the way I map is by following both vocals and instruments at the same time, spacing emphasis is a combination of both of them too hence why I think I can copy paste this, to me it's completely fine as I think it perfectly fits the 2nd part too even though the vocals are different as everything follows the instruments nicely.
This doesn't make sense. If you follow both vocals and instruments, then why don't you change the map when the vocals do? If you always followed instruments only then yeah I'd see why you'd want no variation but here there's clear variation in one of the two, and the map should follow that.

If you want to follow both vocals and instruments at the same time fine, but don't just randomly stop following one of them so you can copy paste a section

I agree with Gabe here that the variation between the sections should warrant some kind of variation in the map.

I keep both in mind when doing spacing, I honestly don't see the problem with it lol it's not like "just so you can copy paste a section" as frankly I really don't care about saving time or anything, I did it because I think it fits well. just because I say I follow both doesn't mean I do it everywhere either, e.g in the kiai I have bigger spacing 02:50:271 (2,3) - here for the kick in instrumentals and big spacing here 03:06:209 (1,2,3,4,5) - because of the vocals being stronger. I follow what I think has more impact in the song at that point

basically 99% of the spacing in the part mentioned is based on the instruments which is why I think it fits nicely in the 2nd section too as the instrumentals are the same rhythm wise, I basically disregarded the vocal there

-- also sorry if it comes off as rude but this is my thoughts on it and I think there's no need for more people to come in to try and prove someone else's point when I could just talk to 1 person instead of having to explain the same thing to multiple people. thanks for your input though

Hello, I have some concerns on mapset!

mithew's Easy
  1. 00:38:459 (4) - That is a slider-shape I would not recommend in an easy, because we don't really see the shape of it, so it kinda acts like an holding circle. It will be better to "open it" while keeping your main idea. Do the same thing for 00:44:459 (4) - and all the similar ones on the second half of the map. ok
  2. 00:48:209 - 01:54:209 - 02:36:209 - You could maybe force these breaks to be starting on these timestamps? That would be neat. ok
  3. 03:04:709 (4) - Considering the curve of the last slider, you should move this slider to make it follow the flow of it instead of making a perfect straight line from the end of the previous slider to this one. For this instance, just move this slider a little bit more to the right. uhh did smth else
  4. 03:09:959 - Coming here, I believe you can use a better rhythm, because I feel you are skipping something. Maybe you could do something similar to what's shown below, which is something to 02:57:209 (2,3,4) - : rhythms fine imo, fits changing vocals well
  5. 03:24:584 (1) - Delete the reverse arrow of this slider to make the difficulty finish on 03:24:959 - like every diffs (except Lucas, which I am also asking the same.. lol)ok

Hello!

One of your beatmaps was recently referred to us for mediation following a Beatmap Nominator veto. The details of the veto can be found here.

After discussion amongst members of the Quality Assurance Team Disqualification Branch, we have decided to uphold the veto. The reasons for this decision are stated briefly below:

  1. 28% of the Normal difficulty are breaks even though there is a drumlayer starting at 01:00:209 - and 02:06:209 - . The large amount of downtime can feel very underwhelming for the player.
  2. 02:17:084 (1) - to 02:36:209 (1) - being a copy-paste of 01:11:084 (1) - 01:30:115 (12) on the highest difficulty is unfitting because both sections are significantly different which creates a severe lack of contrast. The first section is following a mixture of beat and vocals in the map (regarding rhythm and placement emphasis), while the second one only follows beat. But the copy-paste makes some of the patterns (those more impacted by vocals) not feel connected to the music in the second part. Examples:

    - 01:21:584 (2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - the large amount of jumps here suddenly compared to the low spacing before only makes sense to emphasize the more articulated vocals, vs:
    - 02:27:584 (2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - in the later section which does not fit due to the beat still being the same as in the previous measures (and not following the new vocal layer either)

    - 01:23:084 (3,4) - 1/1s like these clearly follow the vocals too, to emphasize the articulation again. the beat also has a strong sound but it'd be better off represent with a slider similar to 01:20:084 (2) - , vs
    - 02:30:209 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,1,2) -this, which is now neither emphasizing vocals nor beat properly

    Since the instances where this issue applies are not limited to the above but rather to the whole section, we recommend a remap of the second section that follows both beat and vocals to fix this issue.
The beatmap may not be re-nominated at this time until appropriate changes are made that remedy the issues present.

