Hello [ White Music ]!~ Thanks for stopping by ^_^

I did a couple of changes on Insane based on Zetera's suggestions on IRC while playtesting this map btw - to Zetera : If you'd like to be given kudosu for this feel free to post in the thread/let me know xD

SPOILER
20.04 *Niva is listening to [https://osu.ppy.sh/b/1373115 LhoU - Taylor]
20.04 Niva: Here's the map btw xD
20.05 Zetera: oh great, it's LhoU
20.06 Zetera: love it already
20.06 Zetera: okay, let's see
20.06 Niva: Yep
20.07 Niva: Well, I last mapped in 2015-ish and to be honest I haven't looked at the newer maps that much so I'm thoroughly curious about how the current players would respond to this map xD
20.10 Zetera: This is fantastic
20.10 Zetera: Really like it
20.10 Zetera: great rhythm choice as well, I'd only change very few distances
20.10 Niva: Ah, thank you xD
20.11 Zetera: That was very enjoyable
20.11 Zetera: especially the slow parts were nice
20.12 Zetera: 01:15:665 (2,4,6) - I'd change these sliders to something that captivates the upwards movement a bit more
20.12 Niva: I see
20.12 Zetera: For example if you'd just rotate them by 90 degrees around the selection center
20.12 Zetera: that would work really well
20.13 Niva: Ah, that's actually really nice
20.13 Niva: I might have to work out the placement of the next (1) though
20.13 Zetera: yeah it's a bit easier on the hand ;)
20.14 Zetera: Yeah, you'd have to place that somewhere else
20.14 Zetera: Too bad that this isn't 5 minutes long
20.14 Zetera: I'd really like to see this ranked
20.16 Niva: Thank you Zetera~
20.16 Niva: Do you have other concerns btw?
20.17 Zetera: Only that I would've increased the spacing here: 00:15:502 (4,5,6,7,8,9,10) -
20.17 Zetera: Just a tad, nothing crazy
20.19 Niva: Okay~
20.19 Niva: Thank you very much once again btw ^^
20.19 Zetera: Not at all, was happy to help you out

Hallo
#modreqsM4M

02:24:796 - 02:41:426 add kiai?

[Easy]
00:14:687 (1,2) maybe do slightly are close for better distance?
00:32:948 (2,3) check distance
00:42:405 (2) end slider move slightly left for better flow?
01:13:057 (3,1,2,3) - 01:40:774 (1,2,3,4) - 02:46:970 (3,1,2,3) - 02:50:883 (3,1,2,3) - 03:18:600 (1,2,3,4) i think this circles can change on slider because I think that for beginners will be a difficult to press the 4 circles in a row
[Normal]
00:33:274 (3,4,1) check distance
00:36:209 (1,2) ^
00:49:252 (4,1) slightly far
01:07:350 (6,1) slightly far
and still there during kiai you have some objects a different distance, can make them the same?
02:34:905 (4,1,2) do the same distance?
02:39:144 (4,1,2) ^
[Hard]
as for me look clear
[Insane]
00:10:611 (7) move left?
00:13:709 strange moment when 00:13:709 (4,1) stack and 00:14:035 (5,2) overlap
00:31:644 (6,8) - 00:31:807 (7,9) make them similar in distance?
00:54:796 (4,6) before anything similar was not, you can certainly it leave, but it might still stack?

Hallo
#modreqsM4M

02:24:796 - 02:41:426 add kiai? Hmm, I'll leave this as is as 00:32:296 (1) doesn't have a kiai~

[Easy]
00:14:687 (1,2) maybe do slightly are close for better distance? Hmm, they're equally spaced already though o.o
00:32:948 (2,3) check distance I've checked this without the Grid Snap on this one and the distance here is indeed wrong, thanks for mentioning~
00:42:405 (2) end slider move slightly left for better flow? Yes, that'll do
01:13:057 (3,1,2,3) - 01:40:774 (1,2,3,4) - 02:46:970 (3,1,2,3) - 02:50:883 (3,1,2,3) - 03:18:600 (1,2,3,4) i think this circles can change on slider because I think that for beginners will be a difficult to press the 4 circles in a row Yes, I'm aware of this, but this is meant for variation actually. I'll leave this as is for now (:

[Normal]
00:33:274 (3,4,1) check distance
00:36:209 (1,2) ^
00:49:252 (4,1) slightly far
01:07:350 (6,1) slightly far
and still there during kiai you have some objects a different distance, can make them the same?
02:34:905 (4,1,2) do the same distance?
02:39:144 (4,1,2) ^ Eh... I've checked them all (including the kiai) and they all are perfectly following the Distance Snap here hehe - the only part on this map that I made intentionally not to obey the Distance Snap here is 01:37:839 (3,4) to emphasize the stacking (the difference is barely noticeable anyway) but I tweaked some of them~

