The thing is, Time Freeze is objectively good. Any problems he had was just from it being a 240bpm streamfest, not because his spacing wasn't up to snuff.
Side
WALL OF TEXT
The way the current system works is a map is usually qualified to push it forward because it's "good enough". The ranking criteria is honestly very lenient so this is actually very easy to do (hence the hundreds of speedranked maps nowadays). The second step is (usually) a map gets disqualified either because QAT finds something unrankable or there are people in the community that have reason/concerns for the map. If the reasons make sense the map will usually be disqualified immediately so that the concerns can be addressed. This also usually leads to more people providing input on what can be improved.

Most people make the mistake that "if my map was qualified the first time it's clearly perfect (minus the thing it was DQ'd for) so I have no reason do change anything :^))))

Anxient those questions could be addressed for literally ANY map that was disqualified at some point. The same questions could be asked for your map or mine and honestly they're meaningless and provide nothing but a passive-aggressive means of gathering input on a system not the map itself. Taking to reddit further proves that point because you know the community is largely players that don't know much (if anything) about the ranking system at all and the people that do already browse qualified threads anyway.

Back to the map. I'm not at my computer nor have I actually seen the map yet but I'll definitely do so once I have time. What I CAN say is there have been many people raising the same concerns and providing arguments justifying their points. So far most counter-arguments have been similar to a "This is how I feel it should be it's my preference and I don't have reason to need to justify this". Needless to say (again) the replies have also been very passive agressive including in the youtube video.

You have to understand that while the ranking system isn't perfect it's still the system everyone uses. Whether or not it changes in the future is up to staff. The disqualifications that happen are usually because the map is good enough to be RANKABLE but it can still be improved and that's what the discussion is here for. Sure you don't have to address EVERY point but there's no reason to rush qualification just make it good make it different (please no one likes seeing the same map over a different song over and over again) and make it something you can at least be proud of ranked or otherwise.

Also remember that the mapping community is a COMMUNITY (omg redundant). This is a group that voluntarily provides content for osu. They also provide time and effort to try to help others. Every input is invaluable and whether or not you decide to change anything is still up to you but PLEASE keep in mind these people are not trying to hurt you or atack you by pointing out "suggestions" or "mistakes". Passive agressive or just straight up condescending replies (maybe not the right word pardon my englando) both offend the modders and hurt people's view on you. Who wants to help a person who doesn't care about the people trying to help them? You don't wanna hurt your reputation like bearizm. He's a good mapper but that recent event with his set surely made him look bad.


EDIT: Also trying to justify points through previously qualified maps is always a bad idea. If the map was qualified and a point was made and it was a mistake using it against QATs doesn't justify that same "mistake" applying to your map. Keep that in mind.



I might have overlooked a few points and it's not proofread so maybe somethings were not said correctly by me. It's hard to review 380 lines of text in a tiny ass phone screen x_x but yeh I'll check the map out later.

Something unrelated to everything here, Okoratu mentioned it in his first post but for a different reason:
01:15:913 - The bpm of this timing point is incorrect: It makes the measure start one 1/2 before the downbeat but end on the downbeat, which is messed up. It is intended to shift the offset by -16ms over the course of a whole measure, lowering it by 17,25bpm can't be right for that lol - What you want to do is make this timing point 169,7bpm.

@those questions: Please don't start the "If the mapper were famous nobody would dare to question it"-thing orz

I don't see what are you reading lol, my mod wasn't an attack at any point, see maps rating check people opinion at discuss thing, check the map. I just did open the discussion again, because of the big amount of people complaining at the low quality of Hero diff


Contradiction?

Extra diff is fine > Hero diff seems a copy past + Scale by.... , which doesn't compliment the song imo.

DQ for no reason?

There is a Discuss on going, if you don't know that's how things work now, DQ first then Discuss
People that say is fine are not even the half of the people complaining at this map (not saying who is wrong and who is right)
Any mapper can do a 6 or 7 + star diff for this song, that doesn't mean it fit the song.
And yes you cant even call those jumps, cause the whole map doesn't follow a relative spacing, is all a jump, check the post that Axient did on reddit and see what most of people are saying.


2 bns qualified this, d-kun said it's fine

not everyone is the same person and has the same standards (that's why test time (qualify section) exist

Anyways at this point I think is better to call QATs or Loctav, because not agreement has been done so far.