Once changes have been made to the beatmap, both the Nominator who performed the beatmap veto, as well as the QAT members upholding it, will recheck the beatmap and decide individually if the issues have been satisfactorily addressed.

    - 02:27:584 (2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - in the later section which does not fit due to the beat still being the same as in the previous measures (and not following the new vocal layer either)

    - 01:23:084 (3,4) - 1/1s like these clearly follow the vocals too, to emphasize the articulation again. yes, the vocal does stop here. did I choose to place a circle because of vocals ending? no not really actually, the strong kick sound here is what mainly made me do it, but yes I thought it'd be nice in combination with the vocal ending here, hence why I think it works perfectly fine in the second section. the beat also has a strong sound but it'd be better off represent with a slider similar to 01:20:084 (2) - , the sounds are completely different so I really don't know why you think it would be better off like that.
    - 02:30:209 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,1,2) -this, which is now neither emphasizing vocals nor beat properly

Hello! thank you very much for looking at this and somehow trying to find reasons to keep the veto on here by deciding you know better than the mapper themselves what they mapped to.

that said, I did remap a few parts in the section along with fixing the stuff in normal as I thought letting this map die for such a stupid fucking reason is not worth it. hope it's okay now!!

unrelated to the veto stuff, did you ever consider mapping 03:14:459 (5,6,7,8) - 03:15:959 (5,6,7,8) - etc as doubles instead of circle+triple? the song has some really clear blue tick emphasis and the red tick don't have anything "special" since the hihats are on each 1/4 tick
basically something like https://i.imgur.com/KmZhrjI.jpg
would be really simple to change and make the unique rhythm in the song stand out much more

haven't thought about that at all actually, I'm not good with """"complicated"""" (not so complicated) rhythm but I guess I'll try this out

thanks!

o_O this is surprising.

Are you open for opinions on this?
Or do you not reconsider under any circumstance (both parties)?

[normal]
01:22:334 (4,7) - 01:33:021 (7,1) - 02:28:334 (4,7) - 03:12:584 (6,1) - btw i think you can clean these up
02:51:959 (6) - half of this thing is under the hp bar please come on what lol

01:00:209 - and the other newly mapped part, i think you can easily mix in 3/2 reversing sliders to provide some variety among the note placement, i think that would also make the part more interesting because it's not just remember what this rhtyhm is and execute it 5 times

[extra]
  1. 02:29:834 - did you accidentally delete something here?
  2. i dont know why this copy pasted section needs the contrast btw? it's still perfectly fitting to the backing instruments of the song and i didnt even notice that the first section that it's copied from is actually also mapping the vocals - i thought its just the backing sounds because that's what the mapper hitsounded
  3. the spacing issues brought up dont seem pressing enough to just stop the map over - like idk why these are so important and not like the spacing to 01:54:209 (1) - or whatever (hello 7x spacing can you please nerf this a bit)
overall idk what to think of this the main reasons for blocking this seem super nitpicky to me and considering the average map i looked at in recent times these diffs in question here aren't even all that stupid but uhhh

[Kaine]
  1. Hitsounding seems unfitting in the following sections: 00:12:209 - (a completely different rhythm from what you follow mainly is hitsounded as the only thing) 02:24:209 - 03:13:709 - (map vocals and hitsound anything but them)
  2. 00:21:959 (3,1) - should be more intense according to your own patterns in 00:09:959 (2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - i think that also would make sense for most other sections that use this, since the song builds up to those mainly and you spam the lamest ass rhythms over them that i could imagine
  3. 01:54:209 - this part has severe spacing problems like uhh... the song slows down, you go to pattern based mapping - which is fine - but it's huge af and contrasts what the song is providing in this section, especially jumps from 01:54:771 (2,3,1) - 01:56:271 (2,3,1) - 01:58:334 (3,1) - 01:59:271 (2,3,1) - 02:00:771 (2,3) - 02:06:209 (1,2) - 02:08:271 (2,3,1) - 02:13:334 (3,1) - are like super huge for the only reason of some symmetric pattern
  4. 02:24:209 - you kind of map vocals and fill the rest in with uhh idk what actually, i think if you were mapping vocals you should be mapping 02:26:271 - and the 3/4 for 02:24:209 (1,2,3) - way more clearly - right now you have like this super obvious vocal focus wit hthe reverse sliders and super unfitting filler rhythm thrown in - i think making it more clear what you're following is going to be easier to comprehend and wil lfeel more satisfying to play for this section
  5. 03:13:709 - that you just do the same thing as you did in the section before the kiai (which ironically the Extra now is vetoed for by the QAT but this diff isnt lul) is kind of lame? like you bring nothing new and you dont even do something remotely more interesting than the part you had previously (and the previous point also applies to it)
[lukas]
  1. 01:36:771 (2,3) - clean this up maybe? it looks pretty lol as is
  2. 02:45:209 (1) - this spinner is topkek levels of unfitting because it forces you to do something over the song literally fading out and isnt even silent or getting more silent its just like lul move your cursor as fast as you can on a fadeout

