A cool thing to add is the ability to multiplayer different difficulties of the same map (or mp3) in a lobby. This is something sorely missed that's featured in other arcade rhythm games and makes it soo much easier to have fun with friends who are new to the game and even potentially open up some cool tournament ideas. But especially the first reason cause introducing someone to try osu! always feels like you always gotta do this whole "wait for your less experienced friend to get good before we can play together" kind of thing.

[@tovc]

Oh, absolutely. Lazer even has the groundwork for it in the standardized scoring. Another thing I'd like to see is a 'handicap' mod, which allows you to give yourself a flat X% score reduction, so I can play with EZ and not be at a direct score disadvantage with my friends playing nomod

[@DeanHerbertMooCow]

definitely!

[@TheFrostedDev]

Absolutely agree here, something similar to how it works in other rhythm games such as project sekai or arcaea link play. Ultimately, most multi lobbies are played by casual players and ppl just looking to enjoy playing game, allowing people to maybe even just choose 1 of any diff in a certain mapset will definitely allow multis to be much more approachable overall.

[@Kris-od3sj]

Yes!! I've been thinking of something like this for a long time, I'd love to see that! It'd also be awesome if we could also play different gamemodes (for mapsets with e.g. standard and taiko diffs)

[@NewbieFirst]

Another cool thing would be allowing different DT/HT rates to be played in one lobby like in Quaver.

[@kektaro]

RIP negative SS. Was kinda cool

Performance updates are really the one makes me more excited and have the urge to update my osu lazer

[@гидлерТВ]

Please make it possible to watch a replay if you fail it in multi! Sometimes you want to show your friends a sick clip, but realize you died somewhere on the start when you try to rewatch it, and you have to use third party tools to ignore the fail

[@golden_szn]

U can record yourself with either obsstudio or geforce capture or other know sceeen captures( if you are worried for storage, you can akways lower quality or delete)

[@exepire7877]

@golden3954 for some people, like myself, thats not an option. when i play with OBS open, my framerate stutters a lot more than when it's not open.

[@jackwright517]

​@@golden_szn really sorry but that's not a viable solution for most people

[@hontoose3561]

I hope lazer continues to upgrade and get better!

[@exepire7877]

*look forward to it's obvious they won't suddenly stop updating it.

[@oscujic100]

On the issue of having too many options in the menu; there could be a separate 'advanced config' file for less-used options. You could make practically everything in the game customizable without cluttering it at all.

[@oventree]

this wouldn't work for mobile

[@squiddu]

@@oventree You could still effectively have a toggle near the bottom of the settings to just show/hide some of the more "advanced" settings. It all still goes to the same config file.

[@NekomiKiyomiVT]

@@squiddu Or maybe a sub menu, you click show advanced settings and like keyboard bindings, it's opens a submenu for more specific/advanced settings.

[@JessicaFEREM]

They could have an advanced option that toggles settings in and out depending on what's considered "noob" and "pro" settings. They're effectively hidden until required.

[@ilikefrogs4291]

why not just make an advanced settings tab at that point, forcing a player to open a separate config is just bad ux

[@stysan]

update: update, japan:

[@NekomiKiyomiVT]

One thing I'd absolutely love in lazer as someone who's mained lazer for 1-2 years now, is the ability to view/edit actual files of skins. If we can edit the actual files of skins, I'll probably never have to even think about touching stable again (apart from if I'm showing a non-osu friend a gimmick/modchart/2B map)

[@baconeko]

iirc I believe skin files are stored in lazer the same way beatmaps are, as a binary file format which isn’t able to be directly parsed or edited (meaningfully) using file explorer. Hopefully the skin editor can replace everything that editing files for stable does, but idk when that will happen.

[@NekomiKiyomiVT]

@@baconeko There's actually an option to temporarily access a beatmaps folder within the editor, letting you see the actual files in your native file explorer, I believe the folder gets deleted and stored back into the usual files with any changes made after you exit the editor, I'm thinking a similar thing could be done with specific skin folders.

[@MsSuperDSi]

well wouldn’t you know it there’s a PR that adds just that, and it works basically the same way as the external edit in the beatmaps editor does - it’s still in progress though, so no ETA but eventually it should get in!