[Hard]
as for me look clear

[Insane]
00:10:611 (7) move left? Actually it was the (6) which should be slightly moved right hehe, thanks for mentioning though :3
00:13:709 strange moment when 00:13:709 (4,1) stack and 00:14:035 (5,2) overlap (5,2) is actually not noticeable at all during playthrough (due to (5) already fading out) hehe - I moved (4) slightly to the right though so that the stack would (hopefully) look more natural xD
00:31:644 (6,8) - 00:31:807 (7,9) make them similar in distance? Hmm, I get what you mean here but to get the pinpoint equal distance here would take a lot of effort orz D:
00:54:796 (4,6) before anything similar was not, you can certainly it leave, but it might still stack? This manual stacking here is very much intentional
Sorry for the late reply, I was busy with other things in the past days. Thanks for the mod~

Modding Niva's map, **Achievement unlocked**
still awesome hitsounding and an unique style ;w;

Easy

  1. 00:12:731 (1,2) - i'm not that fan of this kind of flow in easy, because i consider that everything should be smooth and simple to play in easy diffs. This motion is not that smooth because 00:12:731 (1) - 's curve and direction is the opposite of 00:13:709 (2) - which makes the player plays a reversed "W" motion with a circle. Using that kind of motion with sliders is fine as long as everything is built around it as you did. It's better to keep doing this like this 00:04:905 (1,2,3) - . You're free to keep it because it is still playable by beginners, but i would not do that in my maps.
  2. 01:40:774 (1,2,3,4) - this motion might be a little difficult to handle for beginners especially with circles, the transition between 01:39:796 (3,1) - looks a little harsh, and it would be better if you move 01:40:774 (1,2,3,4) - a little on the right to make this motion smoother. i could say the same thing with 02:37:513 (1,2,3,4) -
  3. 01:51:861 (3) - it's just an impression, but this tick 01:52:513 - should be clicked because the note on it is really strong and introduces the most strong part of this section and it doesn't really give the best impression when it is just followed by a sliderend.
  4. 02:43:383 (1) - i'd reverse its curve for a smoother motion, but the current one is fine.
  5. 03:04:905 (1,2,3,4,1) - i don't really know what you wanted to do here, but visually this could be improved, i mean the curve can be better if you move 03:06:861 (1) - upward

Normal

  1. 00:58:709 (3,4,1) - for visual, it would be nice if they are aligned because there is currently and angle between them that make this pattern not that polished, compared to what you did earlier with straight objects like 00:53:818 (1,2,3) - or 00:48:600 (2,3,4) -
  2. 02:23:165 (3,1,2,3) - this is the kind of flow or pattern i haven't seen in the map and it looks a little weird because compared to structured patterns you did earlier, this current on looks a little ou of place. The player will be attracted by this circle 02:23:818 (1) - and he wont play the whole slider 02:23:165 (3) - , so it would be better if you move 02:23:818 (1,2,3) - a little on the left to make this flow smoother.

Hard

  1. 00:27:731 (4,5,1) - i see that you increase progressively the distance between each objects but when playing, it feel like 00:28:057 (5,1) - is an antijump because of the angle. You make the player plays the whole sliders here 00:27:405 (3,4,5) -, but the player doesn't have to play the whole slider (5) to hit 00:28:383 (1) -. And this appears like an antijump when the distance is supposed to be higher if you see what i mean. Consider making 00:28:057 (5,1) - played with a straight flow like you did for 00:27:405 (3,4) - , if you intention is to show that the distance between objects is increasing progressively.
  2. 01:39:144 (2) - it would be nice if you keep the same distance, so 2.5x (the distance after it is 2.27)
  3. 02:39:144 (5,1,2) - this current flow between these objects is a little unnaturally to play and much aiming skills is required to handle 02:39:470 (1,2) - . You play a shape with 02:38:491 (3,4,5) - and then 02:39:470 (1,2) - and the transition between them is a straight line but an irregular distance, which is in my opinion a little difficult to handle. A solution to make this pattern more comfortable to play is to make an angle between them like this : (it reduces the stress)
  4. 03:00:991 (1,2,3) - the difference concerning spacing is noticeable, it would be nice to fix it.

