Add 5 star cut off to Manage Scores page

First of all, thanks Jcirri for this amazing website. If it weren't for this site, i would have gotten board with this game a long time ago.

I had an idea, who knows if it's a new one or not.

Is there anyway you could add something similar to a spread on a users manage score page that shows how far away they are from reaching 5*'s. Just thought it'd be an interesting feature for the newer guys and people battling to get 5*'s (myself being one of those guys).

If someone else has already suggested this, sorry.

It would be an interesting feature. I'm not sure if JC will do it, mainly because not all of the cutoffs are proven yet.

Memo to self: get off my lazy ass and prove more cutoffs.

Before i posted this, i realized that and forgot to add this to my original post:

Has anyone condsidered simply asking Harmonix or Red Octane the cutoffs. I don't see why they would mind disclosing it. All we really need to know is the base score right, then it's just multiplying that by 2, 3, 4, and 5 (4-7* respectivly)

Maybe it would be easier, with future hope of haveing 6* and possibly 7*, of simply having a "spread to next star" or something like that

In the begining they didn't even want to tell people how the star system worked. And people would give out all different answers about how it was how high your percentage is, how many star powers you got, how big your combo was. A good amount of people believed that it had nothing to do with score until people started prooving their theories wrong.

At that time many people asked how it worked exactly by e-mailing them and then they would respond with very indirect answers.

not that i don't believe you, beause i do, but that just sounds strage. what's the big deal about people knowing the star cutoffs. What do they have to loose by sharing that information. i doubt any of you know, i'm just wondering outloud.

Along with the 6 and 7 star ratings, this is another possibility that can be done once all the cutoffs have been proven. So for anyone wanting this feature, all I can say is to help prove the cutoffs quicker.

And as for emailing RO/Harmonix to find the cutoffs, I was one of the people who requested information about the cutoff system (before I spent countless hours proving things and figuring it all out myself) and I did not receive any reply.

This was my email:

fair enough, i'm working on unsung right now. I've got a pic of a 5* at 261624 making the spread only about 175 points.

one thought on this, any possible way you could alert a person who is submitting a score in that "unknown" area to take a picture. you know how that thing pops up that says "you have entered a score inconsistent with the star rating" or whatever it says. if someone enters a score in unproven range, make a little message that pops up and says "please take a picture, youre score falls in an unknown star rating, help us out" or whatever, i think you get the idea

again, Jcirri i can't thank you enough for this sight and for listening to mine and other peoples ideas, and actually taking the time to respond so thouroughly

*edit* got unsung done, that took way to long! 261590 is 4* and 261591 is 5*

*double edit* wanna hear the sad part, i didn't even know there was a crowd cheat to not fail a song till 3 minutes ago. I actually go those 2 scores legit. Boy i feel dumb, but then again, i guess its kinda cool.
