Yes except I imagine this to be customizable by the user, I would really like to see something like that working more like a collectable rather than something you can import your own image into

haha my bad, corrected it now, I have no idea how I made that mistake

^Also, didn't you mean in the OP that name tags were those stuffz AROUND the panel (the vines in your example)?

No, not necessarily, but that could be an idea

Very well thought out idea, OP. I like it a lot.

I'd toss you some stars if I had any :(

But it's actually the osu!next feature lol

so something like titles in mmorpgs?
sounds pretty interesting to me tbh. altho the ingame name tag (i dont even know if that's the right name for them but ill just use the same term you use) is currently used to show you what the person is doing. how would this go together with name tags?

also if everybody has such a fancy skin like the one in OP, it would get really crowded and confusing to see the relevant information.

If the brightness of the patterns is similar, changing the shade slightly to blue, or still letting it go black when a person is afk could sort the first problem, regarding the information, I don't think it would be a problem if the shading is correct. Alternatively, there could be a stroke around the nametag which indicates the status, for e.g. a red stroke indicating the person is mapping, and a white stroke which indicates the person is playing

I really like this gadrin :D
A few rough ideas on how one would get nametags:
- If you have #1 on a map you can have the maps background (or part of it) as a nametag, for any difficulty,
might be a cool way to show off scores and encourage competitive play
- Maybe award nametags to people who only have one mod combination in the top performances, like a nomod/hddt/ tag
- Name tags to staff members or competition winners?
I hope this idea gets implemented :D

I don't like the idea because it destroys the concept of color-coding user tags depending on what they're doing, which I think is a lot cleaner and more useful. It would make the playerlist look messy and inconsistent, which already seems to have a hard time updating ranks and information for every user, now imagine how that would work if every user came with a custom name tag. If they're optional, which they should be, they might as well not exist. Unnecessary.
Barely anyone would have them tho

Fair enough, but If the nametags were pre-loaded when the game starts it might reduce some lag and delay in loading

You could probably make an option about it tbh. Either leave the original way of the nametag or have it change the colour/shade of it. Then both sides would be satisfied. A third option could also be disabling them if someone dislikes them.

I don't want loading times when the game starts. I think you can let it load without ruining performance just how the rankings and other stuff on player info loads. This would require a faster internet connection for some though.

Who can dislike these? Anyway, changing the color or shade of it won't work for all cases. I suggest a ribbon of light on the bottom edge indicating such thing, which highlights when you hover over it. Something like this (I might have overdid it with the yellow):

It would take a sec or two to load considering that those are simple 2d images, it could even happen during the "welcome to osu" message.

Wow
All those stars O.o
Devs, gimme stars so I can shoot 'em

Cool concept! I wish I could throw stars on this one although a nametag for every map might just be too much.
Suggesting stuff without really remembering the previous suggestions:

1. Nametag per certain rank achieved
2. Nametag for game contribution (mapping, modding, helping people in threads, skinning, etc.)
3. Achievement and title based

There should be a way to support custom name tags. maybe it could be done through contribution (a corresponding tag for a skin you made, wallpaper of your map that got ranked, and some other ways)

Yea some of those are good ideas, the nametags for maps is just a potential idea that someone came up with.

I mean that this was meant to be done in osu!next in the first place, the profiles will be more customizable and we will be able to pick a background for our profile, and it will be resized and used as a background from the IG user panel.




I recommend to keep track of http://www.next.ppy.sh as it will make you salivate hard upon seeing what flyte is gonna create.

Yes, we will be able to pick not COLLECT them. These collectible player panels would be special in some sort of way, not just some picture on the rectangle. Look at the example given in OP.(Though if the player panels will be only customizable with set pictures given by the webpage and you cant add ones yourself, supporter or not, then its fine to have them just as a rectangle picture. Since then its impossible to recreate them in anyway.)

Want this special kind of player panel? Rank 5 maps and get it.
Want this one? Get a 300pp+ score.
This one looks cool? Get 4000 combo on a ranked map.
The list can go on and on.

