2015-10-10 13:47 Darcsol: Alright, let's start.
2015-10-10 13:48 Rydawg19: You have a very good map to this point, every note is on point.
2015-10-10 13:48 Rydawg19: The map is really easy to read, which is good.
2015-10-10 13:48 Darcsol: yup
2015-10-10 13:49 Rydawg19: The parts where the notes stack (which I will put the time on in a moment) disoriented me a little
2015-10-10 13:49 Darcsol: Which parts specifically?
2015-10-10 13:49 Rydawg19: (00:42:440) is where it began
2015-10-10 13:50 Rydawg19: You can tell only barely tell theres another note underneath.
2015-10-10 13:50 Darcsol: btw you can copy and paste timepoints. ex: 01:31:653 -
2015-10-10 13:50 Rydawg19: Oh, I did not know that, thank you
2015-10-10 13:51 Darcsol: Anyway, I don't see the problem on that point
2015-10-10 13:51 Rydawg19: The problem is it's so out of left field
2015-10-10 13:51 Rydawg19: Up until that point, everything is cut and pasted
2015-10-10 13:51 Rydawg19: (and by that I mean that everything is clearly cut out and spaced)
2015-10-10 13:52 Darcsol: Sorry, you're still vague. I need examples.
2015-10-10 13:52 Rydawg19: Hold on
2015-10-10 13:54 Rydawg19: 00:35:433- The notes are stacked for that beat, no?
2015-10-10 13:54 Rydawg19: But wait
2015-10-10 13:54 Rydawg19: 00:26:325- The same beat is a slider
2015-10-10 13:55 Darcsol: remember you can copy and paste timepoints 00:26:456 -
2015-10-10 13:56 Rydawg19: Yeah, but my mac is dumb and It's not being convenient
2015-10-10 13:56 Darcsol: Command + C?
2015-10-10 13:56 Rydawg19: Not for mac. Command C isn't recognized, its only C
2015-10-10 13:57 Darcsol: strange, oh well
2015-10-10 13:57 Darcsol: Anyway, I think it's fine.
2015-10-10 13:57 Rydawg19: You're probably right, It might just be a personal thing
2015-10-10 13:57 Darcsol: The map slowly gets more complex as it plays
2015-10-10 13:58 Rydawg19: You have alot of Kiai time too, which is seperated by maybe a half a second of pause.
2015-10-10 13:58 Darcsol: True. I tend to do that.
2015-10-10 13:59 Darcsol: But I agree there's a lot kiai time.
2015-10-10 13:59 Rydawg19: If you could sew them together, since It's really only one note, It would make the kiai explosions slightly less distracting
2015-10-10 14:00 Darcsol: But I find parts like 01:38:267 - where it's more appropriate to seperate kiai time.
2015-10-10 14:00 Rydawg19: Hold on, let me quote this here
2015-10-10 14:01 Rydawg19: It's normal that a Kiai section is slightly more challenging than the rest of the mapset, as Kiai time is also the strongest part of the map.
2015-10-10 14:01 Darcsol: Yeah?
2015-10-10 14:01 Rydawg19: thats straight from the wiki
2015-10-10 14:02 Rydawg19: I mean I agree that both parts are the strongest part of the song
2015-10-10 14:02 Rydawg19: It's just, alot of stimulation.
2015-10-10 14:02 Darcsol: I'll consider it.
2015-10-10 14:03 Rydawg19: Don't get me wrong, you have a fantastic map
2015-10-10 14:03 Darcsol: I need more feedback from other modders.
2015-10-10 14:03 Rydawg19: I'm not really even critiquing the beat placement, you had that on point
2015-10-10 14:03 Rydawg19: You have a really strong map.
2015-10-10 14:04 Darcsol: But?
2015-10-10 14:04 Rydawg19: No buts. The Kiai time was the only flaw that I noticed. That doesn't mean it's not a good map.
2015-10-10 14:05 Darcsol: That's all? There must be a flaw somewhere.
2015-10-10 14:06 Rydawg19: I mean, you made the difficulty name match the difficulty it's supposed to be.
2015-10-10 14:06 Rydawg19: It wasn't easy, it wasn't normal, It wasn't insane
2015-10-10 14:06 Rydawg19: It was just, hard.
2015-10-10 14:07 Darcsol: Alright. I guess we're done with Hard then?
2015-10-10 14:07 Rydawg19: Pretty much, yeah.
2015-10-10 14:07 Darcsol: Other than the diff needs hitsounds
2015-10-10 14:07 Rydawg19: Yeah, but you already knew that
2015-10-10 14:07 Darcsol: Alright, to Normal
2015-10-10 14:08 Rydawg19: Ok, so just checking AiMod, more then 1/3 of the map is kiai time
2015-10-10 14:09 Darcsol: Yeah
2015-10-10 14:09 Rydawg19: Same thing from hard, reduce that
2015-10-10 14:09 Darcsol: I'll consider it
2015-10-10 14:10 Rydawg19: You have really good spinner placement, right before the base drops
2015-10-10 14:11 Rydawg19: Half the map is sliders, which is good for this difficulty
2015-10-10 14:11 Rydawg19: But all the sliders feel the same
2015-10-10 14:12 Rydawg19: slightly curved or straight.
2015-10-10 14:12 Darcsol: What do you mean?
2015-10-10 14:12 Rydawg19: I mean theres no real variety to the sliders. It's just either straight or slightly curved.
2015-10-10 14:12 Darcsol: I don't see how it's a problem
2015-10-10 14:13 Rydawg19: And it's not as big of a deal on hard, where the map is more not based
2015-10-10 14:13 Rydawg19: but when half the map is sliders
2015-10-10 14:13 Rydawg19: it can get repetitive
2015-10-10 14:13 Darcsol: By how the sliders looks or how the sliders are placed?
2015-10-10 14:13 Darcsol: *looked
2015-10-10 14:14 Rydawg19: The sliders are placed well, as they're guiding you to the next note, but they just all look the same.
2015-10-10 14:15 Rydawg19: Does that make sense at all?
2015-10-10 14:15 Darcsol: I don't like using linear sliders or any exquisite slider placement
2015-10-10 14:16 Darcsol: I like to keep things simple
2015-10-10 14:16 Darcsol: and consistent
2015-10-10 14:16 Rydawg19: t/37194
2015-10-10 14:16 Darcsol: Yeah, I don't do most of them
2015-10-10 14:16 Rydawg19: All of these designs can make the map a little more fun
2015-10-10 14:17 Rydawg19: This map has such a good beat to make fantastic sliders to
2015-10-10 14:17 Darcsol: I don't think I'll change them anytime soon.
2015-10-10 14:18 Rydawg19: Ok, that's completely ok. I just want to give my opinon.
2015-10-10 14:18 Darcsol: Anything else?
2015-10-10 14:18 Rydawg19: No, thats really it.
2015-10-10 14:19 Darcsol: Okay
2015-10-10 14:19 Rydawg19: You have good mapping skills, there's not very many things to critique

