[@waxxx14]

A format like trackmania’s “cup of the day” could be cool in osu

[@coopw6365]

thats an awesome idea, would be a great source of content about lazer and good for the community

[@keetlecorn]

honestly yes! a division system based on how well you did and maybe it can be a playlist of maps based around a certain skill set? One day could be aim or stamina and can differ based on player skill ranges? that would be so cool!

[@Avelia-videofr]

There is kinda that with playlist spotlight

[@tetradoge]

this Idea is incredible

[@akirimew]

i find so many fandoms im in, in other fandoms But yes this is a really good idea (just dont lock it behind supporter, pls)

[@tovc]

the main thing I think lazer is lacking is expanded skinning tools. The current workflow sucks and I'd like to see it improved. Skins are one of the few things that stable still does better than lazer, which is disappointing given how much more sophisticated the lazer skinning infrastructure is

[@Denter86]

I agree. I love lazer but stable skins are the thing I miss the most from playing it. You can import stable skins, yes, but they don't integrate very well with the current features at all.

[@yomurita]

You can't even edit old skins properly in lazer, which is majorly annoying. Customizing your skin in lazer *sucks* and the skin editor is arcane magic to understand. Still haven't figured out if you even can change/delete stuff from old/legacy skins on it.

[@cryptic2121]

Completely agree. I had to reinstall stable just to edit my skin, then export it and reimport in laser lol. The skin editor has so much room to expand still so I hope it’s near the top of their priorities

[@asteriau]

agreed, we need a better skinning system

[@neutralis7046]

skins are the only reason why i don't want to play laser for now

[@dinasticks8654]

I would love to see some implementation of a dedicated "Practice mode". A mode where you could play the map with a visible timeline that you can click around to skip through the map to specific parts you want to practice, along with a hotkey for saving position and going to said position. This can be expanded further with a looping system too where you click drag over the timeline to create a "loop region" which once you reach the end of, it goes back to the start of the loop region. This will make practicing a specific part a lot easier and streamlined. It would make improving and practicing in modes outside of Standard SO MUCH BETTER.

[@toomessprograms4510]

Crazy good for flashlight players and a W for community in general, great idea.

[@MMenyan]

i would be happy enough if i could simply use mods in testplay in editor

[@zeppie_]

As a very casual player, I'm not particularly engaged with any of the community, but I'd still love to know what other players have been playing has been up to. I don't really venture outside of the game or youtube comment sections, so that makes it hard to keep track of things. I'd love to see a "top play of the week" or "top map of the week" section on the main menu. They could be based on plays/score, or on votes (or both with 'popular' and 'top rated' categories). A convenient in-game way to access beatmap packs would also be very nice to have, as a way of getting more 'official' levels

[@notyourfault2047]

this is an awesome idea methinks

[@Dyrhos]

Up uppp

[@NotDerpyFox]

i want to see lazer have the ability to skin everything from main menu and score screen and more just purely to have it look the same as stable.

[@Avelia-videofr]

Yeah having skinning be the main focus now that everything is in a good state gameplay wise is the best direction imo

[@tetradoge]

I agree that skinning should be more flexible with those elements, but still have restrictions to keep it in the "lazer" asthetic

[@kaly_osu]

not that important like gameplay aspects + the less anime visible in people's client the better

[@Avelia-videofr]

@@tetradoge that feels like a dumb limit ? I feel like you should be able to customize everything apart 1 or 2 main éléments (like the cookie)

[@Avelia-videofr]

@@kaly_osu the ui (and by extension the skinning) is what makes a lot of people stay on stable. Being able to customize everything is one of the best aspect of osu and lazer skinning is currently really lacking (nothing outside gameplay is really customizable outside adding overlay on song select) (Also please refrain judging people like that :) skinning doesn't only mean adding anime référence to osu )

[@Tribow]

I know this may sound weird, but I kind of wish there was a singleplayer campaign in osu! Just so there's a base set of maps that are all "official" especially since we have all of this music from featured artists now. I think it'd be nice.