Insane

  1. 00:24:144 (7,8,1) - this staight flow which is not straight triggers me a little, the gameplay is not really affected but it would be nice to make things perfectly straight for visuals :3
  2. 01:24:959 (7,2) - Avoiding this overlap would make the pattern better for visuals.
  3. 01:43:709 (6,7,8,9,1) - I'd rather see 3 1/2 sliders here because there are 3 same notes (which would be on each sliderstart) in a row with the same intensity. 3 sliders would give a better contrast according to what you put before (a jump pattern with circles). The current pattern works well because the circle 01:44:198 (7) - makes this 01:44:361 (8,9,1) - played strongly, but imo the song suggests more 3 sliders than the current pattern. You did the same thing with sliders here 01:50:557 (1,2,3,4) - for example.

I spent more time than expected when modding, maybe because i like this map ;w;
Good luck ~

P.S : You should map Käfig /me runs

Ayy from my q.

Easy:
00:56:752 (3) - Don't let this touch the hit meter. Happens again at 02:39:470 (1)
01:37:187 (1,2,3) - Make these straight. (3) looks a little off.
01:58:383 (1) - I'm not a big fan of such a sharp angle right before a reverse arrow in this slider. Straighten it out a little.
03:31:644 (1) - Make this slider end to the last white tick just like your other difficulties.

Normal:
01:05:557 (1,2,3,4,5) - I think it's better if you make it a perfect pentagon.

Hard:
01:34:905 (1,2,3,4,5) - Move (5) just a little bit to the left so that the slider heads form a perfect pentagon.
02:08:328 (1,2,3,4) - The slider head of (4) could be made closer to (3) so a better diamond shape could form.

Insane:
Looks clear

I enjoyed this map. All I can suggest is small aesthetic changes. GL

00:56:752 (3) - Don't let this touch the hit meter. Happens again at 02:39:470 (1) Actually there's nothing in the Ranking Criteria that forbids it hehe, it should be very much fine as long as the object doesn't get off-screen~

01:37:187 (1,2,3) - Make these straight. (3) looks a little off. Fixed
01:58:383 (1) - I'm not a big fan of such a sharp angle right before a reverse arrow in this slider. Straighten it out a little. Yeah, after some consideration I do think that this slider's shape would be familiar for beginners so I made this into a simpler shape instead :3
03:31:644 (1) - Make this slider end to the last white tick just like your other difficulties. Nice catch, fixed!

Normal:
01:05:557 (1,2,3,4,5) - I think it's better if you make it a perfect pentagon. Not quite sure but I hope the pentagon's better now~

Hard:
01:34:905 (1,2,3,4,5) - Move (5) just a little bit to the left so that the slider heads form a perfect pentagon. Okay
02:08:328 (1,2,3,4) - The slider head of (4) could be made closer to (3) so a better diamond shape could form. Yep, fixed

You're free to keep it because it is still playable by beginners, but i would not do that in my maps. Mirrored this slider's direction, should be fine now
  2. 01:40:774 (1,2,3,4) - this motion might be a little difficult to handle for beginners especially with circles, the transition between 01:39:796 (3,1) - looks a little harsh, and it would be better if you move 01:40:774 (1,2,3,4) - a little on the right to make this motion smoother. i could say the same thing with 02:37:513 (1,2,3,4) - Both are intentional, actually (I'm aiming more for the aesthetics here). I tweaked the first one's path a bit, though~
  3. 01:51:861 (3) - it's just an impression, but this tick 01:52:513 - should be clicked because the note on it is really strong and introduces the most strong part of this section and it doesn't really give the best impression when it is just followed by a sliderend. Ah, yes, I've given a lot of thought about this while mapping this actually. I want to put an object there but to do this means that I have to end this slider 1/2 earlier, which doesn't fit the rest of the map at all (since the rest of the map doesn't even have a 1/2 anywhere) and above that there are no other feasible rhythm that I can snap this slider's end into so I thought snapping the slider end there would be the best option here o.o
  4. 02:43:383 (1) - i'd reverse its curve for a smoother motion, but the current one is fine. Decided to lessen the curve's intensity instead (:
  5. 03:04:905 (1,2,3,4,1) - i don't really know what you wanted to do here, but visually this could be improved, i mean the curve can be better if you move 03:06:861 (1) - upward It's intentional, it's not meant to be a curve but rather a linear v-shape :3

