It troubles me to announce this but there is one exploitable aspect of Catch the Beat which needs to be amended. Therefore I will be issuing a full reset of scores for all CtB plays as well as a new release of osu! in a few hours. Sorry about this, but as mentioned by others I did give warning alluding that this may occur, so hopefully it won't be too much of a surprise/letdown.

Also changing:
Catch the Beat multipliers
HardRock 1.06 -> 1.12
DoubleTime 1.12 -> 1.06

From the new version the notice mentioning CtB score resets will not be present, and we should be good to go for the future!

Edit: I'll probably do this tomorrow - I need to do a bit of work with the current build before its ready.

That's ok. I hardly played CtB anyways, because I wanted it to be ok first.
I did play parapara using it though, so there goes those 36 minutes. Haha. :P

But, as I said, it's for the best.
well seriously i couldn't care less, i was expecting a score reset, and instead of just removing some peoples score, i thought it was better to reset 'em all.

Didn't play much anyways because, as i said above ^, i was expecting this :P. and the scores aren't hard to do again, except my hidden marisa and blinking FoG2 xD <3
peace

In what way? if you have any complaints, best mention them now before we decide on a permanent scoring system?

Well, at least skinned catchers has been tested now. :P (Okay that was bad). Oh well, at least you warned us that a score reset had a good chance of happening, so there's no real surprise. I'm just glad that we should be good to go now.

P.S. Will the catcher be sped up slightly for this release? Just wondering, since a few fruits were impossible to catch because you were JUST slow enough...with the dash. =P Doesn't matter though. I'll be playing fruits more after this update regardless, since I <3 fruits.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO! I think I was the only one who wasn't expecting a score reset. I mean, I thought one might happen a week or so ago, but not this late in the game. I had quite a lot of good scores...

Well, there goes all of the scores on the approved songs for CtB that were played by me. =/ Oh well, it wasn't much, really. I can still try to do it again after the reset.

There goes my top score in Sekai wa Sore wo Ai to Yobunda ze, then. I couldn't believe it when I saw my name there, in first place. But oh well, I was expecting a reset, and it was fun, so why not try getting that score back? Even though I know I won't be able to because I will miss a fruit somewhere and
By the way, as I've already asked before, is playing a hard map in CtB (and passing it) supposed to raise your level meter by something around 25%, at least around my level? It has happened here a lot of times.
CtB added to total score, so playing CtB songs that are ranked will increase your level eventually as your total score increases. However, your level will probably decrease significantly after scores are reset.

I bet you improved while playing so getting alot of those scores back won't be hard for you, and it's fun isn't it?
So if it's fun, there is no need to whine :) <3

Why not get alot better after the reset/update and pwn everyone?
Don't quit fruits just because of the reset xD

And about the impossible to catch fruits, leave them as it is imo. Most of them aren't impossible to catch, you just need to time it right :)

About that shinigami, isn't it the same with standard osu / taiko? ;)
Wouldn't that mean changing the whole scoring system of the game to change that?

which won't happen, ever.
Ahhh..bad reason I guess... now I just realized how stupid I am for typing that.

Actually, I got horrible. I haven't played much at all since I started playing Resistance 2. I couldn't beat any previous scores.
Then go play some tomorrow, when the score reset is :).
I bet you'll be back in notime ;)
