Yeah, I'm starting to dislike this new skill-based ranking system. It's more accurately showing how much I suck at this game
Wow , this thread is sort of dying.
dual-screening is pretty much impossible to detect but I don't think I've heard of anyone slowing the game down. Then again I don't play CTB, but that kind of thing should be really easy to detect, especially when spectating.Is the hacking detection been improved??
I quit about a year ago because people were using cheat engine to slow down the game (for CTB) and dual-screening (for Taiko)
I might go back every once in a while to check things up, but seriously unless peppy decides to spend a bit more time banning those cheaters I'm not going back permanently.

Have you tried the relatively new osu!mania mode? None of the mods award any extra points there.Yea, the thing I hate is that the Taiko mode is "trying" to replicate the Taiko no Tatsujin for PS2 / Wii, but it fails.
IMO mods shouldn't award any additional points (except for DT).
Beats' osu! mode isn't a very accurate representation of the actual game. If you're using .sm charts, you will get randomly generated maps, whereas the maps within osu! are all handmade.I tried playing Osu! (Osu! mode on Beats) but didn't like it as much as I like the 'normal' mode. It's too unpredictable where you have to click, which I understand is part of difficulty I guess, but it's just not my thing.
Yea I did, but I'm not very good with 7K, so I usually played 4K which had a 0.76x score multiplier, IDK if it changed though (stepmania is a better alternative anyway, so it didn't grab my attention for too long).Have you tried the relatively new osu!mania mode?

1. practice (I sucked with 7k at first too - then I started playing specific maps and it turned out I sucked at 4k as well, converts are just laughably easy)Yea I did, but I'm not very good with 7K, so I usually played 4K which had a 0.76x score multiplier, IDK if it changed though (stepmania is a better alternative anyway, so it didn't grab my attention for too long).
Oh wow, they actually ranked a o!m only map, does that mean there's no need for an osu! diff as well?? I remember there being a requirement on every map for it to get ranked.1. practice (I sucked with 7k at first too - then I started playing specific maps and it turned out I sucked at 4k as well, converts are just laughably easy)
2. there are actually quite a few 4K specific maps, and those don't decrease your score
3. play specific maps, autoconverts suck for various reasons. Try a map like http://osu.ppy.sh/s/124866
It has been that way for a pretty long time. As long as there is a decent difficulty spread (generally this means Easy, Normal, Hard and an optional Insane) the map can be any mode. Here's a recent example of a Taiko only map. Those are somewhat rare, but there is a pretty steady influx of osu!mania maps nowadays.Oh wow, they actually ranked a o!m only map, does that mean there's no need for an osu! diff as well??

Seeing this I just might get back in the game and map exclusively for taiko.
osu!mania best osu! (also seems like pp for mania and Taiko finally got fixed. I'm about #1000 mania and #1700 Taiko now, not bad)Standard Osu! is the only Osu! Half of the time I actually play Osu! now is just hitting random.