Normal

  1. 00:58:709 (3,4,1) - for visual, it would be nice if they are aligned because there is currently and angle between them that make this pattern not that polished, compared to what you did earlier with straight objects like 00:53:818 (1,2,3) - or 00:48:600 (2,3,4) - I want to make them arranged in a straight line but I'm running out of playspace here unfortunately ._.
  2. 02:23:165 (3,1,2,3) - this is the kind of flow or pattern i haven't seen in the map and it looks a little weird because compared to structured patterns you did earlier, this current on looks a little ou of place. The player will be attracted by this circle 02:23:818 (1) - and he wont play the whole slider 02:23:165 (3) - , so it would be better if you move 02:23:818 (1,2,3) - a little on the left to make this flow smoother. Fixed

That's not the intention, but I see your point here - I've put (1) a bit further though so that the anti-jump would be less obvious~
  2. 01:39:144 (2) - it would be nice if you keep the same distance, so 2.5x (the distance after it is 2.27) Ah, I've never thought of it while mapping it (I simply went for the aesthetics here) but I've moved (2) more to the left here, hopefully the distance here would be more even
  3. 02:39:144 (5,1,2) - this current flow between these objects is a little unnaturally to play and much aiming skills is required to handle 02:39:470 (1,2) - . You play a shape with 02:38:491 (3,4,5) - and then 02:39:470 (1,2) - and the transition between them is a straight line but an irregular distance, which is in my opinion a little difficult to handle. A solution to make this pattern more comfortable to play is to make an angle between them like this : (it reduces the stress) I decided to CTRL + G (2) instead (which has the same effect to build the angle, more or less) and tweaked something around here
  4. 03:00:991 (1,2,3) - the difference concerning spacing is noticeable, it would be nice to fix it. Eh, the spacing's correct already actually :

Insane

  1. 00:24:144 (7,8,1) - this staight flow which is not straight triggers me a little, the gameplay is not really affected but it would be nice to make things perfectly straight for visuals :3 Hmm, although I see your point the idea here from the very beginning is very much to let (1) be in contact with (4,5,6) o.o
  2. 01:24:959 (7,2) - Avoiding this overlap would make the pattern better for visuals. Changed the direction of the stream here, I hope it works well with the next accelerated spacing pattern as well (:
  3. 01:43:709 (6,7,8,9,1) - I'd rather see 3 1/2 sliders here because there are 3 same notes (which would be on each sliderstart) in a row with the same intensity. 3 sliders would give a better contrast according to what you put before (a jump pattern with circles). The current pattern works well because the circle 01:44:198 (7) - makes this 01:44:361 (8,9,1) - played strongly, but imo the song suggests more 3 sliders than the current pattern. You did the same thing with sliders here 01:50:557 (1,2,3,4) - for example. Indeed, changed these into 3 1/2 sliders

I spent more time than expected when modding, maybe because i like this map ;w;

P.S : You should map Käfig /me runs Interesting song, although I personally still liked Atropos more :3
Thank you very much for your mods, and thank you as well to Net0 for the star (*^-^)

So much for doing it in the morning >.> - M4M from #modreq (i'll post link to shinitai-chan if the mod isn't too short)

i'lll edit this post later so...

Placeholder

EDIT: K most of this is really minor
Here the link to the map (you don't have to mod much since my mod is probably useless): https://osu.ppy.sh/s/519318

  • General
  1. Insane od seems a bit low (maybe just me) I suggest at least 8
  2. I don't believe Widescreen support should be on all difficulties

  • Insane
  1. 00:15:013 (2) - imo this would flow a bit better if it was rotate -11 (selection centre) and move it back (some slight adjustments if you do this)
  2. 00:31:318 (3) - for this note - being that it is a bit stronger and have a larger impact with the finish - I felt that it should had more spacing (oh course it would need adjustment to notes after this if you move it)\
  3. 01:31:318 (2,3,4,5) - can't speak much of this - not affecting much gameplay wise but this did felt a bit cramp compare to everything else in this kiai (probably just me but I figure it was worth mentioning at least)
  4. 01:45:339 - don't see the why you ignore this note - thought it was a bit strange when you could do something like this which still fits with the kiai imo
    I understand if you don't do it though
  • Hard
  1. 01:26:752 (6) - This is offscreen by Aimod
    Didn't actually find anything else
  • Normal
  1. 00:17:296 (2) - move this a little like maybe X:441 Y:321 to flow just a bit better
  2. 01:06:535 (4,5,6) - imo this is a little complex for an Normal - a new player could easily end up pressing (6) instead of (5) which will trip them up and miss a combo the way it is arrange and this is more of something I would see in an advanced difficulty - ya did it differently here 02:44:361 (4,5,6,1) - which is much easier to read for an new player imo
This was all I found and I hope it was useful in some form (Forgive poor grammar - I type really quick)

