I'm usually alright with unranking maps but this one was the most unnecessary unrank ever, and you even made up 'additional comments' that wouldn't improve the map in any way just so you could back up the reason that "this map needs improvement"?

geez..

I'd also argue that the slow but steadily (and quite aggressive) "train squeaking", as I call it, does call for exactly this: a very very slowly progressing hold note, one that forces you to focus again.

This part doesn't sound appropriate for either the glorious "fix-it-all spinner" (since it's a slow and grinding note- seriously, who's mind goes "LET'S SPIN AS FAST AS POSSIBLE RIGHT NOW" when hearing this part?) or a breaktime (break, no pressure at all, no focus, take the pen off the tablet or hand off the mouse, what does it matter what happens, it's a faqqing breaktime) - it's a tense moment between the two sections and that's why it draws so much attention and focus.


One shouldn't be obliged to chose between following/complimenting the music and getting their map ranked, specifically when it's about such a trivial issue, which isn't even one for most people playing (and succeeding at) the map in question, but that's my opinion.

Since this got dq'd. I'd like to point out there's an incorrect timing point about 2/3rds of the song during the 13/25% section. One of the heads is 13% making it impossible to hear. Not to mention that whole section is wxtremely quiet and should be raised.

I'll link the specific spot when I get home if you can't find it. I'm at work right now though.

The map was already DQ'd one time because of that slider. How is it possible that it took the QAT team 6 days to notice that the slider was still the same?

Also, it doesn't really make sense that the reason for DQ is partly based on an untrue statement (there is a slowdown that uses 0.75x contrary to what the post says). The stack leniency setting has no effect on the map itself so it cannot be a reason for disqualification, neither the white flashes in the storyboard. I haven't heard players complaining about that slider, either. This leaves us with nothing warranting a DQ.

I hope that this is an April fools joke because if it isn't, it might be the most unreasonable disqualification in a long time. If you just want to DQ it, please at least try to find a better argument for the reason to do so.

different reasons? first DQ was for too drain being too high on HR (fixed by adjusting HP), second was due to 'abruptness'. the slider being the same has no connection to both DQs.

Actually the first DQ was because I asked for it since there was repeated interest in making the map passable on HR; the slider didn't play any role in that at all.

@Lanturn: 06:42:555 (5) - if this is the slider you mean, sure I can fix that. won't upload for now though, no changes until this entire thing is cleared up.

I had an argument to back my opinion. How you simply dismiss it as "QAT hate" and ignore the argument itself is not how civilised people discuss. You may disagree with me and that's fine but please at least provide a reason you do so instead of trying to play me down. If those points were just additional notes, they should not cause a DQ.

I'm not hating the QATs but i'm questioning the decision made here.

If the DQ is due to the potential readability issues of the .1x SV, then I think the best solution is to stack 06:02:855 (4,5,1) - . This provides nearly half a second of stationary cursor, which is more than enough for the player to make any adjustments to an SV drop.

If the issue is because the SV is below editor boundaries, then you should probably just cut the slider at like 06:09:337 or so. I know that's not what you want to happen, but imo a 15 second long slider is pretty silly. Cutting it at around where the guitar echo dies out gives close to the feeling of intensity you're looking for while not being obnoxiously long and taking up a ton of the screen after the mandatory change to .5x SV.

That slider was ridiculous anyway. You shouldn't need to slider break on a sightread because the mapper made an out of place sudden super slowed down slider after a 2000+ combo. WWW minus 1 because of that unnecessary change in velocity. I'm sure many more messed up by that out of the blue slider.

What do you suggest then? Criticizing and not giving any suggestion that would work better considering the comment from the mapper won't help much.

It doesn't change that it's too unexpected and inconsistent. The "rhythm" is killed at that point.

Or people could stop aiming for "perfection" and aim for maps that are fun to play. To me, that's the best quality, and it doesn't require a team to assure me about it.

Good evening everyone,

We've cleaned non constructive posts from this topic.
Please, this topic sould be useful for the mapper. At least, give a constructed opinion about the beatmap and not about a player's performance.

I know it's April 1st but you guys should avoid doing that again or we'll need to take actions against some users / locking this topic in the worst case.

Keep in mind that getting a map disqualified isn't something bad, we all want to see ranked/approved beatmaps which will be enjoyed by as many users as possible.

Thank you!

There's a skinnable thing called "sliderscorepoint" if you can see a slow slider coming with many of these points, you should change it and learn not only to read circles and sliders but also those tiny circles inside

i'm not really on anyone's side but this isn't a very good way to determine SV at all. if you checked ingame the ticks appear slowly after the slider appears, it isn't too reliable as a reading tool. plus the first few points are on the sliderhead itself, not much you can see about that.