[@baconeko]

@@MsSuperDSi good to hear! that’ll be a great step forward in lazer’s useability

[@Shen-wh7rq]

@@NekomiKiyomiVT peppy talked about this when temporarily beatmap export was added. Basically he said we'll get skin editing next update, but it never came

[@ВОССНІ]

improved collections menu would be really nice!! being able to organize them more neatly into seperate sub categories or folders

[@IllusionSign]

THIS, Also, being able to filter using multiple collections at once (finger control collection + aim collection at once)

[@archive9368]

+1 for this! Now it feels very barebones

[@TheFrostedDev]

Another thing i would like to see added at some point in the (probably distant future) is uhh pls could we maybe have support for TAG maps in some way since ngl it'd be really cool being able to have a different type of co-op gameplay experience, and ultimately this is still missing from stable (im aware tho that this is probably ages away as it relies on a ton of other stuff being implemented and solidified first + tag isnt that widely-played, though I feel that if done properly, it could have some potential)

[@순수한일삼이]

Yeah, gotta be alot of fun with lazer's notelock. Also hope there will be a way to save tag co-op replay with multiple cursors at once after finishing the map

[@astraha.]

Man, I remember playing tag with a few friends back in the days. I would really like it to be seen in Lazer as well.

[@Jaffa__]

I second this as a tag cult member

[@Yammers__]

YES! I think online Tag maps could work too! If each person has their notelock tied to themselves I'm sure it could be a fun feature

[@TheFrostedDev]

stretching a bit further but ngl would be really cool if there was some proper way of being able to do this in lazer's editor as well like i can legit imagine what crazy stuff ppl could do by bringing modern mapping styles to TAG omg hear me out: operation zenithfall but TAG4 and it's still like at least 7 stars for each player map would finally be able to fully keep up with camellia's 🔥

[@foxyops]

i wonder if we will ever get a update that will allow you to completely turn off background images

[@TX2015]

But background dim is already 100% in almost all cases--

[@foxyops]

@ i mean turning of background dim in the song sollect

[@Nekomosh004]

Yes for this. Making all beatmap backgrounds into defaults would probably work. The usecase here is for avoiding certain lewd or unwanted (personal preference) backgrounds. The 100% dim background only works inside the gameplay. I'd prefer them turned off for everything.

[@garretshadow152]

I saw a little script that replace all background images on 1px img. Iirc it was created for reduce maps size, but maybe it will works for your purpose too

[@slim197]

you could technically just skin over it in the main menu

[@Kalogatosi]

Ui is the last piece of the osu!lazer puzzle for me, keep up the good work!!

[@hhuyenden]

5:55 I've been waiting for this maxpp feature for about 2 years, now it's here, awesome

[@simonced]

I discovered OSU! on Linux thanks to lazer and I do play it quite often. I am bad at it, but I have so much fun! Keep up the good work guys!

[@BluJellu]

tysm for decimal scroll speed ive been switching between 28 and 29 when i needed 28.5 the most

[@surv5k]

With each update, lazer looks better and better. at this point, the only thing really keeping me from maining lazer is just how the UI feels (primarily song carousel). it's very slick and pretty, but stable's UI feels a little less cluttered and more cozy despite being more disjointed overall (that's just my opinion tho) ...i also just really like the stable-style score screen... :p anyways enough yap, peppy & all the contributors are doing a great job 😁

[@ammardian]

That mania change just converted me to lazer, that's amazing.

PLEASE don't diminish the settings! More setting are GOOD! Reorg is fine but don't diminish! Please!

[@eshleyyy]

Im a relatively new player, having started setting more than 10 plays a month in about october, and pretty much as soon as I found out about lazer, how it looks and how it feels - I immediately jumped ships. Mainly the abundancy of practice-oriented mods, customizability for many mods (even if they dont allow gaining pp), smooth GUIs - it turned a game that I once thought was mostly an artifact of time, into a modern, pleasant experience, and I cant be thankful enough for peppy and his team actually working on lazer actively alongside stable and slowly building it up into what seems to be a bright future for osu!

[@Yammers__]

Hi Peppy! I love your game and I've been playing lazer for a while now! I really dislike the song select though. I thought I could get used to it but I just haven't been able to. It's really hard to determine the star rating of any maps I play as I usually like to just shut off my brain and play rather that having to scope out my entire screen for the star rating. I enjoyed the system where maps were automatically separated into groups based on their star rating and difficulties were separated although they were the same song. This may be just me or a very small portion of the community but it was been the only frustrating thing that I haven't heard anything about until today. :3

[@justinwimmer4667]

what i am missing the most in song select ever since i switched from stable to lazer is the ability to group by achieved ranks

[@proxas9878]

been using lazer for almost 2 years now, appreciate all the works you guys have done.

