I am for removing "easy mode". No one uses it. People who play easy difficulties don't need it, (if they do then I really wonder if they open their eyes while playing) because the easy mode itself doesn't really change much on the easy difficlty as said already.

People who play insane maps are "supposed" to be able to pass them (ranked maps). If not, then you are not so good for insane difficulty and training insane maps with easy mods is ridiculous.

Tag4 maps are not designed for playing solo so it is "normal" that people shoulnd't use easy mod to pass them (people do it just for fame aka "yeah I passed tag4 solo! (with easy and no fail)).

Approved/super insane maps are made especially insane to be not easy to pass and using easy mode to pass them is like people, who are not new to the game and are good and they play easy maps with all mods for lolz because they don't need to play easy with all mods if they can play insane without any to become better (what should be the purpose of different difficulties).

P.S. In my opinion "easy mode" is just useless and unnecessary and could be removed since it doesn't fulfill it's task

I'm agreeing with Lybydose. At the moment, Easy Mod is too powerful for its own good. Instead of making beatmaps easier, it turns them into total sensory overload. I'm thinking that subtracting a static number from the various difficulty settings would work the best (say, 2 or 3 notches (ignoring Circle Size of course which should be one size bigger at maximum)).
I also agree that the current lives system is totally dopey and would be better off removed all together. (seriously, if you can't beat a beatmap without failing at some point, just use No Fail for goodness sakes)

On this point I disagree with you - if it is about removing the mod on the three games - because Easy makes the scrolling speed a little slower in taiko. (Like StrangeProgram. WTF is that SV?)

But the only times I tried some hard songs (You F***ing motherf***er) with Easy in standard Mode I could not read it properly orz...

To get easily 1.260 in taiko after 100 combo ? XD

(Also if it disappears I'll lose a #1 LOL)

Perhaps it could use a system like this:

And to avoid breaking the old scores, it could just stay set at the lowest at in all 3 sliders:

Change Easy mod so you can choose your preferred difficulty settings.

A maps got AR9 and OD9 and you can't play it because of that? No problem, decrase both by 1 and get a -20% point penalty. Which means -10% for every single value decreased.

Do it, now.

I remember giving my opinion about this in a previous thread and i suggested something like this:

HP Drain: -3 or -4 (+removing the restore health thing)
Circle Size: +1 (maybe?)
Approach Rate : -1 (or maybe no modifications at all)
Overall Difficulty -2.

I thought this would be a layout that could work for hard and Insane maps, the only ones that actually may need the use of a Easy mod (Is there someone who would apply Easy mod to a 1 Star Easy map?). But i still can't think of a Multiplier for it.

Anyway this was a suggestion i made some time ago and i honestly don't think it's the best one.
The only reason i kept it that simple was to avoid having to reinvent the whole mod, but I will give my support if i see/find some good ideas here.

Nothing is gonna be done about this since there are plenty of top scores with this mode and changing how it works would affect the rankings, if this is ever gonna be checked out and fixed, while you're on it please go and raise HR bonus since it has the same as HD which is way easier thx.

Easy mode was hugely helpful when I first joined the game. Of course it's going to make insane maps into a mess, that's not what it's designed for. It's a mod to make the easiest maps even easier so that brand new players can get used to hitting circles.

I think Lyby points out a great mis-aspect of the game. With the at-least-one-difficulty-under-the-star-rating-3.00 rule in place, the easiest difficulty in a mapset should be approachable to completely new players. LH has a point, but if the easiest difficulty in a mapset needs an Easy mode for players to be able to pass it, then it is more likely that the Easy difficulty was mapped wrongly than that Easy mode is really helpful.

I am for tweaking the Easy mode so that it actually makes the maps easier rather than completely removing it. Decreasing the AR/OD by a static number (2 seems appropriate) and increasing the circle size by 1 only when the circle size is under a specific value (perhaps 3 or lower?) seems like a good solution to me.

3) Make the current Easy mode a difficulty increasing mod with a score multiplier (lol). It would certainly be harder than Hard Rock, Hidden, and even Flashlight on a lot of maps.
That would be interesting.

The only thing that bothers me about Easy is AR and 3 hp refills. Maybe easy mod should just reduce AR by 2 and have the hp refill instantly instead of a pause then a sudden go. (And possibly failing again because you werent ready)

Or maybe an Easy mode that acts based on the star rating/maps setup.

