However HT would still affect the biggest score board of them all.

Upon which you're above all the half time abusers. Your point?

Hey that's not fair I just bet kai like 3 minutes ago.

When you look at it as a big perspective, instead of just one map, some users can build up tens of millions by abusing HalfTime. A lot of users are seperated by just 3 or 4 million even in the top 10.

Same concept applies to individual scoreboards as does the player rankings.

Why did you even bother replying to something so fallacious?

Ok, delete ALL half time scores from the top 5 on a beatmap and keep all of the remaining scores. Then make Osu! only accept half time scores if the score isn't good enough to make the top 5. Doing this would solve the issue of half time scores dominating the scoreboard on some beatmaps, and would help prevent any future abuse of the mod.

tl;dr version: Make the highest rank achievable by using the half time mod, #6 on scoreboard.

Are there really that many beatmaps that are so hard that you can't get into the top 5 without HT? It seems like the number of them would be a small fraction compared to the overall total number of beatmaps, and wouldn't make THAT big of a difference in the grand scheme of things.

I am totally for removing half time scores from individual song scoreboards.

THERE IS TOO MUCH DRAMA IN THIS TOPIC

seriously if it's too much to just settle on something (because deleting HT scores/changing multiplier is too much to discuss) then HT might as well stay the same

we already debated it. there's nothing left to discuss

we've come to the conclusion, and the clear answer is...? you tell me, because i would like to know
btw if it's inconclusive then it stays the same lols
then again, there is the poll... but no action has been taken so we're running on empty

Cause Rolled is below those people on the player ranking?

Think about how contractions work. It's short for "You all."

I thought about doing this a long time ago.

I should quick find which ones I need to do this to. ;x

If all HT scores are going to be deleted then does that mean that any achievement accomplished with halftime will have to be redone?

That would suck because that's the only thing I ever used halftime for, and then it get killed. :(

[00:14] <Cyclone|IRC> if a person loses the only score they have a 2000+ combo on
[00:14] <Cyclone|IRC> will that affect their achievemtns
[00:14] <peppy> depends if i make it

That's all i can tell you

Well if Half Time is getting wiped, then I guess I'll lose... two scores (Kanbu and Marisa). I guess it's my fault for half-timing popular songs that gets me labelled as a half-timer even though I've only used it twice.

It'll be nice to see Seishoujo, Saitama 2000, and virtually all my Insane maps without half-timers near the top though.
RemmyX25
I've only HT Kanbu and something else, I can't remember (prolly Marisa).

Meh, I'll do without, I guess.

Half-time = Easy Modo.

I go for leaving it as is, but you should just morally feel ashamed of yourself if you have to stoop to that level.

Personally? Yes, I have used Half Time to beat songs. But on no songs have I actually used it to FC. Why you ask? Because on the songs that I DID use Half Time on, it was in a situation where I just went "Fuck this shit.", and went for quick points plus a set back in accuracy.

And with that, brb going back to said songs to beat them proper.

You're telling me, I went down 29.

I guess I was really only fighting for the two of us, because after looking through the rankings up to me, no one else made a significant jump like us.
ThePassingShadow
I ended up going down by only ~700k. I fixed a lot of HT scores, though. Poor minyeob and Bia lost tons. As soon as Kai logs in, he might drop out of the top ten.

I went up a rank :3

I would think Easy would do better unless you're missing a complete circle. :o

Either way I wouldn't resort to mods like this. D: I would just practice my butt off on the Editor and hope something good comes out of me. That's why I don't think it affected me...hopefully.

HalfTime can really be cheating. :| You can master a 16th stream easily on HalfTime, and I feel the x.3 reduction is not bad. But yeah, boo-hoo to those people who do use Half-Time prior to the change...:/
