@Net0 sure, i'll find you later for an irc mod.
@Veridian yeah, that was accurate xD. appreciate your support
@Ataraxia thank you ^^. btw i barely made changes since you modded last time so no need to recheck my map, but thanks.
@DJPop interesting, i'll consider this the 2nd option, thanks

since no one is paying attention to what i say, at least pay attention to what God-tier mappers and former MAT/BAT have to say
bolded the most relevant parts of the chat logs
for those who don't know, MAT was the equivalent to the tier 1 BN (could only bubble maps, not rank them, they all had different tone of pink color name)
BAT was the equivalent to the tier 2 BN (could do what the MAT's did, and also rank maps, they all had different tone of red color name)
and at some point the status of a BAT was basically the same as a QAT+GMT, basically admins that also handle beatmap rank process
the standards for joining MAT and BAT were much higher than what it is nowadays to join the BN. so it's safe to assume that if the veterans were still around handling beatmap ranking process, many of the current members of the BN would not even be accepted as BN...
the only ones that never been part of the MAT or BAT are Saten and val0108, but they are both god tier mappers, they just were not interested in handling beatmap ranking process.
spboxer3 still prefer SB'ed sounds but my map is still worth a bubble for him. everyone else seems to be totally okay with tick rate 4
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Until this day, slider tick rate has been used in different ways depending on the map/mapper's needs. for exemple, mappers often use them to make slider changes more noticeable, especially when they try to make a slider with higher length to have similar size as a shorter length slider, similar to new combo for SV changes.
There is also some mappers who simply don't like slider ticks, so in the past, when it was available, they ranked their maps with slider tick rate 0.5 making slider ticks appear only after two beats instead of every 1/1 beat with str1.
i wish i could find more beatmaps using str above 2 and custom slider ticks but unfortunately they are very difficult find because tick rate is not a setting that can be searched like "od=9" "ar=10" (but that also shows how "irrelevant" this setting is, changing the AR OD CS HP by 1 have much more significant impact on gameplay than changing the slider tick rate)
so let's just imagine a map that has 1/3 rhythm, the "correct" slider tick rate would be 3, right?
WRONG .... most of the 1/3 songs don't have that many sounds landing on 1/3 ticks, usually only 40%~70% of the song supports str3 but no one complains about str3 if the mapper decides to use str3. music using 1/3 rhythm are minority, so if they can't use str3 on songs using 1/3 rhythm then where are they going to use? meanwhile, music with 1/4 rhythm are majority, but people usually go for 1/1 because they don't like slider ticks, or because they don't want slider ticks for the parts without 1/4 sounds (even knowing that silencing slider ticks are rankeable, they might just not want to have to mess with green lines), or they simply would want to map the parts where the slider ticks could be used.
https://osu.ppy.sh/s/14624 that James map i showed to everyone is a good exemple. str3 was used only in normal, because he needed it there, and decided to mess with green lines to silence the parts that he didn't want to hear the ticks. James did not used str3 on the harder difficulty, even knowing that it was very fitting, the sounds he thought that are important were mapped normally, and instead, he used slider tick rate 0,5?
He simply don't like slider ticks, only used for normal because it was necessary and he knew that slider tick rate is to be used according to his own needs.
https://osu.ppy.sh/b/81060 why didn't DJPop used slider tick rate 3 on his normal? if slider tick rate is something that's supposed to be fitting the song then he might have made a mistake on his normal or on the harder diffs? and what about the max combo? normal have much smaller max combo than the higher diffs, max combo is an issue, right? NO... if he decided that str1 is more fitting for his normal then taking the combo in consideration would be stupid.
btw i have nothing but respect for DJPop and Winter Bells is my favorite Christmas map of all times, and one of my favorites maps in general, but to be honest, when i think about it, str3 doesn't really sounds that great for the most part of the song, he and CDFA needed str3 for their custom hitsounds on "Hard" and "CDFA's difficulty" but the insane doesn't have the same spots with custom slider ticks, he could have used slider tick rate 1 if he wanted, but he didn't so it's fine.
Slider tick rate 0,5 was removed from the editor ages ago, now it can only be activated editing the .osu file, so using str0,5 is discouraged (or unrankeable?) but slider tick rate 4 and 3 are still usable in the editor, that means higher tick rate is not discouraged.
slider tick rate can not be changed, we can only use one slider tick rate per difficulty, and it's not like it was not a feature that was requested before t/47451&start=0
viewtopic.php?f=30&t=4694&hilit=slider+tick+rate
it's been 9 years....if the Developers wanted to add this feature then it would be added already. why do you think that silencing slider ticks is rankeable?
conclusion: slider tick rate can be whatever the map/mapper needs/wants as long as it makes at least one little bit of sense.
i'm not using slider tick rate 4 because i think it's superior to the other tick rates, it's just because it's necessary.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
a lot of people were trying to convince me that sb'ed sounds are superior to slider tick hitsouds, and some people even mock me for relying so much on the ranking criteria. if the ranking criteria is not important, then why is the staff wasting their time improving it constantly?
yes, i know it's relatively easy to make a rankeable mapset, the ranking criteria is actually very easy to be followed. but why the staff keep it so easy to be followed? because it's to force mappers to keep using the "fundamentals" while not limiting their creativity.
limiting creativity is exactly what's happening here.
by "creativity" i don't mean that what i'm doing is innovative, james and djpop already did that before me, and probably a lot more people did that too, but this is still something that is at least very unusual for nowadays, that is clearly rankeable, and i did it very well. but instead of being praised for making good use of an unusual mapping technique, i'm only getting negative comments and being suggested to only do "more of the same".
@Veridian yeah, that was accurate xD. appreciate your support
@Ataraxia thank you ^^. btw i barely made changes since you modded last time so no need to recheck my map, but thanks.