For the second one, i mean a behavior based on the map slider speed, distance snap and OD. Something like that. (Maybe that could help with the stacking problems)

What about score multiplier then? It wouldn't be "fair" if 1 person uses easy mode to set every option to 1 and the other person will set it from 9 to 8 or just slightly change the map difficulty.

If you want to make a different multiplier for different settings, then what multiplier should be chosen for each setting possibility? Making it possible to change for example approach rate, hp drain and cicrle size on insane songs from 9 to 1. That will lead into xxxx possibilities which you can choose and all must have an appropriate score multiplier. Even if you will spend years of calculating that who says that it can't be somehow abused/cheated/hacked or anything like that since the latest "problems" about 'hacking". It also will be way harder to find that out with different settings and multiplier rankings.

I think it should be just removed or made unranked. Maybe just unranked so that people can learn to play Osu! first without screwing their statistics. (Although there are relax and auto play mods for that too but would be an alternative). What to do with already ranked songs/maps with people using Easy Mode? Nothing. Keep them as they are. (Reminds me of the Flashligh problem when it was also removed but people could keep their already completed scores). Anyway making this mode unranked will not influence any high-end gameplay, because the score multiplier is lower than the "no mod" gameplay anyway.

P.S. I wrote (in my opinion) the reason why I think the "easy mode" shouldn't be used anyway in a previous post.

Why not? it's 0.5x anyway, and the max score is further augmented by the difficulty you set. You don't think it's fair that someone can use HP1 and OD1 on some random map and get 90% of the score of someone who does HP5 OD5?

Neruell wrote:

It's built into osu! We don't have to do anything.

The max score of an OD 10 map will always be much higher than if it were at OD1. The further 0.5x modifier ruins any chance of anyone ever getting some "top score" on some song with it, and you can theoretically make the map harder if the mapper didn't do it right with ease.

Finally, I could actually play all my songs at AR8, the way it's supposed to be, without having to go into the osu file.

So you want to make a specially made difficulty like [Another]/[Lunatic] after using easy mode become [Easy]? (Not literally but in some kind of way) For what? Why would you want to play [Another] with a slightly "better" AP/HP/OD or anything else and get a worse score then someone without using "Easy Mode"? If you do want to do it just for fun you can do it by going into editor and customize any song you like and how you want.

But I don't see any purpose in changing/edit an already ranked map how you want because it will ruin the mapping, modding the map in the first place. If it was ranked like that then it should stay like that. If you want to change it for fun, feel free to do in on your own with editor. If you do want to get a lower score than anyone else on [Lunatic]/[Another] and so on just use any of the mods already provided.

P.S. There is no need to rap the map especially when there are mostly more than 1 difficulty provided. Don't like [Lunatic] then play [Hard]. Also I am sure that everyone can post their opinion about maps that are WIP to maybe "improve" it but again if the mapper wants to use the specific circle size then you can't change his mind about it unless it will lead into never getting the map ranked.

2 million points for a 400 combo song is a lot IMO. Granted it'd only be cut down to 1 million with easy. Whatever. Easy is pretty much unranked anyway, because you're not going to get a high score with easy mod on.

Neruell wrote:

No I want to be able to control the approach rate and make a song which I can't pass just easy enough for me to pass.

What a waste of a perfectly good [lunatic] map because the AR, HP, or OD are bad.

This doesn't help for maps which are already ranked, or the mapper is stubborn, or you just can't mod every single map on osu before it gets ranked.

True that easy mod is dumb since you already have easy diffs in pretty much every ranked map, and if you can't follow -99 AR on an Easy map you're better off dropping this game.

Use editor for yourself if you want to customize the map for yourself only. If no one can pass it, the map wouldn't be ranked. Also if you don't like anything about [Lunatic] or w/e play [Hard] because then it will be easier to pass.

For what? If no one can pass it with a good accuracy then maybe you are too bad for the difficulty? Use [Hard] instead of [Lunatic]. If it is for fun then edit it on your own and give it to your friends. (With or without "customizable" Easy mode, you will have to edit the map anyway)

You are willing to ask Peppy that he allows you and only you to "fix" all old maps and also you want to ask every person from today untill the ranking date of the song to retry the song because it was "slightly" improved? Also again, you said yourself you can't change anything anymore when the map is ranked (score based). So once it is ranked you must deal with the settings that are provided. Even if you would be able to "customize" something you will get a worse score which would have the same result as if you would mod it for yourself and play it for youself.

