The [ND1] has too much SV changes which make it unreadable, this is not sightreadable at first attempt. People are not supposed to know the song/map when they play it. The SV changes are fine, they fit the song, the problem is that it is almost impossible to guess when they will happen (you did something with combo colours, this is nice but not enough since they haven't a consistent meaning, and the player is not supposed to guess that they show a SV change).

Therefore you have to use slidertick rate 3 (better than STR 1 actually ...), it fits the song and will show when the SV changes accurately so that the player doesn't have to wonder when it will happen.

The colorhax in the map is used beautifully, and the SV changes are obvious after a few combos of changing between white and red. I think that's it's obvious enough and does not need to be changed at all.

When I first saw this, I didn't notice that red combos and white combos were supposed to mean different slider velocities, especially since the map has a dozen combo colors, some of which are really close to red (amen to the colorblind people who are going to have a field day with this map). It's not obvious unless you either a- Go in the editor to figure out what's going on or b- read the map description, and you shouldn't have to do either of that.
There's very little to change (my mod was rather extensive but it's all easy fixes and minor adjustments) to make this map perfectly sightreadable, and most importantly, more intuitive. I wonder why we can't have that.

It's not an issue of "should be approved instead or ranked" or anything.

It's an issue of the map doesn't meet the gameplay standards required. Instead of bitching, you guys should help out. There's plenty to say to improve this and get it reranked faster.

Alright Nold, let's do this. Here's a bunch of stuff you can apply in your ND1 diff. It won't break your flow, it won't make the map any easier, and it will keep its authenticity. You just need to adjust some stuff.

[ND1]
Just so you know, this beginning is quite well done. I wish to see more of that.
About the slider speed and combo colors, it worked well in Pluto, but that's a one-time only gimmick. Here, it really feels out of place, especially in the slow parts.
00:27:282 (4) - Reverse this slider so that you have consistant spacing throughout your triangle pattern. Plus it sends the player directly into the next slider. No,since it really breaks my pattern.Since 00:26:869 (3) includes a drum hit so (2)<--->(3) spacing should be bigger than (3)<--(4)
00:40:524 (1) - Unneeded speedup here, it doesn't really fit since the music isn't really being emphasized. Just put a regular slider speed and you're good. I don't think so,it's colour is red it's readable and the song"gegegoo" sounds so fast and sudden .The aim of putting it as a faster slider speed is to fit the song well.
00:44:110 (4) - Make this a circle and stack it near the slider -- you're having one beat too many compared to the music. Why
00:50:041 (1,1,2) - Same for these -- keep a consistant slider speed As above
00:52:800 (1,2,1,1,2,3) - Same as above. Having them be regular slider speed doesn't break the flow at all; you're still having the spacing changes which are plenty readable. As above
00:57:282 (1,2) - You once again have one beat too many here. Just settle for a regular slider. As above
01:14:869 (1,2) - (and next ones) I feel these are very intrusive in the way of hitsounds and they really sound weird. Your choice as whether you want to tone them down or not. What do you mean.
01:23:765 (7) - Delete this circle and extend the slider's beginning to here.
01:24:800 (4) - Same as above.
01:29:765 (1,2,3,4) - From here on out, you're jumping from 1.50 to 0.75 SV which is really weird. Tone it down a bit. My best advice would be to keep a consistant slider speed throughout the whole wub section (it can work just as well, if you want to I can show you how) but you probably don't want that. Another option here would be to use, for example, 1.20 and 0.90 to make the slider speed changes more subtle, thus more readable. Give it a shot and see if you like it. Either way, you're gonna have to do some changes here. Remember, you can increase your spacing from slider to slider if you feel the need to (just don't go nuts with it.) No since it doesn't gfit at all.
01:32:938 (1) - Make this into a circle and make the next slider (the red one) begin when this current slider ends. no,01:32:938 (1) - sounds slow so I put it white(slow)
02:29:972 (7) - Remove the circle and extend the slider's beginning to here. as above
02:31:007 (4) - Same as above. same as above
02:31:558 (7,8) - I think you should reverse these two for better flow into the spinner. I don't think so,it breaks my pattern not improve.
Second wub section - The slider velocity changes don't seem to be as common here -- however sometimes the spacing gets pretty huge. so?
02:55:420 (1) - You're breaking the pattern you had going before! Place this at the top. ? I think my pattern is better than yours.

You can try something like this

02:58:317 (1,2) - Extend these to the next purple tick to lock the player into a 1/3 pattern which is what you have at the end.

Like this

And that's it! Don't forget to have the SB fixed and whatnot, maybe name of the song, that kind of stuff, I think you already know what to do.
Apply at least most of these and you're good for ranking.

As someone else mentioned, the title should be "First of the Year (Equinox)". Make sure to uncapitalize "of" and "the", as well!

It's fine to have a storyboarded epilepsy warning, but the built-in one should be used as well. This flags the map internally and shouldn't be bypassed.

Hi

^ This map's BG is about 1.25 MB, it ranks b4 but no one complain about that.

Hey so why don't unrank that in that time? Or you just think 1.58MB has so many difference to 1.25MB?

Nobody ever mentionned something like changing the SVs o.o
They make sense, I just really think that they aren't intuitive without slider ticks ..

Both me and Tom were able to easily full combo this in our first tries. Don't see how you could think those sliders can't be sightread. Oh, right; most of osu!'s community sucks at the game

I approve of this, haha... To the admins: Go play some AR10-AR11 if u cant "read" the sliders. Oh! And get a new skin, bet ur playing with big ass 300 signs so u cant see anything.

00:53:351 (1) - Why is this slider white? It's not a slow one... Accident or intended?

I can fix this without unranking the map, if you'd like it changed!
