ok.. hm.. about what you said at the beginning. I played and looked at the normal and hard diffs several times, but I still feel like the diff spread is ok. I see that the star rating says the spread is a bit high, but while playing I feel completely confortable with it.Kyubey wrote:
Well, I have to pop this bubble due to next:Scrolling image in this storyboard has 1495×1910 resolution, that is unnecesarry big due to that fact this storyboard is 4:3.Ranking Criteria wrote:
The maximum dimensions for tall or wide scrolling images are 640x1440 and 1920x480 respectively. This is for the sake of gameplay performance, image loading time, and filesize.
Difficulty gap between normal and hard is really huge compared to other gaps. Current spread looks like E--N----------H---H---I----I now.
Normal really lacks of 1/2 notes and patterns, it mostly uses 1/1 rhythm and 1/2 gaps between sliders and rarely — between sliders+notes. and it doesn't have more than one 1/2 note in a row, overall it looks like an easy with few 1/2 things while your hard has a lot of 1/2, some jumps and even triples after notes. Normal needs to be harder and it needs much more 1/2 notes. Or you can reduce difficulty of your hard difficulty by removing some jumps, triples and use less spacing in the start of the map because that part is really hard compared to other parts and even kiai. But anyway better to not change hard that much, better to add notes to normal difficulty.
Additional modding:
[Luxo's Normal]
00:04:910 - i don't think leaving a hard beat unclickable is a good idea. better to place some object here instead of slider tail yes, but I don't want to change this because in this case I like it more with the effect given by the slider (also adding them the rating din't increase much :/)
00:06:273 - same ^
00:07:637 (1,2) - getting 300 on (2) can be hard because rhythm is not that loud here and this 1/2 can be pretty unexpected. better to place one more slider instead of that (and next) note no. I like as it is. plus I don't want to simplify the rhythm here. you said this diff is more like an easy (I don't agree anyway) and I made this rhythm to make it more interesting. also if I change here I should change also in lots more parts. so, no.
00:56:728 - your 40% volume starting from here makes object almost unaudible while playing and that can cause an unrank. raise your 40% sections at leat to 50% and increase your volume on kiai to 65-70% because it's much louder than previous parts ok
01:07:978 (2) - this slider is really offgrid and almost touches screen border and really hardly overlaps scoreboard, move it right
and it will be off-screen on 5:4 screens though fixed
consider adding more 1/2 notes to this difficulty due to things i said in popping reason I checked the map. but I found just one point to do that :/ I like the rhythm I made, so I don't really want to change a lot
and better to increase AR to 5 after addin them for better readability added AR5 anyway
Call me back.
I don't know what to do. I saw there are several ranked maps with the same spread between normal and hard, and I like my diff and my pattern mostly as they are..
anyway here's the update