If some settings are bad then the song itself can't be perfect because this settings are already the part of the map itself, like circle cize. Change it and the whole map and impression about it will change. Also feel free to suggest better settings to the mapper before the map gets ranked. Just either deal with it or map your own map before the other was is ranked and convience the BATs that your map is better. But if it's already done then it's done.

But you do want to be able to change every one on your own with the easy mode instead. Since only you would be able to see that changes anyway, because the map is already ranked there is no real difference between "that" easy mode you say and editor. Again, edit it in editor if you want. The amounf of the time you will need will be pretty the same. Go to editor => map settings => change what you need. It would be same for easy mode. Click on easy mode => map settings => change what you need.

Also @Neruell: You're kinda focusing too much on scoring and whatnot. If someone finds it more enjoyable with a slightly different AR/OD, then let them find it more enjoyable instead of telling them to play something they might not find that fun.

Editing a map would mean that you can't get a score on it at all btw, so I don't see how you can say it is exactly the same. It can be used on some maps, especially if it does work like what Ijah said. And it is more tedious to go into editor to fix it, as well as playing in multiplayer.
Yes, you could just edit it and then share it, but don't you request or want stuff because they often make life easier? \:D/

The whole point of "easy" is to make it easier for you. I don't care if someone else can pass it. I can't, but I'd like to. I'd also be fine with a user selectable AR and HP/OD/CS-1 or 2.

Neruell wrote:

Obviously, or we wouldn't be discussing an "easy" mod. But I thought you meant why would anyone play a map on easy with increased OD/CS/HP while getting less points? The answer is multiplayer. I usually don't play multiplayer with friends in particular, and nobody wants to download a new unranked difficulty for a gimmick. It's tedious.

Neruell wrote:

Presumably, when you click on "easy" it would bring up a gui where you can set the AR, OD, HP, and CS all in the mod screen.

Again, multiplayer is easier to use mods, and using mods is much faster than the editor. If you use fullscreen it's even worse. Easy mode would also contribute to your total score, which I don't particularly think is a bad thing. Playing only unranked songs is like lying about your skill level.

Seriously I don't understand why you quote just a part of the sentence saying it's wrong without reading my sentences to the end. Why do you want to make [Lunatic] easier? It's the same as if you have 100 $ and want to buy an icecream that costs 4$ but you pay 100$ without getting anything back. Or if you want to ride a bicycle and start with a pilot license.

If you can't play [Lunatic] then just don't play it. "Easy mode" suppose to make [Easy] even easier than they are so that players with less than 1 playcount can play them. For increasing difficulty there are other mods and difficulties. Play [Hard]. If it is too "easy" for you, use mods to increase the difficulty. If you claim liking the [Lunatic] only then what is the problem about it? If you say AP/HP/OD is bad then you obvious don't like the map or else you wouldn't complain.

wtf? "easy mode" works only in 1 direction => making it easier. Easier means lower AR/OD/... and so on. Increasing something is called hardrock mode.

You mean this screen? As far as I understood this should be want you expect for the "customizable" easy mode.

SPOILER

But it would only look like this because it is easy mode and not "change how you like mode". The easy mode itself should make it easier in general. If you have a map with for example AP 7 you can't raise it to 8 even with the "implemented" easy mode because that is not the purpose of the "easy" mode.

Use editor, edit what you want and how you want and play for fun. That is my answer (did say that tons of times) for without ranking scores.

Well, there is no system that is showing your skill level. Every ranking system that is now (Ranked Score, Playcount, Accuracy, Total score...) everything is farmable and not showing your true skill level. So you are already lying about it to everyone. In multiplayer if you see/ know that no one can pass the song you put on [insane] then put it on [hard] and everyone is happy and that is why there are more than just [insane] difficulties on the map. Compared to old maps that are 2-3 years old the new maps how tons of new rules and difficulties that are extra made for fluent play for any person for new players and pros so why not use it? Older maps can't be changed if you want to get a ranked score. Deal with it. For optimal customization you will need not easy mode but just a customizable mode that can change the map itself how you want. But this has nothing to do with "easy mode" itself which doesn't fit in this topic.

I realize this, but right now, a good number of "actually new to the game" players find faster approach rate easier; slowing it down hardly helps. I don't say "all players" though, because I'm sure some people are better with slower approach rate, that's why I say Easy mod should let you choose.

In addition, on actual easy maps the mod has little effect, since it simply cuts all the difficulty settings in half. Since easy map settings are already really low, cutting them in half doesn't do much (half of nothing is still nothing).

