Probably not gonna happen, I imagine people will be scared of checking my stuff after what happened with nightmare overture, unfortunately, even if they see it of as good quality. People viewing the amount of days a map has been submitted as more important the quality of the map is a huge problem, to me.

00:10:168 (3,4,5,6,1) - wouldn't it be cooler if it had some consistency? like you see in the play the notes are not so consistent to theirself imo. You could move (5) to 192;192 and 00:12:168 (1) - to 176;192, looks better to me.

[Relxaing]
00:10:168 (3,4,5,6,1) - dunno if you want a spacing increase at each beat but uh, I don't see the reason why 00:10:668 (4,5) - is by far wider distanced than 00:11:168 (5,6) - are. It looks random imo.

00:16:168 (3,4) - Move (3) to 56;192 and (4) at 200;192, fits better to the music having a consistent spacing at similar sound/beat.

[Chalenging]
00:10:668 (4,5,6) - Same case like Relaxing.

00:17:168 (5) - Why not moving on the same spot like 00:16:168 (3) - ? looks cleaner imo

[Let it go]
00:12:168 (1) - Move it on the same spot like 00:11:168 (5) - is.

From PM request, bear with my since I'm a scrub modder but I'll give suggestions.

General

I feel that “piano” and “calming” should be in the tags because of the song itself.
Just a comment, “holy CS, Batman” on the last diff.
I'd make the volume on the final spinner 5% so the spinner bananas don't distract too much from the song.

Calm

00:10:668 (4,5) – I understand pitch wise why you'd make that spacing there but mapping wise and I'd personally make the spacing between (4,5,6) more even spread by putting (5) on x=192.


Relaxing

I have no comment, looks good.


Challenging

Looks good.


Frozen in Time

Looks good.

You could move (5) to 192;192 and 00:12:168 (1) - to 176;192, looks better to me. - Moved these around a bit in IRC mod with koliron (which isn't finished yet lo) but I made them more consistent, however I don't want to do placements similar to this because I feel the backforth motion may be a bit too hard for the difficulty I'm aiming for, and I want more emphasis on 5 for the stronger sound here with the pitch.

[Relxaing]

It looks random imo. - Like mentioned in calm, it's because the pitch on 5 is quite a bit stronger, so the slightly higher distance feels nice to me.

00:16:168 (3,4) - Move (3) to 56;192 and (4) at 200;192, fits better to the music having a consistent spacing at similar sound/beat. - Rearranged slightly, however similar to in calm, I wanted to have the distancing match the pitch and strengths here, and the strength of these notes gradually increases.

[Chalenging]
00:10:668 (4,5,6) - Same case like Relaxing. - Same as then.

00:17:168 (5) - Why not moving on the same spot like 00:16:168 (3) - ? looks cleaner imo - I did this to match the increasing strength of the notes.

[Let it go]
00:12:168 (1) - Move it on the same spot like 00:11:168 (5) - is. - Done.

2016-06-16 20:47 koliron: 00:16:168 (3,4,5,6) - these distances could be confusing, i'd prefer to see more difference between normal movements and dash
2016-06-16 20:47 koliron: try to put v00:16:668 (4) - some grids to the right and maybe 6 to the left
2016-06-16 20:48 - Magic Bomb -: moved 4 to x:192
2016-06-16 20:48 koliron: if you agree do not forget to test the distance to 00:18:168 (1) -
2016-06-16 20:48 - Magic Bomb -: i'd prefer to keep 6 where it is though
2016-06-16 20:48 koliron: ok
2016-06-16 20:50 koliron: about the hitsounds
2016-06-16 20:51 koliron: my only suggestion is remove the whistle in 00:11:668 - and 00:17:168 - to keep them only in 1/1 only to the strongest sounds
2016-06-16 20:51 koliron: only only
2016-06-16 20:51 - Magic Bomb -: 00:11:668 - removed from here but the other one sounds fine to me imo
2016-06-16 20:51 - Magic Bomb -: because of the pitch increases there
2016-06-16 20:52 koliron: ok
2016-06-16 20:52 koliron: lemme check the rest of general
2016-06-16 20:53 koliron: ok thats all
2016-06-16 20:53 koliron: after a icon
2016-06-16 20:53 koliron: please ask more people about the cs
2016-06-16 20:53 koliron: i think 6.5 is a lot for a platter lol
2016-06-16 20:53 koliron: specially for those seeds
2016-06-16 20:53 - Magic Bomb -: yeah i will