2017-11-19 14:06 Saten: yeah since you started on a blue tick

2017-11-19 14:08 Saten: wouldn't work with 2
2017-11-19 14:08 pimpG: yup
2017-11-19 14:08 pimpG: i have 7 nominators against me using tick rate 4
2017-11-19 14:09 Saten: tbh it's the map creator that should decide that
2017-11-19 14:09 pimpG: yeah, they suggest me to use storyboarded hitsounds instead
2017-11-19 14:09 Saten: but it would be a different story if it was 200+bpm with tickrate 4
2017-11-19 14:09 Saten: oh god no

2017-11-19 14:10 pimpG: i'm glad you agree with me
2017-11-19 14:11 pimpG: are you okay with me posting this chat log in the thread later?
2017-11-19 14:11 pimpG: among other experienced mapper's chat logs about the same thing
2017-11-19 14:11 Saten: sure
2017-11-19 14:11 pimpG: thank you, your feedback will surely make a difference
2017-11-19 14:11 Saten: btw did you ask any QATs too?
2017-11-19 14:12 pimpG: okorin
2017-11-19 14:12 pimpG: and he disagree with me
2017-11-19 14:12 pimpG: the other qat's barely get online, and they never reply
2017-11-19 14:12 Saten: imma slap him
2017-11-19 14:12 pimpG: lol
2017-11-19 14:12 pimpG: he deserves that for sure
2017-11-19 14:13 pimpG: thank you for offering me your opinion, have a wonderful day

2017-11-16 18:24 Saten: hi
2017-11-16 18:25 pimpG: i would like to get opinions from veteran mappers, on something
2017-11-16 18:25 pimpG: people who won't be biased and stuff
2017-11-16 18:25 pimpG: are you busy?
2017-11-16 18:26 Saten: yeah kinda

2017-11-19 13:46 pimpG: i would like to get opinions from experienced mappers on something very specific in my map

2017-11-19 13:52 pimpG: xD
2017-11-19 13:55 pimpG: i got disconnected again, did you said something
2017-11-19 13:56 Saten: rip
2017-11-19 13:56 pimpG: so what's your thoughts on the slider tick hitsounding?
2017-11-19 13:56 Saten: I don't mind such hitsounding, but the offset is kinda off in general
2017-11-19 13:57 Saten: I've done it myself
2017-11-19 13:57 pimpG: whoa
2017-11-19 13:57 pimpG: plese show me some exemples
2017-11-19 13:57 pimpG: i might need them
2017-11-19 13:59 Saten: sec
2017-11-19 13:59 Saten: can't remember which I used it in
2017-11-19 13:59 Saten: most likely in easier difficulies
2017-11-19 14:01 Saten: I used it slightly in this one

2017-11-19 14:04 Saten: this as well
2017-11-19 14:04 Saten: hm ok
2017-11-19 14:05 pimpG: most of the slider ticks are on 1/2, so slider tick rate 2 was good enough for them
2017-11-19 14:05 pimpG: 01:17:294 (2) - but there is 11 sliders like this one, that requires slider tick rate 4
2017-11-19 14:06 Saten: yeah since you started on a blue tick
2017-11-19 14:07 pimpG: so what do you think about it?
2017-11-19 14:08 Saten: I think it's necessary
2017-11-19 14:08 Saten: I mean 01:45:135 (3) -
2017-11-19 14:08 Saten: wouldn't work with 2
2017-11-19 14:08 pimpG: yup
2017-11-19 14:08 pimpG: i have 7 nominators against me using tick rate 4
2017-11-19 14:09 Saten: tbh it's the map creator that should decide that
2017-11-19 14:09 pimpG: yeah, they suggest me to use storyboarded hitsounds instead
2017-11-19 14:09 Saten: but it would be a different story if it was 200+bpm with tickrate 4
2017-11-19 14:09 Saten: oh god no
2017-11-19 14:10 pimpG: the ranking criteria is on my side, but they are ignoring all what i say
2017-11-19 14:10 Saten: you can't disable storyboard sounds
2017-11-19 14:10 pimpG: yeah
2017-11-19 14:10 Saten: afaik
2017-11-19 14:10 Saten: even if you miss they will play
2017-11-19 14:10 pimpG: the taiko convert players would be disgusted
2017-11-19 14:10 Saten: which makes it even more awkward
2017-11-19 14:10 Saten: yup
2017-11-19 14:10 pimpG: i'm glad you agree with me

21:24 pimpG: tipo, gostaria de usar o log pra postar, se vc deixar
21:25 Mismagius: ok
21:25 Mismagius: np
21:25 pimpG: okay let's check a map first
21:25 *pimpG is editing [https://osu.ppy.sh/b/55769 Caramell - Ooa Hela Natten (Speedycake Remix) [Normal]]
21:26 pimpG: what do you think about those slider tick hitsounds
21:26 *Mismagius is editing [https://osu.ppy.sh/b/55769 Caramell - Ooa Hela Natten (Speedycake Remix) [Normal]]
21:26 Mismagius: good when used right and only in lower difficulties imo
21:27 pimpG: right
21:27 Mismagius: it must be consistent rhythm and shouldnt really put the player off
21:27 pimpG: i used a similar idea on my insane
21:27 Mismagius: 01:21:331 (1,2,3) - e.g. rhythm gets a bit confusing here because of it
21:27 *pimpG is editing [https://osu.ppy.sh/b/1031280 3L - Macrophylla Parasol [Marathon]]
21:28 pimpG: i'm getting a lot of hate for those slider tick sounds i'm using
21:28 *Mismagius is editing [https://osu.ppy.sh/b/1031280 3L - Macrophylla Parasol [Marathon]]
21:29 pimpG: my rhythms are not simplified, i just mapped to the vocals mostly
21:29 pimpG: and have custom hitsounds to keep consistency
21:30 Mismagius: seems alright since the rhythm you're using with the slidertick-based hitsounds works as a secondary rhythm which is completely constant and foreseeable by the player. maybe it's not as comfortable but that's why it works as a gimmick
21:31 pimpG: if i mapped all of the sounds as clickable notes, my map would be no different from those generic stuff from nowadays
21:31 pimpG: yup
21:31 Mismagius: yep, the gimmick in the map is that your rhythm isn't a constant 1/2 based on strong notes
21:31 pimpG: now something more specific
21:31 Mismagius: works well enough
21:31 Mismagius: as long as you don't use SB'd hitsounds it should be fine
21:32 pimpG: that's what i'm being suggested, actually
21:32 pimpG: because
21:32 pimpG: 01:17:294 (2) -
21:32 pimpG: people are against me using slider tick rate 4
21:32 pimpG: i need slide tick rate 4 for notes like this one
21:33 Mismagius: tick rate doesn't even make a difference in the map lol, why be against it if it's basically worthless and only affects gameplay in a way where it forces people to be more consistent when aiming a slider..
21:33 Mismagius: it's just forcing the map to be "consistent" with the ones in the ranked section and killing variation this way
21:34 pimpG: so you agree with me that tick rate 4 is okay if i simply need it, right?
21:34 pimpG: they are silenced in the parts that they are not necessary
21:35 pimpG: there is 11 sliders that needs tick rate 4
21:35 pimpG: they want me to use tick rate 2 and use storyboarded sounds for those that needs tick rate 4
21:36 Mismagius: dude everything is okay as long as it's rankable lol map quality is subjective especially talking about gimmicky mapping styles like this one
21:36 Mismagius: as long as you have an argument to keep them then there's no issue
21:36 Mismagius: there's no thing as "this map would be objectively better without tick 4"
21:36 Mismagius: and any BN who says otherwise might just be too far up their own ass
21:36 pimpG: i have like 10 nominators againt me
21:37 pimpG: i feel like if i get a bubble they will want to veto
21:37 Mismagius: ye ppl like (name removed from chat log) and (name removed from chat log) who do everything to keep mapping meta the way they want it to be
21:37 Mismagius: not really interested in their opinion tbh
21:37 pimpG: but i want my stuff ranked T.T
21:37 pimpG: so i'm collecting experienced mapper's opinions
21:38 Mismagius: might be easier to get your map loved atm since ppl are gatekeeping ranked section like that xd
21:38 Mismagius: but well, i cant say much in the matter aside from the fact i dont see anything wrong with the map
21:38 pimpG: thanks, i'm glad you agree with me
21:39 pimpG: slider tick rate is nothing but a setting to be adjusted to fit the mapper's needs
21:39 pimpG: k this should be enough, hope you have a nice week
21:39 Mismagius: well, gl wit hthat

