1. Did you try using a silent sliderslide? Matches better with the song, imo, but up to you ofc! c:
2. You could also tweak your combo colours to match the background better. o:
   my suggestion

   

   [Colours]
   Combo1 : 75,129,154
   Combo2 : 182,214,202
   Combo3 : 89,171,183
   Combo4 : 200,200,200

1. 00:09:756 (1,2) - doesn't make sense to have this different from all previous patterns, so consider changing this to slider+circle, too. (Would also match better since the sound on the white tick is much louder > having a strong beat clickable is better than having it on a sliderend!)
2. 00:16:756 (1) - starting here I think the diff lacks rhythmical structure. There are several identical sounds that are sometimes mapped with a circle or with a slider or are not mapped at all.. overall, that gives a very random feeling and I think you still can improve this. o: If you want to re-structure these parts and need help feel free to send me a pm!
3. Also, pay attention that you don't use too many clickable objects in a row, especially if they're 1/2s! Like 00:31:756 (1,2,3,4) - for example, even players on a Normal skill level still struggle sometimes with tapping consistently, especially if there only seldomly is a 1/2 break between patterns.
4. And then please make your NC pattern consistent. Sometimes you use NC on each downbeat, then on each second beat.. it should be consistent troughout the diff.
5. 01:12:756 (1,2,1) - since 1/4 can be confusing, I think it's better to not map them in Normals unless it's only the reverse that's snapped to 1/4.. but here there's no other way, so hmmh. If you decide to change SV to 1.2 then this http://puu.sh/qqUtz.jpg could work, because the slider is long enough for players to realize how many reverses there are.. if you keep SV of 1.0 then the slider might be too short, so it would be better to keep it as it is then.

General

1. Did you try using a silent sliderslide? Matches better with the song, imo, but up to you ofc! c: at the end of the map I used Soft http://puu.sh/qqWT7/d9ef100a31.jpg but I do not know why to use it in other parts of the map
2. You could also tweak your combo colours to match the background better. o: Done
   my suggestion

   Combo1 : 75,129,154

Easy
Hmh, before I talk about rhythm/flow etc, you should re-consider your setting in this diff, I think.
Overlaps can be very confusing for beginner players, so it's better to avoid them. Since even your 1/1s overlap, I suggest changing Slidervelocity to 0.8 and Distance Spacing to 1.2. That ofc means re-structuring the whole diff, bust it'll be worth it. Ok, soon I will change the map with these requirements

Some patterns for comparison:
http://puu.sh/qqSI3.jpg > http://puu.sh/qqSC0.jpg
http://puu.sh/qqSGb.jpg > http://puu.sh/qqSF3.jpg
http://puu.sh/qqSUo.jpg > http://puu.sh/qqSWq.jpg I understand

Normal
It's similar in Normal, I think 1.2 SV and 1.4 DS would match better, because longer patterns like 00:18:756 (1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5) - for example loose structure if all objects are glued together. >: That's up to you to decide, of course! I will correct

1. 00:09:756 (1,2) - doesn't make sense to have this different from all previous patterns, so consider changing this to slider+circle, too. (Would also match better since the sound on the white tick is much louder > having a strong beat clickable is better than having it on a sliderend!)

Like 00:31:756 (1,2,3,4) - for example, even players on a Normal skill level still struggle sometimes with tapping consistently, especially if there only seldomly is a 1/2 break between patterns.
4. And then please make your NC pattern consistent. Sometimes you use NC on each downbeat, then on each second beat.. it should be consistent troughout the diff.
5. 01:12:756 (1,2,1) - since 1/4 can be confusing, I think it's better to not map them in Normals unless it's only the reverse that's snapped to 1/4.. but here there's no other way, so hmmh.

Okay, I will change this diff. I do not know how can put SV and DS . Now I realized that I could increase their.

