Do you map? Do you plan to map?

Well atfer school mapping is my 2nd life. I map whenever i have i some freetime and feel like it. Why do i map?
Because there are so so so many good songs out there which deserve a Map, and since there are so many japanese songs already im mainly focusing on House, DnB, Hardstyle etc.
Mapping can be really fulfilling as well, whenever you start a new map youre like "How the hell am i supposed to map that" then you map it like 2 times and just now how to map it. Its an awesome feeling. And the feeling to contribute something to the game itself is really amazing, and thats where all the fun comes from, as a mapper youre actually keeping the game alive. Mapping is love, mapping is life.

I never plan to map or interact with that terrible community.
Tried to map back then. But because of the difficulty in fixing things, timing, etc, I gave up mapping. If i had the talent in mapping and if I'm just persevere I would have made lots of beatmaps. Edited:[Didn't even published my beatmaps cuz the community may pass by and give out critics, which I'm not good to handle.]
P.S. I think you need kudosu to advertise your maps or something like that and many in the beatmap threads don't accept newbie modders so you can't earn much. ? >.< I think[?]

Gotta agree with thisGrim Rapper wrote:
The only thing that prevent me for mapping (because I'm no professional)is mainly:
1. Manual BPM setting (so tedious, is there any alternative I wonder...)
2. Abbreviation and other things that I didn't understand(SV, 1/2, 1/3 I don't understand)
3. There's so many things to do, but can't really tell the actual phase of it (like step-by-step or something)
4. Unwritten rule about certain things (maintaining the flow, set a fitting AR, CS, and OD for each difficulty [FAQ is not related], and other)
Is there anything that can help me solve this problem, then I'll map right away

or maybe coz memes
The mapping community is an ever-evolving mixture of people who know what they're talking about, don't know what they're talking about, who know the mathematical basis of all modern music, those who don't know what a stanza is, people who map for attention, people who map for creative expression, people who map because they crave accomplishment.
Music, and thus to a necessary lesser extent, mapping, has been since its conception a race between creativity and formulation: A never-ending, self-fulfilling ouroboros of interactivity and mutual competition more relevant to the human psyche than any sort of spiritual or material experience.
And we're all just along for the ride.
Oh, and there are people who make penis sliders. They're the real heroes.

It's hardly a community, when basicly if you're new you're alone, since little people will be willing to spend their time to teach you, if you have experience you don't really need the community to rank your mapsKhelly wrote:

I tried many times to map but I can't create any maps which can follow the rythm of the song. Sooo, it's really annoying for me to map, it needs too many practice and time.
I was constantly thinking of mapping but it got me back. By the way, which songs are good to map in nature?
Anything with clear, consistent beats so that you can time them without too many problems and that you actually have something to place notes on. Also songs with variety so that it won't get too repetitive and boring, which is one of the reasons why DnB songs are often cut in osu unless it's a marathon.Garygoh884 wrote:

The first one is something you can solve, by using a bpm analyzer. It's sometimes not accurate, but gets a good bpm pretty often, from what I hear.Grim Rapper wrote:

The second one I think can't be solved. For any task, words people will use a lot will become abbreviated, it's just life. But normally you can ask the person about it and they'll tell you. (Oh, and just for completeness: SV = slider velocity, how fast the slider goes. 1/2 and 1/3 refer to a number of beats, e.g. half a beat, one-third of a beat, etc.)
For the most part I agree with the rest of your post. Mapping if you're new is like swimming for the first time and being pushed off a 12-foot diving board. I know of a couple people who are putting in effort to make the mapping community a better place for new mappers, and others who have expressed interest in creating tutorial series to help people learn technique. I'm far from experienced, but if I had any advice to give, it would be focusing on creating something that's fun for you, instead of basing your opinion on your work on what other people think about it.
If you're planning on mapping, I wonder what's been stopping you from pursuing it so far ;o.
Timing can be quite a hurdle for new mappers, but I recently discovered statementreply's timing analyzer: https://osu.ppy.sh/u/126198. It's surprisingly accurate when the song is a single bpm but won't work as well on variable bpm songs. (Generally speaking though, mapping variable-bpm songs as your first map isn't the best idea)
I'm hoping to see more new faces in the qualified section xD. I can't really name any "2016 mappers" that weren't also 2015/2014 mappers aswell.

Mapping is good, and fun. But maybe, people often aim making it rank or qualify. While some just want to map for the justice in not finding a good mapset, some focus on getting "fruits on their labor" or something like that XD
I map alot, but I find it very hard to find modders (or even playtesters o.O) for hard mania 4k maps .-.
I happen to use that program since the past 1 or 2 years.Monstrata wrote:

ehh, mapping is fun. except the ranking part of it
That the term meme is overused and that that would be one of your presumed reasons because apparently it exists?Anxient wrote:

I'm new but I don't really have any plans to do mapping
I try to map sometimes. Not very good at it, though.
mapping started as a fun thing when I was bored with playing but then became an interesting thing to follow and practice with
Started to map actively around a month ago. Currently trying to achieve my first ranked map which seems to be a hell of a hard achievement to get so far.

I chart a decent amount for osu!mania, albeit mainly stupid tournament warmups, but on occasion it's a serious thing.
I'd probably do it more-so if the editor wasn't to be so annoying to use, yet that's why I'm anticipating osu!next.
Trying to find willing playtesters is a pain, though, without trying to annoy people.

I map mostly for myself for fun, and because osu needs more video game songs 
I'd also love to get them ranked but ranking is such a pain...

Mapping since 3 years ago
Had a break (no inspiration) 2 months ago, but I'm back now ^_^

I tried mapping, but I never submitted it. I've seen how some high-profile maps that I'd call absolutely flawless get unranked again and again, so as a complete newbie what chance do I ever have of getting something ranked? It's a complete waste of time, so I'm not sure if I actually want to map anything.
I stick to mapping strictly for o!m
don't really enjoy playing anymore but mapping has always been therapeutic for me and I enjoy mapping esoteric and just generally leftfield music
