In multiplayer, when either DoubleTime or NightCore mod is selected by the host, players should be able to switch between the two.

I believe this should be implemented as NightCore vs DoubleTime is a personal preference and player do not have an advantage in choosing one over the other (same score multiplier)

It could be implemented by unlocking DT/NC in the mods selection for players to toggle:

Host has not enabled any mods

Host has enabled DT

User click and drags DT to switch it to NC (as they would in singleplayer, same multiplier):

I'm not a fan of this suggestion. If I'm the host, and I pick Nightcore mod, it's because I fully intend to bring the Nightcore experience into everyone's lives. People who have an issue with it can find another room. DT and NC are worth the same, but multiplayer's about more than score. It's about the shared experience.

That all said, I don't play in public multiplayer games that much these days so if this got implemented, I guess I wouldn't care that much.

It's like saying no-video should be used if the host picked it.

I would rather choose what to have, since it doesn't affect the score
I'm not really a fan of Nightcore, so yeah

I actually like this idea

If the host adds Nightcore on a song and i think it sounds bad i can just switch to Doubletime and vice versa.

I only use Nightcore to help me stay on beat with faster songs other than that it's almost always Doubletime

+Support.

in every time join a room, they would always go for NC.

I'm not sure. I like the idea but that would mean players won't play the exact same thing, which could not be fair for everyone (for instance I prefer NC over DT because there are additional beats that help me to keep the rhythm, thus providing a slight advantage for me).

in speed it's the same thing. so it shouldn't matter. It's already a little advantage and have been for a long time now, why complain about that for this request?

I am not complaining, I am just throwing an observation to balance the pros and cons. I'm not against the idea :<

^ one reason why I like NC

Well, the speed-up doesn't go well in all maps/difficulties though.

Yes. As one of the few people who would care, yes.
If this is confirmed as not a duplicate then I'll star.

I hope it works the other way around too, though. I seem to encounter people that pick NC on the worst songs..

Sounds good. DT and NC are actually very similar.

I will attempt a merge. I think I can save your star priority.

-Heh that worked out smoothly.

Bumping and showing support cause NC > DT.

Threw in some stars at this, would be really great to see this implemented

im not the biggest fan of nightcore because of the metronome taking my attention away from timing via approach circles / disappearing to making me time to the metronome (which could be off from the bad offset..) so turning to double time when someone chooses nightcore would be beneficial for me. i dont think this suggestion is exactly no mod difference.. it depends on how you read the map.