It's just more basic things I pointed out, but I hope it helps you!
You can also apply some of this to the two higher diffs (like NCs and identical rhythms = same objects). in normal difficulty, I used a new combo for patterns

Yup with that said, I think this should be polished some more before it gets pushed to qualified, but it definitely has a lot of potential, so keep it up! :3

1. add "Nick Kaelar Pittsinger" to tags, because artist?
   also "volume" in addition to "vol." and maybe "cut version" since this isn't full length. (You might also want to add this to the description?)

1. Did you consider using a custom diffname for this? "Silence" would match nicely imo, but just a suggestion. c:
2. 00:00:756 (1,2,1,2,1,2,3) - consider unifying the rhythm? The third one stands out so much, it's not different from the other two tho.. I think using just circles for all three would match the difficulty better.. you already used the 1/2 slider + circle pattern in Normal so might be more fitting for the spread.
3. 00:08:756 - hitsound volume is a little too low, raise it slightly to make hitsounds better audible?
4. 00:10:256 (3,4) - should be a slider, just like 00:09:256 (3) - because there is no single sound on (4), it's just the ongoing sound of (3), which is better represented by a slider
5. 00:11:256 (2,1) - distance seems a bit exaggerated, considering this is a rather calm part. Could you move (1) a bit closer to (2)? or maybe a pattern like http://puu.sh/qz0jK.jpg would work nicely.
6. 00:17:756 (4) - hmh, doesn't match with your previous NC pattern to not have NC here.. there should be one on each white tick, no? So this, 00:19:756 (4) - 00:21:756 - etc should all have NC
7. 00:18:756 (1,2,3) - strong beat is currently on the sliderend, feels a little weird while playing, so consider using 1/2 sider first and the two circles? Or alternatively, use two 1/2 sliders, 00:19:756 (4,5,6,7) - has more impact then, like you did here 00:26:756 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) -
   similar for 00:21:256 (3,4) - , just switch them around to better emphaisze the strong beat
   also similar here 00:29:256 (3,4) -
8. 00:22:756 (1,2,3) - consider mapping (1,2) with a short stream like 00:19:756 (4,5,6,7) - , its the only pattern like this in the non-Kiai part and really stands out which doesn't make too much sense. >:
9. 00:24:256 (1) - doesn't need NC, remove it? o:
10. 00:32:756 - hitsound volume is way too quiet here! Players always need feedback on clickable objects so raise to volume here so they can hear the hitsounds better, please!
    You should also think about removing 00:34:756 (5,6) - , because the sounds are barely audible and I think you could put much better emphasis on 00:35:756 (1) - by having this little gap before.
11. 00:36:756 - how about starting with 1.25 SV instead of 1.5? Then you could turn 00:44:756 - into 1.5, 00:52:756 - into 1.75 and add another timing section at 01:00:756 - for 2.0 SV?
    You could also add Kiai fountains at each SV change, just end Kiai at 00:44:506 - and start again at 00:44:756 - (similar at the other parts). You'd have to apply this change with Kiai to all diffs, tho, because they have to be consistent.
12. 01:12:756 (1,2,3,4,5) - why are all of them 1/4? I can clearly here the sound going on after each object, all of them should be 1/2 I think. ( > http://puu.sh/qz1oR.jpg ) o.o Otherwise you might want to consider silcening all of their sliderends to represent the song better..?
13. 01:15:006 (1) - could you snap the spinner to the 1/4 before, so there's no gap between the hitobject and the spinner?

1. 00:10:256 (3,4) - similar as in Insane, turn them into a slider? Or use another two sliders like 00:08:756 (1,2) - since it's the same rhythm twice. (Or if you want to have this different from all following patterns, use circle+circle+slider two times, like in Insane?)
2. 00:14:256 (2,1) - considering the previous distances, they are a little too close. How about moving (1) to 58|271? And 00:15:256 (2) - to 223|256?
3. 00:16:756 (1) - and similar long sliders feel slightly off because you ignore the strong sound on the red tick.. how about turning all of them into 1/2 reverse sliders to match the song better? 00:24:756 (1) - 00:36:756 (1) - 00:38:756 (1) -
4. 00:17:756 - same about NC pattern change here as in Insane, should be on each second white tick.
5. 01:11:756 (1,2,3) - I think there's a circle missing at 01:12:131 - , cause there's another sound. If you consider this too complicated, you could use a 1/4 slider with two reverses instead.