[@tetradoge]

Just like in beat saber

[@NucEn]

This sounds great! Combined with someone's idea of making a tutorial for each mode, you can have several "branches" (for example, a branch with focus on streaming, or on jumps, and before a branch there's a tiny tutorial) that all lead to some set of complex maps

[@mikkelcornelius6948]

Total official score leaderboards could get really competitive, if we had just 100 official maps. The current total ranked score leaderboard is only really viable for completionists

[@Kuhekin]

Or story mode, multiple song with a good background effect(haven't played for years I forgot what it's called)

[@ruruchi_]

Maybe with a storyline like most other rhythm games does nowadays, but what would be funny is to have characters based of real players (with similar but not exactly the same names) and each one focusing on their respective skillsets.

[@oofgordy4634]

1. Fix laggy song selection 2. Be able to skin everything like you can in stable 3. Rate adjust ranked 4. hit notification indicator for if it was to slow or fast like a blue 100 for fast and red 100 for slow that can be recolored/skinned to your preference 5. A way to generate collections based on things like length ar bpm cs etc 6. Hotkey switch skins 7. Be able to subscribe to beatmap packs so it automatically downloads the newest like automatically download the newest ranked map pack 8. Something like osu collector built into the game where people can post there collections and you can put in filters for types of collections then download the collections

[@Guri012]

I really like your 4th idea

[@user-nr5ix2pw4j]

The sixth idea is actually super great but the fourh is kinda weird

[@120-cell]

I really like 8. You could also have a similar system for skins

[@SpamAcc988]

8th would help alot to players struggling to find particular types of map

[@tigiexe]

i think 8 could be easily implemented with the playlists system that already exists in lazer, its kind of like collections already except limited time score competition

[@Lunethia]

Please make it possible to run tournaments! That'd be so cool! Get the sv2 rulings for mods (if sv2 enabled NF doesnt reduce score, etc, obv this would be unranked etc) - Doesnt have to be called SV2, maybe competitive or tournament?. Get MP commands in there to make refereeing possible (such as making tournament lobbies so u dont need to rely on passwords, start commands, map and mod commands timer commands etc etc, just all of them!

[@Avelia-videofr]

They said that they didn't want to implement commands but rather make a full ui (for example in the browser) that does that Mods multiplier can be mostly solved by having raw score be shown instead of score multiplief by the mods Streaming is already kinda available it just need refining iirc

ranked elo matchmaking with seasonal mappool changes would be so good and i saw an above comment mentioning star rating brackets to seperate groups of players the competition side of this game is so good but lots of people are barred from experiencing it due to the insane time dedication. a ranked queue allowing players to enjoy this style of play at anytime would be so good

[@aiae]

man even the thought of this in my head makes me excited already

[@zeppie_]

I love the idea that each 'season' could have it's own ranked map picks, possibly a different set of songs per rank. Your seasonal ranking can be based on the combined performance on those chosen maps. People can choose to play solo or against other players, so long as they play the correct maps. Perhaps when you play solo your ranking is only updated at the end of the season, but when you play against other players it's updated at the end of each match to incentivize player interaction

[@rovdjuret1007]

I love this seasonal map idea. As a mania player, it would be really fun to have a couple maps from each skillset (for example speed, tech, stamina, chordjack, ln, hybrid, or even use more specific terms like speedjacks and hybridjumpstream) and compete in them for a ranking in each type and also an overall ranking. The best part of this would be to see if you reach can reach a new "title" like how a good player may get to champion rank in rocket league, reach all medals in trackmania or rank global in cs. And then your total amount of these ranks earned could be displayed on your profile

[@shteen998]

YES:

[@Vergil3489]

I played something similar to this through a discord bot that is integrated with the game, don't remember what it was called. It was so much fun, the only downside was the lack of players, which lead to kinda long queues and recurrent oponents even in low elo

[@fleuph6508]