GL - Cool map :)

Here the link to the map (you don't have to mod much since my mod is probably useless): https://osu.ppy.sh/s/519318 Eh, it's fine :3

  • General
  1. Insane od seems a bit low (maybe just me) I suggest at least 8 Hmm, I cranked the OD and HP up to 7.5 instead as I didn't want it to be -that- challenging here hehe xD
  2. I don't believe Widescreen support should be on all difficulties Disabled widescreen support

  1. 00:15:013 (2) - imo this would flow a bit better if it was rotate -11 (selection centre) and move it back (some slight adjustments if you do this) Hmm, the (6,1,2) altogether are already perfectly separated away by 120° actually...
  2. 00:31:318 (3) - for this note - being that it is a bit stronger and have a larger impact with the finish - I felt that it should had more spacing (oh course it would need adjustment to notes after this if you move it)\ Moved this note one grid to the bottom left, not much that I can do here unfortunately D:
  3. 01:31:318 (2,3,4,5) - can't speak much of this - not affecting much gameplay wise but this did felt a bit cramp compare to everything else in this kiai (probably just me but I figure it was worth mentioning at least) Made the (3) and (5) a bit more spacious here

    I understand if you don't do it though It's very much intentional (I'm following the drums here), as I already did elsewhere (01:29:198 (2), 03:22:676 (2), etc)~
  • Hard
  1. 01:26:752 (6) - This is offscreen by Aimod ...oh, didn't notice this really, thank you very much for pointing this out
    Didn't actually find anything else
  • Normal
  1. 00:17:296 (2) - move this a little like maybe X:441 Y:321 to flow just a bit better Moved
  2. 01:06:535 (4,5,6) - imo this is a little complex for an Normal - a new player could easily end up pressing (6) instead of (5) which will trip them up and miss a combo the way it is arrange and this is more of something I would see in an advanced difficulty - ya did it differently here 02:44:361 (4,5,6,1) - which is much easier to read for an new player imo Leaving this as is for now - I personally don't really think that this is something that is overly complex though, plus because of the AR 5.5 here (not AR 4/5) the (4) has already fully disappeared when the (1) appears actually :3
This was all I found and I hope it was useful in some form (Forgive poor grammar - I type really quick) It's fine (:

GL - Cool map :)
Thank you very much Hailie for the mods and the star~
Also thank you very much to Error- for all the stars! I really wasn't expecting that, but I'm really thankful for your kindness (*^-^)

i suggest od 8 for the insane, it's not very challenging to get decent levels of accuracy on maps this straightforward for modern players as you may think

maybe flip the bg so that the main painting piece - that tree - isnt hidden beneath the song selection menu as much as it is currently?

preview of the song sounds better if you dont have the heavy drum section included and just the harmonic melody if you set it to something like 01:23:145 -

[insane]
01:02:948 (6,7) - stack are broken
00:15:991 (9,10) - 01:29:850 (3,4,5,6) - 01:45:502 (3,4,5,6,7) - 02:00:339 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - 02:08:818 (6) - 02:59:035 (1,2,3,4) - 03:15:665 (1,2,3,4) - 03:30:991 (4) - hitsounding and rhythm that you have the player click is so conflicting in these places. Hitsounding and the way the music contrasts everything else in the song would suggest that your mapping should reflect that with more circles to click but instead you opt to just have the hitsounds represent those
03:30:176 (6) - probably just circles works better than introducing something new just in the last pattern because you dont do this anywhere
02:29:361 (6,7,1) - the way autostacking works kind of breakes the aesthetic of this pattern

[hard]
00:00:992 - to 00:15:665 - should have waaaay less space in comparison to the rest of the map currently it feels out of pace to frist play calm as hell section to then change into playing the section that actually does stuff with barely changing spacing or percieved gameplay
intro could be less dense and less spaced
01:30:502 (6,1) - overlap is barely visible together and makes the pattern look a tad clunky i guess lol

[normal]
set tickrate to 1? you dont have enough rhythm density here to make the constant ticking sound not-distracting
ar could as well be 6

02:44:687 (5,6,1) - 01:05:557 (1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3) - these are more intense to play than most of the stuff that you do in the chorus of the map, contrasts heavily with how calm the song is in this place and i dont think that fits too well, would suggest simplifying rhythm more for these