[@fyve2806]

osu! updates never disappoint me in term of quality and their (dev team) decisions

[@carterbeaver4437]

I have been away from osu for some years now last time I really played was about 2018-2019, I still come back for a week or 2 here and there. This is the first update I have personally seen of Lazer and omg the progress that has come along is great. I'll personally wait for the full release but keep up the good work guys

[@takoz53_osu]

I love these update videos and always look foward to them, so good! Keep it up!

[@nightbush]

would be another nice update to add skinnable menu sounds, i really miss those

[@Remyria]

5:24 I was one of those poor souls who messed up a many beatmap playlist

[@050_WeiXian]

2:56 YES FINALLY

[@blazeofhopeyt]

I wish we could still use the original osu! interface and how skins affect it. It's still amazing how you guys have expanded to so many different platform but the OG layout and design is unmatched. I notice how differently skins are in the main game than lazer. Normally skins revamp the whole game, from song selection to the pause screen but in lazer the interface is stuck to the default. Anyway, I wish you guy all the best on your journey.

[@venvenichan]

a thing i wish we could get is a option to show a few legacy skinning elements like on the menus and ranking screens

[@kanjdostuff]

didn't expect a lazer update today but hey it's something

[@avail57]

the one thing that really bothers me about lazer still is how overwhelming the song select menu is. there's definitely TMI on the song select

[@Hascoo]

One thing i really wish for (do not know if its already a thing in some way) is the ability to save a copy of a map with rate and difficulty changes, basically like how osu!trainer makes difficulties. So like you wouldn't have to change the rate and diff every time you want to play that map if you like it just at that specific bpm or whatnot. Thank you for all you do

[@swagularindividual3593]

the editor changes are underrated ngl mainly the ctrl click one

[@DaVince21]

The settings are a long list right now, but an easy and quick thing you could experiment with is to require people to click on those left hand items and _only_ see settings related to that. So vertical tab based, more or less.

[@SteveEricJordan]

there should be a main settings page with ALL settings available in the game, to go through once after installing and forget about after. other places, like the leaderboard, could have their relevant settings too, or link to their spot in the settings page, but they should also be on the main settings page, so people don't have to search all over the application. also i would slim down the main settings and add an advanced settings button. i really don't like fiddling with config files.

[@notlucid]

The Bloom mod is fun, but I feel like it would be more fun if you could increase the final size multiplier to cover your entire screen.

[@lothricel]

cant imagine if lazer finally drops and be the only stable version

[@mravocadothx]

Max PP showable in the menu is actually soooo nice

[@LwL_]

If you rework the options menu into tabs (which is probably a good idea because that thing is LONG) please keep the ability to search (cross-tab) though, it's absolutely amazing and I sorely miss it in everything that doesn't have it. Basically what firefox does, though I'm thinking horizontal tabs work better since having different directions for the options per tab as for the tabs helps separate them mentally imo

[@fallingstar6191]

I feel like laser is finally usable (as someone who refused to move off stable). The only thing that is still preventing me from fully swapping is the very painful process of multiplayer. I can't tell if it's me, but it's incredibly difficult for me to invite say, another friend into a room. I also miss bancho bot and it's command system for mp, I'm still extremely accustomed to it.

[@sweet__cloud]

I've switched to lazer in recent times, but the main thing I'm sad about is that last I checked, you only had global beatmap settings, and if you wanted to, say, enable video on one specific map and not all you'd have to globally enable videos for the time you play that one map before switching back. If this were fixed I believe I would have no complaints about lazer. And either way, thank you for the good work on a game I enjoy greatly!

[@w878102331]

hope there’s more community features such as shows spectating players or showing notification which of my friend is online(on stable/on lazer)and there current status and also hopefully there will be more collection features such as collection.db export (I’ve added lots of song to my collections and I’m still adding it, currently I download the songs and manage them on stable, sync them everytime via the lazer setup wizard, because there’s no way I can back up my collections on lazer😢hope there is third party program or official feature where allows me to back up those collections)

[@XLGamer10]

The biggest issue for me still is that hidden is different for stable in a worse way where it's less bright it feels like

[@Semitura]

I hope the next updste involved UI skinning. Honestly for me that's the reason I've not switched to lazer yet. The skinning element of the game its only shown inside the game in Lazer. Make me be able to change how the UI looks (at least different colors, the star rating...) and I'm sold.

