I really like the concept of this idea! And the name "free play" makes it like score doesn't matter. There is a different in being on a multiplayer lobby where everyone want's to be the best - and a mulitplayer lobby where there is FRIENDS with different "ranks", where they can both play the same song together with a difficulty that they can actually finish without having to fail.
In my case, I'm playing with people with people who plays normal - and myself with extra. It's boring for them if I put on the diff "extra" and boring for me if they put on the difficulty "normal" --- But we still want to play together!

Multiple scoreboards during gameplay?

why not use mods then?

it will be great if we are playing with our friends (newcomer)
The Actor
We can add the "free play" feature and for fairness, lower difficulty songs will have a closer lower ratio of score than their higher difficulty counter-parts.
Though this will only count if the mapper has set options for it, if not then the feature will be deactivated or will use the default ratio that is set already in osu!

Really like this idea. +2

Why not force scorev2 along with this? Score cap would fix most issues that are being brought up.

for such a good idea

THANK YOU! I have many friends on different skill levels (I play 5*, a friend plays 3.5*, two of my other friends starting out, and a friend that plays 2*)
Maybe you could force Score v2 during this mode? Maybe even cross-mode play (if map support)? I play mania sometimes, but I still want to be able to access the same lobbies.

Yeah this would be nice!

Even if it gets 100000 Priority there is no guarantee it is ever going to get added. Think of this as a petition to Peppy to add a feature to the game. Whether he decides to add it or not is his choice. The star priority just lets him know how many people think it's a good idea.

and even if the answer is no, he isn't gonna at least say so? how nice...

Why Not? I have friends that are just starting and I need to play with them fair.

Edit: btw, can please someone add an edit on the very 1st post about the most updated and helpful suggestions from this thread? (if possible, thanks! :D )

4 years later, still not added even if Peppy agreed to the idea D: oh rip, even if it's a good idea :(

Being able to let people choose their own difficulties in a multiplayer match would be really awesome, let's hope it actually gets added at some point.

o snap this could allow mapsets to have different parts/instruments of songs mapped to be played in teams to be a more flexible version of tag co-op.

i can imagine watching team matches in tournament with this already

watching a whole team play would be so cool

actual scoring (if this is actually implemented for matches) and seeing the difficulty selection of each player would need to be handled
Dempsey
this would honestly be great for all players no matter the rank +1
animexamera
not all diffs of a mapset are neccesarilly the same length
nerfs
It can be allowed for players who are already done to spectate someone else who is still playing. (After a short delay, if the game notices that you're idle because the part of the song that is playing isn't in the diff you chose, it'll let you choose someone else who is playing to spectate)
It can still work, even for songs like Ata - Euphoria
Maoman
Playing with a friend who just started out... find this 5 year old idea with tons of support... still not implemented...

Come the fuck on.

Would really make it easier to play with friends of different level !

Please don't reply with "support"

With the implementation of ScoreV2, this would be a great idea if not for the community having to abandon those lobbies with (N*-N*) and that just feels kinda sad. I suggest this should just be one of the options in the lobby where you pick how the lobby is played i.e (head to head, tag team , etc.)
high rolls

Yeah and there are also beatmap sets that use different mp3s for each beatmap. Even though that is unrankable it could still cause issues with synchronizing the players in a lobby.

This would be an amazing feature if you want to play with someone who just got the game
You can play like 5 star diff while your friend plays like 2 star maps

You should check out lazer's timeshift multiplayer. It basically covers this request.

Honestly I find this idea totally useless, I do not understand how it got so much support. You can't add certain things (For this reason too, it has not been added in the official version) in an already formed game that you should change the game's community. Not to mention the fact that the idea itself is simply horrendous and not feasible. If the song is easier as a result it will also be shorter than a insane, also it would no longer be a player vs player, but would become a single player in a chat room
Dialect
it depends. every diff has different cs, hp, ar, and od, and not to mention not every diff has the same drain time. it still seems useless tho

Not everyone goes to multi to be competitive, and if one song is shorter then the shorter song has to wait. Every diff will have the same mp3 length.

Great idea!

Its a really good idea if ScoreV2 is enabled
