I love how people used to like Xoon packs for their variety, but once we release a 100 pack file with probably more replayable files than any Xoon pack ever, they're all "there are 5 bad files in this so THIS PACK IS BAD!!1!"
News flash: Every file in this pack will be played and at least one person will enjoy it. We got MA files, hard as balls files, midare files, color note dump files, old-school files, so you're going to find a lot of enjoyable material in here regardless of what kind of files you enjoy.

People in general just sux man. Its the nature of human beings to complain about everything. People should just be happy with what they got or what comes out, but that hippy crap wont work here apparently.
The packs fine. You all just have high standards and its just annoying.

well-said
Beware the irrational, however seductive. Shun the 'transcendent' and all who invite you to subordinate or annihilate yourself. Distrust compassion; prefer dignity for yourself and others. Don't be afraid to be thought arrogant or selfish... Suspect your own motives, and all excuses. Do not live for others any more than you would expect others to live for you.
no really pack could've been decent but it's below average thanks to your "cater to all audiences" attitude
you only say that because the only files you like is like 2% of what people step. this is ffr not dark chancellors. you seem to forget the point is to play fun files not structure and technicality.

it's posts like this that make me doubt that Stepmania is a game for fun anymore.
seriously, this pack was compiled in something like 40 days. at first, we thought we were going to get something around 40 decent submissions and release a pack on the level of Xoon 3, but for whatever reason, files kept pouring in and it turned out for the better. there's tons of files I would replay here, and tons I already have replayed. the weird thing for me is that while I do think that elitist packs are much more well put together in terms of presentability, these Xoon packs always turn out quite fun. that's what matters to me.
I get that nobody is going to play all 100 files in this pack. that's fine. it wasn't what we were aiming for. what we were aiming for was a pack that anybody could quickly find some files to their liking. trying to tweak every file to aim towards the same criteria that packs like DCP are graded on would not only have taken longer, it would have defeated the purpose of this pack.
as valid as some of your criticisms are (quite a few of your reviews hit the nail on the head), I still feel like people have forgotten that Stepmania is still a game open to YOUR vision. that's what it used to be like and that's how I want to keep it.