Things that are missing from my perspective: 1. A way to edit a skin's files (either access to the filesystem like in stable or direct access within the in-game skin editor to change the image/sound files of skin elements). This includes changes to settings that normally exist in the skin.ini file. If I want to make a change to my skin's gameplay, I have to export the skin from lazer, unpack the osk, make the edit, repack the osk, then reinport it to lazer, which also usually requires deleting the old skin so a bunch of versions of the same skin don't pile up. 1.5 (this one is less of something thats "missing" and something that I think would be nice) Lazer added a toggle switch for cursor trail in the settings. Please consider one for showing/hiding follow points as well. I have versions of most of my skins with and without them and it would be nice to save some pc space by having a toggle switch rather than needing two copies of every skin. 2. Some way to directly compete with other players within the game without outside scheduling, and with some sort of visual impact on your profile. By which I mean some sort of matchmaking system where you can play against another player, and based on your performance you get awarded some sort of rank/number that is visible to you and potentially other players. Something like what elitebotix and osu!matchmaking have tried to do, but obviously in a format supported by the developers and available without need for external websites or discord bots. 3. Integration of match spectating and refereeing in the existing lazer tournament client, or something similar to current situation with a separate spectator client and an IRC connection to the streaming/overlay client. TEST Open is paving the way for lazer tournaments but without access to tools similar to or better than the current tools for tournaments on stable, the tournament community won't switch to lazer anytime soon. 4. DT still feels incredibly weird to play. Its hard to put my finger on what it is, but its like the offset needs constant changing, and doesn't even stay consistent over the course of a song. I really want to entirely switch to lazer but as a DT player its just not possible for me to have a good experience playing on lazer just yet.

[@aprilnya]

expanding on 1.5, there should be even more toggleable things, like a hitsounds toggle

[@120-cell]

@@aprilnya I think these should be toggelable in the skin editor rather than directly in the options

1.5 could honestly be handled by 1 with a nice enough skin editor, which ideally is what lazer will have. just open the editor change the trail to a blank one then save and exit.

[@PickL42]

I'd love to see more replay analysis features, something like a timeline that shows taps and circles. Great update, thanks for all the hard work!

[@losered]

3:05 this would be so incredibly helpful, especially as a mania player, its really helpful to know when a score has been set with pausing or without pausing so you can more accurately gauge how difficult the play was to pull off, especially on intense stamina maps like ade maines gengaozo or like any loved dan course (even tho pausing is allowed inbetween breaks on the 7k ones)

[@ThreeAccounts]

It just makes pausing easier but I don't really think that's a good thing, those stamina maps are meant to be hard because it's an endurance challenge

[@losered]

@@ThreeAccounts i dont really see how it would make pausing easier?? if anything people would be less inclined to pause because it would publicly show that they paused in their score, and thats already a big taboo within the mania community, especially on stamina based charts

I'm seconding Cup of the Day from Trackmania, ranked section has been a really awkward way to find maps for a while now and having a daily showcase and knockout format to compete in would be super fun and make for good content.

[@nyborgaming]

i have a couple of small QoL suggestions for multiplayer lobbies - vote skip intro being implemented again would be helpful; in lobbies i play, auto-skip isn't always useful so having the 'hit space to vote skip' option would mean we could skip long intros but not shorter ones (maybe as a setting like auto-skip already is) - similarly, a vote restart in would be helpful. say someone or multiple people in a lobby are having a bad run, having a setting to have either a majority or unanimous vote to restart a song would be helpful - removing song queue limits for non-hosts would also be nice as a setting. i find myself swapping host back and forth with other players so that we can all queue more than 3 songs at once, so either setting a custom limit or no limit could definitely help with this. - being able to auto-calibrate delay at the end of a song while playing in multi would be cool too. at the minute if i play a song and the delay is off, i have to leave the match and go into single player to be able to adjust the delay of a song, so being able to click an auto-calibrate button once the song ends would mean i or my friends don't have to leave and rejoin the lobby to calibrate the delay, which makes the whole multiplayer process much more seamless lazer is so much fun though and i love so many features of it, these are just things that have been discussed since moving to lazer that could make playing multiplayer games even more enjoyable!

[@mrvatei]

Ah yup vote restart would be amazing

[@_Cactyss]

another addition to this list would be a version of autostart that automatically starts after a certain amount of time after all players have clicked ready (this may already be a feature bit I haven't found it yet)

A: many do not know they exist, and they are great sources of quality tracks for those who don't play multi 24/7, and B: it is annoying to have to manually download and install ten of them whenever I remember to (and guestimate around what the last one I downloaded was).

[@BAMB00STER4EVER]

Getting all the new loved maps as they release would be nice

[@scobyhoberman6424]

I think it would be kinda neat to have a "pattern library" sort of thing for the editor. somewhere where you can save patterns that you want to reuse later without having to search through the map to copy paste it. This would be particularly good for gimmicky maps with alot of repeating patterns, but I also think mappers with a more general style could also benefit from this. Also if possible it would be cool to see olibomby's mapping tools implemented into the base game, maybe under an advanced mapping mode or something. love you guys, keep up the good work!