Just throwing this out there but since your intention was to force players to focus on the extended 0.1x slider, why not use a fancier slider than a simple curve with 3 control points? With such a straight-forward slider, once you've landed it, that's basically it for the slider experience because its so linear. Varying the slider path would also force players to focus on playing out the slider, not just landing it.

Either ways though, I felt the slow-down in both spacing and SV was adequate leading up to the slider so best of luck re-ranking this! :)

RIP 600 pp though lol~

And good doesn't always mean fun. Would you rather have a map that good well but plays shit, or a map that doesn't look good but plays awesomely?

Good is a very subjective term anyways.



Also @handsome sliderpoints are one of the main elements to determine SV changes lol.



I don't know why everyone is complaining suddenly, the slider fits way better than a spinner or a break, since there's an actual, intense-ish sound to be covered.

this isn't really related to the slider being good/bad, but the 114bpm timing point at 06:03:021 might be wrong

if you were to remove the 114bpm point and add a 150bpm point at 06:04:355, you could hear that the guitar is 1/2 spam and there's bass on every measure's downbeat. the long slider's initial snapping may be ambiguous with this though, so i dunno what you'd do there. thought it would be worth mentioning at least

The discussions that came from this map is the reason that ended up getting reviewed and posted, haha.

Anyway, I have talked with Jenny a little bit on IRC and we will do a full discussion when we can. To reiterate: the DQ issue is the transition to the long slow slider - everything else is tertiary.

A good solution was posted earlier by UndeadCapulet about stacking, or you can look into using a gradual slowdown instead of sticking to .75x during the part before the slider so that you don't have such a drastic speed change.

Have people forgotten how to read sv? I've gotten jipped by other maps with "random" slow sliders (cough wahrheit cough) enough times to learn when to expect them and how to deal with them. It's just another aspect of reading the map.

Exactly this.

People forget that reading is comprised of completely separate components. Humans are exceptional at recognizing patterns and we rely on audio and visual cues to deduce these patterns. I played through this map with no clue on where the slider would be, how fast the SV was set at or even what shape the slider was. When it came up I didn't break on it.

Why is this?

When I came to the aforementioned slider I had already subconsciously inferred that this was a slow section. I could understand the QATs reasoning if the slider was immediately after the fast streaming portion earlier in the song, but it's not. Instead it comes after long slow sliders and notes spaced so far apart, it's the equivalent of a 3-4 star song.
SPOILER
Look at this!

Not to mention that you have to be moving very quickly to break on the slider. Faster even than the previous sliders. So even if you assumed that the SV on this slider was equivalent to the SV on the previous sliders, you won't break. If you do, then you probably shouldn't be playing this song with your poor reading skills. It's obvious instantly that the slider is incredibly slow and the 'break circumference' is big enough so you have just enough time to realize this.

SPOILER

Check this picture out. Look how far my cursor is away from the center of the slider circle and I still haven't ruined my combo. If you broke on this slider, you're either not paying enough attention or your reading is poor. So poor that you probably shouldn't be playing this song. I'm absolutely certain that anyone who can pass the extreme streams in this song can has a reaction time of less than a second.

Beatmapping has evolved in the past few years significantly and will certainly continue too, but disqualifications like this only hinder this evolution to a point that mapping now seems so uniform and invariable that it's almost impossible to tell the difference between mappers. Especially for a player like me who's not into the mapping community. I strongly disagree with this disqualification as it ruins the character of the map and corrupts the mappers style. With a DQ like this, I'm sure that Jenny won't try anything similar to this in the future which is sad. It's a real shame that mappers these days are terrified to try anything new because of the looming force with trigger fingers that we call QATs. I dream of a day when I don't open up /r/osugame to "X has been disqualified!". With 11 ranked beatmaps, I'm sure Jenny knows what she is doing.

How about 95% of the testplays I requested and watched, then? :p

Also, every player has bad days or can have misguided assumptions about map and song every once in a while, don't make it seam like WWW is an exception from that because frankly, he isn't. His error rate is really low but it definitely is still there, as we can see from examples like these.

Plus, mind you, how frequent do these scenarios appear? Not very often tbh, considering most maps (and modplays) these days are mostly aimed at high speed rather than go in detail to the song's happenings. This is a non-osu!stereotypical song, so it is also to be played and viewed as such; if you slip back to jumpspam TV Size habits midway through even though the map should have told you better than doing that at this point, you sadly just failed at keeping your composure, which is a key part of playing lengthy maps.

