Do you delete map elements?

I delete everything on _every_ map (SB/Background/Skin).

Anything with a halfway terrible skin gets deleted. I'll usually leave the SB and I always leave the BG.
KRZY
I delete everything cuz it's easier to play that way >_> lame, I know, but that's how I play

I'll delete the elements that cause flashy scene, as well as 50/100/300 elements.

I chose the option "I play the maps as they were made" but I actually tend to avoid playing maps with high amounts of SB unless the map is actually enjoyable. (or in special cases where the SB is better than the map) *

Reasons include:
  1. Lag
  1. Distraction
  1. Custom skin elements like cursor or hitsounds.

I typically delete elements when they interfere with playing or when I need a scapegoat for doing badly on a map ~_~.
But I usually just dislike the 300,100,50 images cause typically the colors are different and I rely on the color rather than number to know what i got ;s

you can choose to have your default skin's cursor overwrite any custom one - just fyi :P

too bad its only the cursor T^T

The only sb ive ever removed was in Nightcore - Jump Jump

But I put it into a new folder and then put it back because it's JUST TOO FUN TO NOT WATCH.

The SPINNER blends well to the mouse cursor (even if you change the cursor)... can't see it very well...
I can't get a higher bonuses...

BTW, I still not deleting those spinner skins even if I want to... because I still get a 300...

I only move the SB (when i have lag) to other folder and later i restore it :3

I delete everything in every map because it helps me a lot on increasing the fps so i can move faster, and by faster i mean more normal than a laggy retarded movement.

I'm doing this only because it helps me playing better if the computer has a better performance, i couldn't have cared less about the visual stuff if they didn't do anything to my weak computer :|

When i'll get a better computer ( i don't think it will happen soon though..) i'll stop deleting stuff.

I play the maps as they were made. Maybe because I find it too bothersome to go find the beatmap's folder and delete everything there.
When something lags me, I just wait for my computer to get "better" (restarting often helps), or just play something else. Storyboards generally don't affect me though; whenever I get lag spikes, I get them globally, and I can get through any skin pretty much fine (except of course if it's an horribly horrible skin, but I don't recall any, probably because I don't play as much anime as everyone else).

If I delete the elements.
I think the map will be tedious~~~

maybe it will let me make more "miss" when I'am playing.

but I think It is the important parts of th OSU!

I like them~~~

Maps should be played as they were meant to be. The only exception I would make is if it's as flashy as that map James made a while ago.
blazen_old
You can delete custom skins? I did not even know you could do that. Some custom skins really kill me. I guess I play them as they are meant to be.

  2. sb that makes me feel sick (eg. with the whole image flashing/rotating/moving)
  3. hit 300 100 50 if the colors look alike
  4. spinner without center
  5. approachcircle and hitcircleoverlay sometimes
  6. ...

Also yeah I know peppy keeps saying SB lags aren't supposed to happen but, truth is, they do.
ziin
China makes most of our electronics and thus can get them for cheaper...
LaceWingfield
well i didn't delete anything
because i already get used with some annoying elements.
Maxer00
I only delete those super-special-HD quality-awesome videos,when I get tired of 'no-video' them,because my PC is a monster...in a old way,ya know.
loli66
well i not delet elements becuase sometimes this elements are need for help in the experience of play that map, but sometimes i only download with the option "download without video" because the video sometimes give lag very bad
Equivalent_old
When it come to disturb my gameplay, no doubt I will delete it immediately. As a player, I prefer more score than art
Gon
Delete elements on a regular basis. I've been playing on black backgrounds on other rhythm games and I still prefer to keep it that way.
SYSEN
no because i was too lazy to search the song folder

Deleting storybaords, backgrounds and skins is possible due to the currently open nature of beatmaps. Without getting into a debate over what is right or wrong, I would like to know the general ratio of people who do this -- mainly to reinforce my beliefs that the number isn't as high as some people think.

If you make a post starting any kind of debate it will be removed.

If you choose the last option, providing examples of maps is highly encouraged!

I play no vid
Vulf
No video is perma on.

Only thing that really bothers me are some of the custom skins. I prefer my own skin most of the time ;)

I delete backgrounds when they are suggestive or borderline-NSFW as I play osu! in my living room.
Rena-chan
Hell no !
If anything, I add a custom skin, video, or SB to maps that deserve it. No deleting things here, unless they make maps REALLY unplayable.
OzzyOzrock
I've only ever deleted HORRIBLY distracting SBs, such as ones that move around, which can REALLY be bad on taiko, and a skin that just made playing painful, because it was half transparent.

I delete pretty much all of that. Screw owner's skins. I'm going to play how I want to play.

Say for example - Infected Mushroom - Becoming Insane has a annoying strobing effect which annoys me. I had to delete the flashing.

Same applied to Alice Deejay - Better Off Alone

Maybe there should be a rule to not use these types of strobing..for anyone!!
Cheer-no
I only deleted the BG on StrangeProgram. Too headache-inducing...

.osb editing. As long as I don't touch the .osu, I can insert however many SB elements I want in an already ranked map without breaking it for me. :>

I should change my vote to always.