2017-11-20 19:06 pimpG: hello
2017-11-20 19:08 pimpG: i'm looking for opinions from experienced mappers (who think for themselves rather than being biased by other's opinions) on something very specific in my map
2017-11-20 19:08 pimpG: are you busy?
2017-11-20 19:12 -kevincela-: unfortunately i have stuff to do now, i think i'll be free tomorrow or the day after tomorrow
2017-11-20 19:12 pimpG: alright, thank you
2017-11-23 17:26 pimpG: hi
2017-11-23 17:26 -kevincela-: oh hey, i remember you were asking me about that opinion
2017-11-23 17:26 pimpG: are you busy today?
2017-11-23 17:27 -kevincela-: i can give a quick look after i'm done mapping this bit :p
2017-11-23 17:27 pimpG: btw sorry about your friend, but he asked for it
2017-11-23 17:27 pimpG: (link was removed from the chat log)
2017-11-23 17:28 pimpG: sure, i'm free for a few hours
2017-11-23 17:28 -kevincela-: hmm?
2017-11-23 17:28 -kevincela-: i don't know this guy lol
2017-11-23 17:29 pimpG: this line he sent me is the same i sent you like 5 minutes before his random pm
2017-11-23 17:29 -kevincela-: oh
2017-11-23 17:29 pimpG: but alright
2017-11-23 17:30 -kevincela-: no idea how he did that, but i closed osu soon after talking with you
2017-11-23 17:31 pimpG: maybe he found a way to stalk your logs xD
2017-11-23 17:35 -kevincela-: ok i'm done
2017-11-23 17:35 -kevincela-: what did you want me to look into?

2017-11-23 17:36 pimpG: normal diff
2017-11-23 17:37 pimpG: what do you think about the custom slider tick hitsounding?
2017-11-23 17:37 -kevincela-: oki
2017-11-23 17:38 -kevincela-: it's okay
2017-11-23 17:38 -kevincela-: i also do that some times
2017-11-23 17:38 pimpG: cool
2017-11-23 17:38 pimpG: my map has similar usage, i think
2017-11-23 17:38 pimpG: ACTION is editing [https://osu.ppy.sh/b/1031280 3L - Macrophylla Parasol [Marathon]]
2017-11-23 17:40 pimpG: slider tick rate 2 worked for the most part of my map
2017-11-23 17:40 pimpG: 01:17:294 (2) - but there is 11 sliders like this one requiring slider tick rate 4 to have enough ticks
2017-11-23 17:41 -kevincela-: hmm
2017-11-23 17:42 pimpG: the slider ticks are silenced where i don't need them, and this is rankeable
2017-11-23 17:42 -kevincela-: i don't think it's an issue personally
2017-11-23 17:43 pimpG: there is 7 BN's against me using tick rate 4
2017-11-23 17:43 pimpG: they want me to use SB'ed hitsounds instead
2017-11-23 17:43 pimpG: but i hate this idea
2017-11-23 17:44 -kevincela-: tbh i don't see much wrong with it
2017-11-23 17:44 pimpG: yeah
2017-11-23 17:44 -kevincela-: it looks strange, but that's it
2017-11-23 17:44 pimpG: most veteran mappers are fine with it
2017-11-23 17:44 -kevincela-: slider ticks can be silenced without any problems, unlike actual beats
2017-11-23 17:45 -kevincela-: they don't have to necessarily represent a beat in the same way a note does imo
2017-11-23 17:45 pimpG: exactly
2017-11-23 17:45 pimpG: i'm going to post this chat log in the thread eventually, among other veteran mappers opinions
2017-11-23 17:46 -kevincela-: yeah, sure
2017-11-23 17:46 pimpG: is this ok?
2017-11-23 17:46 -kevincela-: np
2017-11-23 17:46 pimpG: nice, thank you
2017-11-23 17:46 -kevincela-: i don't really get this concept that every slider tick has to match the song lol
2017-11-23 17:47 pimpG: they just complain because it's unusual, the new mappers don't know how to deal with unusual ideas
2017-11-23 17:48 pimpG: especially when it's about hitsounding, that most mappers really don't care
2017-11-23 17:49 -kevincela-: tbh the maps that make good use of EVERY tick regarding hitsounding are very few

