What's the most legitimate way to reclaim a level I beat in an editor or StartPos copy?

I'm wondering what's considered the most legitimate way to "reclaim" a level if I legitimately beat it from 0% in an editor/StartPos copy.

For context, I use editor copies of levels to practice with Start Positions without making changes to the gameplay or deco. In other words, it's an exact copies of the rated (or unrated) version.

I'm trying to change the way I practice levels, and it's working, but going back and forth between the editor copy and the rated level is honestly very tedious and annoying, especially on mobile.

I'd rather do everything in the editor since it saves time and keeps all my attempts and progress in one place. The problem is that the completion obviously isn't registered on the actual level. So if I wanted to reclaim it on the rated version, would Instant Complete be the best way to go about it, or would using Noclip and actually playing through the level again be considered more legitimate?

I'm mainly wondering what the community considers fair/legitimate in this situation. I'm not trying to fake a completion or get leaderboard stats illegitimately.

Netermind/SerVax Twitter comment flooding

IMPORTANT: IN NO WAY WHATSOEVER AM I EMPATHIZING WITH SERVAX OR SUPPORTING WHAT HE DID. HE IS A BEYOND TERRIBLE PERSON AND IS A HORRID IRREDEEMABLE SCUM OF THE EARTH.

That being said; Netermind, Zoink, and even SerVax himself are being flooded with enormous amounts of hate comments and postings of Ai images condoning what SerVax did a couple months back, while also ruthlessly attacking big names in the community like Doggie, Zoink and even Robtop. These deepfake images include WPopoff walking Zoink like a dog, SerVax crushing Neterminds shark bitmoji with his fists, and other things I probably can’t talk about here. I am at a loss for words, I refuse to believe GD Twitter is a real thing, and warm-blooded creatures blessed with beating hearts and cognitive ability make it their personal mission to reek havoc and erupt disturbance.

Doggie confirms he doesn’t dream about grief

Doggie claims that he’s generally not a “dream rememberer” Although many people joked that 2 years of relentless playtime of grief would agonize him in his rest, we were wrong. Fortunately, doggie gets good sleep and his suffering is only limited to when he is awake. However, he does say he’s dreamt of beating “abyss of darkness” as an interesting information.

The search for Element 111 Rg officially begins

I'm attempting to download 5,000 IDs for my first batch, with more batches to come in the future. Then, when I get enough levels downloaded, I can use the program to zip right through them at lightning speed and try tweaking the fingerprint as many times as I want!

Bought GD after pirating it for 10 years!

Started playing in 2.0 when I was 8 years old, now an adult and I’ve been saving up from my part time job since starting high school. Recently switched to an iPhone and cba to pirate it on iOS + I have a good amount of money to my name, so I figure it’s time to retire the ship. Thank you APK providers and Windows pirates for making my childhood better in tough times :)

Im an osu player who recently started playing gd

Im playing osu since years and I was always interested in geometry dash but never started playing it until I broke my left hand. I thought it was a good oppurtunity for starting geometry dash since I wasnt be able to click circles on osu anymore. Im also designing levels in osu

Everything here is my own opinions, you dont have to argue if you dont like things I said. Criticism is always welcome. I think geometry dash has best visuals between all rythm games (I know gd isnt a rythm game) but it is doing 2 things really wrong. That was also the reasons why I was avoiding playing it. That two flaws are insta death and not being a rythm game. It will make sense when I explain the reasons.

Lets start with insta death. Imagine talking about frame perfects to someone and you have to restart from very beginning when you die. A good amount of people wouldnt want to play that kind of game since its so tedious and hard. But I also agree that insta death is good because you can enjoy beautiful design of the levels and appreciate them more instead of just beating them and moving on. I think there is a smart solution that will make everyone happy.