The song goes on for quite a while after the map ends, maybe you should cut that part out.

00:16:062 - Note on this tick is ignored, you could end the slider there instead and map something else after it
00:17:007 (4,5,6) - These are mapped neither to the pizzicato strings, nor the staccato strings. Here is a suggestion on how you could map it:

But of course you don't have to use this, use anything as long as it fits.
00:19:606 - No idea why you would want to end the slider on this point. The white tick before it seems more fitting for both parts of the song.
00:20:787 (4,5,1) - suggestion:
00:24:566 (4) - seems undermapped. There are 4 equally distinct notes played for the duration of this slider and 2 of them are completely ignored. You can have a returning 1/4 slider and a circle for example to improve it, or a double returning 1/4 slider.
00:27:165 (2,3,4) - Again, you are ignoring a more dominant note on 00:28:346 in favor of less dominant notes on 3 and 4 circles, also ignoring a dominant note at 00:27:637 inside the slider
00:28:582 (4,5,6,7,1) - very weird rhythm here, suggestion:

00:32:125 (4) - same thing, end slider on white tick
00:39:685 (4) - ignoring a note on white tick
00:44:173 (5) - start this slider on 00:43:937
01:23:149 (1,4) - stack?
02:38:502 - add a circle
02:53:620 - add a circle
02:55:746 (1) - ignoring a note on the white tick
03:33:541 (1) - try starting this slider on 03:33:305 and making it return once
03:41:101 (1) - ^
03:43:463 - this shouldn't be ignored as well
03:46:534 (3,5) - ugly overlap
03:50:313 (4) - this doesn't fit too well, try something else

