This is basically the alternative DDR mode in Osu!

Nonstop would be a course of songs all played back to back. You could add mods to certain maps to give your course a different twist. You would not be allowed to pause. Combos would carry over songs. This would be on a different set of rankings. This would also allow people doing unrankable marathons to be able to be ranked in a sense.

Endurance mode is basically an endless stream of songs within a certain star range. My suggestions are: 0-1.49 stars for Easy, 1.5-2.99 stars for Normal, 3-4.49 stars for Hard and 4.50- 5 stars for Insane. This would not be ranked because you would need to force the player to obtain all maps for equality which is a problem with an ever growing ranked list. But you'd be able to show off the results which would contain total time played as well as a list of songs played, to make sure you didn't cheat.

I was also thinking of an Extreme mode for both where even breaks in songs are removed.

Thoughts?

I don't see anything fundamentally wrong with using DDR stuff with Osu! as they're both rhythm games.

Allowing pausing defeats the purpose of Nonstop and Endurance.

Anyway, the courses would be like the beatmap system now. People would submit course with the songs and mods applied, and mods check that it's a reasonable course and rank it. The points earned would be on a DIFFERENT set of rankings.

EDIT: Actually, I think only mods should be able to make courses. Course are easy to make so it wouldn't do well to have people submitting 100 courses a day.

I think this should go more along the lines of what James was thinking; picking/random via star difficulty a set of 4-5 beatmaps to play.

Agreed with disallowing pausing.

I do not agree with allowing them to add to your ranked score, though, and I doubt peppy would want to have another set of scores specific to a mode like this.

Removing breaks would require jumping through sections of the mp3, as well, and would sound like hell. So 'Extreme' isn't an option, imo.

Thems mah thoughts.

...so basically mini Parapara's that count towards an ingame, online ranking, but not directly to your overall ranked score? I'm not entirely sure if peppy could do this without setting up another ranking board to do so.

I was thinking more along the lines of separate scores being recorded during play: total and the actual beatmaps' scores. That way, any ranked beatmaps played in the set would still count towards your ranked score, and unranked would not.

...Although, on second thought, that would basically defeat the purpose of an endurance mod, anyway. >>

I would like to see some sort of endurance mode in at some point, though.

And therein lies the rub.

I think Endurance could be ranked if a formula was designed for it.

That said, ranking or no ranking I think the modes are plausible and fun ideas.

I've wanted to add a non-stop gameplay mode. Its not going to be done anytime soon (unless echo shows interest in helping with it ;)) but it would definitely be a separate ranking. Not sure how courses would work but there would be the option for users to create their own courses, choose non-stop random, or play "ranked" courses for attempts at the non-stop ranking. I believe this ranking would be per-course, which no "total ranked score" so it would place more focus on doing good at each course, and less on playing every course out there.

Bringing this up in the meeting due to cool factor.

Thanks, peppy. I also wanted this to happen. An endurance mode will be OK.

YES Go go go! I've always wanted something like this

Incredible Necropost! I was almost Dazzled!

Ahem.

I support this, a Non-Stop/Endurance feature would be cool, even if it was unranked.

Endurance Mode should only be available to users having at least 10 maps on their folder.

Just because it's not the same game doesn't mean the same features can't be implemented. I for one is supporting the feature to be able to play multiple maps like some sort of playlist. There are so feature requests created related to this too. :v

But I wouldn't use it. Hell no. Even if it was ranked. I want to take my well deserved breaks between songs. But maybe if you could put the same map multiple times on the list. Useful if you're trying to achieve some really hard rank which requires you to play a lot.

This post... You got my vote up!

I'm looking for "friendly" long beatmap and couldn't find it up till now because any approved beatmaps mostly have a high AR and BPM. If i can set up my own song, it will make my endurance training easier.

I kinda wanna make this a request >_<
would kinda be fun being able to play maps back to back.
also when this is added, maybe add a max combo number for nonstop mode in everyone's profile?

Support it.=w=
Although I must admit that I havn't played DDR games.

Dunno if anyone's mentioned this but this feature would sound great if...
> this somehow involved the monthly Charts or make monthly challenges of its own
> it refreshes as often as the Charts do
> it gets a mode of its own under 'Special'
> leaderboards + replays were included of course. Though making replays for such mode sounds complicated. How about making these replays temporary until the month ends?

UI Idea
Nonstop Mode

Last month's challenge:
Song 1 + Song 2 + Song 3 + Song 4
Winners: (Click for replay)
[#1 derp Score:???????? Combo:?????]
[#2 derpina Score:???????? Combo:?????]
[#3 herp Score:???????? Combo:?????]

This month's challenge!

Would be cool if this were possible in multiplayer too. Play a set with others.

A way to get higher max combo w/o having to play certain beatmaps.

Well, I sure support this

This would be pretty cool,but it would be sucicide for my keyboard.
jemhuntr
there should be a 5k and 10k combo achievement in the profile then.
Nitori
I can just see the disappointment in player's faces when a 10,000 combo is broken because of a silly mistake.

I'd support it. \o/

Would love to see this in osu! regardless if osu! is not a DDR. Alway wanted a long "song" to test my endurance.Also, since peppy implanted the Playlist option for osu! via the collective, can't he do the same for the gameplay?
Howl
It would be awesome a mode like this in osu.
I was thinking about a thing only for this mode: it would be great a mod that can make this mode not exactly "Nonstop". A mod that puts a screen between a song and another saying "Ready for the next one?" for the players that between a song and another want to make a break. Of course, I think that for making it fair for the user that plays without this mod it must decrement the multiplier to x0.75.
Necroposting Powah
loldcraft
That would be a great use for the collections feature (nonstop a collection)
have optional mods to make health only regenerate during kiai time (but disable healthdrain outside, else its obviously unplayable...)