1. 00:16:756 (1) - 00:24:756 (1) - 00:36:756 (1) - etc same about the long 1/1 sliders as in Hard, turn into 1/2 reverse sliders?
2. 00:17:756 (3,4) - a) same about NCs as in higher diffs, they really should be more consistent. s:
   b) example for less 1/2s: http://puu.sh/qz3gJ.jpg since the same rhythm repeats.
   same could be done here ofc 00:24:756 (1,2,3,4) -
3. 00:29:506 (3) - random whistle on sliderbody?
4. 01:08:756 (1,2,3,4) - feels a little weird, because there are no sounds on the blue ticks except for the 4th one.. :/ would be better to turn this into 1/2 sliders, except for the 4th, should be 3/4 slider.
5. 01:12:756 (1,2,3) - pattern should be reversed, imo. So players get to know the 3/4 rhythm because of the sliders, before they have to click the circle.

1. 00:00:756 (1,2,3) - now this is very simplified.. did you try 1/2 reverse sliders instead yet? They would match the melody and it's a nice way to add some more 1/2s to this diff.
2. 00:22:756 (3,4,5) - reverse slider feels very random, because of barely used 1/2s.. how about turning (4,5) into 1/2 sliders? Would also cover the sounds on the other ticks nicely. (could be applied to other parts as well)
3. 00:36:756 (1) - 00:44:756 (1) - etc try 1/1+reverse instead, same reason as for the 1/1s in N/H
4. 01:12:756 (5) - missing NC

overall the set looks much better, might need another recheck or two and then this should be polished enough. :3

owo .. good luck! XD

1. 00:03:756 - Why did you ignore this? Even though it's not as strong sound as others IMO it could have been mapped anyways with lower hiotsound volumes
2. 00:14:756 (1) - pretty nazi I know but middleanchor to x:68 y:120 for totally perfect blanket
3. 00:27:756 (5) - I think this looks better if slider would point straight up and not sloping
4. You use NC on these 00:10:756 (1) - 00:14:756 (1) -
   But not on these 00:18:756 (3) - 00:22:756 (3) - 00:26:756 (3) - 00:30:756 (3) - why? It's not really consistent imo
5. 01:12:756 (1) - Are you trying to do this symmetrical..? If so then last red anchor to x:304 y:164
   and last white anchor to x:368 y:184
   Only thing that left me a bit sad in this diff was lack of straight/sharply curved sliders :/ almost all of those were just curved sliders

1. 00:03:756 - Same thing as in easy
2. 00:00:756 (1,2,1,2,1,2) - Imo NC isn't necessary here 00:02:756 (1) - except NC:ing would work o this note if you would ad one more triple behind these
3. 00:10:756 (1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2) - these whistles sound horrible here to be honest. You either should delete whistles from those sliderslides or get some special sound to it from somewhere
4. 00:19:006 (2) - 00:20:256 (5) - 00:21:506 (3) - and so on.. Why don't you have whistles in sliderheads even though there is drumbeat?
   
