This shit is so fucking retarded.
Fuck me. I have had a lot of disagreements with the design of this game. Atleast 20 feature request made that have been [invalidated] and other shit like that. But honestly this fucking travesty is worse than literally every other flaw in this game combined, be it a glitch or just bad design.
Bloody hell. How can anyone even call this a competitive game? Its a joke! Its like as there were a rule in boxing that you were not allowed to have sparring matches... ever. Especially in rhythm games. One would expect that a practice mode be the first thing that gets implemented. THE FIRST THING! Like really, a pp system? Why have such a indepth ranking system for a game that is clearly designed just to be "fun" with absolutely no competitive aspect. It just makes no sense.
But sea_food! just use the NF mode to practice
What if I dont want to play the whole song, when only a small part of the song is hard?
But sea_food! you can just go to editor and start playing from what point you want
Test play does not allow Background dim. Test play does not allow disable storyboard. Test play does not allow to play with HT or with DT. Now that I mention it, a practice mode should definetly allow more speed options than that. What if you are trying to pass a song on HT, and want to practice it even slower?
But sea_food! You can just delete the visual effects. You can just delete the start of the beatmap so you can skip to the part you want to practice, then you can use the mods, and filters you want on standard play. You can just create multiple difficulties of the song if you want to practice different specific parts. You can just watch a quick 30minute map editing video so you can create even more difficulties with different speeds, allowing you to play at what ever speeds you want. You can jus...
Shut the fuck up! Good luck doing half of that shit in osu!2 or what ever its called. Also why should I go trough all of those walk arounds just becausa a rythm game, that is turning 10years old this year, does not have a god damn practice mode. Even suggesting any of this just confirms that this feature is necessary. You should not be telling me that bluename denied the feature 7years ago, back when the game did no have even pp1, background dim or any of the other features that even attempted to give osu! some competitive aspect. You should be telling Peppy that its a feature that is absolutely needed.
Not going to apologize for ranting. I was supposed to just Come bump some ancient thread to the front, because I figured it had been suggested before but bluename just beeing too lazy to program it, with there being all the crappy workarounds. But just realized that it was actually [denied]. Compleatly deserved.
