Balance Changes
Heartbreak (12)
(Gold) – PFC two or more songs to -995k+ two or more songs
– Removes some of the frustration of a single misstep ruining a score for what is meant to be the most accessible entry-level Trial.
Celestial (13)
(Gold) – AAA one or more songs to -AAA two or more songs
(Amethyst) – PFC all songs to -2 or less total Greats, Goods, or Misses
– Celestial Gold was nerfed a little too much in the last balance patch, and this should bring it a little more in-line.
– Adding the cushion for Greats, Goods, and Misses removes some of the frustration from single missteps or pad errors, while still maintaining the overall EX difficulty.
Daybreak (14)
(Diamond) – 140 missing EX or less to -150 missing EX or less
(Cobalt) – 85 missing EX or less to -100 missing EX or less
(Amethyst) – 50 missing EX or less to -60 missing EX or less
(Amethyst) – PFC all songs to -2 or less total Greats, Goods, or Misses
– The Daybreak EX requirements were just a little too strict, and were toned down to be more accessible across the upper levels.
– Adding the cushion for Greats, Goods, and Misses removes some of the frustration from single missteps or pad errors, while still maintaining the overall EX difficulty.
Hellscape (14)
(Gold) – 960k+ PARANOiA Hades to -950k+ PARANOiA Hades
– The Hades requirement was knocking a few too many people out of their Gold ranks, so it was adjusted.
Clockwork (15)
(Gold) – 960k+ all songs to -950k+ all songs
– 960k was a little too much to ask all-around for the Gold level, so it was toned down.
Pharaoh (15)
(Gold) – 950k+ all songs to -940k+ all songs
(Gold) – 980k+ one or more songs to -975k+ one or more songs
– Like Clockwork, the Gold requirements were just a little too high.
Paradox (16)
(Gold) – 950k+ all songs to -925k+ all songs
(Gold) – 975k+ one or more songs to -940k+ two or more songs
– The Gold requirements on Paradox were simply too hard and needed a re-balance. This should make it more comfortable for Gold players to take on.
Inhuman (16)
(Gold) – 950k+ two or more songs to -940k+ two or more songs
– This Gold requirement feels pretty close to the correct spot, and just needed a little adjustment to be more in-line with other Trials.