[easy]
set tickrate to 1? you dont have enough rhythm density here to make the constant ticking sound not-distracting
that everything ovleraps will probably make the diff a ton of times harder to actually read properly for someone just starting out with the game. it also makes everything feel unnecessarily cluttered. i think going with higher spacing in general as well as a bit higher slidervelocity to avoid this would help a lot
right now this diff is probably harder to interpret than the normal and i think that's not at all what you're aiming for owhat you want to aim for with this difficulty

if you do this you will notice that the rhythm and the diff will start to feel like a normal, because that's what this diff pretty much is - a simplistic normal that was squashed together a bit

would consider nominating if the easy becomes an actual easy i think currently it's harder to play and read than the normal which is probably not what you want to have lol

what I would like to mention apart from oko is the orgel parts can have lower volumes at all the sliderslide sound and whistles are kinda loud which doesn't feel great when you just wanna play the beautiful orgel :(
[Insane]
00:38:328 (2) - perhaps give this a different spacing from 00:37:839 (7,8,9,1) - since you usually do a spacing magic to emphasize the snare sound such as 00:44:361 (2,3) -. there's one more section that I could find out that it's using a equivalent spacing 00:46:481 (3,4,5,6,7) - though this seems pretty fine as is because the finish is on 00:46:970 (4) - but on 00:38:002 (8,9,1) - just only 1/4 hi hats which don't really impact a lot, https://delisha.s-ul.eu/I7x0hQrY anti-jump like this one would be enough to represent the music properly, yet fitting to your style I think.
02:06:046 (6,7) - might wanna have normal sample on these for the drums. 02:02:214 (11) - is also something that I would like to place a normal sample even if the music doesn't really support for the single sound, it helps players playing triplets more consistently.
02:17:296 (5) - would go with simpler shape this feels so out of place lol
01:56:100 (5) - missing whistle maybe, apply in all diffs btw

[Hard]
set the stack leniency to 7? complete stack might be not the best for some newer dudes and also could help 02:00:013 (5,1) - etc since you had no space to manual stack it but having stack leniency at 7 does auto stack it so you can still keep the logic with those manual stacks.

maybe flip the bg so that the main painting piece - that tree - isnt hidden beneath the song selection menu as much as it is currently? Eh... I've tried this and it feels weird in the eye imo (perhaps it's because from left to right it goes from darker -> lighter instead of the opposite, I don't really know)

Hitsounding and the way the music contrasts everything else in the song would suggest that your mapping should reflect that with more circles to click but instead you opt to just have the hitsounds represent those Hmm, I always intended to follow what would be the most prominent instrument over the song - most of the time it goes with the melodies, but when the percussion goes more prominent I went out with it with continuing whistles on every distinguishable melodic instrument actually...

ar could as well be 6 As it'll help the players to read some stacks such as 01:06:861 (4,5,1) I don't see why not~

02:44:687 (5,6,1) - 01:05:557 (1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3) - these are more intense to play than most of the stuff that you do in the chorus of the map, contrasts heavily with how calm the song is in this place and i dont think that fits too well, would suggest simplifying rhythm more for these Umm, the three 1/2s are very much intentional actually as the song very much calls for it there. As for the rhythm I tried to simplify 01:05:883 (2,3) into a slider (to reduce the amount of circles there) but I can't really say I'm very pleased with the new pattern - I hope it works fine for others, though :3

what I would like to mention apart from oko is the orgel parts can have lower volumes at all the sliderslide sound and whistles are kinda loud which doesn't feel great when you just wanna play the beautiful orgel :( Lowered the volume on the calm parts (parts without drums) from 60% to 50% - the idea's great but I don't really think I can do quieter than this because the contrast's not that big imo hehe~

Added Normal sampleset to (6) and (11) here (my bad, I missed this one out >_<) - I decided to keep (7) as is though if you don't mind as (if applied) it will be inconsistent with what I've done previously in 00:20:394 (6,7,1), 00:28:220 (6,7,1), and other similar parts...
02:17:296 (5) - would go with simpler shape this feels so out of place lol Deleted the 1st slider node here, should be better now. I'd personally like to keep the second half as is though as it fits with the song's sounds and (1)'s shape if you don't mind by the way hehe (:

normal hitnormal for triplet such as 00:40:040 (8) - can have a lower volume (30/40% should do the trick) to give more of a smooth kick plets rather than linear strong one right now

01:24:144 (4) - fix curve w
01:33:926 (4) - Just to keep that back and forth-like movement, ctrl+h and reposition