I'm well aware this is going to get absolutely buried, but I remember at some point seeing concepts for variable map settings (CS, AR, etc) for maps, and to me I feel like that could pretty much reform gameplay on lazar in regards to standard and catch, and actually lead people to switch on their own accord with all of the new mapping possibilities that could be created. The way that this is done would matter heavily, would likely require the introduction of a new mod/setting for the classic mod to allow for consistency between lazar and stable, as I doubt any changes are coming to stable of this scale, and may require a rework to pp to account for the resulting new possibilities in map reading.

Other than that, stuff like map genres (tech, stream, jumps, full flavour, etc) would be nice.

My personal top priorities for lazer: - pp for rate changes. This will probably get a lot more people to switch to lazer. - Improve skinning. The framework for editing skins in game is good but limited, it needs to get to the point where you can add skin elements and edit skin.ini without going through the whole export-unpack-repack-import process. Also, song select skinning - This is more of a personal gripe, but more consideration needs to be given to classic leaderboards. The 0.96x or whatever multiplier to classic scores makes it so the top of the leaderboard is just the best lazer scores, not the all time best scores. I get not wanting to encourage people to play classic mod or stable to ignore slideracc, but the way it is now is highly flawed.

[@Lunaui]

I think adding more skinning support would be awesome. I think the customizability of skins in lazer would make a really awesome experience for skinners

[@begl1086]

My dream inclusion for this game is a competitive versus queue with some kind of elo rating. I envision a system that would allow players to queue into a match where they get to click to ban and pick maps using an in-game interface. The mappools for the matches could be auto-generated, picked from a curated list, or use a pool of the week system. It would also be really cool to have this system for ranked matches to be able to be used for tournaments, with some kind of custom match thing. They could even let badged tournament matches count for your elo rating. Additionally, adding an in-game way to pick/ban, view mappools, automate timers, and all the other things that come with running an osu! match would circumvent the current need for mp commands for lazer tournaments. There is so much that can be done with this idea that what I've laid out here too. This game has so much potential for competitive play and I really think a ranked system like this would be massive for the game in many ways.

I really want to see collaboration of the editor in lazer, something like osu!cad would be like the grand boss level thing, real time multiple people editing a map together, would be great for modding or making new maps in general. Even just mapper spectating would be huge. Mod multipliers being fixed and improved from their current state would be great. For example 8 miss HDDT scores beating NM FC's scores in modes like CtB is awful. Also classic HDDT (in CtB) is worth 1.166x in lazer, but HDDTCL in lazer is worth 1.1236x, we should probably match these to 1.1666x for modes like CtB, Taiko, and Mania where there are no (real) gameplay differences between the modes. Also why is HR still worth more than DT in CtB? This change didn't make sense years ago and it's even worse now. Also please can I have catmull slider type back in the editor🥺

[@kevincela7169]

yup, a collaborative editor would be my top request as well! In general I hope the editor will receive more updates now, sine I still think its UX needs some work (and there are some really cool features which are still not merged into the game yet)

[@chibu68]

Map packs are kinda ignored by the majority of players (myself included). I think it would be cool to see more being done with it, aside from the few medals some packs have. For example, maybe have a statistic on your profile that shows the amount you have completed. Another thing that'd be cool is the ability to search/filter packs. So for example filter mappacks based on time period, search based on the name of the pack, or a song that's in it. Filter on completion status maybe. Basically just beatmap search but for mappacks I guess. Aside from that, something about mappacks that has bugged me for a long time, is that you can't see if you have completed it or not without clicking on it, so I'd like to see that changed. I think reworking mappacks and featuring them more might help garner interest for newer players as well, as most people that just started have no idea about pp or rankings, which is the main motivator for most players.

[@AlfredPros]

A proper system to download and track progress of beatmap packs clears in-game.

A small addition that would be nice: When you select a beatmap in the song select, all other difficulties from that mapset will also stand out, making it easy to find maps from the same song/mapset. Lazer currently doesn't have this yet, so this would be a nice addition :> Edit (my comment before this one seems to have been deleted): The primary change I want to see in Lazer is the addition of early/late 100 hitmarkers, so that you don't have to take your eyes off of your flow if you can't tell if you're late or early.

