therefore, their work should not be hurt, correct?

Some of the more high quality players POST VIDEOS ONLINE. And, since Sully was the only one that really I can say this too, you can not have both. You can not post videos of your FC's online, then say that people need to learn to path themselves, when your video IS the optimal path.

The problem with the poll, is that we'd already know the answer. I'm sure the maj. of Scorehero would welcome this, because the pathers are the minority, and would really be the only people who object, besides a few others that believe pathing is part of the game and should not be compromised (myself included).

I had another point, but I forgot. I will add it here if I remember. Oh, I remembered. I've already said it, but I agree that this program should not be released. I'm a moderate/good player here on Scorehero. I actually would love to have paths at my fingertips, it would make the game fun for me, but the reason I side against it is because I would feel cheap, I think it is a skill.

Like Sully said, I think, was something along the lines of, "what's next, making bots to FC the game for us?" Well, what if that IS next, at least to some extent. I'm sure everyone will agree, that an easy song with a hard solo sucks to play, because you know you can FC it, but you just need practice on the solo. So what if there was a program that would FC the easy stuff, so that you could practice the solo, and not worry about messing up in the easy stuff that you normally FC.

Ok, so that analogy made sense when I first thought about it, but now it seems ridiculous. I'll leave it up for people to consider, but I guess it's not a valid point.

This is a very interesting/controversial topic.

Uh, no. Just because Sully posts a video doesn't mean it has the optimal path. If you'll notice, he doesn't post every song. In fact a lot of his aren't optimal at all. I'm not seeing your point. He chooses to upload those if he wants to. Its different than having every single perfect path available with a single click.

how much skill does it take to accurately recreate a chart? So if you look at something that's done via computer, recreate it in the game and come in say... 5th. Are you proud of that? Send a screencap to your friends that don't know your secret. You'll be fucking awesome!!!!

and I am definitely not an elite player worshipper. I was disgusted when I looked at a certain player's scores and they were only entering in FCs. Like a -1 wasn't even good enough to be worthy of being entered. Like they couldn't tolerated the idea of someone seeing that got a -1 on a song no matter how difficult the song is. And one of the notes for a song, which is hard, that he FC'd yet somehow only managed to come in 2nd said "will re FC for 1st later" like no one else had any business having a score in 1st place.

I hate that type of arrogance. Moreso than "sightread." But at least they did their own work.

I understand that pathing takes skills and all, but regardless most (if not all) optimal paths will be released eventually anyways.

Why are people so up in arms about this? It's a god damn video game.
