While I do understand the change and agree that this will definitely be an improvement to the viewing experience, I don't like it at all. The reason scoring is very combo heavy is because the hardest aspect of the game is supposed to get rewarded the most. For example, in osu!mania combo doesn't do anything at all because you could literally just spam all your buttons and still keep combo, while not paying ANY attention to rhythm, while in standard reading might as well be the single most important skill in the game. I do understand that a "random miss" on a map you performed extremely well on can ruin the whole score, but being able to stay focused while playing is IMO the most difficult aspect of the game.Bauxe wrote:
I don't get why people are confused about the change to the scoring system, it is probably the most requested thing relating to OWC.
it's still in heavy testing, hence why I gave you a rough tendency where it will go. I am sorry that we were unable to deliver concrete details sooner.CXu wrote:
Would be nice to know that before signing up to a tournament though, you know
For now it's probably still okay. It sucks, so it's something that hopefully doesn't happen next year (since last owc we also had the problem of not knowing some things in advance, which resulted in everything being blown out of proportions last year too). The best would be if you could get these things finalized before the registrations end though. Those who register should be able to expect the rules to be what they register for, so yeah.Loctav wrote:

Oh, you won't commentate. Don't even bother.Mr Color wrote:

Every year.
Every year they forget about me.
Thanks for the input! We will consider this option internally and figure something out, if we deem this as feasable.StarrStyx wrote:
I dont know if it's appropriate to do so, but I somehow think that for one or two matches, some streamers or well known osu commentators on Twitch can be asked to commentate on a match or two.
Just to bring some freshness to the streams imo, apart from the usual ones
I absolutely agree and I tried my best to whip the devs harder, but it wasnt possible to release the complete thing just in time. I actually wanted it to be done and dandy right before we open the sign-ups, but this was out of my reach hahaCXu wrote:

We didn't need you for past 3 world cups. So, no. You can resume playing steam games now.Mr Color wrote:

I just hope that this scoring system won't be as bad as mania's. Indeed, I honestly feel like it's the worst for tourneys, why?
Because you cant make advantages of players' consistency in terms of comboeing (not sure about the correct word to use there). Before, in team based tourneys there have been a lots of tight match that has been disputed throughout maps because people had combos while other had not. I honestly feel like consistency is what people want to see, they want amazing combos more than "amazing accuracy" which is not relevant on long songs.. holding combos is harder in tournament than holding accuracy IN MY OPINION.
Well, i think i am pretty confused in what i say, but if it appears to be close to mania's score system, then i highly disagree with your choices.
Bit of a harsh thing to say to the person who did the majority of the commentating of the last few years, is it not?Loctav wrote:

Wtf is this thing about Color, he was actually the best commentator with at least some knowledge about the standard players for all past tournaments.
Btw, you should consider taking in some new commentators. People like Evrien, lolimonz, Doomsday and others were really great during the All-Star tournament that took place not long time ago and could bring some great quality into this tournament as well.
We're working on it, I can't really say anything for now.Yauxo wrote:
How will the map difficulty be scaled? (Non-)Linear?
Probably PP-oriented system.Loctav wrote:
You should wait until we actually release how the scoring works before you make assumptions about it.

While it could be kind of "fair", it would ruin the viewing experience.

Like, seriously, can I commentate too?
