Hi there! I'm a pretty new player that's been sucked into this game and can't escape, just like the rest of you.
As I have been browsing the forums at work, since I cant play here , I have noticed many discussions about how mods should NOT be used until x rank or x pp. While I fully understand that for HR (which was the main topic in those threads), I was wondering if everyone felt the same for HD. Like is it going to "ruin" my learning of fundamental skills, or is it really just a preference for this mod.
Personally, I feel like I have an easier time, and maybe enjoy playing more, with HD. I can listen to the music instead of watching the circles and tend to hit notes more accurately than I would without. And before you bash me with "accurate?!? you are awful w/ acc... blah blah". I know my accuracy is bad but I believe that to be mostly from my lack of skill with alternating my mouse clicks with out me just mashing the buttons. ex: spaced triples and whatever those mini streams are called in high 3 to low 4* maps. and yes I did say mouse clicks, I point and click with just the mouse.
Also a side question cause two birds one stone.
I just started playing some AR9 maps, or rather spent hours on a few that I enjoyed the song. the next day I went back to play random stuff and found that I was doing miserably at the AR8 (hitting everything a mile early). The question is do I even need to worry about that? should I focus on improving my accuracy on AR9 since the majority of maps use that in the 4* range? Should I be trying to play a mixture of them and just "get used" to the difference in them? Or do you think I should stay away from AR9 until later?
