um have you playtested these yourself? It's really uncomfortable to play most of this.

Please note this is personal opinions and is intended as helpful criticism!

All tested

They are heavily charted in most cases. There seems to be no focus on any particular instrument in 60% of every song making each map really lacking in some of it. By lacking I mean it lacks flow. Seems like you put in alot of effort into each song trying to include every instrument. Sadly with only 4 columns/lanes there is only so much you should include at a single time. Also there are some unreadable SVs that are really not needed.

An example of unreadable SVs is Act II (you. - Shiawase Transmission).

The rule of SVs is they must be between part a and part b. part a being notes here and part b being notes here. no notes should be in between.

refer to here for a better explanation t/155780

Act I could be ok if you are trying to be the next Wafle. I mean like Wafle's SHD on AiAe. But that still flows well. It has a lot of unnecessary jacks that could be moved around to flow better. Sometimes it is better to make it more comfortable to play rather then stick to the pitch. Also dem 1/16 taps is just wow.

No kudos, a friend asked me check it out.

From a pro player POV tho I imagine it is quite a fun and challenging experience. Please do something about them SVs tho xD.

Anyways that is my opinion from a normal players point of view. Regardless of my opinions your chart is done with very respectable effort.

:)

Replying to Crono 9 days late because I don't check my threads very often:

First off, thanks for taking the time to playtest these maps and the effort to make a post with feedback. Really appreciate it.

Have you playtested these yourself?

Yes, I have playtested all of them for the most part except Blue Zenith [Act VI] (I played it on HT to check for syncing issues but yea).
I have also gotten this mappack playtested a lot of times to make up for the stuff I can't play and also for feedback in general.

They are heavily charted in most cases. There seems to be no focus on any particular instrument in 60% of every song making each map really lacking in some of it. By lacking I mean it lacks flow. Seems like you put in a lot of effort into each song trying to include every instrument. Sadly with only 4 columns/lanes there is only so much you should include at a single time.

Yes, they are heavily charted. I don't know how you interpreted every note, but not every note corresponds to a sound, as is the case with ranked maps or maps that go for rank; in other words, there are a lot of 'ghost notes'. These are intended for really higher-end players and are heavily pattern-oriented with the patterns usually following the 'densest' instrument and the melody usually exists as a guide for following an abstract pitch with the notes (For example, Interlude [Act I] is prominent with this with base beats mapped with triples and quads and between those beats are singles at 1/4 interval that are semi pitch-relevant. The middle section follows the snares for bursts and short LNs are utilized for trance in the second half; the only difference between the first half and second half of the middle section is reading.).
The flow exists in the constant stream of notes when playing these kinds of charts (DJ Sharpnel charts, the lost dedicated and dumps in general and the reason why you can't feel the flow is probably because you can't adequately play them to the level where you can keep up with the notes in the aspects of both reading them and actually hitting them.
There are a lot of things you can do with 4 lanes, probably more than you can imagine: I'd even go as far to say that there are near infinite possibilies. With ranked beatmaps or stuff that are trying to be ranked, however, that is not the case since there are a lot of limitations since the usage of ghost notes is prohibited meaning that if there's going to be a note, there has to be sound. For this reason, all the current beatmaps in the ranking criteria are heavily based on the music and do not consider playability or patterns as a primary component in mapping (which isn't even necessary anyways considering that the current level of players far exceed those of the charts) and as a result, most ranked charts as of now flow badly in terms of general playability and standard deviation in difficulty in accordance to music (As an example, you can take stuff like this where the difficulty is concentrated in short intervals, the kiai is undermapped due to lack of sound, and generally have no correlation to how the music flows.). I'm free of those rules as long as I'm mapping in the graveyard and therefore am going to do my best to utilize the possibilies of what I can do; what I should do is only restricted by my views as a mapper.

There are some unreadable SVs that are really not needed.

There are little to no unreadable SVs in these (Source: I have gotten a lot of playtests on these for the readability of the SVs and most players had no trouble getting an S on Shiawase Transmission [Act II] on their first play and they said that the SVs were readable upon being asked. A select few even scored an S or near S on Doppelganger, and I received feedback that some of the SVs are off screen for some players with high scroll speed, and have since lowered the velocity or moved the stops on some SVs.). Have you even looked in the editor? Each SV in every chart is between two notes. The reason why you can't read them is primarily due to you not being able to perfectly read the patterns in the first place and the SVs do not help with that. Even players who can SS the patterns with ease when given to them without SVs will have trouble getting good accuracy on them with SVs even if they are perfectly readable.


I don't mean to sound condescending, but this pack simply isn't for players at your level. I do imagine it wouldn't really be fun considering it would be tough for you to even pass one of these charts with decent accuracy (It's not fun for me either when I play stuff that I simply can't.). I would be really happy if you considered trying them after you improved upon your skills. I have received a lot of positive feedback from higher-end players and have also adjusted some charts for better experience since the first release of this pack, and I'm quite happy with how this pack turned out.
