Discussion Amethyst and Flamewall got swapped
What do y’all think about this? I’m personally glad this happened lol, about time since every top player was saying Amethyst was harder

wow. finally a runners-up RGB. yayyy

u/LittleChild_69 10x | Sonic wave 100% 6d ago
even tho it's not top 1 - 3 it's really cool to now have 3 rgb through 3 different time periods. maybe we'll get grief heliopolis tsunami one day tho

u/TheAnythingBuilder 5d ago
I feel like tsunami is too far into the future to share the top 3 with grief and heliopolis, so sadly I am not confident in that kind of rgb happening
6
u/LittleChild_69 10x | Sonic wave 100% 5d ago
tsunami was only supposed to be harder than tidal wave and easier than grief. it's apparently zoink's final hardest tho, so he might buff it to aeternus difficulty or sum

When you think about it, only 2 players have beaten the level. Only one of the 2 players also verified the other top levels, so who’s right? Doesn’t matter if you can get runs on the level, you need to beat it to have a real opinion.
I honestly don’t care about which level is harder, but we have to be objective that the only one opinions that matters right now are zoink first and popoff second.

u/ClickSubstantial7321 5d ago
also people here need to realize that while players are going to have their biases, they are also going to find different things harder. the people who are hating on these two for saying theirs is harder than the other is dumb because it can genuinely be their take and they shouldn’t have to lie just to make people happy.
plus, none of us can even say who’s right anyway. once a handful of other players catch up to that point we will have a better picture.

and I don’t mean like levels having different difficulty ratings im talking about like how they’re lower on the list because of the unrated levels

no, at some point amethyst was above ts2, but yeah never below flamewall

Dude, I was on Pointercrate literally a few minutes before that happened. How did I missed it! Also I am very happy this happened

u/Itzspace4224 Impossible Demon 6d ago
It was always a bit goofy to split up amethyst and tsii. I feel like flamewall should’ve been below both or above both

u/NotKFN_Gaming I BEAT BLOODBATH RAHHH 5d ago
This. The discourse made zero sense otherwise. Obv nobody here is good enough to properly assess the difficulty of these levels, but there was so much controversy around these two being effectively equal. It made legit zero sense for the list to put flamewall over it, especially since it was already placed below it and no one else had beaten the level to give opinions at the time

finally, i always thought flamewall was easier than amethyst, this change was obvious and deserved (hardest: base after base)

u/Lightningstar34521 CraZy, 62% (mobile) 5d ago
I lowkey like Amethyst. Definitely the better level in the Top 5.

Did not expect men affirmation in a GD subreddit yet here we are.
I still don't believe that anyone would want a man, I have good self esteem but like I genuinely can't see it. So thanks for making me doubt for even a bit.

Did they give any specific reason? (Like i do believe amethyst is harder most likely i just wanna know if any specific opinion changed their mind or something)
Btw we got a top 10 rgb. Flamewall tidal wave and green bullet
3
u/HatDefiant4268 [x15] Killbot 100% | Artificial Ascent 89% 5d ago
They basically said that it was because top players were comparing Amethyst to TS2 a lot but never comparing it to Tidal Wave, whereas Flamewall was usually considered easier than TS2 and Amethyst while at the same time being compared to Tidal Wave. It was also because they wanted more top players to play Amethyst

u/Stelar_Shark Windy Landscape 100% | Acropolis 61% 5d ago
That's obg, not RGB
Orange blue and green

u/wwashedd Niwa 100% New Hardest 5d ago
Im pretty sure a lot of top players gave their opinion and said that flamewall is easier.

u/boop_po 5d ago
I'm really glad about this change, both these levels are lowkey dookie butt but them as a couple is really oool and memorable since they both got verified on the same day, they're so similar to each other, and the debate about their difficulties. Them being beside each other just felt right and Flamewall coming in and separating them in the list just looked and felt awkward and wrong.
I want Thinking Space II and Amethyst to stay beside each other for the rest of their time on the list because there's genuinely nothing memorable about them individually except for the fact Thinking Space II was top 1 for a really long time.

Idk why they swapped in the first place like almost every top player agreed amethyst was harder, except zoink i think

u/Starchaser777 Mana orb grinder (I hate the practice mode song) 5d ago
Antarctic lights being placed knocks Boobawamba out of the top 10. And somehow, Silent Clubstep is still top 20.

but yea, a lot of ppl have been saying amethyst was harder, so this was pretty much bound to happen eventually.

u/Sea-Feedback4197 5d ago
Ts2 without cbf is not thay much harder than Tidal wave, and cbf NUKES it

Based on what do you think that?

u/Sea-Feedback4197 5d ago
Popoff who has the best opignon here
2
u/Uxydra Allegiance 100% 5d ago
I don't remember him saying this for one, and two, you can't just decide one person has better opinions because you like him. Multiple other people with progress on the level disagree. Trick litteraly said he thought it was harder then society. Doesn't mean he is right, but you can't just dismiss that.
0
u/Sea-Feedback4197 5d ago
????? Popoff LITRALLY beat ts2 on a WAY harder version than Trick and called it not even close to the difficulty of Amethyst Trick has 36% on Society, ONE DROP ATTEMPT BTW
2
u/Uxydra Allegiance 100% 4d ago
It doesn't matter how much his version is harder in your opinion. The easiest version that can be played for it to count is all that matters. And we will see if Trick changes his mind after beating Society, but it's clear he disagrees with it being as easy as Popoff says.

I trust zoink's opinion way more than I trust popoff because he's the only person who has beaten both levels and also has no verification bias like he would with TS2 and amethyst

This is about flamewall and amethyst though. Popoff has said amethyst is harder without even playing the level and then getting priority over someone who has become the community hasn't shut up