At this point I'm more or less done with this set.

I am willing to do any minor changes deemed necessary to rank this map. I am not interested in deleting it for the sake of rank however.
"minor changes" be like: "blancket" "add a note" "move this node to x|y"

i guess you're not willingly to reduce the spacing of the jumps from my hero diff because you still believe you've done a great job mapping them, but this game is built by the community. You can't be narrow minded denying what most people have disagreed with QATs don't have the last word if more issues arose to discuss.
jawns
First off I want to point out I'm not an experienced mapper at all.

Second off, that shouldn't matter at all, my opinion is as important as anybody else's. Remember, the map is supposed to be played by "players" not just "mappers" or "BNs/QATs".

So, I've been following the discussion a bit, and after playing the map, I think it's quite enjoyable. In fact, I think it is great, and I feel like this should be ranked.

But apparently a lot of other people feel different about this. Apparently a lot of people feel like a major problem is, that they think the spacing is overkill, and that the map is overall too difficult. I completely disagree...

While I'm not experienced in mapping, that shouldn't mean I shouldn't be able to judge the intensity of the song. And this song is pretty intense, I don't see how anybody disagrees with that. It's got distorted guitars and aggressive drums/drum fills throughout the entire song, that honestly wouldn't be too out of place in a heavy metal song. So the difficulty seems appropriate to me.

While I do agree, that it is important to listen to mods, I also think it's important to not necessarily make any changes you disagree with, since even a bunch of experienced mappers can be biased, or simply wrong.

I have a lot of respect for Xexxar for sticking to his guns, and wish him the best of luck on this map, as well as future ones! :)

thank you! seems much more logical now. I also added a red tick on the final kiai end to reset Nightcore cymbal crash to be in tune with the music.
Strategas
Saying things like "this difficulty doesn't support the song" isn't very logical considering the current ranking system. If that was the case, then delete all the easy/ normal diffs on more intense mapsets lol... isn't the point of the spread to have more difficulties so more players could choose the difficulty that seems more appropriate to them?

The my hero difficulty itself seems fine, but my only concern is that some beats are not emphasized that well ( too lazy to check them now ).

I also checked on the more recently ranked maps and those have the same problems that some people pointed out. The current ranking criteria is really old and needs renewing, but that's how it is atm so have to deal with it. However I still agree that map can be improved, but dqing the map to discuss is really painful and stupid imo. A lot of new mappers can't take it / don't understand it even if it was aimed at helping them improve their maps and end up abandoning their map instead of trying to put it back to qualified.

Just my thoughts, bye.

- find a Composer who can remix this song, Remix it to Dubstep or hardcore, or breakcore genre song, then rank it immediately, so nobody complains about song again lol.

probably [My Hero!] diff is OKAY, dont insult xexxar for low quality terms of mapping please. The standard of mappings is like this at all

but yeah the song choice is the key of this thing at all

Of course you would :P
Kunino Sagiri
You don't see people complaining about decent 6 star maps filled with jumps. Maybe they bash it by "lol pp jump maps again" "RSI map huhu" but that's as far as it goes.

The last diff's 01:06:305-01:16:832 is filled with patterns that forces you to miss that it puts most of Skystar's diffs and maps to shame if that's who you want to compare with. I could mention some maps with higher star/jump difficulties than this with 0 complaints but I think that's unnecessary.
ac8129464363
Your concerns are irrelevant. We're talking about this map alone, and not any other map. Maps are considered on case-by-case. It's just a bit disappointing that people only get up in arms about this map.

Kunino Sagiri wrote:

Or maybe you just can't aim them? A lot of people would find these easy, so that's completely down to the player. They definitely don't force you to miss.
Kinshara
Wow this thread blew up.

Well, I think we should stop commenting on the difficulty of the map. Xexxar doesn't seem to be yielding to any of the reasons anyway. The original DQ reason was unused hitsounds, and that has been fixed. If you wanna mod, go ahead.

Let's move this map forward instead of holding it back.

Bpm is lower. Pattern fits the beat of the song.

What is your complaint? It's too hard? That's subjective as deetz said.

