I think it would be better to have something that could fit better in the pool whatever the map style is, rather than a good map but eaaaasier one, the current tiebreaker sadly doesn't have enough challenge ;_; but that's the best we could find for it, it isn't too easy either but the other one was more enjoyable imo.Loctav wrote:
What. Wishy put it there. I picked like two maps from the entire pool and you two agreed. Don't push the blame to me :C also the previous pick was harder but a bunch of crap mapping wise.
But hey, is not like the current pool is filled with great maps though :p
inb4 the other one was Skystar
I'm actually surprised there's no Skystar map in the first pool, but I guess they're gonna wait until the later rounds

welp fuck this i hate this mappool
so what was this mystery tie-breaker map that we do not speak of?
It wasn't harder or anything, I ended up not liking it after 3 plays tbh.
I think this tie-breaker is fine. There are a lot of hard parts, tricky stuff, etc. Also AR 9 can make it tough for some. I find the nomod maps to be way easier compared to it.

Jumping at AR 9 makes the map easier than jumping at AR 8 imo :p
Luv Letter is at least 3 times harder with hardrock. If you guys want to go through that then be my guest. It's not really that hard if you can read AR9 well, though.
roze and raijin no migiude share the same thing in common with the tie breaker and that is that it only has a few hard parts whereas the rest is incredibly easy and free points/accuracy.Wishy wrote:

i feel like if tie breaker maps are going to be reached, they're going to be determined by who random missed on the most absurd section in the map. If you missed on the jumpy part and the other team didn't, there's absolutely no hope of catching up because the rest of it is free points.
it's pretty hard to fc hr on 1 play while under pressure, more so it could be a match-changing decisionkriers wrote:

i don't think many people are going to touch any mods in free mods except for hd.
also according to osutp
of course not implying osutp is accurate or anything
Nah osu!tp has nothing to do here, because that's an average of aim and speed. At the moment of picking maps we aimed for aim rather than speed since we're interested on people showing their better skills instead speed only, like deathstreams or something like that (I'm not saying osu!tp's speed is based on streams only, ofc). Maybe balanced level maps could fit better but it's hard to find something like that which can fit on the pool.
Example, Rin's map is level 78 because it speed only (84), some of the other maps (tiebreaker included) are based mostly on aim. You probably can find a level 40 map there, which it could be harder than a 60 one, just because in terms of skill: aim >>> speed.
Not sure if I'm right or not but that's my point of wiew at least.

Please, add variety to future mappools. Nomod maps are all the same, absolutely.
Last year there were maps that had some unique stuff like small circles/2key patterns/long streams/low ar/accuracy wars for teams
But now it's just jumps and streams everywhere
Also some of the nomod maps are quite long so they look like they should be tiebreakers instead of nomods

All I can say by reading this is just... lol, you can't be serious. As you probably noticed we increased difficulty if we compare the last owcs, and we're only two pickers, with a new one included, so obviously picks won't be the same style. Even if the maps are "all the same" as you say, that doesn't mean each map is the same difficult as other one, there are harders and easiers, fasters and slowers. But picks and variety will change a bit, be sure of that.Kert wrote:

But it would be more interesting to watch if the maps had unique traits instead of all being just jumpy and streamy since not all players can play maps that are out of the ordinary well.Darksonic wrote:

I disagree. If you can't play maps that are out of the ordinary well then you shouldn't be in the "osu! World Cup". That's like saying the Olympics should cater for people who have a very low skill level rather than for the most elite, or for players in the SC2 GSL to only play ladder games because they're not used to playing the tough Korean players and their styles.Almost wrote:

I want the OWC to test the most elite of players rather than to know that some random player can come close to rrtyui on easier maps. Likewise I want to be tested in this tournament - if you fail at out of the ordinary maps you should practice them more and improve, it's a win-win situation for both the spectators (seeing the players get pushed to their limits) and the players (improving).
Actually, for my side I'm planning to look for more variety and more "unique" stuff for the next round so you guys don't have to worry about that, I did and will do the best as possible. I just hope to have enough time since I have to wait until the next week to have my computer back again.Almost wrote:

Being able to play out of the ordinary maps is a skill of it's own and most people nowadays don't practice those sorts of maps any more since all people care about any more is being able to play fast.smoogipooo wrote:

The good thing about osu! is that great players are all-round players. I've yet to see a top-50 player who is extremely good at one thing but fails horribly in another area if you exclude mods (because there are some people who strictly practice one mod). They're either moderately-good at everything, great at everything, or amazing at everything; with few discrepancies.Almost wrote:

I would be thoroughly disappointed if there's a top-50 player who can jump but can't stream, or who can read ar9 jumps but can't aim, or who can stream fast with low accuracy.
Let's rephrase that - luck for different mapping styles should not be a determining factor of skill in this game. If you have to use luck to finish these maps because you're so used to new maps, speeds or w/e, then you're probably doing it wrong. Don't call yourself good at this game just because you can play a select few mapping styles.
Nice to hear that. Looking forward to new maps!Darksonic wrote:

You don't need luck if you are good at it. If you are used to playing really retarded maps then you probably would screw up less than most. And if that last part was directed at me, I never said I was good at the game nor did I say I was good at a select few mapping styles (I'm actually terrible at them)smoogipooo wrote:

buny did you know that almost all osu! maps which are not INSANELY HARD are pretty much just about one hard part.

don't take it offensively, it's probably very hard to find suitable maps with only 3 selectors this time, and having to change the map with such short notice too.
other than the tie breaker and a few no mod maps this map pool is very nice, as well as the song selection.
It's quite hard to find maps which are hard all the way around without them being top tier insanes. Sadly most are about a few hard parts (if not just one).
I found quite a lot of actual overall hard maps but they are indeed too hard all the way around, you'll probably see them on later stages tho.