03:30:502 (2) - clap

normal

I agree with some people who said that this diff is too dense. Just by looking at it makes me feel veeeeeeeeeery crowded.
00:16:644 (1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,3,1,2,1,2,1,2,1) - Even in easy diff there should be a spreading movement. Just by selecting these notes, you can see that it's staying on one side of the monitor.
01:51:861 (3) - curve point 278,345 to make the curve more balanced and complement the next notes with arc-y movement
01:54:470 (1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,3,1,2,1,2,1,2,1) - again, spread more broad movement rather than stuck in one side of the monitor

mostly minor stuffs since I'm used with your mapping ideology so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I agree with some people who said that this diff is too dense. Just by looking at it makes me feel veeeeeeeeeery crowded. Yes, I'll be embedding my thoughts below
00:16:644 (1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,3,1,2,1,2,1,2,1) - Even in easy diff there should be a spreading movement. Just by selecting these notes, you can see that it's staying on one side of the monitor.

01:54:470 (1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,3,1,2,1,2,1,2,1) - again, spread more broad movement rather than stuck in one side of the monitor Regarding this (and 00:16:644 (1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,3,1,2,1,2,1,2,1) - as well), I'm very much aware of it but I don't think I can really do anything over there considering that's the most plausible rhythm of choice (repeating 3/2 slider -> circle -> repeating 3/2 slider -> circle -> etc) and that rhythm doesn't really allow spatial flexibility in all fairness :3

mostly minor stuffs since I'm used with your mapping ideology so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks for the mod! Well, I'm already used to your mapping ideology as well so when I modded your map earlier I find it's very much a comfortable map to mod as well (*^-^)

---

Regarding the Easy :

First of all, I'm feeling really grateful (although I'm really confused at the same time as well) that you guys suddenly came up to check my map without any prior notice (*^-^) As I said to Okorin yesterday in Discord, I mapped the Normal with the intention for it to be the lowest difficulty in the set - I was very sure back then that the highest allowed SR for the lowest diff is still 2.5* as it was in the past (if my memory serves me right) until I read the most recent RC which requires a mapset to have a difficulty easier than 2* o.o

Back then I've actually tried to map the Easy with a simpler rhythm but I don't really think the map would be interesting enough if it's made that way really considering that the song itself is 3/4 and doesn't really have a typical 1/2 or 1/1 rhythm I can really follow (if I had to make the rhythm be feasibly any simpler the map will end in an monotonous and seemingly never-ending barrage of 1/1 sliders over another really) hence I made it like that~

Having mapped this myself I can see you guys' points though (especially that the Easy feels very much like a Normal) - As the current Normal is AR6 already (thanks to Okorin's mod) I'm considering to rename the Easy into Normal (with AR5 instead of 4 to increase the readability) and the Normal into Advanced or something similar, I think it should serve the purpose but I'll be gathering some opinions on this first (:

Thank you very much once again, I'll catch up again to you guys later on~

that doesnt fix the easy being harder to interpret than the normal

Ah, well, okay then... I'll get to rework the Easy soon enough (hopefully I can simplify the rhythm and fix the issue though) - thank you once more Okorin~

(to other modders who still wants to mod this map : mods are always welcomed ofc, but please keep in mind that the Easy will soon undergo a heavy rework hehe :3)

EDIT : The Easy should be fine (and should play more as a proper Easy) now!~

as requested by Niva

i don't think Easy should have variative DS, but maybe i'm just outdated. so i'm going to mod thinking that DS now can be variative on Easy.

00:14:687 (3) - looks bad tbh, a quick way to fix it is to CTRL+H it

00:28:383 (1) - this slider looks janky and out of place imo
00:32:296 - i know it's an easy, but this undermapping is hurting me :(
00:45:991 (2) - flow feels kinda extreme here
00:56:752 (2) - slider looks kinda out of place, how about making some fancy slider like this?
01:01:644 (2) - same issue as 00:22:513
01:03:926 - this feels undermapped too :(
01:07:513 - ^
01:23:165 - doing this kind of undermap on a kiai especially feels wrong. T_T
01:29:687 - since you're using the next white tick for slider, why not use a circle here? it's nice for emphasis :D
01:46:970 - empty rhythm that could be used :)
01:34:905 (1) - could blanket with here 01:32:948 (3) - flow's better too
02:06:209 (1) - wave slider going vertical looks weeeeiirdd