  3. 01:54:209 - this part has severe spacing problems like uhh... the song slows down, you go to pattern based mapping - which is fine - but it's huge af and contrasts what the song is providing in this section, especially jumps from 01:54:771 (2,3,1) - 01:56:271 (2,3,1) - 01:58:334 (3,1) - 01:59:271 (2,3,1) - 02:00:771 (2,3) - 02:06:209 (1,2) - 02:08:271 (2,3,1) - 02:13:334 (3,1) - are like super huge for the only reason of some symmetric pattern changed rhythms
  4. 02:24:209 - you kind of map vocals and fill the rest in with uhh idk what actually, i think if you were mapping vocals you should be mapping 02:26:271 - and the 3/4 for 02:24:209 (1,2,3) - way more clearly - right now you have like this super obvious vocal focus wit hthe reverse sliders and super unfitting filler rhythm thrown in - i think making it more clear what you're following is going to be easier to comprehend and wil lfeel more satisfying to play for this section same for here
  5. 03:13:709 - that you just do the same thing as you did in the section before the kiai (which ironically the Extra now is vetoed for by the QAT but this diff isnt lul) is kind of lame? like you bring nothing new and you dont even do something remotely more interesting than the part you had previously (and the previous point also applies to it) made the second part Complex but its completely different from before so honestly i have no idea :P

- 02:06:209 - changing to even more sliders (as in 1/1 sliderz) for this part would be a better way to vary your pattern i think

I also told Syph that hitsounds are

LUKAS
- 02:15:209 (1) - hitsound sliderticks are super loud maybe less loud
- 01:09:209 (1) - SAME
02:31:709 (1) - overlaps interface in the bottom on most setups
- REVERSE ARROW ON 02:23:459 (1) - IS WHAT

btw syph do you have permission to fix for this guy if yes why

Just commenting on how insanely terrifying the idea is on setting health loss to 5 on the easiest difficulty. Basically, if you miss one slider, you lose at least half of the health from your bar, and we have to keep in our minds that noobs are going to make waaaaay more misses and combo breaks than just a single one for the whole combo section, they are learning the basics of the game, for Lord's sake. Then HP on Normal is set to 3. What the hell happened there? All I wanted to do was to play some modern American pop map and then I noticed that in the qualified section...

BTW just a suggestion but why not just plain AR6.0 for Normal diff? I am sure it will fit just perfect + the difference from AR6 to AR8 to another difficulty is going to be nicer... and maybe lower OD on Easy, just because. xd

Hi there, seems like you have some missing hitsounds in some difficulties:

  1. All difficulties - 02:55:709 (4) - you've probably missed a Finish here since it's a strong downbeat and you added in similar sections like 03:01:709 (1) - 02:49:709 (1) - 03:07:709 (3) - etc.

  2. Insane - 02:36:771 (2) - this whole section has no hitsound. Probably because top diff didn't map this part and since you copy pasted the hitsounds, there was nothing to copy paste in this section. Just use your default drum sampleset with whistles or normal-hitnormal.

  3. Normal - 02:06:209 (1) - and this section also has no hitsounds.

  4. Easy - 02:36:209 (1) - this should have a Finish, if compared to other difficulties.

I felt like the drum wasn't as strong as the others which is why I didn't give it a finish
insane doesn't really need hitsounds there since it's such a quiet section anyways, I barely hitsounded the more quiet sections so
fair point
also fair point

if u really feel like a dq for this is neccesary then sure but I really don't see it as neccesary, it's just minor things
Chaoslitz
ye my major concern would be the the missing hitsounds in the normal diff starting at 02:06:209, no reason to leave it not hitsounded while the other diffs do