Since it's unknown if SG participates fully and Latvia has a very good roster (I'd say it's perfect for tournaments, their players' consistency is very good) I'm not surprised at all.

I agree, osu! world cup should not be about who's the fastest player, but should be about who has the greatest cumalative skill in osu!
Nothing against ar 9 or 8 even though it's harder for most(?) of us. We're in the same boat and low-ar maps can be used for strategic issues by some teams, making the show interesting.
I can already see the despair when ar9 DT maps will be available

Yeah, I guess there is something called "being too pro". In my opinion, every player should be able to read at least AR9 and AR8 properly. I know those are not as exciting and fun and fast and "Woo, look at me, I am so pro, look how fast my reaction time is" as AR10, but come on... Too slow? Really?

I'd rather have both varying CS and AR maps, like some of AngelHoney's maps should come into OWC. So, alteration of AR with the combination of the alteration of CS would be perfect to test people's limits.

If there happen 4 maps which are only stream-y, a team which is specialized in streaming skill only might nearly win the match only because of those. If you meant various only by AR, CS - I totally agree.
If I was referring to a variety of maps and 4 stream maps suddenly appear, is that contradicting to the target idea? Plus, isn't OWC meant to show the best of people, also veto-ing maps out is a valid option am I correct?AmaiHachimitsu wrote:

Also I (personally) never said AR9 is hard, especially on those maps. I can do every map from the list without much problems, still prefer AR10 because it's less damn annoying and requires less unnecessary concentration during the match, thus causes less random misses (which really like to occur during a 1-play only matches). Yeah, yeah, go on with your 'bfut it's a pard of the gemplay to be able to rid AR9 on a turnment mach proparly" arguments. But I do already.
And I'm just sitting here still liking AR7.

I think all the maps are very fun, but Kert is right : they all have pretty much the same kind of difficulty. There are a lot of styles that could benefit the lower 16 teams. Not saying it would have kicked out some upper 16 teams, but it would give them something to work with. Now we're just awaiting the execution date
I feel kinda out of place, because all the players posting here are better than me... but still... you guys are considered pro players, right? So doesn't that mean that you should be good at all aspects of the game, including being able to read low AR? Why does everything have to be about reaction speed? Yes, playing fast maps and having lightning fast reaction is one of the skills required for osu, but it's not the only one. Reading low AR is just as important, it's just a different type of skill to have. Don't think of it as "boring", think of it as a challenge.
Should I complain that I can't read AR10 and above? No, I should become better, so I can read higher AR. The same goes for every pro player - don't complain that there are maps with low AR! Simply learn to read it! It's just another challenge to overcome in you path to becoming truly great at this game!

Hidden is a total pain in the ass on low ar and it's meant to be memorized, that's why FL allusion.
I have no problems with ar 7 or lower, but HD makes it a semi-FL map.
This is funny, when I was starting playing, that is 2011, AR 10 was still fast and AR9+DT was impossibru. I wish we could see the reaction back then if there happened to be AR 9+DT map in mappool.
If you think that reading painfully low AR is a skill necessary for a player to be a champion of a rhythm game I just must disagree.
You may ask why do I flame low ar when I can actually play it?
- Because it's boring to play.
- Because it's a 1-chance tournament, to be sure of FC you will be made to memorize the map completely which is good for a fkin karuta not osu!
- The standards changed now, you know.
I've seen some racing comparisons, so it's my turn.
Forcing players to play ridiculously low ar is like telling F1 racers to drive a Smart as to measure their skill.
The same thing is with low bpm streams, for instance. Some top=tier players can't play them perfectly, but each of them has WHAT IT TAKES to play them anyway. World Champion is someone who can go beyond the limits of an average player. An average player won't stream 220 bpm easily even if he practiced for 2 weeks straight, but shouldn't have problems with attaining ability to stream 140 bpm more or less. If we had some more time to practice we'd even learn how to AR 3 and so would do a newbie, but AR 10 is something beyond imagination for many lower-tier players.
Should I complain that I can't read AR10 and above? No, I should become better, so I can read higher AR. The same goes for every pro player - don't complain that there are maps with low AR! Simply learn to read it! It's just another challenge to overcome in you path to becoming truly great at this game!No, higher ar is a challenge. Low ar is something we had to deal in our early days in osu! It's only a matter of being used to, but getting used to demands effort, and time, which we don't have. I can assure you that there doesn't exist a player who can easily read ar 10,3 and ar 6 simultaneously. Some may be better, some may not, but they won't be good enough.
Presupposing that modern standard is AR 9, AR 8 is the lower AR I'd accept.
I think low ar+hd is pretty fun.
You just gave me indirect aids.Soarezi wrote:

I support ar7 for nomod and ar8 for hd/nomod.
low ar + EZ is fun too, but it's more like fun gotten from playing itself. We can do such thing solo too
#edit: Sakisan - The thing is that you get a hit100 for unfinished slider and LoGo's score showed no 100s, just 1x miss. So this is some kind of glitch for sure.
#edit2: I was thinking a bit and...
Every year many teams act as sth needed just to fill the hole since their line-up won't stand a chance against top teams. What about making a consolation cup or sth like that for those who couldn't make it through the group stage? 1-2 Months of supporter as a prize and let's go. Or just for a sheer fun since the matches would be more exciting than a quick 4:0 against Korea?
It's not an idea for the present OWC, but maybe in the future? It's like Champions League and Europa League

Every year many teams act as sth needed just to fill the hole since their line-up won't stand a chance against top teams. What about making a consolation cup or sth like that for those who couldn't make it through the group stage? 1-2 Months of supporter as a prize and let's go. Or just for a sheer fun since the matches would be more exciting than a quick 4:0 against Korea?
It's not an idea for the present OWC, but maybe in the future? It's like Champions League and Europa League
AR8 + DT is the best, anything higher and lower is too hard.

If you think that reading painfully low AR is a skill necessary for a player to be a champion of a score attack game I just must disagree.

there aren't many difficult maps that are below ar9 without ar being a gimmick way of increasing difficultyArtaxerx wrote:
I feel kinda out of place, because all the players posting here are better than me... but still... you guys are considered pro players, right? So doesn't that mean that you should be good at all aspects of the game, including being able to read low AR? Why does everything have to be about reaction speed? Yes, playing fast maps and having lightning fast reaction is one of the skills required for osu, but it's not the only one. Reading low AR is just as important, it's just a different type of skill to have. Don't think of it as "boring", think of it as a challenge.
Should I complain that I can't read AR10 and above? No, I should become better, so I can read higher AR. The same goes for every pro player - don't complain that there are maps with low AR! Simply learn to read it! It's just another challenge to overcome in you path to becoming truly great at this game!

being the best doesn't necessarily mean you have to be the best in EVERY aspect either

what are uo complaining
The last few pages of discussing the mapset have just been people complaining because they didn't get what they wanted. Not that they shouldn't voice their disappointment, but this is turning into a discussion of "what is a hard map" and "what makes a player good". Clearly people disagree on that. So, what do you do when you have a player base that doesn't agree on what maps they want to play? You aim broad, and try variety. Now granted I have not had the time to get a good glance of the maps this round with studies and other stuff, but I'm sure we can calm down the heat of the argument to a minimum here. We have 32 countries, each with a roster of 6 or more players, and a dozen maps to pick each round. You can't please everyone with that. It's physically impossible, and you all know this (it's the reason why there's arguing right now).
Here's my call: Discussing what makes a player good is really interesting and I can definitely see some great points coming out of it, but players are different and are more skilled in different areas. You should adapt to the mapset and work on that which you feel you are behind compared to the rest of your skill base. Now, you might not carry your team to victory, and I agree that it is frustrating to see your weapon of choice not come into play, but when it comes to OWC, versatility is the greatest asset a player can have.
Good luck, y'all.

That actually sounds like a good idea.AmaiHachimitsu wrote:

Problem with low ARs is that the game requires you to play high ARs in order to be good.
DT makes AR go higher.
HR makes AR go higher.

Most players add DT or HR to improve their skills. When they see them selves getting faster, reading notes more quickly and with a faster reaction, it gets more fun. I remember when I started osu! I use to go and play multiplayer and when higher rank players chose a higher ar map, I was like to my self "how da fuq can they do this" And then you just want to be able to read and play at that kind of fast pace. Many players on osu! suffer when they come back to play low ar, after them playing high ar maps for months etc...So they will develop lots of hate towards low ar and such. Some players avoid playing high ar and end up actually playing maps with high bpm on low ar with ease, while players who play at higher ar, can not... So, it's up to the players choice on how he/she progresses through osu!Wishy wrote:

No, we are not talking about combo here, look at objects, i got 1xMiss, but if i hit slider i get 1x300. So there is still 1 object missing.Sakisan wrote:
He must have missed a slider that's worth 2 combo (simple start + end, no ticks or return-arrow)Vmx wrote:
Then this, look at LoGo's score he has 1miss 0x100, if you count every players score 100s 300s 50s they have 757 objects and LoGo had 756. ?_? The map had 757 obejcts so where did 1 LoGo's object go?
And why do people talk about which kind of people shouldn't be in owc and stuff.
I shouldn't be in owc but I am, deal with it.
I think all the maps are very fun, but Kert is right : they all have pretty much the same kind of difficulty. There are a lot of styles that could benefit the lower 16 teams. Not saying it would have kicked out some upper 16 teams, but it would give them something to work with. Now we're just awaiting the execution date