At the very least, the 3 life system needs to be revamped.

Make the new lives work instantaneously instead of interrupting the song and allow the player to choose his settings within a pre-defined margin.
I think it would work decently if you could choose AR freely and every other difficulty option could be lowered up to the point that it would normally be at with the current Easy Mod.
If a map had OD 8, you could choose to set it to anything from 4 to 8 with this mod, same for circle size and life drain.
So if for example you don't want to change your circle size because of stacking/pattern issues you don't have to.

If you can't beat [Lunatic] play [Hard]. Can't play [Hard] play [Normal]. Can't play [Normal] play [Easy]. Can't play [Easy] (HERE IT COMES) use [Easy] WITH "easy mode". Can't do that, quit Osu!. That is a normal logic a normal player would use to play any game not just Osu!. You don't start a game (any game not just Osu!) on insane and then blame it for being too hard or too unbalanced.

That and ONLY that is the purpose of "easy mode" (It is not made for passing over 9000 bpm songs with DT and then getting fame for passing it with "easy mode"). The problem is, it almost changes nothing on [Easy] which makes it almost useless for new players it does even worse with the life refilling because it brings you out of concept especially the new players.

You talk about changing easy mode into "change the beatmap how I like" mode. It has nothing to do with the "easy mode" itself. If you do want a mode that can do so, then do a request for a new mode.

ziin wrote:

Play [Normal]. Be sure to use mods to make it harder.

ziin wrote:

You simply can't do it. It's the same as to say, make DT vary from difficulty. [Easy] is way too slow with DT but [Insane] is sometimes way too fast. Also optimise HR and FL for every map.... That's why no one forces you to use the mods provided. You can set it up as much as you like by choosing different difficulties and using mods.

What about it? People pass this with Halftime to 100% because it has 228 bpm and it is a pretty hard map and Cookiezi has FC with HD. So?... TTTL passed it on [Hard] (Lethal) with DT.

No. And as I said before, hard might not exist. I want to beat lunatic. I can beat lunatic if the AR/difficulty is changed slightly. I won't get top 40 because there's a 0.5x penalty.

I remember giving my opinion about this in a previous thread and i suggested something like this:

HP Drain: -3 or -4 (+removing the restore health thing)
Circle Size: +1 (maybe?)
Approach Rate : -1 (or maybe no modifications at all)
Overall Difficulty -2.

I thought this would be a layout that could work for hard and Insane maps, the only ones that actually may need the use of a Easy mod (Is there someone who would apply Easy mod to a 1 Star Easy map?). But i still can't think of a Multiplier for it.

Anyway this was a suggestion i made some time ago and i honestly don't think it's the best one.
The only reason i kept it that simple was to avoid having to reinvent the whole mod, but I will give my support if i see/find some good ideas here.
yeah it should be changed to something like this
also, easy mod is supposed to be the opposite of hard rock
since hard rock gives +2 to everything save circle size
why not make easy mod give -2 to everything and -1 to circle size?

hardrock is *1.4 and not +2 according to Lybydose.

hardrock is *1.4
caps at 10

You can see this by putting hardrock on an AR7 map and comparing the speed to an AR10 map (without hardrock). You'll see they are almost the same, but the hardrock will be slightly slower.

7 * 1.4 = 9.8

You can compare by editing a map to AR7 and flipping a map for hardrock, then unflipping it and setting AR10. Take screenshots at the exact same time location and directly compare them. The closer the approach circle is for the next few notes, the slower the approach rate is. Alternatively, you can just believe me, and I can provide screenshots if you really want.

You can also edit circle sizes in the same manner; you will notice that circle size 4 + HR is a bit smaller than circle size 5.

@Shiirn: It doesn't round down, at least not for standard mode. AR7 + HR is definitely faster than AR9.

Also

Circle 4 + HR http://puu.sh/36Hg
Circle 5 (flipped the notes) http://puu.sh/36Hi

Compare them and you can see Circle 4 + HR is slightly smaller.

This. It multiplies by 1.4 and rounds down, as well. It caps out at 10 and 0 - and 0 is a case in which it will not change it at all since 0x1.4 is 0.

Yeah in Osu Standards it is harder than all diff mods together sometimes
BUT
It really helps in CtB :D
(I play all three Play mods)

So I would disagree with removing it ...
but in Osu! Standards :?
Idk maybe making it a Double mod so it is still in the easy category and in the hard category but without 3 Life Bars and Increasing Points ...
We can call it Giant mod :P (nah just kidding)

Yeah and I bump this thread :P

I find Easy mode to be a challenge as well. Half-time is better imo.

