you know you can just give the code for the slider right
Low Combo FC
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

yes we can't - wh went through a similar experience, it's been getting ridiculous for awhile now.

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.

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"?

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.




^this is HR

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 17:28 _index: even more than old tho
2015-04-15 17:28 Jenny: pretty much
2015-04-15 17:28 Jenny: me too :p
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: the song doesn't do that :[
2015-04-15 17:34 _index: yeah im retarded at morning, sry
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 17:35 Jenny: https://osu.ppy.sh/forum/p/4010768/
2015-04-15 17:35 _index: in that case im okay
2015-04-15 17:36 _index: probably still can aim this with hr
2015-04-15 17:36 _index: but shit its gonna be hard XD
2015-04-15 17:42 Jenny: updating again
2015-04-15 17:42 Jenny: ..slowly
2015-04-15 17:43 _index: damn connections XD
2015-04-15 17:43 Jenny: k
2015-04-15 17:43 Jenny: done now
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
2015-04-15 17:46 _index: :^)

2015-04-15 17:52 _index: okay, nice
Dawns
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:)
Garven
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.
Kyubey
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.
Aka
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.
Lanturn
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.

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
