I personally think that a 7-Star system can better represent map difficulties than the current 5-Star system.
The current system works well for 4 Star maps and under, but the same cannot be said for 4.5/5 Star maps. Some old 4.5 Star maps are harder than new 5 Star maps, this is probably because at the moment the 5 Star rating covers too wide a range.
I reckon the current 5 Star rating should be split into 3 categories:
-New 5 Star (Easy-5)
-New 6 Star (Medium-5)
-New 7 Star (Hard-5 and above)
The new 7 Star maps will target those that can only be consistently FC'ed by the top 1000-2000 players.
Playing 5 Star maps in MP mode is just like playing Russian roulette at the moment, you never know what you're gonna get....

As absurd as 8 difficulties sounds, putting a hard maximum on the number of difficulties actually sounds more absurd.
What's the alternative to hitting the difficulty cap? Splitting it into two mapsets. Now we need to download all those bulky resources (mp3, skin/SB if applicable, etc) twice. Nah, I'd rather just download the one beatmap set.
As true as that is Ekaru it sounds VERY negative.Ekaru wrote:

Just make a "You'll have a hard time getting a map with a lot of diffs modded" note somewhere in the Ranking Criteria and all would be fine IMO.
This. I would hate to have a max of 8 diffs, it would just ruin the whole purpose of having a map with diffs from so many other people. Such as: Atama No TaisouNatsumeRin wrote:

For new mappers, i guess they won't spend several months just to make more diffs. And for experienced mappers, they should know that would cause much more trouble to rank that. And as they already know, they can judge if it worths themselves.
I have 3 8-diffs mapset ranked now (probably the most among mappers), it's because people rushed in to provide gds, and i won't reject if it has a good quality. I know it would be harder to get a map ranked because of this, but i think it won't hurt to give people more enjoyable diffs.
Also would recommend then that the creator of the map should have a reasonable part of diffs self mapped.Why ? Imo each playmode should be able to get his own diffspread in the mapset even osu!mania ones. But hey this means ENHIX x4 = 20 diffs in a mapset.Kin wrote:

Why I- ? I and I+ is enough imo.LKs wrote:
2~6 standard diffs (yes E, N, H, I-, I, I+)

I have the same opinion as those two. Nothing more to say from my site.NatsumeRin wrote:

I think if you're going to map a full beatmap set for two different gamemodes within the same set, then it'd really be better off if each mode was its own set. That's my opinion until someone changes it.Sakura wrote:
To the ones wanting a limit of X number of difficulties (total, per gamemode, w/e), why do you think there should be any limit at all?
Does it make sense to download the same mp3 twice (or even thrice), the same SB if it exists, and anything else like videos for the sake of having it split into different game modes?TheVileOne wrote:

A really good point. However, since I am pretty sure that there will be more CTB Diffs made (talking about all non-Rain Diffs) the Rule would be a obstacle. And ofc, there is still osu!mania. I really can imagine 14- until 18-Diff Mapsets in the near future. Also, the person should decide if he keeps his Map longer unranked or if he wants to "rush" it to the Rank. I actually hate it when people are saying that it will takes longer because of eight Diffs (and maybe more later).Gabe wrote:
Just a little thought (That I've been thinking of since a long time..)
I actually thought to increase it to 9 since Catch the Beat difficulties are now rankable and why am I referring to that? Well because since they're now rankable, a mapper could have three Catch the Beat difficulties, Three Taiko difficulties and three Standard difficulties. So actually, the gasp here would be Easy/Normal/Hard or Normal/Hard/Insane.
Anyways, that's just a thought I wanted to shout out.
No offense, but I find this example very very bad._Gezo_ wrote:
I wouldn't mind a 500-diff mapset, but that'd become huge after a moment, and horribly tedious to mod, especially when the song is as long as Anjuu, for example.
