As Kamikaze said we will do some testings tomorrow to see what can we do. I still think changing stuff now is a nope for the low amount of time that we do have but worth the shot.
How about if you also try to give some data and input related to that? Like people already said, your post was just some images telling how bad this is without real arguments and if I have to guess thats why it was deleted.
We will see what do we find tomorrow

Second, I think I mentioned enough con-arguments, but I can list the main ones again:
- since some people see visual mods as handicap while others find them helpful it would strongly depend on the type of player a country is represented by instead of their actual skill
- banning mods in the default bracket makes no sense other than upsetting players who prefer them since they can be skinned anyway so you can just leave them in
- mod multipliers are very unbalanced atm and overall yet to be discussed
- it makes no sense to give a choice between 2 mods that have different multipliers
- the absolute majority of players doesn't like this system overall (its your choice whether you make this tournament for the community or for development purposes)
I'd rather say it's your turn to give some pro-arguments. the only one I recall atm is "we need to test scoreV2 somehow", which brings us back to con-argument #5.
Also, what about the testing results you mentioned?
EDIT: btw am I allowed to pick HD/FI ADDITIONALLY in the mod bracket when I decide to pick HR?
Aaah this is the kind of reply i've been looking for all the time, thank you so much-Kamikaze- wrote:

#1 - That is fine in my opinion because 1) that's still a part of tactics around the tournament to either get a player to learn the mod or pick one who already can do the mod 2) people who find those mods to be helpful more often than not will struggle on nomod so you have a drawback either way
#2 - Those mods are banned (or moved to nomod rather) exactly because they can be skinned away and the effects of them can be neglected or neutralized by a decent amount. While I personally would leave FI in, that's staff's decision and I understand it
#3 - They are not yet to be discussed, they have been discussed and after I've tested some things (p/5317537 and presented it to smoogi he said the multipliers will be adjusted
#4 - That's arguable, while that is a valid point, I personally think that the harshness of the timing windows on OD10 + HR (+/- 24,5ms for 300, +/- 11,5ms for a max) warrants a slightly bigger multiplier to reward top tier accuracy more
#5 - I don't find that argument, or at least the back half of it a good excuse to just abandon all changes. People are afraid of changes, especially when you're changing something that has roots VERY deep in the community. I also can bet that half of the players hating on the changes didn't test it and just saw screens of the first version with 500k S score and other type of broken things alongside, while they may not be aware of all the changes and adjustments that have been done to v2 since then
And yes, you can use HD/FI alongside HR (since HD/FI and FL cancel out eachother) in freemod, they just count the same as nomod.
I still dont understand how that would eliminate the visual handucap because your screen would still be covered. Adding a skinned cover would even increase the handicap since that way you have maximum shadow ALL THE TIME. I do understand the judgement line thing you mentioned for FI though.-Kamikaze- wrote:
You can completely nullify the effect of cover increasing wiith combo and tbh you don't even need a skin for it, you can use your shirt, a piece of paper or whatever, and due to mods not being tied to hitposition of the skin, you can lower hitposition to the very bottom of your screen for FI and gain a lot more room to read.
The shadow distance is not the largest inhibitor for everyone - it's the shadow changing position that turns out to be an issue.LastExceed wrote:

But even if it was possible to completely remove the shadow and regain full vision, why is that a reason to bann the mod? Theres no advantage to it

Thats why FL is easier for most people because of stable vision area so you dont need any lanecovers.-Kamikaze- wrote:

Yeah, but as long FL+HR is not playable you can always pick HR and win anyways. Yeah, it hits your accuracy but idk.Tidek wrote:

I dont know whether staff realize that FI doesnt help in reading for 99,9% people even with lanecovers about staff is scared (heh, make FL vision area combo dependent and almost everyone will make lane covers for it) and make FL as a pick in freemod bracket (with score multiplier) that is significantly easier for most people than FI (we have also FL mains) is totally absurd.
Yes, I feel better with FI than with FL because my reading is focused on top of the screen (upscroll) so FL is unplayable for me and putting FI free to pick in nomod bracket is like saying "fu*k you" to those people because they will do better without mods and automatically put them on worse position in freemod bracket.
Atm its totally favourzing players who are more capable with FL, unfortunately.
Oops you're right o.O nvm thenHalogen- wrote:
I'm pretty sure what Loctav said means you can use them in both, the only difference is that HD/FI do not satisfy the requirement of mods used in free mod. That means that you could have a team doing no mod, no mod, HR and satisfy the condition of it because of the HR player, but you can't have a team doing no mod, no mod, HD because HD is not considered eligible for qualifying for FM. One of the players would need to add either HR/FL (obviously will be HR because HD + FL = nope).
surely you want to take players out of their comfort zone, however, did you know some of the players have been playing HD for many years and they will be forced to switch to nomod just because of the rules of this tournament? They will never compare with hardcore nomod players since they will not have enough time to practice or they do not have enough experience. Also if you think in the opposite way its also true as nomod players will never hit as accurate compared to pro HD players since it is not their best ability to play with such mod. This is why its not fair at all. I believe the better way to do is to release the scoreV2 however give a certain amount of time for players to adjust their skill sets (maybe a few months or even a year) so mostly everyone will be on the same level. Just my opinion.-Kamikaze- wrote:
FI on upscroll does the exact same thing as on downscroll. And why FI? Because FI unlike HD forces you to cut your scroll speed to about 40% just to be able to read it properly. On HD, you're using a scroll speed relatively close to your nomod scroll so it's not that hard to learn it. However FI requires a lot more practice.
Also for the "who even plays FI" question - everyone who has their focus point on the screen (the area where you look at notes) below middle and/or people who play on relatively slow scroll speed. If you have your focus point directly in the middle, FL will be better for you, but if you look lower - FI is the way. I myself prefer FI over FL actually.

I think having scoreV2 in official MWC would be a really fun experience, you know why? because think about the ''challenges'' you are facing as a player that way, getting everyone off their comfort zone, where everyone could have an advantage (or not) on a lot of things, it would be a truly significant experience to people in this MWC. If you're not a wuss about loosing your precious ''prize and profile badge' then this might be the best thing that could come to you as a player, i'm pretty sure winning a tourney when you're that high leveled in skillset you'd be pretty much bored and wouldn't find it
remotely interesting at all. plus on the other hand this could actually furthen the development for our beloved game mode, it would be pretty hilarious seeing one of the top 4k players getting these absurd scores and would be pretty entertaining to watch from viewers perspective aswell imo, so yeah i'm not really doubting the staffs choices on it at all, it's something i'm looking forward to see and remember lmao.
Was trying to look at it from a top player's perspective i mean, the whole point of the tourney should be competing and challenging yourself am i wrong?Halogen- wrote:

gah... you didn't quite get the point either.blackout3015 wrote:

Yes i get it for people like you are not predicted to be finalists can say that its not about winning, but did you think about the ones like Halogen- and his other teammates who have already won one championship and due to the change in rules they might not be able to win again. Did you watch the 2015 4k world cup? I mean they definitely deserved it, from the accuracy, the combo and the score, they defeated every single country in this world. They did not just win because they followed the rules or better at manipulating it by finding the best player for certain mods etc. So if you think in their persepctive, every one of them wants to win and its the reason why they took the hassle to sign up and even create a thread like this, you get me? Competitiveness is already real.
And i find it pretty stupid to fear over score v2 because you wouldn't win easily.
That shouldn't matter that much since everyone basically knows of ''scoreV2'' and they probably checked the wiki / all teams should've read the rules to understand what's going on.LastExceed wrote:
This tournament should be called "V2 tournament" instead of "world cup", just as the brackets should be called "free-bracket" and "mod-bracket" instead of "NoMod" and "FreeMod", becauseIt's not bad the way it is, the names are just very misleading.
- winning a tournament that is about something new/a specific cathegory doesnt make you a "champion" in general
- a bracket where FI/HD are optional isnt NoMod
- a bracket where you're forced to use a mod isn't FreeMod

You can reside wherever you are, what matters alone is your profile flag. However, if your entire team is in Canada and you are in China, I hardly can have the match times align properly for you and the rest of your team, so be aware that I can't take your unusual timezone (relative to your team) into consideration.Piggy wrote:

Thats because V2 is not implemented on fallback. So when you have songs that are OD8 or higher the accuracy room is tighter.lim38 wrote:

If it wasnt for SK tho, this tourney would be sooo much harder to predict! Taking them down will be a pain for all the teams remaining at this point.

On the other hand, WindyS seems to have retired according to his profile, so perhaps slight LNs advantage for Brazil?