I will give example from the osu. When you miss a click on osu, it doesnt kill you instantly. Instead, it reduces your hp. When your hp goes to 0, thats when you are dead. And you restore hp by clicking circles. So, for geometry dash, there can be a hp system but it shouldnt make players beat levels much easier. For example lets say we have 5 hp at beginning and we lose 4 hp instead of dying and we restore 1 hp every 10 seconds. In this way, game will be less punishing and you will still need skill and practice for beating levels. This will just prevent undeserved deaths. And this can be adjusted too. In osu, you can adjust how much hp players will lose. For example, for harder maps, you can make players lose less hp so it will be more fun to play harder maps. This should be reverse in geometry dash I think, easier maps should ignore your deaths more while harder maps should be more punishing so we can still protect the insta death effect.

You might ask there is no much difference between a few deaths and no death. Why it will make a difference? I will give a very simple example. Lets sau we need to make a triple spike jump but you clicked sligthly early and you died. For a second scenario, lets say you clicked too early and you landed on second spike. With insta death, both jumps are equaly punishing but with hp system, you will still die when you land on second spike but you will survive when you land on third spike. This can be more precise too. It can depend on touching time. For example if you touch a spike for 0.01 seconds it should take a very small hp but if you touch a spike for a 0.5 seconds, it should either kill you or deal a very big damage. So, this wont make game easier but it will make precision more rewarding.

Another argument here might be verifications and being not respectful for past passes. We can use accuracy here. Luckily we already have noclip and I dont need to explain how accuracy would work. You will need 100% accuracy for verifying levels or for beating them. I dont have a brilliant idea for seperating 100% accuracy beating and less than 100% accuracy beating but its a possible thing to do. Just think it like if you didnt beat a level with 100% accuracy, it doesnt count as beating. Casual players wouldnt mind it and can enjoy game more just by beating levels.

Second problem is gd not being a rythm game. This is what makes geometry dash this hard. In osu, at mad OD (overall difficulty. It adjusts how many time you have for a click) you have 13.33 ms for a perfect click. Its equal to 80 fps frame perfect. You still have 66.7 ms for making that click but we always aim for a perfect click. And usually more than 95-98% of our click are being a perfect click. There are hundreds of clicks in a minutue. Imagine a level having 1000 80 fps frame perfects in geometry dash, it will be impossible. But it wont even be hard if it was following the rythm. There are some levels that synchronized with song and I really appreciate them but we are talking about frame perfects here. Its impossible to sync them with song. For easier levels, I think they are already good enough since you have so much time to click and it doesnt much matter if they are perfect synced or not. But for harder leves, I think this precision is necessary.

This will also make creating levels easier. Because you can adjust where to jump and where to hold according to song and it will be easier to create a layout. So, there should be offset for songs and you can click and choose where jumps will be. Then put objects around that jump. And I think we all agree that leves are synced with the song is really fun to play.

Like I said at first, these are just my opinions and Im a new player. So my ideas might feels wrong for someone who is playing geometry dash for a very long time. But I think this would encourage more players for playing the game. Geometry dash literally has best visual among all rythm games. This changes will make more people to play beautiful levels because usually harder levels have a better decoration. Even if they cant beat them with 100% accuracy, they still should be able to play them without not improving themselves too much. Because the skill gap in this game is so huge. I dont think this is an healthy thing. I just wanted to share my opinions and I also want to hear other people's opinions about this take

Anyone know a sayodevice more durable than the most popular one on amazon?

So the BXTEFUEL sayo is the most popular one, what I’m asking is maybe there’s a brand or something that makes the same thing, but more durable? Because I hear a lot of people say they have to replace their sayos and they aren’t durable. no I’m not getting the wooting uwu. Totally asking for a friend and I’m totally not getting a sayo to beat insane demons.

The worst thing to ever happen to Geometry Dash

Vortrox is an utterly disgusting piece of garbage for what he did on this stream. He was playing Sonic Wave, and someone asked, "What should I do before skeletal shenanigans?" And this utter scumbag piece of trash decided to slip in an undisclosed advertisement by advertising his level, Hello Fitzgerald. How shameless do you have to be? This dude is an utter scumbag. How can anybody support this piece of garbage? Vortrox, you have committed a cardinal sin! No, you have committed every cardinal sin! You are an evil monster! I am totally not a chud who is trying to start drama on GD Twitter. And I'm totally, totally not trying to induce rage bait.
I am utterly disgusted and petrified by this man's actions.