Basically something simillar to osu!Collector but mostly for lazer and official 2) More export options in general would be good. RIght now If you want to move to another device but save your maps, skins, etc, you need to copy the whole folder basically. But what if you only want ot save skins only? Or only collections?

[@TheRealDeathmatch]

i want some sort of Osu! Competitive. Basically just an officially supported elitebotix if you know what that is. The jist is; you queue up for a 1v1, 2v2 , or 4v4 (doesn't have to be these I'm sure different team sizes work fine), once you find a player (or team) around the same rating as you, you get thrown into a multiplayer lobby. And than the bot cycles through random tournament maps around your rating level until a team gets to 4 points. In elitebotix, rating is based off of your performance and only your preformence, but I think it'd be funnier if there was a factor for if you won/lost and by how much. (again also not required)

[@monkey6429]

proper menu and song select skinning would be great

[@Jarran2R]

the thing that would make lazer worthwhile for me is ultra low latency audio on windows, whether that be using asio or wasapi exclusive mode or something of the sort. playing osu on linux was the best experience i had because of how close my hitsounds could be to my taps but having to constantly switcb between windows and linux when i wanted to play a different game became too tiring. while on the topic of audio, being able to choose separate audio devices for music, effect, and master could be a huge help for streamers that may want to nuke the vod audio but keep hitsounds so that not everything is gone

[@fleuph6508]

btw if you are using an asio compatible audio device latency to the game should already be quite low as long as you have your device setting in your audio drivers set up correctly. Try using a buffer size around 64 samples instead of the normal default. Even when the device isn't being used in asio mode that buffer still affects audio latency.

@@fleuph6508 the application has to be the one to support asio, as the interface has to communicate to the application via the asio drivers, osu lazer currently doesn't support asio so just having an interface is not enough. usually when you can hear desktop audio with an asio interface it's because the interface also has wdm drivers which doesn't use asio at all

Just a few things I wanted to have in lazer ever since I started playing it 4 months ago: -Most importantly, add another layer in the gameplay skin editor, which always shows, even if HUD is turned off. This is mainly so that its possible to see the ur bar/key overlay without deleting all other elements in the HUD (similar to how its possible in stable) -Show average/Max spin speed at the end of the play, similarly to stable. In the end it wont make too big of a difference but its a fun stat -If a map for example freedom dive is not a natural number of BPM (222,22) it wont show when searching for bpm=222. Make the game round for all of these stats to the nearest whole number, so that its easier to search certain songs -add a possibility for when playing with NF on the result screen that shows if you would have failed if you had played the map NM -When adding a map to collections, dont close the collections window instantly, otherwise it can be pretty annoying to add a single map to multiple collections -When sorting by artists, the same songs usually arent next to each other, that could be fixed -Mod suggestion: Similar to how you can select every part of the map in map editor and then scale it from the playfield center, it would be cool to have this aside from having to open the map in editor (basically just as a shortcut like Difficulty Adjust is too). With that it would be possible to do fully stacked maps like Ekoro did with Sputnik-3, or spacing jumps out more (the mod shouldnt be ranked or anything, its just for fun) Hope this comment doesnt get lost in the flood of other comments. That said, thanks for caring so much about the game, I literally couldnt imagine a better developer :)

[@Evrvscnt]

have been maining lazer since started playing again recently and had some thoughts that i’ll prob keep returning to edit this once i remember (not necessarily the innovative crazy idea stuff like was mentioned but just some things i think would be nice) mod pp: -ht/dt adjustments have been mentioned and ofc they would be rly cool to have but understandably is probably a whole different beast for balancing - one that i would love to see would be for mirror to be able to give pp for standard since it is available for mania, being able to play a map in four orientations is such a blessing for mindblock and i was really disappointed it didnt give pp. ik it does alter the star ratings of [some] maps for whatever reason and that could mean extra work for balancing but honestly if people wanna do it and get pp for it theyre just gonna do the forbidden monitor method anyway so better collection management options: - something like adding tags or a subfolder-like system so i can actually organise these damn things without using a million prefixes to order them in groups that just make it all look like hieroglyphs - a way to add a map to multiple collections at once, its a bother to go through the menus multiple times editor: - have only started mapping recently and started in lazer and tbh its been a much nicer streamline for the learning experience than stable but god damn sliders gotta be properly hitsoundable - also some stuff like making sliders that change velocity as they go i don’t think are possible? can’t remember if maps that do this are rankable or not so might not be priority but it is cool to see them when they are used and would be a pain for mappers to have to go back to stable for it - some of the features that third party programs like mapping tools and timing analyzer being native would be cool too. stuff like saving patterns to a library rather than having to scroll all the way through the timeline to copy paste something (ik this is skill diff and experienced mappers prob wouldn’t even use some of these but would be a good feature for people picking it up for the first time) UI elements: - some more options / customizablility for the playfield border UI would be great. have found that the current size (at least at my window scaling) overlaps with some objects and i ended up just pulling the border from a skin element and scaling it myself - would also be a cool idea if there was a way to fill in the playfield with just a black square so the outside could have the map background, not a huge deal is just an aesthetic ive seen some skins emulate and liked so would be cool since theres no way to actually add UI elements that appear underneath objects (for fair reason ik)