03:30:665 - could fill this rhythm, kinda empty for a high intensity sounds

02:14:035 (1) - 02:31:644 (2) - 00:22:513 (2,3,1) - 02:39:470 (2,3) - and for some others
although it's not really breaking the RC, the positioning of this patterns feels weird to look and play, i know it will be hard to change some of this, i'm just saying just to be safe, it's better too change it :)

even though there's a few bad spot here and there, overall this map is solidly made, with nice geometry and cool flow :D
good luck~

i don't think Easy should have variative DS, but maybe i'm just outdated. so i'm going to mod thinking that DS now can be variative on Easy. Indeed it is in most cases, but this falls under the "clearly different from spacing used for different rhythms" written in the RC. I used this spacing pattern as for me using 0.8x for 1/2 feels too cramped - the way the 0.8x and 1.0x-s are used are very much consistent and intuitive/beginner-friendly though so it shouldn't be a problem xD

00:14:687 (3) - looks bad tbh, a quick way to fix it is to CTRL+H it This is intentional. There are many places in which I applied this kind of flow as well actually, such as in 01:28:057 (2) - where I curved it to the direction opposite of (1) instead of following (1)'s direction~

00:28:383 (1) - this slider looks janky and out of place imo Added a slight curve on it, should be better now hopefully
00:32:296 - i know it's an easy, but this undermapping is hurting me :( Yes this is intentional as it also follows the 1/1 tick~
00:45:991 (2) - flow feels kinda extreme here Reduced (3)'s height
00:56:752 (2) - slider looks kinda out of place, how about making some fancy slider like this? It's intentional as this slider shape could bring the flow from the previous (1) while keeping the linearity with the next (3,1). I adjusted the angle on this one though~
01:01:644 (2) - same issue as 00:22:513 Yet again this is intentional. I adjusted the curvature so it'll hopefully more equal to (3) now for a better flow though (:
01:03:926 - this feels undermapped too :(
01:07:513 - ^ Regarding these two I don't really think it's wise to put a barrage of sliders for beginners there, so I put on a break there with a circle (:
01:23:165 - doing this kind of undermap on a kiai especially feels wrong. T_T Turned this into a slider to suit the other kiai's beginnings
01:29:687 - since you're using the next white tick for slider, why not use a circle here? it's nice for emphasis :D The idea here is to emphasize the following drums actually hehe xD
01:46:970 - empty rhythm that could be used :) Hmm, it's not mapped elsewhere though (01:30:991 (1) -, 03:24:470 (1) -, etc) o.o
01:34:905 (1) - could blanket with here 01:32:948 (3) - flow's better too Hmm, I get the idea, but in order to blanket this I have to make (3)'s curve similar to 03:00:991 (1,2) though, in which it just simply don't give a good flow with the previous 01:30:991 (1,2) - here ._.
02:06:209 (1) - wave slider going vertical looks weeeeiirdd Yet again this is intentional. I made this slider less wavy though so that it would (hopefully) flow more naturally here~


03:30:665 - could fill this rhythm, kinda empty for a high intensity sounds Hmm, yes, this would be nice as there are no drum sequences following it

02:14:035 (1) - 02:31:644 (2) - 00:22:513 (2,3,1) - 02:39:470 (2,3) - and for some others
although it's not really breaking the RC, the positioning of this patterns feels weird to look and play, i know it will be hard to change some of this, i'm just saying just to be safe, it's better too change it :) See below.

even though there's a few bad spot here and there, overall this map is solidly made, with nice geometry and cool flow :D Talked to Perklone himself via IRC, and since the "bad spots" you're mentioning are referring to "objects that are placed close to the edge" than it shouldn't be a problem at all really - the RC only states that "hit objects must never be off-screen" (not "hit objects should stay near the center") so as long as it stays in the playfield it should be fine xD

good luck~ Thank you!
Thank you Perklone for the mod~

WELCOME BACK NIVA

Also some modding for you as per request


Easy
tbh, I can't point anything in here, looks so clean for me, I envy you that you can make a beautiful Easy diff like this.
But here have some suggestion, may this help you

01:03:600 (1,1) - give a break between these two points, maybe? This song and this diff si relaxing, this will improve the enjoyment of the song in my opinion. Also, as a newbie I want some break too when playing long duration beatmap

02:10:122 (1,1) - same as above

02:41:426 (1,1) - same as above

That's all from me
GOOD LUCK

Also some modding for you as per request


Easy
tbh, I can't point anything in here, looks so clean for me, I envy you that you can make a beautiful Easy diff like this.
But here have some suggestion, may this help you

02:41:426 (1,1) - same as above Hmm, I see what you're suggesting here, but since the other diffs have that part mapped into it I don't really think leaving the Easy with a break would be the best idea there. I do managed to give some part a more relaxing and less rigid flow though (by using sliders and such), most notably on the 02:12:078 xD

That's all from me
GOOD LUCK
Thanks for the mod Kasuga!~
