・why all of that effort on sliderticks? you could simply use silent slidertick as you are not using silent sliderslidesilencing all ticks makes kinda no sense with tick rate 2. consider using tr1? this will also prevent forced sliderbreaks from this slider 06:03:285 (1) - since you just literally has 1st slidertick in the starting circle. and the sv could be a bit higher at least but uhhhhh it will break your neat looking of slider ;_; | actually I have yet to see anyone break on the long trainsqueak slider; they usually overwing at the start but breaking doesn't really happen - also, how'd tick 1 help with that? - I like TR2 since it gives you a visual when there's something going on on the weaker beats, without needing the audio impact. you know there's a 1/2 drum rhythm most of the time, so it's reassuring to see something being there and the numbers ticking up on it, but having the kind of "snazzy" ticksound (which quite frankly is just annoying) would just feel dissonant in the song. I don't want it /entirely/ gone but I prefer to have it near-unnoticably in the background, if that makes sense
and what caught my personal eye:
・07:51:947 (6) - i am pretty sure this slider goes offscreen
| moved the pattern a bit to the side (4-5 is now an 1.8x jump), works and looks fine like this - also delivers the pressure more efficiently on 5
・01:35:004 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - this part was pretty late by timing for some reason. its greatly noticeable there 01:41:424 (1) - and on sliders/notes previously. i am not really good in timing, but if to play objects from there on 1/16 grey ticks, it would sounds better. maybe this calm part needs an addidional timing point? | trying to catch Charles but it seems as though I do not have the badge required as to control him yet
・probably the epilepsy warning is needed here? o.o due to those white bursts at ~50% of the diff | don't think so since it's not repetitive; if it was multiple in a row, sure
・04:51:689 (9) - if possible, would be better if you could make the emphazis on this note, if the shape of slider started to change from 9 (or from 13 ), not from 04:51:856 (11) - , it would be more natural to play, since 9 is on white tick and having such stuff started from stronger beat is way better to play than from weaker one | did change stuff about
・05:03:939 (8,9) - this will be pain in ass to catch ._... if this 05:03:022 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - structure could be placed a bit down and 9 from 05:03:856 (7,8,9) - would be placed between 8 and 9, instead of 10, i believer it would be a bit less pain to catch and well, overall more comfortable to follow | sometimes, pain is good (changed spacing on the 1-2-3-4 sliders to 1.8x and lowered the 5-6-7-8 part to make it 1.8x aswell; should be a bit easier now while keeping the feel)
・06:41:547 (2,3,4,5,6) - 06:47:947 (2,3,4,5) - the same recommendating will go here from me when you caught me ingame, these objects are barely hearable | I'm actually fine with that since the song doesn't deliver a whole lot of impact here; having hitsounds be much louder than the "bare audible minimum" for this section'd feel dissonant with how the feeling of the music goes; maybe I'll try +5/7% or something - let's talk about that on IRC
・07:24:347 (9) - same as 04:51:689 (9) - here. i was always mes on such thing, honestly.. if 9 was more below, like 8 is placed now, it would much more natural to follow. i could suggest adding 1 note before the 07:23:547 (1) - , so placement changing wont need any effort | actually, I really like this one since 9 is when you engage into the upwards motion again - 3-4-5-6 are upwards, 6-7-8 then go down, then you start the upwards curve on the beat of 9 again rather than after it; if I put 9 at the furthest-down point, you'd change your direction of movement after the click instead - also, it contributes to fluidity a lot for me

Sad day.
I don't design my maps for modplay either but if it's just and only HP drain, I am okay with it- keep in mind the slider will still punish you (hard) if you screw up right before it, it's just not gonna kill you 100% on it's own but drag you down to ~25-30% instead; won't change a whole lot for nomod play actually, I believe.

Hi Jenny,
We need to disqualify your map due to the massive slowdown slider. Try to make the transition more natural as it is very abrupt as it stands (nearly a magnitude of difference between the BPM and velocity change). A word of advice for your future maps: if you plan on making a slider such as this, I highly recommend that you try to stay within the bounds of the editor first, then look to options beyond it after exhausting standard means. You have .75x available that haven't been used that could also help towards transitioning to this long slider.
Some additional notes:
Your stack leniency is set really low, but there weren't any patterns that really require that and your consecutive 1/2 stacks weren't stacking properly. You should raise this if you don't have any advanced patterns that require this setting.
If possible, could you reduce the intensity of the white transition flashes in the storyboard?
I had a few issues seeing the brown combo color against the cloudy background, but others were fine with it.