5. 01:14:756 (1) - why not note here and start spinner at 01:15:006 - ? Would work better

1. 00:03:756 - Same thing as in easy/normal
2. 00:00:756 (1,2,1,2,1,2) - Imo NC isn't necessary here 00:02:756 (1) - except NC:ing would work o this note if you would ad one more triple behind these
3. 00:21:756 (3) - This slider is really ugly, you should make sharper edges or just somehow fix that to prettier one, it is just so ugly rn
4. 00:22:256 (4) - same
5. 00:23:256 (2,3) - way too big jump here, ruins consistency
6. 00:30:756 (1,2) - these have 2.9x space between, and 00:31:756 (3,4,5,6) - these 1.5-2x, incosistency..
7. 00:36:756 (1) - ctrl + shift + r and -45 degrees, looks a lot better
8. 00:36:756 (1) - 00:51:256 (2) - between these 2 sliders I can only encounter 2 circles? Pretty boring to do half of kiai time with only sliders
9. 00:56:756 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - suddenly really low spacing?
10. 01:05:756 (1) - why NC?
11. 01:14:756 (1) - why not note here and start spinner at 01:15:006 - ? Would work better
    A lot of inconsistency

1. 00:35:756 (1) - replace with spinner/slider? Would work a LOT better
   This map looked so much fun! Nothing to say here I like this

   But not on these 00:18:756 (3) - 00:22:756 (3) - 00:26:756 (3) - 00:30:756 (3) - why? It's not really consistent imo I map is divided into 2 parts, the slow part and the main part (in slow part put NC every 2 white ticks. Main part put NC every 4 white ticks)
5. 01:12:756 (1) - Are you trying to do this symmetrical..? If so then last red anchor to x:304 y:164
   and last white anchor to x:368 y:184
   Only thing that left me a bit sad in this diff was lack of straight/sharply curved sliders :/ almost all of those were just curved sliders

[Normal]

1. 00:03:756 - Same thing as in easy
2. 00:00:756 (1,2,1,2,1,2) - Imo NC isn't necessary here 00:02:756 (1) - except NC:ing would work o this note if you would ad one more triple behind these
3. 00:10:756 (1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2) - these whistles sound horrible here to be honest. You either should delete whistles from those sliderslides or get some special sound to it from somewhere remade
   
4. 00:19:006 (2) - 00:20:256 (5) - 00:21:506 (3) - and so on.. Why don't you have whistles in sliderheads even though there is drumbeat?
   
5. 01:14:756 (1) - why not note here and start spinner at 01:15:006 - ? Would work better

no

[Hard]

1. 00:03:756 - Same thing as in easy/normal
2. 00:00:756 (1,2,1,2,1,2) - Imo NC isn't necessary here 00:02:756 (1) - except NC:ing would work o this note if you would ad one more triple behind these
3. 00:21:756 (3) - This slider is really ugly, you should make sharper edges or just somehow fix that to prettier one, it is just so ugly rn it's normal sliders
4. 00:22:256 (4) - same it's normal sliders
5. 00:23:256 (2,3) - way too big jump here, ruins consistency He is not very big
6. 00:30:756 (1,2) - these have 2.9x space between, and 00:31:756 (3,4,5,6) - these 1.5-2x, incosistency.. a jump from the slider
   
7. 00:36:756 (1) - ctrl + shift + r and -45 degrees, looks a lot better ok
8. 00:36:756 (1) - 00:51:256 (2) - between these 2 sliders I can only encounter 2 circles? Pretty boring to do half of kiai time with only sliders
9. 00:56:756 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - suddenly really low spacing? yes, low spacing
10. 01:05:756 (1) - why NC? remove
11. 01:14:756 (1) - why not note here and start spinner at 01:15:006 - ? Would work better
    A lot of inconsistency

[Silent]

1. 00:35:756 (1) - replace with spinner/slider? Would work a LOT better i delete circle
   This map looked so much fun! Nothing to say here I like this

There you go, hope this helps!

• Those diffs seem fine to me, apart from the issues mentioned above.

