Demon Difficulty star ratings idea

first thread in a while lol

I think many people will agree that Erebus shouldn't be worth the same amount of stars and orbs as The Nightmare, so I thought of a few ideas that could even that all out

1) Star and orb ratings

basically, instead of every demon being worth 10 stars and 500 orbs, Depending on the difficulty it has, the number of stars could change, and here's how I think it could go

Easy Demon - 10 stars/500 orbs
Medium Demon  - 15 stars/750 orbs
Hard Demon - 20 stars/1000 orbs
Insane Demon - 50 stars/3000 orbs
Extreme Demon - 100 stars/5000 orbs

some of these star ratings probably might seem high or low to some people but this is just an example on what it could be

This might cause problems, as there are some demons rated Hard Demon that should be much lower or much higher difficulty, and I know a way to fix that, which brings me to the next point

2) Lock Demon Difficulties/Give GD Mods ability to lock difficulties

You may know that when a demon is rated, people can add their opinion on what the difficulty should be with a button in the level's menu, which can actually change the display difficulty. That can change the levels difficulty. What you may not know is that RobTop can override a demon's difficulty so that it is locked and can't be changed by anyone


the way it could work is that a demon's difficulty stays at 10 or 20 stars until it is overridden by RobTop to change the stars. The only problem is that this may lead to levels being left out and rated 10 or 20 stars for a long time when it should be higher or lower. This brings my point in about GD Mods. The mods right now are only able to send levels to RobTop. Another thing they can do is have RobTop's same ability to lock a level difficulty so that it changes it's stars, and with over 50 people on the GD mod team it would render that issue nearly non-existant.

The only real problem that would remain is star count if the game gets updated with this change, and here's my last point

3) if the game is updated with this, run an algorithm that will change everyone's stars to fit the difficulties

The game does know how many of each demon difficulty you have completed (search filters) so if the game gets updated RobTop should run an algorithm that goes through every player, checks how many of each demon difficulty they've beaten, and updates the stars depending on how much the player beat whichever demon difficulty.

Anyways, that's my idea on how this could work