I'd also argue that the slow but steadily (and quite aggressive) "train squeaking", as I call it, does call for exactly this: a very very slowly progressing hold note, one that forces you to focus again.
This part doesn't sound appropriate for either the glorious "fix-it-all spinner" (since it's a slow and grinding note- seriously, who's mind goes "LET'S SPIN AS FAST AS POSSIBLE RIGHT NOW" when hearing this part?) or a breaktime (break, no pressure at all, no focus, take the pen off the tablet or hand off the mouse, what does it matter what happens, it's a faqqing breaktime) - it's a tense moment between the two sections and that's why it draws so much attention and focus.
One shouldn't be obliged to chose between following/complimenting the music and getting their map ranked, specifically when it's about such a trivial issue, which isn't even one for most people playing (and succeeding at) the map in question, but that's my opinion.

Since this got dq'd. I'd like to point out there's an incorrect timing point about 2/3rds of the song during the 13/25% section. One of the heads is 13% making it impossible to hear. Not to mention that whole section is wxtremely quiet and should be raised.
I'll link the specific spot when I get home if you can't find it. I'm at work right now though.

The map was already DQ'd one time because of that slider. How is it possible that it took the QAT team 6 days to notice that the slider was still the same?
Also, it doesn't really make sense that the reason for DQ is partly based on an untrue statement (there is a slowdown that uses 0.75x contrary to what the post says). The stack leniency setting has no effect on the map itself so it cannot be a reason for disqualification, neither the white flashes in the storyboard. I haven't heard players complaining about that slider, either. This leaves us with nothing warranting a DQ.
I hope that this is an April fools joke because if it isn't, it might be the most unreasonable disqualification in a long time. If you just want to DQ it, please at least try to find a better argument for the reason to do so.

different reasons? first DQ was for too drain being too high on HR (fixed by adjusting HP), second was due to 'abruptness'. the slider being the same has no connection to both DQs.joolomasta wrote: 54666m

Actually the first DQ was because I asked for it since there was repeated interest in making the map able on HR; the slider didn't play any role in that at all.
@Lanturn: 06:42:555 (5) - if this is the slider you mean, sure I can fix that. won't for now though, no changes until this entire thing is cleared up.
I had an argument to back my opinion. How you simply dismiss it as "QAT hate" and ignore the argument itself is not how civilised people discuss. You may disagree with me and that's fine but please at least provide a reason you do so instead of trying to play me down. If those points were just additional notes, they should not cause a DQ.handsome wrote: 483w1s
fuel your QAT hate somewhere else.(quite sure garven meant using more of the playfield for the slider, not SV)
I'm not hating the QATs but i'm questioning the decision made here.
If the DQ is due to the potential readability issues of the .1x SV, then I think the best solution is to stack 06:02:855 (4,5,1) - . This provides nearly half a second of stationary cursor, which is more than enough for the player to make any adjustments to an SV drop.
If the issue is because the SV is below editor boundaries, then you should probably just cut the slider at like 06:09:337 or so. I know that's not what you want to happen, but imo a 15 second long slider is pretty silly. Cutting it at around where the guitar echo dies out gives close to the feeling of intensity you're looking for while not being obnoxiously long and taking up a ton of the screen after the mandatory change to .5x SV.

What do you suggest then? Criticizing and not giving any suggestion that would work better considering the comment from the mapper won't help much.Ash Marley wrote: 6z2n2m
That slider was ridiculous anyway. You shouldn't need to slider break on a sightread because the mapper made an out of place sudden super slowed down slider after a 2000+ combo. WWW minus 1 because of that unnecessary change in velocity. I'm sure many more messed up by that out of the blue slider.

Good evening everyone,
We've cleaned non constructive posts from this topic.
Please, this topic sould be useful for the mapper. At least, give a constructed opinion about the beatmap and not about a player's performance.
I know it's April 1st but you guys should avoid doing that again or we'll need to take actions against some s / locking this topic in the worst case.
Keep in mind that getting a map disqualified isn't something bad, we all want to see ranked/approved beatmaps which will be enjoyed by as many s as possible.
Thank you!

i'm not really on anyone's side but this isn't a very good way to determine SV at all. if you checked ingame the ticks appear slowly after the slider appears, it isn't too reliable as a reading tool. plus the first few points are on the sliderhead itself, not much you can see about that.[ Manoa ] wrote: 4e4750
There's a skinnable thing called "sliderscorepoint" if you can see a slow slider coming with many of these points, you should change it and learn not only to read circles and sliders but also those tiny circles inside
Just throwing this out there but since your intention was to force players to focus on the extended 0.1x slider, why not use a fancier slider than a simple curve with 3 control points? With such a straight-forward slider, once you've landed it, that's basically it for the slider experience because its so linear. Varying the slider path would also force players to focus on playing out the slider, not just landing it.
Either ways though, I felt the slow-down in both spacing and SV was adequate leading up to the slider so best of luck re-ranking this!
RIP 600 pp though lol~