2017-11-23 17:50 -kevincela-: hmm, i don't really know
2017-11-23 17:50 pimpG: so far i only have that james map to show as exemple
2017-11-23 17:53 pimpG: oh, he changed the bpm to make bette use of the slider ticks?
2017-11-23 17:53 pimpG: better
2017-11-23 17:53 -kevincela-: yeah
2017-11-23 17:54 -kevincela-: and that's also the reason why the map couldn't be ranked back then
2017-11-23 17:54 pimpG: it's not his fault that the tick rate can't be changed : /
2017-11-23 17:54 pimpG: same for me
2017-11-23 17:54 -kevincela-: yep
2017-11-23 17:55 pimpG: it actually made it to ranked section
2017-11-23 17:56 pimpG: literaly heart breaking
2017-11-23 17:56 -kevincela-: yeah
2017-11-23 17:56 -kevincela-:
2017-11-20 19:08 pimpG: i'm looking for opinions from experienced mappers (who think for themselves rather than being biased by other's opinions) on something very specific in my map
2017-11-20 19:08 pimpG: are you busy?
2017-11-20 19:12 -kevincela-: unfortunately i have stuff to do now, i think i'll be free tomorrow or the day after tomorrow
2017-11-20 19:12 pimpG: alright, thank you
2017-11-23 17:26 pimpG: hi
2017-11-23 17:26 -kevincela-: oh hey, i remember you were asking me about that opinion
2017-11-23 17:26 pimpG: are you busy today?
2017-11-23 17:27 -kevincela-: i can give a quick look after i'm done mapping this bit :p
2017-11-23 17:27 pimpG: btw sorry about your friend, but he asked for it
2017-11-23 17:27 pimpG: (link was removed from the chat log)
2017-11-23 17:28 pimpG: sure, i'm free for a few hours
2017-11-23 17:28 -kevincela-: hmm?
2017-11-23 17:28 -kevincela-: i don't know this guy lol
2017-11-23 17:29 pimpG: this line he sent me is the same i sent you like 5 minutes before his random pm
2017-11-23 17:29 -kevincela-: oh
2017-11-23 17:29 pimpG: but alright
2017-11-23 17:30 -kevincela-: no idea how he did that, but i closed osu soon after talking with you
2017-11-23 17:31 pimpG: maybe he found a way to stalk your logs xD
2017-11-23 17:35 -kevincela-: ok i'm done
2017-11-23 17:35 -kevincela-: what did you want me to look into?
2017-11-23 17:36 pimpG: lets quickly check another map just for reference

2017-11-23 17:36 pimpG: normal diff
2017-11-23 17:37 pimpG: what do you think about the custom slider tick hitsounding?
2017-11-23 17:37 -kevincela-: oki
2017-11-23 17:38 -kevincela-: it's okay
2017-11-23 17:38 -kevincela-: i also do that some times
2017-11-23 17:38 pimpG: cool
2017-11-23 17:38 pimpG: my map has similar usage, i think

2017-11-23 17:40 pimpG: slider tick rate 2 worked for the most part of my map
2017-11-23 17:40 pimpG: 01:17:294 (2) - but there is 11 sliders like this one requiring slider tick rate 4 to have enough ticks
2017-11-23 17:41 -kevincela-: hmm
2017-11-23 17:42 pimpG: the slider ticks are silenced where i don't need them, and this is rankeable
2017-11-23 17:42 -kevincela-: i don't think it's an issue personally
2017-11-23 17:43 pimpG: there is 7 BN's against me using tick rate 4
2017-11-23 17:43 pimpG: they want me to use SB'ed hitsounds instead
2017-11-23 17:43 pimpG: but i hate this idea
2017-11-23 17:44 -kevincela-: tbh i don't see much wrong with it
2017-11-23 17:44 pimpG: yeah
2017-11-23 17:44 -kevincela-: it looks strange, but that's it
2017-11-23 17:44 pimpG: most veteran mappers are fine with it
2017-11-23 17:44 -kevincela-: slider ticks can be silenced without any problems, unlike actual beats
2017-11-23 17:45 -kevincela-: they don't have to necessarily represent a beat in the same way a note does imo
2017-11-23 17:45 pimpG: exactly
2017-11-23 17:45 pimpG: i'm going to post this chat log in the thread eventually, among other veteran mappers opinions
2017-11-23 17:46 -kevincela-: yeah, sure
2017-11-23 17:46 pimpG: is this ok?
2017-11-23 17:46 -kevincela-: np
2017-11-23 17:46 pimpG: nice, thank you
2017-11-23 17:46 -kevincela-: i don't really get this concept that every slider tick has to match the song lol
2017-11-23 17:47 pimpG: they just complain because it's unusual, the new mappers don't know how to deal with unusual ideas
2017-11-23 17:48 pimpG: especially when it's about hitsounding, that most mappers really don't care
2017-11-23 17:49 -kevincela-: tbh the maps that make good use of EVERY tick regarding hitsounding are very few

2017-11-23 17:50 -kevincela-: hmm, i don't really know
2017-11-23 17:50 pimpG: so far i only have that james map to show as exemple
2017-11-23 17:53 pimpG: oh, he changed the bpm to make bette use of the slider ticks?
2017-11-23 17:53 pimpG: better
2017-11-23 17:53 -kevincela-: yeah
2017-11-23 17:54 -kevincela-: and that's also the reason why the map couldn't be ranked back then

2017-11-15 19:01 pimpG: hello
2017-11-15 19:05 pimpG: i would like to get opinions from experienced mappers
2017-11-15 19:06 pimpG: those who can think for themselves and are not going to be biased
2017-11-15 19:06 pimpG: are you busy?
2017-11-15 19:07 Stefan: Uh
2017-11-15 19:07 Stefan: Well, it'd be better if you ask me tomorrow
2017-11-15 19:07 Stefan: because I am extremly tired right now
2017-11-15 19:07 pimpG: sure, thank you
2017-11-15 19:08 Stefan: Btw, standard or taiko?
2017-11-15 19:08 pimpG: std
2017-11-15 19:23 Stefan: okay.
2017-11-15 19:23 Stefan: Gonna see for that later but I am going to bed now
2017-11-15 19:23 Stefan: gnight~
2017-11-16 17:30 pimpG: sup
2017-11-16 17:31 Stefan: hey hey
2017-11-16 17:32 pimpG: you used to be a bat, right?
2017-11-16 17:32 Stefan: Uh, well
2017-11-16 17:32 Stefan: I am a Beatmap Nominator atm so it's the same
2017-11-16 17:33 pimpG: but it was way more difficult to join bat
2017-11-16 17:34 pimpG: whatever, i trust on your skills more than the other nominators since you are a veteran
2017-11-16 17:34 pimpG: can we check something?
2017-11-16 17:35 Stefan: Uh sure.
2017-11-16 17:35 pimpG: lets see
2017-11-16 17:36 Stefan: gimme map
2017-11-16 17:36 pimpG: lets check a map 1st

2017-11-16 17:38 pimpG: what do you think about this hitsounding?
2017-11-16 17:39 pimpG: normal*
2017-11-16 17:40 Stefan: You mean the slider ticks?
2017-11-16 17:40 pimpG: yup
2017-11-16 17:40 Stefan: Well, it's a smart way to have them included despite of the difficulty level
2017-11-16 17:40 Stefan: but idk if that is acceptable in 2017, hafta check the RC for that.
2017-11-16 17:40 pimpG: i have an insane with similar concept
2017-11-16 17:41 Stefan: Hmm, then gimme a minute
2017-11-16 17:43 Stefan: Only thing that is important to consider is the following:
2017-11-16 17:43 Stefan: "Finally, you cannot silence both slider ticks and slider slides together."
2017-11-16 17:43 Stefan: This would apply for example at the beatmap you have sent.
2017-11-16 17:43 pimpG: yup, rankeability is not a problem
2017-11-16 17:44 pimpG: now my map
2017-11-16 17:44 Stefan: But except of that the idea can be used without problems.