PLZ RANK WORKED SO HARD ON THIS ;_; ;_; ;_;
to be fair i did work pretty hard on this

Like I've said previously, I understand that the shortness of the songs I map means they take less time, however I try to make up for that by putting quite a bit of time into little details, fine tuning the map to make sure it's the best it can be, as to use less of a modder's time. I feel as though a lot of mappers should do this anyway, but a lot don't, having an attitude of "oh the modders will fix it". This is why my maps require less modding, because I spend a lot of my own time self modding. If you're gonna try and be condescending, at least have the decency to explain yourself through the use of a mod. If you think I didn't work hard on it, surely that should be due to some quality issues you have found, right? So please tell me.

And if you have no issues with the map other than that it's easy, please kindly leave, as this is not a map designed for you, nor will it ever be, unless your mindset changes. If you expect me to make a higher diff for this, then, simply, no. It's basically impossible with this song due to the nature of it. If your issue is with the song length, then again, you need to realise that I map music for the music, I don't care about the length.

As for the "4 27 second long cups", you're actually wrong with each point. There is only 2 cups, and the map is just not counting the drain time of the final spinner. The other 2 difficulties are a salad and platter, something you'd notice if you had actually played the map. This just shows you don't care about the quality of the map, which is a real shame.

Either way guys, updated with a tiny bit of self modding, hopefully everything should be fine now.

Prepare for super nitpicky stuff :3

[General]
  1. Looking good, although idk if there should be audioleadin for this map. I mean, the song starts super early in the editor, but idk if that audioleadin rule is stil in effect ;-;
[Calm]
  1. 00:06:168 (1) - Could use more distance here as the instrument enters at this tick.
  2. 00:15:168 (2) - A little bit more distance here from the previous note would be favourable as this note has essentially the same synth like 00:00:168 (1,2) - .
  3. 00:24:168 (1) - This would be better with a lower distance, as the pitch of the instrument's going down.
[Relaxing]
  1. 00:06:168 (1) - Like Calm.
  2. 00:18:168 (1) - Like you did in Calm, it would be better if this note had more distance to it, to emphasize on the building up of the sound.
  3. 00:24:168 (1,2) - In Calm they get lesser emphasizement than in this difficulty, makes me wonder which one is better... Either way, make the distance between these notes in Calm and this difficulty consistent.
[Challanging]
  1. 00:06:168 (1) - Like Relaxing, would be good if you added some more distance on this note.
  2. 00:08:168 (2) - Personally from this difficulty I think you could use some rhythm variety - having no variety in rhythm at all for all these difficulties might be just plain boring. For this one as an example, I would split up into 2 circles to emphasize on the loud sound at its tail.
  3. 00:18:168 (1,2) - Another place where you can make the rhythm slightly more denser, you can make (1) either circle triplets, 1/1 slider + a circle, to emphasize better on the buiding-down effect of the song. (Personally I would go for 1/1 slider + a circle to use the circle triplet in Platter)
[Frozen in Time]
  1. The high CS value here is totally fine; the BPM is already low enough to support the use of this. In terms of playability it's fine too, as there is several ample breaks for players to have a smoother gameplay.
  2. 00:06:168 (1) - Lke Relaxing
  3. 00:08:168 (2) - Like Challanging
  4. 00:18:168 (1,2) - Like Challanging, I would split up the notes so that it has a better gradual build-down; for this case I would go for circle triplet on (1), then use 1/1 slider + circle on (2).
Ok what am I supposed to say on such a solid map ;-; Sorry for the half-assed mod.

well that escalated quickly
it is actually good mapping and i know it isn't all cups (technically by star rating they are, but frozen in time is definitely in the platter range imo). i wasn't really being condescending, just more being ironic (a couple of my friends who map make really short maps with really slow bpm and say it's "artistic and deserves to be ranked" XD) and this is just after another map like this so i just didn't know about it
so yeah, i was just joking, it's actually a pretty good quality map, i would give modding but idk how to mod ctb that much ;_;

Hi, I think the offset is wrong here, mainly on the first two notes (00:00:168 (1,2) - ). I dunno if it's just me, but the "strobe" sound is clearly off from the placement of the notes, and I dunno if it either needs a new red line or a different snapping than what's there.

