Personal opinion. Good start.

nuclear blast isn't even the end game of difficulty, you comparing your pack to that kinda shows just how much you know about the spectrum of files out there tbh.

The end game difficulty is about a 0 because you win when you quit.

your point of "making the simfile pack a "boss rush" just means there's harder than average simfiles in the pack that are meant to test you." can be replaced with literally any other pack name. what makes your pack different from the rest is that you're trying to replicate the niche difficulty inbetween like D3 and D5+ from the looks of it, and naming the pack "boss rush" literally makes no sense

Oh no he's making a pack that caters to a level that's not mine. Guess it's not that much of a test, even though to other users, it actually is, and it gives the correct feeling the pack's name is. But no your pack name should be more like "Boss Rush (D3-D5 ONLY PLZ)"

i'm half assuming you're not going to change the pack name because 1) you're too stubborn to listen now that you've tried to unsuccessfully try and refute points, and 2) because you already made graphics for it

1. Wait, what points again? The ones of an arrogant player who is just trying to change the name, based on the fact the pack's lowest standard of acceptance in terms of difficulty, is too easy for them despite rates being an option people use? I don't actually see any valid point in this post. 2. Not actually at all relevant, and TBH any artist in Photoshop saves stuff in layers so modifying text isn't usually that hard, but I dunno why I'd expect you to know that.

..

Let me summarize how I feel on this:

1. The notion that a boss rush has to be at the "end" is silly. You can have a rush of bosses before the end of the game. In a game like Stepmania where the options of difficulty are endless, you can't even really define a proper "end difficulty" anyways.
2. His abilities as an artist have zero to do with the fucking pack name, stop being a cunt.
3. You're so hung up that the files don't cater towards the higher end of the spectrum. Why does the name imply it needs to be of a certain nature? If you compared it to the counterpart: Stepping Stones, it actually would be a perfect pack na - WAIT THAT MAKES SENSE. James May's Project 0 Pack name had zero to do with the content at all. ODI3 wasn't made on ODI. There's more examples I imagine.

Come on guys this is honestly childish squabbling at this point, it's a pack title. Yoshi?/YoshL? stated his opinion and Xel disagreed big fuckin' hoopdeedula! Arntonach has decided on the title for the pack as the main person organizing it and as such we all need to sit the fuck down and roll with it.

DATS IT.

Guys let's rename stepping stones to boss rush because to some players the files are really hard!!

In reality i don't actually give a fuck, but for 99% of players when they hear the title "boss rush mega pack" they definitely aren't thinking about 17s.

lol 99% of players consider a boss rush to be like, 14 footers

my current issue is that xel is misconstruing my point, and trying to make a point that doesn't actually work, given that stepping stones makes sense in its name because it caters to entry-level stepmania. having files that's one step above entry level and calling it "boss rush", which implies you're at the end of a game. bosses are meant to be the final summarization of a level, given a difficult and challenging fight. when you say that 17 being easy on etterna scale is my personal opinion, you also forget that that's where the stepping stones pack ends for difficulty. It's easy.

1. The notion that a boss rush has to be at the "end" is silly. You can have a rush of bosses before the end of the game. In a game like Stepmania where the options of difficulty are endless, you can't even really define a proper "end difficulty" anyways. - I literally said this? did you not read what I said lol.
Look at the first paragraph

2. His abilities as an artist have zero to do with the fucking pack name, stop being a cunt. - I'm not being a cunt, I'm saying that as a player who understands what higher level stepmania actually is, what he's trying to put in a super hard songs pack is not what he's accepting.

"James May's Project 0 Pack name had zero to do with the content at all." - because the pack name didn't say anything about the files within it at all.

"ODI3 wasn't made on ODI." - because the pack creator was continuing a series that became well known for high quality files of their time period, and it delivered.

===================

Blah blah blah in trying to write responses to various wrong statements that have been written, i've realized that xel is actually the problem here, he's really the one that's acting like a fucklord who knows everything about stepping, given how far removed from stepmania he is, sorry arntonach i apologize for getting too heated - I just seriously believe that the pack will be better off, and better received with a different name. I believe that there is a better nomenclature for the characterization of the files that you're trying to compile for this pack.

Heeeey, I got some downloads :c

I'm thinking:
- there's too great of a difficulty range for both Stepping Stones and this pack to really have meaningful intent behind polar opposite terms such as "for beginners" or "for experts"/"boss songs". You could have packs with the current difficulty range but it would be too broad to highlight any particular theme.
- or, you could reduce the difficulty range for both packs and make a third pack where the difficulties are in between these two and bridges the gap. But that pack would hardly stand out either...who'd want to play a pack with only mid-difficulty songs? The theme would seem more bland than packs on either end of the spectrum.
- or, you could reduce the difficulty range for both packs and have a complete gap in mid-end difficulties with no pack to address the gap. Maybe not the best idea for a progressively growing player.

Either way I don't care all too much, but some food for thought.

mid-difficulty players?

[Dinglesberry]

heres an idea - what if the files were stepped in a way that they would also be hard on rates, then even pro players could rush the boss rush !!!

well yeah
but the point was that people want packs that stand out in some ways, so as much as a mid-level pack would be a solution, it wouldn't really "stand" out in many people's minds...people tend to want something notably easier or notably harder
personally I would go with that but I've a feeling it wouldn't really garner much hype

[SKG_Scintill]

my minipacks tho

[Ristyy]

might not be the thread for it, but scintills packs are a must play in case anyone is looking for some godly stuff!

also guys download and play prof. raine's minipack, he has made some very very nice stuff as well, i believe he can run this pack to be something noteworthy