[@icewinter12]

i live for this format of candid, irl update vids, they're very pleasant also pishi

[@ItsFlom]

Pishifat's presence in that attire is that for which I strive.

[@smith_htims]

0:25 - where are we going to put them Throw them all in their own toggle section like key bindings and forget about it, even if people have to go look up the name of the setting when they want to change something, which most will and have done for years with many settings in many games anyway, it's still infinitely better than just forcing one of the options with no way of changing it. I genuinely can't fathom how you can think "oh no, they wont be able to find it" or "it'll be to cluttered" and then decide it's better for there to not be an option at all, when you can just hide them all and let people find them with the search bar and or google when and if needed. You could literally make it a web thing where you have to do one of the new impossible captchas every time you want to toggle something and it would STILL be infinitely better than forcing one of the two or getting a middle of the road "solution" where both groups lose out.

[@XMaxJunior]

I think they just need to reorganize all the settings and create an advanced settings category for the less used options, that would already help with this issue imo

[@XMaxJunior]

I don't see they removing any setting from lazer apart from the already in the works song select and result screen redesign

[@linuxshawty]

1:24 expanded sub sections under user interface?

[@Bulek_]

[@addisonjudah]

sorry I didn’t mean to add the emoji it comes off as rude I think

[@kaimuu]

@@addisonjudah that's just about changing the base version of song select and the result screen to be better, not skinning support which will happen but we have no idea when since it's not something they're really working on right now

[@DeanHerbertMooCow]

first we fix the base implementation, then we consider skinning. also, you can already skin song select using overlays and additive elements, some people have made pretty creative setups with it!

[@furdoxspam]

@@DeanHerbertMooCow ah, thanks!

[@huh0123]

Here is an option to fix settings and make it… readable. Make it color coded, different sections have different colors. Like gameplay being osu pink. Skinning blue, display changes orange, etc etc. whatever you want.

[@endizza]

I wish in lazer, if you select the classic mod, scores would still get ranked, I understand why it isn't but I hate having to switch back to stable in order to rank classic scores, notelock on certain songs gives better acc and readability

[@finesseandstyle]

lazer needs a setting import from stable, people don't want to reconfigure from scratch, especially as lazer has way more options to scroll through

[@pianoplayermanuel]

There is something I've been yearning for for mania gameplay: allowing hardrock to increase the OD and HP, increasing the difficulty to get a certain score, and award you more pp, no need to add score. The decimal scroll speed meter is awesome; I like that change, thank you.

[@-xenai-]

I think Hardrock doesn't work for Mania because it would break something, a certain mapping pattern. I forgot what it was though. Chordjack?

[@keypp373]

[@trollocat]

pishi that look is the lookest so far, keep pishing

[@zeppie_]

If you want to keep lazer accessible for new players, I'd really recommend you change the hit rating text to be more positive. At it stands, a new player that's new to rhythm games will only be seeing 'meh's and 'ok's on their screen, with occasional 'great's. Imagine how discouraging that must feel for that player, to have their performance be judged like that just because they're starting out. This naturally isn't a problem for more experienced players, but those are not the only ones playing osu. I'd really encourage the osu team to take a second look at that and come up with a naming scheme which ensures that new players have a good first-time experience with laser

[@BGDMusic]

mania is almost actually playable now, hooray! good progress is being made

[@benjamin_reborn691]

[@ignacio4244]

I think the majority of people think the song select menu should be revamped, when we select a beatmap it has too much space on screen reducing the space for prev and next songs on the list. Its too much focused on current song selected and it should be more global view

osu: 🟣 osu, japan: 🇯🇵

[@makary8062]

Hey guys is there already or maybe are you thinking about adding "setting profiles"? What do i mean by that is u select for example setting for osu standard and every single possible setting would be the same like in osu standard, what was talked about in video - making game more appealing to different receivers (like settings more inclined to japanese community liking), or some settings profiles for low end devices, maybe minimalist profile type?