Some additional stuff to point out, in the highest diff, you have a bunch of large gaps, such as 00:12:168 - , where a note could be extended into a slider or some other way to make it so that there isn't such a large zone of "emptiness". Even though it's such a short song, it feels like every diff is pretty much a ctrl+c ctrl+v of each other, with smaller cs and different positioning. In short, there's really no creativity or change in difficulty at all, besides the CS gimmick.

I'd like to hear what some others think about this, because even though the position of the notes and everything else meets quality requirements, the set feels quite lazy and pretty much copypasted. I'd have liked to see some variety, at least in rhythms or stylistically when moving up in difficulty.

Offset is probably best for someone else to check, it sounds fine to me, and was used in the ranked set, but of course, some sets get ranked with incorrect timing.

The other idea, the timeline being the same was intended, as stated in replies to earlier mods. If this is truly a problem, I would prefer not to rank this, as it completely ruins my idea behind this map in the first place, and I feel as though changing this really takes the creativity out of this map. Each difficulty is different in it's own way, calm having lower distances than a cup, like my previous calm difficulties, relaxing having some bigger distances but still no dashes, challenging having dashes and a lower CS, and Frozen In Time having a low CS combined with a few double dashes, to better match the difficulty of a platter (As HDashes are basically impossible at this bpm, so i took a similar approach as I did to nana del laberinto).

Let's see. We've discussed internally about the beatmap and it'll be disqualified by now.

The timing looks correct after some confirmation. The mentioned notes are placed where that "strobe" sound begins, which is unfortunately the weakest sound of the strobe. The strongest sound, at least on the first notes, would belong to 00:00:418 - and 00:03:418 - and a kick-slider or something similar would fit better to cover that sound.

Anyway, I'd like to hear some more input on this experimental map of yours from the community before pushing it forward. In my honest opinion, it would've been enough to map just a EN mapset but these are just my 2 cents.

Good luck!

huh i tried to help the hardest diffs to make a better spread but i agree, i dont think that a platter is recommendable in a song like this :c

Should have thought about this before qualifying; and I actually quite agree. A platter for this song would be not too recommendable due to the song's nature, but maybe that's just me or something. On the side note :

The other idea, the timeline being the same was intended, as stated in replies to earlier mods. If this is truly a problem, I would prefer not to rank this, as it completely ruins my idea behind this map in the first place, and I feel as though changing this really takes the creativity out of this map.

I still think that the timeline for the harder difficulties should be different(in terms of difficulty), just like what Ascendance has said. I can see your idea behind this map and all, but just having the exact same rhythm on every spot makes me feel the map's lazily done and all... and at least nana del laberinto had different rhythm throughout the whole mapset, but that's again just my opinion. But I did like your idea behind the map's constant rhythm throughout all difficulties(hence the reason I gone for the heart).

I would prefer to keep the hardest difficulty. It can be thought of as a salad with high CS if you prefer, but I don't see any point in getting rid of a good difficulty that fits the song fine (Which the CS makes noticably different from the other difficulties), just because the song doesn't suit the difficulty that map was aimed to be. I'm not overmapping to achieve this difficulty, so I feel as though there is nothing wrong with it overall, so if it makes it look better in your eyes, think of it as an EENN spread instead of an EENH spread.

As for the timeline, as I've mentioned to others (Not here, I mentioned this stuff in PM), changing the timeline would either mean changing circles to sliders (or vice versa), which doesn't make sense to me because if a note is held, it's held in all difficulties, not just in one difficulty, so I would change the timeline in all difficulties for that. The other way to change timeline would be to overmap, and of course I never want to do that, so I see no way to change this. In the aforementioned point by Ascendance, 00:12:168 - , extending this to make it a slider would add slider ticks which don't fit the song, and making it a 3/1 slider (Which I assume you're suggesting), just feels far too odd given how passive this sound is.

I'll try to get more thoughts by the community on this, thanks everyone so far for your thoughts.