2017-11-16 17:47 pimpG: 01:30:022 (8) - i have 11 sliders that requires slider tick rate 4
2017-11-16 17:47 pimpG: for hitsounding purposes
2017-11-16 17:48 pimpG: the slider ticks are silenced where i don't need them
2017-11-16 17:48 pimpG: but not the sliderslide, as you said
2017-11-16 17:49 Stefan: Well, the slider tick rate doesn't really matter much. It's rather a question of creativity for what you need it.
2017-11-16 17:50 pimpG: i have like 10 std nominators against me using tick rate 4
2017-11-16 17:50 Stefan: Objectively said, there is nothing wrong to use TR4 here
2017-11-16 17:50 Stefan: Oh
2017-11-16 17:50 pimpG: they want me to use storyboarded sounds instead ._.
2017-11-16 17:51 pimpG: kids nowadays...
2017-11-16 17:52 pimpG: so far no one of the veterans i asked for opinions disagree with me using tick rate 4
2017-11-16 17:55 pimpG: can i post this log on the thread once i get a lot of opinions?
2017-11-16 17:58 Stefan: Well, I have read the complete thread rn - just to understand the whole problem.
2017-11-16 17:58 pimpG: yeah, i'm the most arrogant and stubborn mapper, apparently
2017-11-16 17:59 Stefan: So from what I see people have a problem that TR4 is used because 11 sliders require it to work with the current setup.
2017-11-16 17:59 Stefan: And they recommed to use storyboarded hitsounds to get the same effect.
2017-11-16 18:00 pimpG: i explained the bad side effects that sb'ed sounds have
2017-11-16 18:00 pimpG: and much more
2017-11-16 18:00 Stefan: I haven't seen a proper reason why TR4 is bad per se.
2017-11-16 18:00 Stefan: Except "it doesn't fit".
2017-11-16 18:00 pimpG: to me it seems like they are all biased, just because me and okorin had a disagreement
2017-11-16 18:00 Stefan: Which is.. uh..
2017-11-16 18:02 Stefan: I mean, honestly I can imagine to use storyboarded hitsounds as alternative.
2017-11-16 18:02 Stefan: It's one way but I'd like to hear what's so bad about TR4 for your beatmap.
2017-11-16 18:02 pimpG: but silencing the slider tick is rankeable
2017-11-16 18:03 Stefan: It is.
2017-11-16 18:03 pimpG: so how often it's fitting does not matters
2017-11-16 18:03 pimpG: i need it i use it, that's it
2017-11-16 18:03 Stefan: Using TR4 is inconvenient but that's it.
2017-11-16 18:04 pimpG: as a taiko player
2017-11-16 18:04 Stefan: The map isn't even hard as it would result to many slider breaks
2017-11-16 18:04 pimpG: would you like to hear random hitsounds that are not part of taiko default sounds when you play my map in taiko?
2017-11-16 18:05 Stefan: Well, that are my thoughts why storyboarded hitsounds are partly an acceptable idea.
2017-11-16 18:05 pimpG: sb'ed hitsounds are treated like a "last option" in the ranking criteria
2017-11-16 18:06 Stefan: I believe it'd also make a difference if you prefer to play with your own hitsounds and then suddenly here the storyboarded one.
2017-11-16 18:06 pimpG: yeah, players with custom skins will hear them even on standard
2017-11-16 18:06 pimpG: i write that on the thread too
2017-11-16 18:07 pimpG: custom skin hitsounds*
2017-11-16 18:08 pimpG: "ignore beatmap's hitsounds" won't work. "disable storyboard" won't disable the sb'ed sounds
2017-11-16 18:14 Stefan: I posted in the thread.
2017-11-16 18:15 pimpG: oh thank you
2017-11-16 18:15 pimpG: this is better than posting the log but i didn't expect anyone to want to get involved
2017-11-16 18:16 Stefan: Well
2017-11-16 18:16 Stefan: All I want is a good reason why TR4 is bad
2017-11-16 18:16 Stefan: And nobody gave one so far.
2017-11-16 18:17 Stefan: I don't give a shit when people say it doesn't make sense or fit. lol
2017-11-16 18:17 pimpG: i considered everything, actually.
2017-11-16 18:17 Stefan: Fair enough.
2017-11-16 18:17 pimpG: it raises the combo from 1400 to 1800
2017-11-16 18:17 Stefan: However, you cannot really consider other modes (example with Taiko) since the map is designed for Standard, not for Taiko.
2017-11-16 18:18 Stefan: It's just an annotation you can mention.
2017-11-16 18:18 Stefan: But that's it.
2017-11-16 18:18 pimpG: yeah i expected that treadment for that annotation
2017-11-16 18:18 pimpG: but it's real and can be avoided
2017-11-16 18:18 pimpG: the way i did
2017-11-16 18:20 pimpG: do you have anyone to recomend me to get opinions?
2017-11-16 18:22 pimpG: for now i asked chewin, blue dragon, gabe, you, planning to ask val0108, djpop, toy, hollow wings, saten and whoever shows up randomly
2017-11-16 18:22 Stefan: Uh, not really.
2017-11-16 18:23 pimpG: i see
2017-11-16 18:23 pimpG: but i'm very thankful for your support anyway
2017-11-16 18:25 Stefan: np!
2017-11-15 19:05 pimpG: i would like to get opinions from experienced mappers
2017-11-15 19:06 pimpG: those who can think for themselves and are not going to be biased
2017-11-15 19:06 pimpG: are you busy?
2017-11-15 19:07 Stefan: Uh
2017-11-15 19:07 Stefan: Well, it'd be better if you ask me tomorrow
2017-11-15 19:07 Stefan: because I am extremly tired right now
2017-11-15 19:07 pimpG: sure, thank you
2017-11-15 19:08 Stefan: Btw, standard or taiko?
2017-11-15 19:08 pimpG: std
2017-11-15 19:23 Stefan: okay.
2017-11-15 19:23 Stefan: Gonna see for that later but I am going to bed now
2017-11-15 19:23 Stefan: gnight~
2017-11-16 17:30 pimpG: sup
2017-11-16 17:31 Stefan: hey hey
2017-11-16 17:32 pimpG: you used to be a bat, right?
2017-11-16 17:32 Stefan: Uh, well
2017-11-16 17:32 Stefan: I am a Beatmap Nominator atm so it's the same
2017-11-16 17:33 pimpG: but it was way more difficult to join bat
2017-11-16 17:34 pimpG: whatever, i trust on your skills more than the other nominators since you are a veteran
2017-11-16 17:34 pimpG: can we check something?
2017-11-16 17:35 Stefan: Uh sure.
2017-11-16 17:35 pimpG: lets see
2017-11-16 17:36 Stefan: gimme map
2017-11-16 17:36 pimpG: lets check a map 1st
2017-11-16 17:36 pimpG: not mine