[@andr0as]

accelerating sliders (or just general sv changes during sliders, such as the ones you can emulate using mapping tools) are currently unrankable due to readability issues (i think?). maybe having some sort of indicator for eventual acceleration/declaration on slider bodies (such as a color shift using gradients maybe?) could make this work but it looks to me like implementing something like that would be extremely complicated, so i don't really see these being implemented in the near future.

[@Lunethia]

Crazy Idea, you asked, I deliver! ### Ranked Queue ### - Similar to tournaments, you play maps against an opponent until you win a certain amount. - Winning and losing provides an elo rating. - Rotating map selections, including maps with forced mods, free mod choices, showcasing old and new mods alike? etc. - There are multiple map selections for different elo brackets, say in a silver bracket, maps will be easier than in a platinum bracket. - Leaderboards for the best competitors. - Potentially build in tournaments on weekends as events? With qualifier phases? For certain elo brackets or open to everyone? Note: Similar to rocket league? Thing is with this, that a rocket league match is 5 minutes and a match here would be between 30 and 60 minutes, so I'm not sure how feasible it is. This would require manual input for the map selections, unless they are selected randomly. Random selection would be fine, however manual selection enables choosing maps deliberately to test skillsets within the game. Not needed, but would make it more varied and interesting as well as fair. Random selection could work if it randomly chooses maps from pre-set pools of maps, say 100 different stream maps, and one is chosen.

[@xmasterosu]

My main gripe with lazer is it's social incompleteness, and there are a lot of other "buts" • I can set a score on lazer! BUT It'll not appear to stable players. • I can chat and be online on lazer! BUT I'll not appear online* to other users, nor show what I'm playing or mapping (F9) • I can skin on lazer! BUT only add overlay images and legacy style gameplay pngs. I think it needs to at least match stable on community to begin going forward. * You do appear online, but it's not reliable at all, like stable's F9 design.

[@2kata]

i want to be able to have different colored hit notifications dependent on whether its late or early e.g a late 100 would be blue instead of green. this would make it way easier to tell what im doing wrong mid play, instead of having to move my eyes down i can just use my peripheral vison to detect the color. i think a rising star leaderboard could be cool, to see up and coming players from your reigon/globally. could be good to catch cheaters/multi accounts aswell. the ability to edit hit animation speed/size and the ability to make your cursor trail smooth and to vary the length of it. both of which are already doable, just very janky...

Most of them are minor change that can enhance player experience but here the few idea i have : - a random map category (i pretty often start playing the same few map because of those classification or just keep hitting that random button which can be anoying in the long run) - a "map selection/recommendation for you" based on what you typically play (song wise or type of map wise) to find new map (or any way to make people find new GOOD map easily) - showing "map bpm" with the song bpm (for exemple the big black which is written at 360 bpm but gameplay wise it's 180 bpm) - a practice things for exemple it can be pretty much like on adofai where you can play a map from x time to y time while changing speed percentage - map type classification (like we already all do by playing the map and recognise it but pre-written to help new player), can also add category for those instead of us having to make collection, it can also help us finding new map. It can be automatically added and to prevent false positive also asked to the mapper when posting the map - not my case but some people like to play rx or at. Making these mod with health and having their own ranking system can be cool (since i know their is some alt server that do it) i'll keep editing with new idea if i found some

[@cardbladergamer5231]

I would love to see the ability to create beatmap packs and be able to lock songs/difficulties in the pack behind certain clear/score requirements. It would allow for another form of player progression in the game outside of getting more pp by motivating players to unlock more songs and to increase their skills to unlock new difficulties. (Bonus points if you can also allow for triggered cutscenes/videos to be played once unlock requirements are met.)

