How can you argue semantics without language?
Seems like a circular argument.

i faintly remember reading the article and writing a sort of summary on this very forum, a couple years ago. My english was slightly more broken back then, so maybe i'll revisit the topic and rewrite the post, because its actually sort of interesting.Dawnsday wrote:

If this game's history was broken up by eras, I'd say we are in the Medieval Times era approaching Renaissance. There have been almost no great developments to the game in the past 2 years, maps style is all and the same and it's all about the PP religion. Once osu!lazer, moddingv2, and the new website rolls out we can expect great works of art to come with it.

you have NO idea what mapping drama is

I remember Mr. Color saying that mapsets should only have one map of each difficulty. Typical mod behaviour, they love enforcing completely pointless rules, probably just to be an annoyance.Stefan wrote:
Tell me, genius, how does having a lot of extra diffs negatively impact a mapset? Are you worried your precious casual players won't be able to find the easy diffs if there are too many?
Do you really think your behaviour validates anything but my claim of your arrogant domineering attitude, in that you think your arbitrary logic is superior to all of the plebeians who play and map and thus you should have authority to enforce your will on every inconsequential aspect? Perhaps you have good points, but that fact that you cannot accept that there might be two different interpretations of a song that are around the same difficult is an example of the most unnecessary, extreme and counter-productive facets of regulation and red-tape that unnecessarily restricts the creative freedom of mappers to create great mapsets, for the most superficial definitions of "quality" imaginable. That is, nothing but the "quality" of a consistent and standardised product like that from a factory line; the products we're dealing with are irregular, by their nature of being an individual's interpretation of a song converted into the new technical dimensions of mapping. When, like music, defining the exact qualities that constitute quality mapping is an incredibly hard thing to do, especially considering individual preference is involved, how then do we justify having such overbearing rules by applying such arbitrary considerations as "star rating" and "difficulty spread" and claiming they are the most important factors to which none other take precedent?Angry Frenchman wrote:

It is the same thing... for the player. Now for the mapper, especially new mappers that are considering whether to rank a map or not, this is a huge difference. It offers the flexibility to focus on individual difficulties instead of multiple difficulties. You also don't need a mapper giving up ranking entire mapset over some drama due to a diff that can and should be worked on later. There are so many mappers like me that bail on ranking because it's too much of a stretch to rank a full spread at a time. It's like giving a 70 page packet for you to finish whenever you feel like it. 70 pages feels intimidating, so you just push it a side to due something else. Now give a 2 page packet and you consider that you can get it done quickly enough not to take up much time. Then comes another 2 page packet, not too scary. Rinse and repeat. I'd say the current system with spreads works fine in most areas concerning quality, but it wasn't made with the thought of attracting mappers by understanding their psychology.Okorin wrote:
your argument is based around the assumption that sets are flawed ideas, but how is providing content to each playing level a flawed concept?
the current spread thing is boiling down to the same thing you described as ~just ranking more diffs as you move on~ except it waits for all the things you would make over the course of time moving on and based around the idea that full packages of content are to hit ranked status at the same time instead of diffs for specific audiences
the most toxic idea that floats around in the contemporary mapping community, is pishifat's tenet that a ''good'' map should represent the song. He just made that up, but people like the idea because his voice is apparently so soothing that they forget to consider the massive obstacle they created by forcing an arbitrary creative restriction on mappers based on one guy's subjective preference.abraker wrote:
The concept of spreads is a toxic idea from the beginning which now we can't imagine without of.

SPOILEROh this got revived. Ok then I will use the opportunity.
Peppy hates how the latest Aspire map breaks the game. However I think that the game should support such things. It's through this kind of creative mapping we move our creativity forward to the point we are asking for new mechanics to be implemented.
Speaking of mechanics, I want to see hold notes being supported as well as variable SV sliders. Just imagine having the slider go loopy-loop, slowing down, and end in a gentle stop. Man, the type of maps mappers would be able to create with that mechanic would be amazing. It just needs a ranking criteria of something like "Sliders are not to slow down or speed up more than X ps/s^s"
It's getting out of hand right now. People are accepting this, and the BN system isn't doing jack shit. They're letting people like Monstrata just speedrank over and over, and people like me out of the blue. 2016 I tried to get a map ranked, didn't work out, the year before, didn't work out. So far no luck on this year because BN system after my last map was ranked got shittier and shittier. It's just so bad now. And I feel like I expressed my opinion too much when I say this, people don't map for quality anymore, they map for quantity of pp, 6 insanes, 6 extras, and 1 easy. Fucking seriously.johnmedina999 wrote:
I usually don't care but I have to agree with this.
The BN system is supposed to make sure each and every difficulty of every map up for ranking status is quality. I don't get how there can be two clearly identical maps with the only difference being that someone did Ctrl+a and Ctrl+h and still have that ranked.