Sounds like you don't know who I am - just about everything I touch is "too far for it's times"/"out of the box"/"awkward" and it generally results in a shitstorm or DQ, or at least when I don't pick a very plain song to map :p

She, name and profile should clarify that :V
Ranked beatmaps don't really mean much, considering some people still don't understand the concept and active-passive hitsounding after ranking 20-100 mapsets; it's more about continuously working to improve on what you're doing and actively seeking discussion and better solutions than what you already have (even if it may work "well enough"), which I've been trying to do for the past four years, and that's the key to this- it's not 11 ranked mapsets assigned to my name, it's me having mapped over 400 difficulties and consistently trying to outdo myself and make as muich sense in what I put in them as possible.

Just wanted to clarify those things, no personal offense implied.

Do not manually edit anything in an .osu file that cannot be changed through the Editor. The only exceptions are .osu-specific storyboards, slider velocity multipliers and skin-related options such as SliderBorder and SliderTrackOverride. If non-standard slider velocity multipliers are used, they must be announced in the beatmap description during the modding process.

If I might add:
@ 06:42:455 and 06:42:555 - Either delete both inherited points or you might have messed up their placements.

I think that correctly reading SV changes is a matter of skill, not so much of mapping.
However, I do understand that a sudden SV change, with no foreshadowing in the song and/or note placement, is unfair, but I don't think it was really enough to DQ this, especially since it was argued that there were significant elements in the song to allow this.

This DQ was probably the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen in this entire game..
It was obviously passible to pass as well as get FC on..
I know that the slider wasn't quite correct but still, it has been already S'ed with HR and it was the highest pp play.. (considering legit plays only)
I really hope it will get back into the game soon because it was real fun to play and.. RIP _index Q_Q

Just add to the title "TV Size" and it will be ranked in no time.
In all seriousness, the slider is very readable in my eyes. Such a massive slider cannot possibly be with high SV at this part of the song, so it makes sense for it to be there music wise (big epic slowdown) and map wise (many slow sliders before that give a sense of reaching a conclusion in a stop of a sort).

People are going to stop trying fcs on recently ranked maps. I can't imagine the frustration of losing that quantity of pps (index).

I know maybe less than 1% of active players have been hardly affected because of this, but I don't think they should be ignored.

DQing a map looks something trivial, it shouldn't be that easy to disqualify a song, it should need at least the mapper agreement, or maybe the top 50 in current global ranking. Yes, I know this would makes DQing harder to happen, but that's the point, so people would think twice before qualifying a map.

DQing a map should be rarity, an exception.

It's their choice in the first place to fc a QUALIFIED map. After all it is clearly written that scores can wipe once in a while.

Uploaded alternative ending to the guitar solo as talked through on IRC with _index and [HDHR]; the added loopiness and 40% increased SV should help with readability since it adds a bit of a visual hold element to the slider.

2015-04-15 17:25 Jenny: I don't like Garven's suggestion at all tbh :p
2015-04-15 17:25 _index: and i've remembered how hard it will be to refc lmao
2015-04-15 17:26 Jenny: you're welcome . 3.
2015-04-15 17:26 Jenny: dw it'll only be worth like 530pp or smth anyway, knowing osu
2015-04-15 17:26 _index: uhm
2015-04-15 17:26 _index: this slider is offscreen, isnt it?
2015-04-15 17:26 _index: in garven's one
2015-04-15 17:26 Jenny: Garven's? yes.
2015-04-15 17:26 Jenny: and everything before it is super ugly ; _ ;
2015-04-15 17:27 _index: yeah its somewhat close to each other

2015-04-15 17:29 _index: well
2015-04-15 17:29 _index: one thing that i might advice about this fucking place
2015-04-15 17:29 _index: is to make a break instead of slider
2015-04-15 17:29 _index: if someone says anything about it again
2015-04-15 17:29 Jenny: NOPNOPNOPNOPNOPNOPNOPNOPNOPNOPNOPNONPO ; _ ;
2015-04-15 17:30 _index: i understand but come on
2015-04-15 17:30 Jenny: breaktime doesn't fit the tension at all
2015-04-15 17:30 _index: it doesnt ruins everything tho
2015-04-15 17:30 _index: looks a bit weird
2015-04-15 17:30 _index: but still better than those offscreen sliders
2015-04-15 17:30 _index: just like last way to fix everything Kyappa
2015-04-15 17:30 Jenny: I thought of maybe making the slider 0.15x or smth and adding a bit of a quirk to the start so you see that you have to hold it first
2015-04-15 17:31 Jenny: then you'd have enough time to get the SV change
2015-04-15 17:32 _index: uhm
2015-04-15 17:32 _index: w8 a sec
2015-04-15 17:33 _index: welp
2015-04-15 17:33 _index: i've tried to fit a triple right before slider
2015-04-15 17:33 _index: XD
2015-04-15 17:34 Jenny: wat