1. 00:20:506 (6,1) - Since you have low spacing between these objects, it would be a good idea to have low spacing between 00:20:006 (4,5) - too. It would also improve the flow if you change it like this: http://puu.sh/qAOf1/7cdd1cc4ad.jpg
2. 00:29:256 (3,4,5,1) - It feels kind of weird to have the big spacings between (3,4,5) and then a low spacing with a weird flow transition to (1). Maybe you could change (1) like this, to fix this problem: http://puu.sh/qAOn1/2a2a626528.jpg

1. 00:15:756 (1,2,3,4) - Rather minor, but you could make this a perfect parallelogram by copy-pasting (1,2): http://puu.sh/qAOt0/5d501cfaf0.jpg

You don't need 'instrumental' in the tags, because it will be set as genre in the beatmap listing, and therefore act as a valid search term for this mapset already. ok . i removed

Your kiai time is very long, it is almost half of the map. Due to the length, kiai time loses its effect basically, so it would be better to reduce it. What I would recommend you is to get rid of the long kiais and instead use kiai fountains.
Kiai fountain means you enable kiai for strong beats, in this case 00:36:756 - 00:44:756 - 00:52:756 - 01:00:756 - , and you disable it again shortly after (1/4-tick later): http://puu.sh/qAO58/542ed17b7c.jpg In that way, you will have the kiai fountain that always appears at the beginning of a kiai to stress these notes, but you won't have the kiai stars etc. being generated the whole time. done

I'm worrying a bit about the difficulty spread, because Normal and Hard have almost the same density. The difficulty gaps E -> N and N -> H are still kind of the same size, because E -> N is a huge step up in density and N -> H is a huge step up in spacing (aka jumps). However, I would still recommend you to implement some 1/1-gaps into Normal, as it's currently a giant chain of 1/2-objects which doesn't provide much variety, and can be very demanding for Normal difficulty players. 1/1-gaps will create some breathing time.

You could replace those objects in Normal with a single circle to do that:
00:20:756 - 00:28:756 - 00:40:756 - 00:48:756 - 00:56:756 - 01:04:756 - done

Also, you need to get rid of the 1/4-repeat-sliders. They are way too complicated to read for this difficulty due to their short length and they will most likely confuse players. They 'could' actually be fine with a little break afterwards, but within the consecutive rhythm of the map they are a no-no. I will give some rhythm suggestions how to replace them:
00:23:756 (4,5) - Those could be replaced with single 1/1 circles, so you keep the stress. You could even use a bit higher spacing between them to stress these beats even more. That will be an alternative without requiring 1/4-sliders. http://puu.sh/qANSb/d947b3397a.jpg
00:31:756 (3,4) - Here, since it's the end of the section, you could in theory use the last one, but since it's the same sound as the ones before it wouldn't make much sense. What I recommend you here is to use the same rhythm as in Easy: http://puu.sh/qANUd/9d1a195a58.jpg
01:11:756 (4) - You could replace this one with a 1/2-slider. The emphasized sounds from 01:08:756 (1,2,3) - are still the same, there is just the 1/4 added, which you can ignore in Normal. Reworked it

---

The Easy difficulty is fine, however the rhythm is very repetetive at parts where it is just a giant chain of 1/1-objects, similar to what Normal does with 1/2. You could add in a few 2/1-sliders to vary the rhythm ( http://puu.sh/qANrb/f7643a1a9c.jpg ), for example from 00:18:756 - , 00:38:756 - and 00:54:756 - , so this difficulty will be more interesting to play for newbies. I do not think that it makes diff of the more interesting. Also a novice will not understand why put there is a long slider

As you can see, there is not much to specifically point out anymore, as this mapset is already quite polished and received enough mods. However, there are still fundamental issues with the spread etc., as I pointed out above, which should be adressed before this gets bubbled. If you need any help applying these things or discussing them, feel free to talk to me ingame about it. I am also willing to help with the nomination of this mapset once those issues are adressed.

For now, good luck! :3

Can we take a moment and talk about it, I've a few things to ask/comment on. I would like to hear some feedback on the following ideas.

The E>N>H spread could be improved a lot by nerfing the amount of 1/2 bbeats in Normal and lowering the number of jumps in Hard. This would actually improve the whole set, making the difficulty progression more enjoyable to the player. Let me clarify that.