[@owencmyk]

This might not be the best place to put this idea but: What if you implemented single player elo by giving each map and player an elo? When a map is played, it's elo and the player's are both updated using the score of the play (max score being a win in the equation, 0 score being a complete loss). The elo math works with fractional values so the exact score can be used and the math *should* check out. Before each map is ranked, it's elo will be affected by players who play it, but players won't gain or lose elo, so the elo of the map represents a general skill level that the map requires on average. Then once the map is ranked, players can play the map to gain or lose elo, also affecting the map's elo. A natural side effect of this system is that farming the same map over and over again will suffer from diminishing returns, which is ideal. I've thought about making a ranking system like this myself but the osu!api scares me. There might be some kinks to work out in the system of course but I think the idea has potential. If any devs are reading this, please let me know what you think.

[@Remyria]

what about a system like trackmania SP which would be something like "value = (total number of plays on the leaderboard) / (your position in the rankings)" which makes a first place on a map with 14 plays worth 14 points, but a top 5 on a map with a million plays worth 200k

[@owencmyk]

@@Remyria That is a cool system, but it doesn't inherently factor in things like ties, and the actual difficulty of a map. Like for example, a top play on The Big Black is much more impressive than a top play on some easy diff anime opening, even if the anime opening has more players. An osu scoring system also needs to factor in how multiple plays will combine together. Which pp already does nicely, but elo inherently does automatically

[@rejuvaeb-rq8wx]

1. file system for managing skins and beatmaps just like we had on stable, the hash thing is cool and all but unuseable for us end users like if i want to change something in the skin.ini i don't want to need to export skin, make change and then having to reimport it again 2. opening up the mod selection should not auto focus on the search bar so that you can instantly use hotkeys to select your mods 3. fix hotkeys in the lazer editor right now they force an ansi layout and also make hotkeys consistent to stable hotkeys (e.g ctrl+r is rotate on lazer but that's ctrl+shift+r on stable) 4. readd the shortcut/drop down menu to jump to a beatmap's page 5. the timeline on lazer is too crowded with information, stable's timeline was much cleaner and clearer to see all the essentials especially the ticks are more visible 6. readd editor settings in the settings menu

[@DokBanks1]

ELO in multilayer would be pretty cool, gain points for winning, top 3, top 5, etc. Bonus points for if you won with a map in your recommended star rating, more bonus points for if you passed a map that is higher than your recommended star rating, etc. Smaller elo points rewards for those who say join a 4-5* map pool lobby, but are like 4/5 digit, almost 'smurfing' wins. Maybe even bonus points for tournament participation/top 3/win. All in all, this would be great for the multiplayer scene, as multiplayer in itself could even hold a separate rank to pp. Whilst pp is the foundation of ranking it osu, in most cases, it just shows who has played more/farmed more. Multiplayer, you get the 1 chance to do well at the map you're playing where-as if you were playing for pp, you can retry as much as you like until you achieve the score you would like.

Hey there, got a a feature request that i'm actually pretty passionate about. If I had to name the feature it would be "Score Celebrations". (They could be turned off if the player desires) I think that one of the main reasons earning medals is so satisfying in osu is because instead of getting a score and feeling like it just disappeared into the void of infinite random scores, the game reacts organically. Directly acknowledging the action of the player. This tells the player, hey that score was unique, and thats to be celebrated. If we could take this concept and find ways to celebrate normal (non medal) score submissions, it would bolster the players sense of progression in the game. My ideas so far include the following. When the player sets a new best performance on their profile, it triggers a celebration animation. First have a vertical carousel animation visualizing the new score climbing its way up your top performances finding its appropriate position, and locking in. Then perform a series of animations showcasing the changes/improvements made to your global stats. The main one of note here being rank and pp, but accuracy, total score, and level, would all be shown here. You could showcase the stats improving with a rolling digit effect like a slot machine or an odometer on a car. Might be over doing it but you could also implement a horizontal Carousel animation demonstrating you the player moving up in the ranks. To minimize resource usage, cache only the profile pictures/data from the profiles directly surrounding your old and new rank. Right now I feel like if a new player were to be on lazer they'd have no idea what their rank is, and they'd have no sense of accomplishment when gaining pp. Imo implementing this would dramatically bolster the players sense of progression and improvement in the game. All while making lazer feel more conscious and reactive of the scores you set.