I think Easy mode should just lower HP drain. That alone might be pretty helpful :p

Rename "EasyMode" to "EasierMode". The new name shouldn't be misleading since it's just certain part that is made easy, right? :P

How about reducing the AR by only 1 or 2 points? (i.e. AR 10 -> 9 or 8)

I still think ARs is something people should be able to pick by their own.

OD, HP drain rate and Circle size, they makes stuff easier/harder.

I agree with having the easy mod being changed as well, considering it makes most maps unplayable.

What I'd like to see for the easy mod:
1) The user is able to select their own AR, rather it be lower or higher. Each person has an approach rate that they perform best on so it would be wise to let the easy mod allow the user to choose their own.
2) Allow the user to choose the circle size. The range of values would range from the default circle size to the circle size seen in the flawed default easy mod for the same map. The reason being is sometimes the size of the hitcircles just become way too obnoxious because of overlap. Setting the max selectable circle size to whatever is used by the current easy mod is for the purposes of previous scores obtained on the easy mod.
3) OD and HP drain rate should be multiplied by some constant
4) The 3 lives thing should be instantaneous as opposed to a sudden stop and restart.

ETA is as vague as it ever was. It'll still take a long time, so don't hold your breath.

I already told you what I thought about this and LuigiHann conveyed my thoughts pretty effectively. The mod should be aimed at new players of easy maps and that should be it. All of this discussion of customisable parameters suggests that they should be separate options.

Harder maps are designed with a specific approach rate and circle size in mind, so any changes to these would probably break the maps, be it visually or in playability. Besides, how do you think a new player would react if choosing the Easy mod spat a load of options at them? They would shit themselves. It would be much more productive for them to look in the editor or use Half Time. There is no need to overcomplicate this.

In short, Easy wouldn't benefit from any serious overhauls. At most, a slight reduction of all parameters automatically would be the best choice, but that should be it. Keep the knob twiddling away from something that's supposed to make things simple for newbies.

That's a pretty apt description of my response to trying Easy on my first day. I would have loved to see controls... that would have (a) helped and (b) not required trying to figure out the editor on my first day in order to tweak things (I had a good idea what I wanted... Easy just gave way too much of everything). I pretty much warn newbies to avoid Easy, as it's pretty much worthless for newbies... every reasonable use of it I've seen has been by experienced players.

I like these ideas so much! User definable AR with easy mod would make sense, though maybe it should be added as "New Easy mod" to maintain the old scores, and maybe increase the bonus depending on how hard the map is. (like when there are a lot of patterns increase bonus, when there are a few, decrease(not sure if possible))

The huge hitcircles and the incredibly low OD already make easy mod worth playing... take away the AR that makes it hard to read and it's totally imbalanced...

The reason you say it's "imbalanced" is because of osu's quadratic score system which allows you to beat Cookiezi's nomod score with EasyMod on maps like Shotgun Symphony+. The real flaw here isn't in EasyMod, it's in the score system. If the standard score system was more similar to taiko you wouldn't be able to beat nomod scores on long maps with difficulty-reducted-by-mods FC plays (this would also solve stuff like HTs on Freedom Dive, etc).

I'd love to suggest to already fix the score system in osu but this will most likely never happen. :\

I suggest to disable easy mod on only maps with already large hit circles. It does make the map easier by enlarging the circles, when the map originally have tiny circles.

Nah, it's not THAT bad... either make it scale to how much you change the settings or give it a static 0.40x rate or something.

Actually, I'm in favor of making this a new mod, the "main" Easy mod, while the old one gets renamed but stays the same (as an alt mod to Easy, like Perfect/Nightcore)

You need to consider other play modes using the easy mod. I completely agree that it makes most songs harder for osu!standard, but for CTB, Taiko, and osu!mania, It really does make most of the maps easier. therefore I don't agree with getting rid of the easy mod completely, or giving it a multiplyer. The only solution is some sort of your 2nd feature request in my opinion.

Semi-support?

I'm going to have to be "iffy" on this one... Half/Semi Support?

I wonder how this is going to affect other games modes... :|

I only play Taiko and everyone here is only arguing about one game mode without taking the others into consideration.. In Taiko we don't get the "3 life system" or the larger circles because they aren't needed.