Normal feels somewhat overdone with the intense amount of 1/2s, and rare 1/1 inclusions make it feel rather random, than actually help the spread. Just to give you some examples, 00:10:756 (1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,5,1) - 00:41:256 (2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,5,6,1) - these extreme 1/2 chains mixed with 1/1 gaps make the rhythm feel like stumbling points. What would actually improve the situation is the rhythm built around shifting 1/1 and 1/2s. For example, 00:10:756 (1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,3,4) - the intro can be more 1/1 based, or you can use graduate rhythm escalation, to introduce the upcoming 1/2 parts better. Here's a quick example of what could be done. Then, some circles like 00:19:506 (3) - or 00:22:006 (4) - 00:26:006 (3) - and such can be removed, to give more emphasis to the 1/2 sliders and the beats they are going with. This would help to work with the rhythm of the song, creating more variety and emphasising the actual rhythm a lot better, while also making a diff feel more pleasant and playable.

Personally, I've expected a lot less intense Normal for a song like this. The structure of the music calls for something "Epic Slow heroic" as your own tags suggest, hence, making the Normal built around intense 1/2s does not feel right. But this would require some changes to the Hard difficulty as well in order to improve the spread. So, let us talk about it as well.

What I really don't get with the Hard is the usage of high DS values like x1.8, mixed with really low ones. Just to name a few examples, 00:45:256 (2,3) - and 00:53:256 (2,3) - follow the same beat but the spacing emphasis is completely different. Then again, 00:57:756 (3,4,5,6,1) - the spacing goes down to x0.8 mid-pattern, making the whole combo feel a lot slower than the similar ones 01:04:756 (1,2,3,4). Those low spacing patterns make the whole spacing choice feel unreasonable, as you keep shifting from high DS jumps to low DS patterns while following the same music structures, or this is how I feel the difficulty, at least.

The solution to this would be re-adjusting the spacing to some neutral values like x1,2 on average and using x2.0 or something around that jumps to stress the downbeats and probably add some jumps on the beats that you emphasize with clap hitsounds. This would make the spacing match music in a more accurate way, improving the feedback players get from the hitobject a lot.

Summing it up, we would get more accurate rhythm progression through the set and introduce the jumpy structure of the Insane a lot better, while also resolving a lot of inconsistencies within the set itself.

Nevertheless, this is a pretty impressive set for the first ranked map, I've actually liked a lot of your patterns. Congratulations on getting your first heart!

If anything is unclear or needs clarification - feel free to ask me and I'll gladly elaboratethese ideas. Also, it seems like both I and the mapper speak Russian, so if a Russian translation is needed I will gladly provide one for better communication,

That's an amazing beatmap ! But the "Hard" difficulty is clearly not 3.something stars, it should be like 2.5

I made it pretty easily where I can't beat most 2.9

1. 00:23:256 (2,3) - seem to be a bit too close, no? How about switching places of (3) and (5) so they're further apart?
   (You'd have to put 00:24:756 (1) - somewhere else then, tho, cause of the overlap with (3/5))
2. 00:25:756 (3,4,5) - here the movement feels a bit weird to me, how about moving (4) to 96|32 to keep it smooth?
3. also, these sliders 00:21:756 (3,4,1) - look so much different from all the others, it seems a bit odd. I think would be more consistent if you used more standard shapes for these three, but that's up to you ofc c:

1. 00:13:756 (2) - was this ctrl+g'ed by accident? Movement is a bit awkward and DS doesn't match either (not really an issue since there is enough time in between, but still). So ya, I'd prefer if this was reversed
2. 00:31:756 (3) - shouldn't this be a slider because of the ongoing sound there?
3. 01:07:756 (3,4,1) - imo the stack can look really confusing, so it might be better to unstack them. D: example: http://puu.sh/qMRvA.jpg (you'd have to adjust distance of (2) then)
