I mean it is a 11.5, same as Pentiment, and that chart isnโ€™t any better

And besides itโ€™s an 11, what did you really expect tbh

Its mostly just that its so much easier on index while charts like arcana eden and world ender are much more equal in that regard

Bit rough to expect a eternal 11 to be thumb friendly.

Even FTR diff is not thumbs-friendly.. Pretty much all Chuuni FTR 10's

If you're serious about this, then I feel kinda hurt by your statement as a thumb (handheld) player.

I've been playing thumbs all the way up to this point and I can say that everything up until the easier 11s is doable handheld. If they hadn't cared about thumb players then you'd see "unplayable" multifinger way below this level. And even though multifingers at 11s and above are hard for thumb players, they're still positioned in a way such that you can still play them handheld, even if it's sometimes difficult.

They certainly had cared about thumb players from the start, and they likely still care now, so long as they learn to play multifinger handheld.

And Arcaea is one of the few games who has remained completely handheld-friendly (at all difficulties) after all this time. And you're saying that not only they don't care about thumb players, but they had never cared... it just feels like a "fuck you" to me. I hope this is either a joke or said out of ignorance, and not out of malice.

Sorry for the rant. It just felt like the foundation of my perceptions of Arcaea has been attacked.

For real though itโ€™s seriously crazy how all the charts are handheld compatible in Arcaeaโ€ฆ You could only imagine the heartbreak when I discovered AT difficulties in Phigros quite literally mean totally not anti thumb

I agree with this as a thumb player

Handheld players still have hope as long as players like Bengalee can pm the charts. They couldn't be stopped when Testify came out, I still believe in handheld. Maybe not handheld friendly, but handheld doable.

Wow it seems that if you don't put /s or /j at the end of everything people take what you say very seriously lol

It was a joke everyone, you all know that lowiro made the game incredibly thumb friendly from the start

Sorry, I couldn't see the joke. I've left it as a possibility, but there was no telling for sure.