Kunino Sagiri
"I am free to put totally-not-Kneesocks patterns for as long as I like for as long as the song permits it and I happen to made the patterns fit the beat of the song"

So, if this song hypothetically got extended by 20 seconds filled with 01:06:305-01:16:832 music and those same kind of patterns you hypothetically made now last from 01:06:305-01:36:832, it's still justifiable? The patterns would indeed fit the song and as deetz had said, difficulty really is subjective so no matter who'd try to complain they would be just brushed off.

I'm curious, please answer this question and I'll go away at once regardless.

if the section was doubled in length id simply start the section at a lower intensity with more sliders and slowly rebuild to the peak jump intensity. idk why you ask this tho since its not...

I modified the map slightly for some jumps in the slower section that I felt were somewhat excessive. I also changed out 2 groups of 2 1/2 jumps for 1/2 sliders.

If there are still complaints regarding the spacing of this difficulty. I'd like for specific and constructive comments. At this point there is literally just so much confusion, disarray and differing opinions that I'd just like to start with a fresh mind as for the rest of this maps's ranking process.
Shiirn
Just popping in to say that the My Hero diff now has a much better sense of intensity and while I still think the spacing is completely overkill, it is no longer quite as uniform across the map and does scale much more accurately with the intensity of the song. I'm not saying that I specifically approve of it, or that I even like it: I don't like it. But I am letting it be known that I see marked improvement. Should it be ranked? I'll leave that to BNs and, during the qualification process, the QAT and the community.

MAYBE make Anxient's Hard cs 3.8 or 3.9? Just a quick suggestion, since if you're gonna change the cs for the harder diffs, why not the lower diffs? (P.S, the CS change would only take away .01* from the diff, even CS3.8.)

Don't have time to check post by post, but i think those were the only mod posts, anyways remember that we were discussing this Beatmap not other.
As I said in my experience as a modder I believe the quality of ¨My Hero¨ diff isn't enough for the ranking section (of course my opinion), for the reasons that i did posted in my previous mod post (Also check shiirn post, he did post basically my feeling about this diff as well).

No we aren't saying Jumps are too hard to play, what we are saying is the overall spacing in the diff does not correlate with this song, is really noticeable that you trying to add more strong feeling to the song by using Hitnormal over soft sounds, such as 00:14:663 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5) - (this happen in all the difficulty,, and is really noticeable when playing, I gues you should try to use a proper hitsounding that fit the song.

OD9 doesn't make much sense in a 168 bpm eroge soft song, there isn't any note locking, in fact your map its ¨jumpy¨, jumps at low bpm doesn't play that nicely with such high OD, making the gameplay uncomfortable, you can tell me Hey my difficulty is hard it fit, but being honest the difficulty is really easy, the star rating comes by the abusing of spacing only.

Map doesn't follow a main spacing and doesn't follow a theme is just jumps around the screen (mapping is simple, but overdone), Extra difficulty in fact is really really similar to My Hero, but Extra follow a spacing that correlate better with the song, sometimes it seems like My Hero is a copy of Extra with a scaling by XX.

I'm fine with all the spread until Extra diff, but I strongly believe that My Hero diff is overdone and not needed, because Extra diff already take all what the song offer to you, My Hero raise the limit of what the song provide you, making not sense with the song anymore.

Of course this is my opinion and you are free to ignore it, this is my last post in this thread unless you call me for again, feel free to ignore and continue with ranking process.

Best of luck with this set-.

Should it not reflect the overall difficulty of the song and the complicatedness of the rhythm at hand? It seems silly to me to have 6 star maps that everyone can 99.5% simply because low OD cause of whatever reason.

Map doesn't follow a main spacing and doesn't follow a theme is just jumps around the screen (mapping is simple, but overdone), Extra difficulty in fact is really really similar to My Hero, but Extra follow a spacing that correlate better with the song, sometimes it seems like My Hero is a copy of Extra with a scaling by XX. so my hero doesnt follow a theme, but is similar to the extra diff which is okay... i don't understand? This is a contradiction. If you're saying that extra and hero are similar but with just increased or decreased levels of base spacing than how is the construction of my hero incorrect and "doesn't follow a theme is just jumps around the screen" ?

I'm fine with all the spread until Extra diff, but I strongly believe that My Hero diff is overdone and not needed, because Extra diff already take all what the song offer to you, My Hero raise the limit of what the song provide you, making not sense with the song anymore.

I have updated the beatmap by including another difficulty which has the jumps of the slow section nerfed in order to make the map more consistent with the song.

Since this is apparently the problem.