As a Taiko player, I believe that the easy mod should be broken up into AR reduction and reduced HP drain because sometimes there's only portion of easy mod that we ACTUALLY need and the other is just making it overkill. Maybe, this could only be made for and only select-able in Taiko mode seeing as something like this would only be useful in Taiko.

They could be called:
Slow Learner -- Reduced AR
Painless -- Reduced HP Drain

For example, let's say Billy is playing a really hard map with complex rhythms in Taiko mode however the map creator made the map with AR4 and set the slider velocity pretty low making the map slow and easy to read. Well Billy only needs more "forgiving" HP drain so that he has a better chance at beating the map but Billy can only use the easy mod to get reduced HP drain and this includes reduced AR as well. Billy takes a gamble and ATTEMPTS to play the beatmap however Billy realizes that the rhythms aren't even readable anymore and look like a "smashed up piece of shit". In the end Billy fails the map and quits playing osu! forever....

Deleting EZ mode is a stupid idea.

How many EZ scores would be deleted? If they weren't deleted then many newer players would call unfair on the older players being able to FC tag4 maps with EZ mode and getting a top 40.

We should only change the cs and the ar tbh.

For nowadays in my opinion the ez mod should decrease the life drain and give a second chance only.

That actually makes the map easier and not a totally different map!

IMO for administrative's sake, It's a lot easier to leave the old easy mod alone and make a new "Free Play" instead.

In "Free Play" you get x0 multiplier, in exchange for full customisation of CS, AR & OD.

dunno if this is worth the effort though. Personally I don't use Easy at all .

I'm suggesting about AR cap or something, instead of halving the map's AR settings. Like AR8~AR10 will be lowered to AR7 while the others stay as is. (or perhaps cap the lowest AR too?)

Oh yeah i forgot about OD lol :o

The change to AR seems reasonable too to me for example if a player cant play a beatmap with AR 10 they could put the easy mode to play it with AR7or8 like you said.

Hm do you mean another unranked mode? multiply by 0 is 0. Well free play sounds like for testing purposes only and could be done with editing the map, since its unranked it will make no difference anyways. If its a ranked mode its too abuseable lol.

Yeah essentially another unranked mode, you've read my intention correct.

I know one can just go into editor and tweak the settings, but having an option to get that instant change while in game will be handy for training purposes (eg see how far you can push yourself).

You know that it's *technically* possible to get ×0.00 multiplier and still ranked with some score, don't you? :P
The multiplier only multiplies your score when you starts building up combos. Having ×0.00 multiplier means that you don't get combo bonuses, you get only pure hit scores (300, 100, 50, 30 (slider start/repeat/end), 10 (slider tick), 100 (spin score), and 1000 (spin bonus score)). This is where the score you get from AutoPilot and Relax mods come from.

Anyways, that can be done by making a duplicate of the map with customized settings, so I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

I think your describing something akin to an unranked practice mode.

While lurking around the forums I found an idea about ipmenting a metronome...
and then I thought... you know what would be cool?

A practice mode that allows us to customize the health, circle size, and where to start as an unranked mode.

Yes this is going a bit tangent but the thing is, I agree with most people when they say that reworking an already done mod might be more troublesome then it is worth. So maybe a practice mod that allows this options and subsequently allow us to practice certain parts with guides and stuff may allow us to forgo easy mode and maybe even conquer hard mode and other mods?

EasyMod makes sense, the only problem with it is the name. It should be renamed from EasyMod into something else because the current name does not represent the nature of this mod. (at least on osu!standard. for other game modes it might be fine)

Maybe call it LowApproach mod? Or something like that.

Personally I dislike the Mod but it seems that many people find the fun of it. However I wouldn't recommened to remove it. I mean, sorry but we can't remove things just because they aren't working for us like they should (in case it is something which is filled with Bugs i.e. Favorite A/B but nvm) but we should find another possible solutions.

From my Side the CS decrease have to be fixed. That it decrease i.e CS5 to 3 is just nonsense. The issue is that some enjoy lower CS and then other higher. About the CS itself I would say Easy should decrease the CS for one, not for two (or even three). About the AR I think it works fine since it decrease it for two (I guess?) And the Idea of having two Tries instead of three (how Hanyuu suggested) would be better imo. I cannot really judge the OD.

However at all, we need a real Easy Mode but keeping the current Easy Mode should be done.

Nothing wrong with easy mod, if you can't play the map then play a different one that has an easier difficulty.

It does a good job of making easier difficulties even easier and as such has it's place.
