I'm confused lol, anyway I checked through the mod:
Well tbh I was left confused by your mod and how to move it forward but if there's anything else you wanna discuss let me know.Hinsvar wrote:
Hello! Random bubble check.
...I am honestly not sure if this should be bubbled right now, though. The map can be slightly be more polished. It is pretty okay-ish as is, and definitely rankable, but the amount of mods is too low for a bubbled map.
No, I am not saying that mod amount correlates to the quality of the modded map, but it'd be nice to get more opinions before this is bubbled, right? This looks pretty rushed to me, honestly. But what you're practically saying is the number of mods correlates to the quality of a map in a roundabout way lol
Well, after saying that, let's begin the mod.
*Bolded = Unrankable or very, very strongly suggested; red = Highly suggested or questionable (still weaker than the bolded ones); black = Minor suggestions/rants; blue = Notes/advices to avoid/fix repeated problems. Also note that hitsound suggestions on a diff may apply on similar parts of the song and the other diffs of the mapset.
>General>Normal
- Consider decreasing the BG's filesize? 825 KB seems to be very bloated for a background file, IMO... Is it important? I don't want to compress the image to make it look worse and it's not that big imo
- Use a custom silenced soft-sliderslide for the entire song? The current slider slide's sound is unfitting with how calm the song is, so it'd be better if the soft-sliderslide were silenced. Use the silent hitsound file in the Ranking Criteria wiki page for this! Okay I checked with a few people and the response was split so I'm going to keep it as is. I am using a soft-sliderslide and after using a silent one it makes the ticks feels very exposed so I'd have to lower the tick volume too. Normal starts to sound considerably worse imo because it feels something is missing. I see where you are coming from but I don't think it's necessary and it's personal preference really...
- Try 240ms for the offset (-10ms from the current one)? The objects seem to be a little off overall, IMO. If I -10 on the offset it feels more off to me, I'll leave this as it is
- 02:11:544 - 02:49:661 - Would be cool to add a (or keep the, based of what I've seen from Lust's mod) kiai time here since the music does get stronger there. Up to you, though, since this is indeed a calm song, but the increase of the power in the music here is noticeable. Hm, no I've thought about this since Lust's mod and I've decided to keep the kiai removed
>Hard
- 00:00:250 (1,2) - Uh, what are you trying to make, exactly? If you want to make a blanket, it can be done better. Right now, it looks kinda weird. (While we're here, some blankets are off in this diff, and probably the Hard diff too. Review every blanket pattern please!) It's a slider and a circle? I wasn't trying to make a blanket (I think it must come across that I always am lol) and I like it how it is. My thinking is that if all the sliders in the diff were the same and intended to make blankets it would get boring pretty quick. But if there's any particular blanket you want me to look at let me know
- 00:19:309 - Not sure why would you place a finish here... The instrument that plays on this tick doesn't even resemble a cymbal. Try removing the cymbal and use a whistle instead. That fits way better. (Applies for similar cases.) Unfortunately I don't agree, the finish adds variation to the hitsounds and adds a kick to the end of the slider. Too much whistle would get annoying imo
- 02:23:897 (5,1) - Try to make (5) follow (1)'s curve as if you're making a blanket pattern by moving (1) to (120,352)? That'd look nicer. Well moving (5) makes 02:22:485 (3,4,5,1) - like a failed triangle pattern. That, and I don't want to create a blanket lol
So yeah, this is a pretty simple and nice map (not that there's anything bad with it), but I'd like to see more feedback on the quality of this map in the form of mods from experienced modders, preferably around 2-3 or so, and of course preferably detailed and helpful ones. It's pretty much okay to bubble at this state, but it'd be nicer to see opinions from more people. Also, the blanket patterns can still be improved; that's a problem that appears a lot throughout the mapset. Are you trying to imply the people who modded it are not experienced? I don't think that's fair. Who would you consider an experienced modder? I'm confused by this. Although it may not appear this way I did ask quite a lot of people to mod it, some posted, some didn't, some ignored me; I can't help that and I can't look for mods 24/7. If it wasn't for Lust (thanks Lust!) I think I'd have hit a brick wall with this map lol. As for blanket patterns you're going to have to be specific because as I said I may not have even been intending to make a blanket
- 00:39:073 (1,2,3) - Umm, I know it isn't that noticeable, but the spacing is inconsistent, and I don't think the inconsistency is necessary for any reason here. Hm, it's mostly x1.4... and any spacing change is minor... so what do you mean exactly? If you mean 00:40:485 (3) - then it's there so it's in the same place as 00:39:073 (1) - started in and that's intentional.
- 02:28:485 (1) - Don't you think it'd flow better if the slider was made to be like this? But okay, this'll break the flow (a little) to 02:29:191 (2) so you might have to readjust the notes a little I don't agree with this because as you said it'd break the flow..
I hope you don't feel annoyed by this (sorry if you do), but I'd just like to make sure we don't rush things...
Get back to me once you're done with the mods (and make sure you do it before November 29th). Why November 29th? I think finding 2-3 mods from "experienced modders" in a week would be difficult.
Good luck on the way!