2015-04-15 17:34 Jenny: [https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/3015140 anyhow, something along these lines maybe]
2015-04-15 17:35 _index: but they still gonna brag about sv .osu changes
2015-04-15 17:35 _index: or not?
2015-04-15 17:35 Jenny: not really
2015-04-15 17:35 _index: hm

2015-04-15 17:43 _index: seems okay to me
2015-04-15 17:44 _index: maybe move it a bit down
2015-04-15 17:44 _index: as it may be offscreen after hr's vertical changes
2015-04-15 17:44 Jenny: huh?
2015-04-15 17:44 Jenny: lemme look at it in auto
2015-04-15 17:44 _index: kk
2015-04-15 17:44 _index: im not sure
2015-04-15 17:44 Jenny: I don't think it would be though
2015-04-15 17:44 Jenny: since it doesn't go out of the grid at the top
2015-04-15 17:45 _index: mm key
2015-04-15 17:45 _index: im terrible at modding stuff uknow, just sayin
2015-04-15 17:45 Jenny: well yeah, you don't have experience in it

I can see this getting a second shot. After having fiddled about in editor this feels a lot easier for the selective few. of you who seem to struggle to read a slider with a million slider ticks and forewarning. This new slider seems a lot easier. I'll fiddle about again tomorrow to see if there's a note visually appealing way of getting the same tension build up the old slider had whilst keeping it 'readable'. One thing I'm not a massive fan of is the SV I'd like a shorter slider with slower SV but I guess that'd be another DQ for old reason.

Anywho good job Jenny on fixing the slider, we spoke about it a little on Twitch earlier (Dawnsday) but if you don't mind I'd like to see if there's a better way of doing this tension build up slider. Good luck on Requalify. I'll edit update later if I find a nicer way (if you want one c:)

Alternative plays fine. I guess you missed the part of my PM that explained that my suggestion was only for illustration and not a viable playable map (which was the entire thing minus the .osu link). Bold for emphasis.

Didn't think I'd have to mention that specifically to be fair; anyhow, I'll replace Legend then..?

..then again I was shitwastedly tired so I can't claim it was a very conscious thought in the first place

I was just going off your log with index, but whatever - fair enough. Go ahead and upload and BNs can move this forward again.

Gave some suggestions about Volume during a part where hitsounds where pretty much inaudible, but Jenny had to leave. So hold on before pushing this forward anymore lol.

06:40:355 - to 06:53:155 - needs a volume boost. Check it out yourself Aka/Kyubey and let me know.

Anyways, I'm assuming the letterbox in the breaks are intentional. But if you don't want it (because of SB), be sure to remove it.

that's all from me.

I checked that part, since quiet notes follows vocals that pretty... I don't know what word to use, maybe "smooth", but if these notes will have loud feedback while playing, it can sound strange and not fitting the vocals. Notes that placed on loud music elements are loud and give proper feedback, but quiet ones can sound strange for me, if they will become loud too.

uhm actually yeah, i agree about the volume boost suggestion tbh, but just for the vocals parts like these 06:41:555 (2,3,4) - 06:42:555 (5,6) - 06:47:955 (2,3,4,5) - . +~10% may be pretty much enough already, hum?

Increased volume on the clicks by 5%, sliderticks and -ends by 2% (25% -> 30%, 13% -> 15%); don't want to boost this up too far but a little bit's fine with me.

Thanks for moving it Mao.

Checked the volume, and I can hear the softs fine now. We removed the letterbox from the .osu file so it should be all set to go.

It would be nice if DQing was a rarity, but maps that don't follow the guidelines should indeed be disqualified.
Why exactly? Ridiculous "Guidelines" that cause quite literally every map that gets ranked these days to have a similar style shouldnt have to be followed.

It would be nice if people could look at the overall quality of a map instead of go "HEY!!1 that slider isnt in ze guidelines!"

Don't know what _index took, but somehow it made him a god of hr mod. This random climb a few weeks ago was quite hillarious and displayed how much of a good HR player he is as nearly ever play he has granting him PP is HR. Maybe went a bit offtopic, but hey, grats for re-qualifying, Jen, hope you'll make a lot more maps in the future, most of 'em are awesome. Still ya won't defeat _index as he fc's maps with HR most don't fc nomod. Guess this map will be subject to more controversies as we'll go on due to this unreal PP gain. Still think it's unreasonably high, maybe around 50-100 PP more then reasonable... w/e, keep on the good work, i hope to someday be able to even pass one of your Dragonforce maps :P