2017-11-16 17:38 pimpG: 00:31:808 (1) -
2017-11-16 17:38 pimpG: what do you think about this hitsounding?
2017-11-16 17:39 pimpG: normal*
2017-11-16 17:40 Stefan: You mean the slider ticks?
2017-11-16 17:40 pimpG: yup
2017-11-16 17:40 Stefan: Well, it's a smart way to have them included despite of the difficulty level
2017-11-16 17:40 Stefan: but idk if that is acceptable in 2017, hafta check the RC for that.
2017-11-16 17:40 pimpG: i have an insane with similar concept
2017-11-16 17:41 Stefan: Hmm, then gimme a minute
2017-11-16 17:43 Stefan: Only thing that is important to consider is the following:
2017-11-16 17:43 Stefan: "Finally, you cannot silence both slider ticks and slider slides together."
2017-11-16 17:43 Stefan: This would apply for example at the beatmap you have sent.
2017-11-16 17:43 pimpG: yup, rankeability is not a problem
2017-11-16 17:44 pimpG: now my map
2017-11-16 17:44 Stefan: But except of that the idea can be used without problems.

2017-11-16 17:47 pimpG: 01:30:022 (8) - i have 11 sliders that requires slider tick rate 4
2017-11-16 17:47 pimpG: for hitsounding purposes
2017-11-16 17:48 pimpG: the slider ticks are silenced where i don't need them
2017-11-16 17:48 pimpG: but not the sliderslide, as you said
2017-11-16 17:49 Stefan: Well, the slider tick rate doesn't really matter much. It's rather a question of creativity for what you need it.
2017-11-16 17:50 pimpG: i have like 10 std nominators against me using tick rate 4
2017-11-16 17:50 Stefan: Objectively said, there is nothing wrong to use TR4 here
2017-11-16 17:50 Stefan: Oh
2017-11-16 17:50 pimpG: they want me to use storyboarded sounds instead ._.
2017-11-16 17:51 pimpG: kids nowadays...
2017-11-16 17:52 pimpG: so far no one of the veterans i asked for opinions disagree with me using tick rate 4
2017-11-16 17:55 pimpG: can i post this log on the thread once i get a lot of opinions?
2017-11-16 17:58 Stefan: Well, I have read the complete thread rn - just to understand the whole problem.
2017-11-16 17:58 pimpG: yeah, i'm the most arrogant and stubborn mapper, apparently
2017-11-16 17:59 Stefan: So from what I see people have a problem that TR4 is used because 11 sliders require it to work with the current setup.
2017-11-16 17:59 Stefan: And they recommed to use storyboarded hitsounds to get the same effect.
2017-11-16 18:00 pimpG: i explained the bad side effects that sb'ed sounds have
2017-11-16 18:00 pimpG: and much more
2017-11-16 18:00 Stefan: I haven't seen a proper reason why TR4 is bad per se.
2017-11-16 18:00 Stefan: Except "it doesn't fit".
2017-11-16 18:00 pimpG: to me it seems like they are all biased, just because me and okorin had a disagreement
2017-11-16 18:00 Stefan: Which is.. uh..
2017-11-16 18:02 Stefan: I mean, honestly I can imagine to use storyboarded hitsounds as alternative.
2017-11-16 18:02 Stefan: It's one way but I'd like to hear what's so bad about TR4 for your beatmap.
2017-11-16 18:02 pimpG: but silencing the slider tick is rankeable
2017-11-16 18:03 Stefan: It is.
2017-11-16 18:03 pimpG: so how often it's fitting does not matters
2017-11-16 18:03 pimpG: i need it i use it, that's it
2017-11-16 18:03 Stefan: Using TR4 is inconvenient but that's it.
2017-11-16 18:04 pimpG: as a taiko player
2017-11-16 18:04 Stefan: The map isn't even hard as it would result to many slider breaks
2017-11-16 18:04 pimpG: would you like to hear random hitsounds that are not part of taiko default sounds when you play my map in taiko?
2017-11-16 18:05 Stefan: Well, that are my thoughts why storyboarded hitsounds are partly an acceptable idea.
2017-11-16 18:05 pimpG: sb'ed hitsounds are treated like a "last option" in the ranking criteria
2017-11-16 18:06 Stefan: I believe it'd also make a difference if you prefer to play with your own hitsounds and then suddenly here the storyboarded one.
2017-11-16 18:06 pimpG: yeah, players with custom skins will hear them even on standard
2017-11-16 18:06 pimpG: i write that on the thread too
2017-11-16 18:07 pimpG: custom skin hitsounds*
2017-11-16 18:08 pimpG: "ignore beatmap's hitsounds" won't work. "disable storyboard" won't disable the sb'ed sounds
2017-11-16 18:14 Stefan: I posted in the thread.
2017-11-16 18:15 pimpG: oh thank you
2017-11-16 18:15 pimpG: this is better than posting the log but i didn't expect anyone to want to get involved
2017-11-16 18:16 Stefan: Well
2017-11-16 18:16 Stefan: All I want is a good reason why TR4 is bad
2017-11-16 18:16 Stefan: And nobody gave one so far.
2017-11-16 18:17 Stefan: I don't give a shit when people say it doesn't make sense or fit. lol
2017-11-16 18:17 pimpG: i considered everything, actually.
2017-11-16 18:17 Stefan: Fair enough.
2017-11-16 18:17 pimpG: it raises the combo from 1400 to 1800
2017-11-16 18:17 Stefan: However, you cannot really consider other modes (example with Taiko) since the map is designed for Standard, not for Taiko.
2017-11-16 18:18 Stefan: It's just an annotation you can mention.
2017-11-16 18:18 Stefan: But that's it.
2017-11-16 18:18 pimpG: yeah i expected that treadment for that annotation
2017-11-16 18:18 pimpG: but it's real and can be avoided
2017-11-16 18:18 pimpG: the way i did
2017-11-16 18:20 pimpG: do you have anyone to recomend me to get opinions?
2017-11-16 18:22 pimpG: for now i asked chewin, blue dragon, gabe, you, planning to ask val0108, djpop, toy, hollow wings, saten and whoever shows up randomly
2017-11-16 18:22 Stefan: Uh, not really.
2017-11-16 18:23 pimpG: i see
2017-11-16 18:23 pimpG: but i'm very thankful for your support anyway
2017-11-16 18:25 Stefan: np!