[@ragedfalcon2397]

YES! This is a wonderful idea! Making the game give you a reward for accomplishing something will significantly increase their motivation to play the game. Because right now even if I set a top play or my rank rises up very fast because of my grinding, I just end up not feeling anything. I always think of the millions of players who accomplished 50 pp and other small pp milestones before me and think "Meh other people have already done this.". Which shouldn't happen as although its small in the grand scheme of things, it's a great accomplishment to the new players. Maybe there's already a feature equivalent to this in the game such as medals idk how that works tbh. I'm a new player who started 2 months ago.

any kind of ranked queue or elo system would do wonders. I think that real-time competition offers a great complement to solo play, but as it stands multiplayer is generally just randomized people and difficulty levels in a ffa in a non-competitve setting, and tournaments can have a really high barrier of entry. So I'd love to see a more universal real-time competitive system, especially with some kind of matchmaking. There's a few 3rd party systems that attempt to give an elo to players, namely skill issue, elitebotix, and a wip "osu! Tournament Rating" system by Stage. I think these offer a framework for what kind of elo system can be used for matchmaking, and what's currently possible in the bounds of the game. They're by no means perfect, but they're pretty heavily underused by the community for the features these tools offer.

As an osu enjoyer, I'd say we maybe need a pause menu customization, or even more customization on the select menu too (like on stable version with skins basically), and also make an option to start / restart maps instantly (on stable we can hit escape and instantly restart, on lazer I feel like it takes a lot of time, so when we try to restart a map it's a bit annoying, this is one of the only reasons I don't play on lazer version sadly) But overall lazer is really good and it's improving in a really good way :)

Other ideas: - Generating collections from filters of maps - Generating collections and search song select with filters of previously set scores - Mod/Mod combo filtered rankings(not map specific) similar to what used to exist on osu!chan - Setting a hotkey to a specific skin - Parse all of my scores locally like export them to a csv or similar - Simulate your friends ranking (or any leaderboard) as if it were a multi lobby. - A less 'hacky' version of "instafade" skins (combo colors/etc)

personally i would love it if there was a like classic song selection mode so you can get that osu stable feel when selecting songs and have old skins actually work on the selection screen.

for the editor, i would love some kind of real-time collab editing feature, kinda like how you can collab edit a google doc

When I learned that any map could be tagged (and not just "TAG4" maps, ok yeah I was new to the game) I pretty much fell in love with tag team mode in multis. There's just something about playing a map with even just one other person that's so fun and unique. There are many issues with it in stable though, it's just not the cleanest mode and can take away the magic when things like misses that aren't misses happen (No fail doesn't work on harder maps I don't think, but maybe it's just a connection issue), or when you're playing with auto instead of a real person because the sync isn't quite right. The result screen also isn't very helpful since it's combined. You have to look at the multi link to see individual performance. The dream for me would be to see, well, tag coop as a mode in lazer, more functional than ever. Tag tournaments, or even just something like tag2, tag3 and tag4 leaderboards on maps (like mod specific leaderboards) would be amazing. To be the best pair at tagging a specific map is a goal I know some of my friends and I would try to reach, and seeing top player collab #1s would be awesome. On top of that, brand new multiplayer modes would also be exciting, like "tag" modes where you see other cursors, where the jurisdiction split isn't when there is a new combo but instead a certain area on the playfield, or maybe a mapper can assign notes to player 1 or 2 (etc) themselves allowing for more simultaneous interplay and mapping creativity, etc. Maybe I'm being too much of a dreamer, but multiplayer and tag team mode have a lot of potential in my opinion.

being able to code custom hud elements for lazer in lua or other scripting language would be cool

Imo, focusing on multiplayer would be the next logical step, as it is such an important part of community building: leaderboard toggle, more voting option, new song selection scheme (like: the winner/worst score choses a song). forcing difficulty range, score normalisation, better song info select info, etc.

more and more performance improvement would be awesome to have for various low-end devices this will then engages more players to play lazer like it was in stable (or maybe even more players than stable)