[@makary8062]

Oh and maybe something like ability to turn on advanced settings (i think it was talked about under this vid) - so making base menu for settings way simpler and after toggling advanced settings option u could have the same appearance as is now (i think mainly new players would benefit from it, even i playing osu for 4 years was a bit overwhelmed from all the options)

[@derhesligebonsaibaum]

cool changes but I have to be hyped about Ghost Assassin in lazer updates

[@kr3mega]

In Lazer, the scoreboard hiding function doesn't work perfectly in multiplayer, unlike stable, it doesn't hide completely. Please look at this!🙏 Suggestion: Add three functions to the [Tab] key: 1. Show Scoreboard 2. Partially hide the Scoreboard 3. Hide the scoreboard completely

[@HMPerson2]

peppy has previously tweeted that this is intentional

[@CrystalLily1302]

Yeah I find this very annoying because it literally covers parts of the playable area and is very distracting. I don't know why they've decided that we shouldn't be able to hide it.

[@leaf1208]

Beyond new features, what encourages stable players to trry out lazer more than anything, is a setting-porting feature that loads player's local settings from stable to lazer on installation. A stable player for years on end has many quirky settings, such that he may not even know all of them himself. A new environment, UI, plus foreign settings is just too much of a transition for players that do not have the commitment to do so. Personally, I could not play Lazer simply because I was a die hard fan of my skin, and any changes to that just threw my game off such that I uninstalled Lazer in under an hour.

I already switched to lazer and i am glad I did. The Song select indeed bothers me a bit, but i can live with it for now.

There are Maps, that are 3× as hard with Slider ACC, Like Pretty little psycho DT, would Love to get a Score on them with Classic, or just more pp with lazer.

[@vortextual2555]

One setting I would like to see implemented is relating to the quick restart change. I want to have it so when I click the restart button it quick restarts. The menu to change map setting would only open when I first open the map. My muscle memory is trained to use that button and not use the key bind, don't know why I do it like that I just do.

I don't play osu! anymore, however I watch every single one of these videos please never stop

[@Dape-w-ez]

I love the progress on Lazer, but I still dream about it like a huge tool for creators in OSU! to customize everything, like skins or templates that changes the position of buttons and options, or even don't display them if the skin creator don't think are necessary. And not just for skins and options, but song select, scores display, and a lot more. Though this would be a way different approach to the development of Lazer, probably more focused on the possibilities and accessibility for the community to customize, the new system of mods and PP, and patching all the little gaps that could break the game as a consequence of the customizability, then the community could not be mad at how things are. I know that at this point this is really hard, but as I said this is just how I dreamily thought about it.

[@DeanHerbertMooCow]

[@totally_not_a_bot]

People have been complaining about skinning for a long time. I'm someone who has been maining Lazer for 2-3 years, and man, skinning in it sucks and always has. I just want to change the numbers to dots, or play with my cursor color, or mass delete menu elements from a "streamer recreation" skin for personal use, or modify the hitsounds, or... I enjoy skinning to an extent, and in lazer it's just painful. The overlay options are dope, but the more core elements are just nasty to change. In Stable I can tweak things on the fly, reload the skin, I'm done in two minutes or less. In Lazer it's a minimum of five, AND I need to deal with deleting draft skins, or weird name updates or whatever else. Also, please release the Lazer skins as reference skins or allow them to be exported. Argon Pro is awesome, but there are two or three things I would personally tweak because I like things a certain way.

Since i play catch and mania, im used to select mods with keyboard only (F1 -> "d" for dt, "f" for hidden, and "1" to deselect all), its just a quality of life option so i don't have to use the mouse lmao (Also useful for notebook users )

you can already do this, go to settings and enable classic hotkeys for mods, disable auto-focus search in mod select and change the deselect all mods keybind in the keybinds

[@Vasycss]

@evill727 oh didn't know, thanks for the info!

[@jh29a]

I want to be able to turn off the hitsound displays turning into dots. They do so way too early relative to how cramped it gets. They also all turn into dots even if there is just one object that has cramped hitsound points. Sliders make this worse because the sliderslide point appears to be on a snapping that I might not ever use if the slider is very short. I want my screen to be full of information, and this either forces me to push a bunch of it off the sides by zooming in, or i just don't get to see it. It would be better if only the part of the timeline where the cramping actually is did this.