The point of this is to give people some sort of a reward besides pp. Something that you could show off and would make your player panel unique. These would show people how good you are at mapping, playing etc. You could make some for forums. 4000 posts and you get one. There is a lot of ways to play around with this and make it fun for players. But I strongly think there should be a way to turn them off also and have them as basic as possible for people who prefer that. This is how I imagine them working :)
Vahukomm_old
I was just giving examples. I agree on the term that people should be able to add the pictures themselves. I think peppy even mentioned having that for supporters in some osu!talk. The only reason I brought up the option for them not to is that I dont know how peppy would like out of the border effects like on the OP.

4000 posts? Right, let's shitpost everywhere because we need that panel \o/
You can also do 4000 useful posts like me :P

Gadrin, your avatar is cute

Back to topic, I like this in the fact you need to collect them, makes playing more rewarding

it's just 2 days ago
but look at how many stars here :) :) :)

i hope i have supporter :(

First collectible would be the beginner name tag. Everyone should get that one easily. :)

i prefer something that shows of something you have done infinitely more times over just importing a picture from your pc, even if it means less different kind of user panels. there can even be super special things like "pass unforgiving with halftime" or "get an EZ fc on a 6+ star map" or something so they will be rare and people know you have done something special.
I think you want more achievements to be added to the game. Just by looking at your achievements, you have quite a bunch unlocked. If anything, I think osu! needs to update its achievement list in that case. As for this request, I'm against limiting to some preset tags. Trust me, they will get boring in due time.
Topic Starter
gadrin
My idea was to have more than achievements, to have collectibles that you can feel value towards. While you could get the collectibles for achievements yes, they would in general be more than that. Things that you simply gain not only for certain in-game tasks that you completed but for things like having a #1 on a map for e.g. as well. Something like that would be hard to achieve through achievements.

Having cool patterns and cool name tags to enhance the look of your profile that you actually WORKED FOR or GOT LUCKY rather than opening a file in my documents and importing it. That way it will feel much better and will hold a better sentimental value as I said before. People will be able to play the game for other reasons. One of my friends said that he liked the idea because it would let him play the game for other goals rather than farming pp, such as farming name tags.

It would in general add diversity to the game.

Alright, this needs to stop. There are 2 ends of the spectrum to this:

End A:
  • Have name tags collectible pieces. Users will be able to create their own, but gain them by earning them.
    Pros:
    [list:1337]- Make them actually worth something
    And if you want to go to the extreme:

    gadrin wrote:

    I am not in the favor of including any sort of real currency system involved with the nametags, but I'm just saying that if the game developers are really desperate, this could be another source of income.
    - Would satisfy players who like collectibles
    - Would force players to be more "adventurous" within the community, gameplay, osu! culture, etc.
cons:
  • - Restricts customization
    - People who can care less about earning them, will care less.
    - Basically a duplicate of the already existing achievements
End B:
  • Have name tags as artworks anyone can make and share (much like how avatar requests are)
    Pros:
    [list:1337]- allows people to be creative with the nametags
    - would interest all players
    - <can't think of any more at the movement>
cons:
  • - More like the extension of avatars.
    - <can't think of any more at the movement>
Personally I would recommend a poll to stop this arguing, but since there is enough stars going for end A and enough has been said by me and Transformau5, I'll just leave it be and accept the final outcome of what will be implemented.

Also this one under "Other requests/information" made me look left and right due to contradiction.

What I meant is that there would be a lot of skins, however a one specific tag would be rare. This would mean that most players would have one/two or more, but it would be hard to find people with the same nametags unless the specific one that they have is a bit more common that the rest.

Please focus on how to make a feature work well for osu! Leave the supporter/duplicate decision to staff.

Once again let me emphasise, if you don't have anything constructive to share, don't post. The ability to post is a privilege and if you don't cherish it, it can be taken away from you.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't people be able to give critical feedback about ideas such as this in order to evaluate this idea and try to tackle the arising problems with further ideas? Discussions and critisism open a door for new ideas and possibilities.
