I think it's more because it is too freestyle to a large portion of mappers, difficulty wasn't a problem. But since it was going to be the next hardest map ranked, something too freestyle feltMillhioreF wrote:
it would be really harsh to tell Fort to axe a whole difficulty just because it's too hard
1) Well... too random (yes there are both sides of the debate to this)
and
2) Unfair on the other mappers who try to make hard stuff whilst being much more logical to the map, without placing looks of fullscreen 250bpm notes everywhere.
But yeah, if the community wishes to have all the set of 8+ star maps be totally freestyle go ahead. The QATs will clash, the people will fight back (even though they shouldn't really care too much, most know they'll never be able to beat Terror Relinquished ever) and stuff will even out.
The thing I'm concerned about is the lack of logical response in the mods given, let me quote a good example:
Something that is very justified, is completely ignored for no valid reason. Sliders ending on downbeats on an already fast jump map like this are offputting for the rhythm, and we don't need any more artificial difficulty.Fort wrote:

01:50:313 (7,8,9,10) - This doesn't work well, the slider starts on a red tick and ends on the downbeat and then there's a nearly inaudible 1/4 triple played. At least the 1/2 slider should be circles instead. sometimes that pattern kinda be good with that thing
And a quote from a mod I did:
1) "on purpose" without a reason? That's a bit backwards.Fort wrote:

00:16:113 (2,3) - 00:18:033 (3,4) - Relatively same noise, but the second has over double the spacing. Then it goes back to 1.2 00:19:953 (2,3) - then 2.5 so this inconsistencies unrankable? right, please im doing that thing on purpose man
2) The qualified section is all about improving maps, in this case, it wasn't unrankable, but it is definitely not something that should be ignored for no reason. Many things in this map can be tweaked to give it the overall edge, @fort defending how the map was made without even changing simple things like this looks bad on you, and the map. Details count.
But yeah, I can't change how you perceive the map, the modders, the community, and ultimately you'll try to rank it again anyway.
If you truly think that total freestyle, even ignoring simple suggestions like the above, is worth the trouble, go ahead. The QATs can deal with overall issues.