18:14 pimpG: hello
18:15 Gabe: hiii
18:15 pimpG: i would like to get opinions from experienced mappers
18:15 pimpG: from those who can think for themselves and not going to be biased
18:16 pimpG: are you busy?
18:16 Gabe: can do my best
18:17 pimpG: i will just show you my map and show the specific parts
18:18 Gabe: yeah sure
18:18 *pimpG is editing [https://osu.ppy.sh/b/1031280 3L - Macrophylla Parasol [Marathon]]
18:20 pimpG: i honestly think that i have more interesting gameplay the way it is, rather than remapping slider ticks as clickable notes
18:20 pimpG: as my mapping is for the most part, vocal
18:20 Gabe: okay yeah
18:20 Gabe: lemme check
18:22 pimpG: in my opinion, slider ticks work the same way as repeats and slider ends
18:22 pimpG: so it's okay to have sounds like that on them
18:23 pimpG: because repeats and slider ends get the same treatment as circles and slider starts on hitsounding
18:23 Gabe: there's no issue on my end
18:23 Gabe: as you said, you're following the vocals with your objects
18:23 pimpG: now something more specific
18:23 pimpG: yup
18:23 Gabe: and hitsounds in this case is like a plus
18:24 pimpG: yes!
18:24 pimpG: 01:17:294 (2) - what about this?
18:24 pimpG: hitsound on 1/4
18:24 Gabe: its okay
18:24 Gabe: hitsound consistency while following another sound
18:24 pimpG: nice, then the next point
18:25 pimpG: people are saying
18:25 pimpG: that i should not use slider tick rate 4 because i don't need it very often
18:25 pimpG: they say that i should use tick rate 2 and use storyboarded sounds for those parts that i need faster slider ticks
18:26 pimpG: i told them that storyboarded hitsounds are not a better option than slider tick rate 4, because it has too many bad side effects that slider ticks don't
18:26 pimpG: you probably know them already
18:27 pimpG: the bad side effects
18:27 Gabe: yeah, I do
18:27 Gabe: it's not even recommended to use storyboarded hitsounds ANYWAYS
18:28 pimpG: yup
18:28 pimpG: especially inside hitobjects
18:28 pimpG: so do you think it's fair to use tick 4 for hitsounding?
18:29 pimpG: i have muted slider ticks where i don't need them
18:29 pimpG: just like the map i showed earlier
18:29 Gabe: yes, since your 1/2 sliders will have hitsounds with tick 4
18:30 pimpG: nice
18:30 pimpG: can i use this log if i need it later?
18:30 Gabe: i guess
18:15 Gabe: hiii
18:15 pimpG: i would like to get opinions from experienced mappers
18:15 pimpG: from those who can think for themselves and not going to be biased

2017-11-18 13:30 pimpG: everybody should play james maps xD
2017-11-18 13:30 pimpG: what do you think about the custom slider tick hitsounding?
2017-11-18 13:31 bossandy: He is a great mapper
2017-11-18 13:32 pimpG: indeed, his legacy is barely matched by other mappers from the same era
2017-11-18 13:33 bossandy: I thinks it's fine , but do not use too many custom slider ticks
2017-11-18 13:34 pimpG: okay let's compare with my map, it has similar idea
2017-11-18 13:34 pimpG: ACTION is editing [https://osu.ppy.sh/b/1031280 3L - Macrophylla Parasol [Marathon]]
2017-11-18 13:34 bossandy: It's a bit wired now recently because of its slider tick rate xD
2017-11-18 13:35 pimpG: wired?
2017-11-18 13:35 bossandy: too much stick xD
2017-11-18 13:36 bossandy: I think Slider Tick Rate 2 is the best imo
2017-11-18 13:36 pimpG: 01:17:294 (2) - but i have 11 sliders that requires slider tick rate 4
2017-11-18 13:36 pimpG: like this one
2017-11-18 13:37 pimpG: the slider ticks that i don't need, are using a silenced hitsound file
2017-11-18 13:37 pimpG: everything i did in this mapset is rankeable
2017-11-18 13:37 bossandy: I know what you mean
2017-11-18 13:38 pimpG: what do you think?
2017-11-18 13:38 bossandy: It is all rankeabke imo , It's all fine for me tho , but I am not a formal MAT or BAT now
2017-11-18 13:38 bossandy: haha
2017-11-18 13:39 pimpG: i know, but i have 7 nominators against me using slider tick rate 4
2017-11-18 13:39 bossandy: If I am a MAT or BAT , I will bubble or rank this map :3
2017-11-18 13:39 pimpG: so i want to show them that veteran mappers have no problem with them
2017-11-18 13:39 bossandy: Their reason is ?
2017-11-18 13:39 pimpG: "it's not fitting"
2017-11-18 13:39 pimpG: but i muted the ticks where i don't need them
2017-11-18 13:40 pimpG: "just because it's rankeble doesn't means it's good"
2017-11-18 13:40 pimpG: that's all they say
2017-11-18 13:40 bossandy: Yeah , That's why you muted the tick and it's fine for me
2017-11-18 13:41 pimpG: yup
2017-11-18 13:41 pimpG: are you fine with me posting this chat log in the thread later?
2017-11-18 13:41 bossandy: why is it not good ? Rate 4 for a
2017-11-18 13:41 bossandy: rate 4 for a better hitsounding
2017-11-18 13:41 bossandy: It's all good for me
2017-11-18 13:41 pimpG: i think they are just scared because nobody uses slider tick rate 4 noawdays
2017-11-18 13:41 bossandy: Yeah
2017-11-18 13:42 pimpG: thank you, your opinion means a lot to me, i hope it helps me get this map qualified
2017-11-18 13:43 bossandy: You right haha
2017-11-18 13:43 bossandy: I hope so!