Good is a very subjective term anyways.
Also @handsome sliderpoints are one of the main elements to determine SV changes lol.
I don't know why everyone is complaining suddenly, the slider fits way better than a spinner or a break, since there's an actual, intense-ish sound to be covered.

this isn't really related to the slider being good/bad, but the 114bpm timing point at 06:03:021 might be wrong
if you were to remove the 114bpm point and add a 150bpm point at 06:04:355, you could hear that the guitar is 1/2 spam and there's bass on every measure's downbeat. the long slider's initial snapping may be ambiguous with this though, so i dunno what you'd do there. thought it would be worth mentioning at least

Also, #modhelp pointed something out:...
The discussions that came from this map is the reason that ended up getting reviewed and posted, haha.
Anyway, I have talked with Jenny a little bit on IRC and we will do a full discussion when we can. To reiterate: the DQ issue is the transition to the long slow slider - everything else is tertiary.
A good solution was posted earlier by UndeadCapulet about stacking, or you can look into using a gradual slowdown instead of sticking to .75x during the part before the slider so that you don't have such a drastic speed change.

Exactly this.deathmarc4 wrote: 574p41
Have people forgotten how to read sv? I've gotten jipped by other maps with "random" slow sliders (cough wahrheit cough) enough times to learn when to expect them and how to deal with them. It's just another aspect of reading the map.
People forget that reading is comprised of completely separate components. Humans are exceptional at recognizing patterns and we rely on audio and visual cues to deduce these patterns. I played through this map with no clue on where the slider would be, how fast the SV was set at or even what shape the slider was. When it came up I didn't break on it.
Why is this?
When I came to the aforementioned slider I had already subconsciously inferred that this was a slow section. I could understand the QATs reasoning if the slider was immediately after the fast streaming portion earlier in the song, but it's not. Instead it comes after long slow sliders and notes spaced so far apart, it's the equivalent of a 3-4 star song.
Look at this!
Not to mention that you have to be moving very quickly to break on the slider. Faster even than the previous sliders. So even if you assumed that the SV on this slider was equivalent to the SV on the previous sliders, you won't break. If you do, then you probably shouldn't be playing this song with your poor reading skills. It's obvious instantly that the slider is incredibly slow and the 'break circumference' is big enough so you have just enough time to realize this.
Check this picture out. Look how far my cursor is away from the center of the slider circle and I still haven't ruined my combo. If you broke on this slider, you're either not paying enough attention or your reading is poor. So poor that you probably shouldn't be playing this song. I'm absolutely certain that anyone who can the extreme streams in this song can has a reaction time of less than a second.
Beatmapping has evolved in the past few years significantly and will certainly continue too, but disqualifications like this only hinder this evolution to a point that mapping now seems so uniform and invariable that it's almost impossible to tell the difference between mappers. Especially for a player like me who's not into the mapping community. I strongly disagree with this disqualification as it ruins the character of the map and corrupts the mappers style. With a DQ like this, I'm sure that Jenny won't try anything similar to this in the future which is sad. It's a real shame that mappers these days are terrified to try anything new because of the looming force with trigger fingers that we call QATs. I dream of a day when I don't open up /r/osugame to "X has been disqualified!". With 11 ranked beatmaps, I'm sure Jenny knows what she is doing.
How about 95% of the testplays I requested and watched, then? :pAsh Marley wrote: 6z2n2m
Neither is your 1 example of your personal experience then.
Also, every player has bad days or can have misguided assumptions about map and song every once in a while, don't make it seam like WWW is an exception from that because frankly, he isn't. His error rate is really low but it definitely is still there, as we can see from examples like these.
Plus, mind you, how frequent do these scenarios appear? Not very often tbh, considering most maps (and modplays) these days are mostly aimed at high speed rather than go in detail to the song's happenings. This is a non-osu!stereotypical song, so it is also to be played and viewed as such; if you slip back to jumpspam TV Size habits midway through even though the map should have told you better than doing that at this point, you sadly just failed at keeping your composure, which is a key part of playing lengthy maps.
reply to Litharrale, just clarification / not relevant to discussion
Ranked beatmaps don't really mean much, considering some people still don't understand the concept and active-ive hitsounding after ranking 20-100 mapsets; it's more about continuously working to improve on what you're doing and actively seeking discussion and better solutions than what you already have (even if it may work "well enough"), which I've been trying to do for the past four years, and that's the key to this- it's not 11 ranked mapsets assigned to my name, it's me having mapped over 400 difficulties and consistently trying to outdo myself and make as muich sense in what I put in them as possible.
Just wanted to clarify those things, no personal offense implied.
Sounds like you don't know who I am - just about everything I touch is "too far for it's times"/"out of the box"/"awkward" and it generally results in a shitstorm or DQ, or at least when I don't pick a very plain song to map :pLitharrale wrote: 1j262v