00:15:826 - why not a circle here?
00:20:551 - ^
00:30:944 - ^
00:37:322 (8,2) - stack
00:37:559 (9,4) - stack with end of slider
00:56:692 (1,2,3,4) - I'm not sure about having a stream in a hard difficulty, even if it's as short and easy as this one.
00:57:165 (5,6,7,8,9) - I recommend rearranging this to form a more aesthetic and easy-to-read pattern.
01:08:031 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - nice pattern!
01:09:921 (7) - new combo here, to accentuate the repeating pattern?
01:16:062 (2) - new combo here instead of 01:15:590 (1) ?
01:38:740 (3,5) - why not stack them nicely, like all the other times you used this pattern?
01:38:976 (4,6) - ^
02:16:998 (1,2,3) - I would use a perfect triangle here, instead of an unfinished square
02:56:219 (2,3) - this overlap looks quite ugly imo
02:57:164 (4,5) - ^
03:10:864 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) - same thing as above, arrange the sliders more nicely, and rethink the little burst stream
03:16:061 (3,4,5,6) - more ugly overlaps
03:19:841 (3,4) - it's getting worse, i'll stop pointing it out now, but think about how you use the overlaps in the rest of the map, don't just place objects in random places
03:54:329 (6,9) - stack
03:54:565 (7,10) - stack
03:57:400 - add circle

02:15 Yunaax3: first you should decrease the HP drainrate, 7 is a little high for a hard map
02:15 Darcsol: I'll consider it. 7 is my default drainrate for hard diffs.
02:16 Yunaax3: wow ok i use about 6 for my extra maps... xD
02:16 Darcsol: I think that's too low
02:17 Yunaax3: maybe..
02:17 Yunaax3: then 01:08:031 (1,2,3,4) - looks kinda angular you could maybe round it off as long as it is not intentionally
02:18 Yunaax3: compared to the other curves you made
02:19 Darcsol: I'll fix it
02:19 Yunaax3: keep in mind this are only suggestions
02:21 Darcsol: Yeah
02:21 Yunaax3: 02:17:943 (1) - place a cirlce here and move the spinner to the next tick
02:22 Darcsol: Considered
02:23 Yunaax3: remove 02:36:376 (6) - and extend 02:35:667 (5) - to this tick 02:36:376 -
02:25 Yunaax3: is this Nc 02:59:526 (1) - intentionally?
02:25 Darcsol: First suggestion: 02:31:888 (6,7,8) - this is similar to what your suggestion is changing
02:26 Darcsol: Second suggestioN: the NC is intentional
02:27 Yunaax3: just saying that there is no beat at 02:31:888 (6) - 's end
02:27 Yunaax3: tail* mb
02:28 Darcsol: I'll consider it
02:29 Yunaax3: 03:46:297 (5,6,7,8,9,10) - maybe a little unreadable for a hard map if you consider the average player skill at this diff
02:30 Yunaax3: you could also shorten the combo
02:30 Darcsol: Maybe, but I done some tests and everyone liked the part.
02:30 Darcsol: I'll consider shortening the combos
02:31 Yunaax3: so last thing 04:15:116 (1) - same with the circle and the spinner

If you're going to use HP7 on a Hard diff, I would recommend making the combos shorter so that players where Hard diffs are actually HARD can still play the map without failing.
00:46:299 (3,4) - I know there isn't technically a beat here and that's why you put the rest in here, but it's just beginning the buildup and the missed note just kills it a little bit. Also, you don't skip it about four notes later when the same flow happens again.
00:59:881 (2) - This does fall on a beat, but switching from white and red beats to blue beats will probably throw a few people off. I think the usual work around for this is sliders, but I'm not sure if it's really a big issue here.
02:04:714 (6,7,8,9) - Just from a personal viewpoint, I don't really like these doubles. I think they would look better a little staggered, kind of zigzagging their way up. Or just non-doubles zigzag. Not an actual problem, just a suggestion.
02:12:273 (6,7,8,9,10,11) - See directly above
02:33:305 (2) - This slider ends on nothing, but still works if you want to keep some more note "density"
02:40:864 (2) - See directly above
02:43:817 (2) - See the above with blue beats. This one feels significantly worse than the other one, maybe because this one isn't a drop? Even if you don't change the other one, I would change this one.