2017-11-18 13:39 bossandy: If I am a MAT or BAT , I will bubble or rank this map :3
2017-11-18 13:39 pimpG: so i want to show them that veteran mappers have no problem with them
2017-11-18 13:39 bossandy: Their reason is ?
2017-11-18 13:39 pimpG: "it's not fitting"
2017-11-18 13:39 pimpG: but i muted the ticks where i don't need them
2017-11-18 13:40 pimpG: "just because it's rankeble doesn't means it's good"
2017-11-18 13:40 pimpG: that's all they say
2017-11-18 13:40 bossandy: Yeah , That's why you muted the tick and it's fine for me
2017-11-18 13:41 pimpG: yup
2017-11-18 13:41 pimpG: are you fine with me posting this chat log in the thread later?
2017-11-18 13:41 bossandy: why is it not good ? Rate 4 for a
2017-11-18 13:41 bossandy: rate 4 for a better hitsounding
2017-11-18 13:41 bossandy: It's all good for me
2017-11-18 13:41 pimpG: i think they are just scared because nobody uses slider tick rate 4 noawdays
2017-11-18 13:41 bossandy: Yeah
2017-11-18 13:42 pimpG: thank you, your opinion means a lot to me, i hope it helps me get this map qualified
2017-11-18 13:43 bossandy: You right haha
2017-11-18 13:43 bossandy: I hope so!
2017-11-18 13:44 bossandy: Good luck on the ranking road hehe

2017-11-18 10:51 pimpG: so you disagree with me using tick rate 4?
2017-11-18 10:51 pimpG: does it makes my map be bad as the nominators are saying?
2017-11-18 10:53 spboxer3: umm... sorry about that but yes, but if I'm BN I will make this pass, cuz It's really not a big problem to melol
2017-11-18 10:53 spboxer3: The sb sound is good sol to me too
2017-11-18 10:55 pimpG: i wrote why i don't like to use sb'ed sounds here p/6349361
2017-11-18 10:55 pimpG: but it's ok if you disagree, thank you for giving me your opinion, and i hope you decide to a become BN xD

for those who don't know, MAT was the equivalent to the tier 1 BN (could only bubble maps, not rank them, they all had different tone of pink color name)
BAT was the equivalent to the tier 2 BN (could do what the MAT's did, and also rank maps, they all had different tone of red color name)
and at some point the status of a BAT was basically the same as a QAT+GMT, basically admins that also handle beatmap rank process
the standards for joining MAT and BAT were much higher than what it is nowadays to join the BN. so it's safe to assume that if the veterans were still around handling beatmap ranking process, many of the current members of the BN would not even be accepted as BN...
the only ones that never been part of the MAT or BAT are Saten and val0108, but they are both god tier mappers, they just were not interested in handling beatmap ranking process.
spboxer3 still prefer SB'ed sounds but my map is still worth a bubble for him. everyone else seems to be totally okay with tick rate 4

Until this day, slider tick rate has been used in different ways depending on the map/mapper's needs. for exemple, mappers often use them to make slider changes more noticeable, especially when they try to make a slider with higher length to have similar size as a shorter length slider, similar to new combo for SV changes.
There is also some mappers who simply don't like slider ticks, so in the past, when it was available, they ranked their maps with slider tick rate 0.5 making slider ticks appear only after two beats instead of every 1/1 beat with str1.
i wish i could find more beatmaps using str above 2 and custom slider ticks but unfortunately they are very difficult find because tick rate is not a setting that can be searched like "od=9" "ar=10" (but that also shows how "irrelevant" this setting is, changing the AR OD CS HP by 1 have much more significant impact on gameplay than changing the slider tick rate)
so let's just imagine a map that has 1/3 rhythm, the "correct" slider tick rate would be 3, right?
WRONG .... most of the 1/3 songs don't have that many sounds landing on 1/3 ticks, usually only 40%~70% of the song supports str3 but no one complains about str3 if the mapper decides to use str3. music using 1/3 rhythm are minority, so if they can't use str3 on songs using 1/3 rhythm then where are they going to use? meanwhile, music with 1/4 rhythm are majority, but people usually go for 1/1 because they don't like slider ticks, or because they don't want slider ticks for the parts without 1/4 sounds (even knowing that silencing slider ticks are rankeable, they might just not want to have to mess with green lines), or they simply would want to map the parts where the slider ticks could be used.
https://osu.ppy.sh/s/14624 that James map i showed to everyone is a good exemple. str3 was used only in normal, because he needed it there, and decided to mess with green lines to silence the parts that he didn't want to hear the ticks. James did not used str3 on the harder difficulty, even knowing that it was very fitting, the sounds he thought that are important were mapped normally, and instead, he used slider tick rate 0,5?
He simply don't like slider ticks, only used for normal because it was necessary and he knew that slider tick rate is to be used according to his own needs.
https://osu.ppy.sh/b/81060 why didn't DJPop used slider tick rate 3 on his normal? if slider tick rate is something that's supposed to be fitting the song then he might have made a mistake on his normal or on the harder diffs? and what about the max combo? normal have much smaller max combo than the higher diffs, max combo is an issue, right? NO... if he decided that str1 is more fitting for his normal then taking the combo in consideration would be stupid.
btw i have nothing but respect for DJPop and Winter Bells is my favorite Christmas map of all times, and one of my favorites maps in general, but to be honest, when i think about it, str3 doesn't really sounds that great for the most part of the song, he and CDFA needed str3 for their custom hitsounds on "Hard" and "CDFA's difficulty" but the insane doesn't have the same spots with custom slider ticks, he could have used slider tick rate 1 if he wanted, but he didn't so it's fine.
Slider tick rate 0,5 was removed from the editor ages ago, now it can only be activated editing the .osu file, so using str0,5 is discouraged (or unrankeable?) but slider tick rate 4 and 3 are still usable in the editor, that means higher tick rate is not discouraged.
slider tick rate can not be changed, we can only use one slider tick rate per difficulty, and it's not like it was not a feature that was requested before t/47451&start=0
viewtopic.php?f=30&t=4694&hilit=slider+tick+rate
it's been 9 years....if the Developers wanted to add this feature then it would be added already. why do you think that silencing slider ticks is rankeable?
conclusion: slider tick rate can be whatever the map/mapper needs/wants as long as it makes at least one little bit of sense.
i'm not using slider tick rate 4 because i think it's superior to the other tick rates, it's just because it's necessary.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
a lot of people were trying to convince me that sb'ed sounds are superior to slider tick hitsouds, and some people even mock me for relying so much on the ranking criteria. if the ranking criteria is not important, then why is the staff wasting their time improving it constantly?
yes, i know it's relatively easy to make a rankeable mapset, the ranking criteria is actually very easy to be followed. but why the staff keep it so easy to be followed? because it's to force mappers to keep using the "fundamentals" while not limiting their creativity.
limiting creativity is exactly what's happening here.
by "creativity" i don't mean that what i'm doing is innovative, james and djpop already did that before me, and probably a lot more people did that too, but this is still something that is at least very unusual for nowadays, that is clearly rankeable, and i did it very well. but instead of being praised for making good use of an unusual mapping technique, i'm only getting negative comments and being suggested to only do "more of the same".
