All the person complaining are just those high rank ones who are sad now cause they don't see anymore themself in the first page :cry:
I'm so sad nope

No offence, but it was seriously better the way it was before with the NORMAL ranking system. I think we should have a choice or button to click to have this system or not... :\

In my opinion this update will destroy osu! as it won't be able to catch up with white wolf or cookiezi anymore....
With score it would still have been possible even if it would have taken a long time...

To be honest, I liked the Ranked score system better, because, if this is what I am thinking, most of the people will get pp from a single song (if I am not correct then sorry), but with Ranked score, you MUST get new songs, or try to get 1 or 2k more than previous play. And no, I am not one of the high rank players, I was at #58000+ Just my opinion
xiceyx
And this is just crazy (sorry), but I have been playing like 5 matches today with a few misses, and my original ranks keep going backwards and no score added to my ranked score :\

Everything was working out great, I found this game 1 year ago and I fell in love it was so fun! But now it looks like it's going to get worse.... sorry people but this has ruined my total game play.. :|

Personally, Although my pp rank is lower than my score rank, that doesn't affect me a lot. Since the pp system came out, I started to practice skills more than just use none to FC a map.
Anyway, I understand those people who worked really hard on their score ranks complaining about the new system. Maybe a small demonstration of a score rank on the panel will make everyone happy. (pp rank size big, small score rank)

I totally agree on that. I lost around 1500~ ranks, however, I don't care that much, but I don't see why there shouldn't be the score rank next to the pp rank, a little bit smaller.
Would make people happy to see the effort they put in getting high ranks (through farming, yes, but that's just another way to play, isn't it?) isn't completely forgotten.

However, awesome update :D

Although my pp rank is lower than score rank, I like this update! I'm just glad to see ctb rank, instead of standard... :)

score rank is still visible besides pp

so what's the problem?
TechnoMaster
Cool :(
hinamizawan
There are 4-digit people on the performance ranking on first page and do you guys think they always work hard on score like if I would to being insanely skilled?
Seriously, you didn't have to stomp me in the face my pp rank on osu! interface, my score rank was nicer...

Problem is just that in-game, you can't see a person's score rank unless you open his profile. :? In-game ranks are easier to show, which makes their score rank"disappear".
benjanyan
I'm not 100% on how PP works but I prefer it to the old way of ranking as I agree that skill is what should be ranked. At the end of the day, I enjoy playing the actual game anyway, not solely making some number higher for the "I'm better than you" factor.

Also, are the osu png banners that show your rank and everything going to be updated to this new scoring system or are they being phased out?

Thanks for update.

Lulz. Be better than them if you want to catch them. Passing them in score rank won't make any difference.

Alltur
pp rank is harder to raise it up than score rank for sure, but this indicator certainly shows that who is in higher rank by their skills.
Just a problem that I think would be is going one point in pp down will make me go down by 100s~1000s in ranks. XP
Because we are cramming a lot of people within 1~6,704pp [#1 White Wolf-san's pp], it seems inevitable.

Probably this will encourage people who only does hard/insane maps to do easy maps also because it is counted as separate ranking for each diff XD..

This update split the ppl into 3 groups,
First group that have higher score but lower pp, who wants the old way of ranking
Second group that have higher pp than score, who love this update
Third ppl that doesnt really care...

well for me the only problem is the pp ranks for standard, ctb and taiko got mixed up is kinda confusing(in game)
maybe like the others have said put some toggle so we can differenciate the ranks and less confusing
but overrall this is a game and we need to have fun in the game. i fell in love to the game cus of the gameplay not the rank system, heck i played offline for a year cus i dont have internet at my house when i got this game from my friend and i still enjoyed it. It's not like peppy change the gameplay.

Well this just an opinion from 1 player
And thanks peppy for the update
Winshley
Nooooo, I don't want to be on Top 1000. I would prefer be deep down at rank #50k+. xD Just kidding, of course. :P

Just adding suggestions:
- Accuracy stats should be at the same line as pp. Accuracy label can be shortened as "Acc." and Ranked score can be placed at the new line. (After all, the new Accuracy stats are based on pp anyway)
- Ranked score can be expanded into detailed info instead of shortening them (e.g: "20,000,000" instead of "20.00m"), or you can keep it shortened but adding a Ranked score ranking besides it (so it'll look like, for example, "20.00m (#100,000)").
- Add a new Online Users sorting by Ranked score (the old ranking system is sorted by their ranked score anyway ;))

Sonez_old
Ranking up feels really stale without real-time updates. Hope to see this improved soon.

Also for people complaining, just abandon the old way of ranking up. Instead of playing a huge range of maps, find a nice group of songs you like and just work on getting top 100 in them.
Rey-volution
I don't care about system rank again anymore, I think the most Important is HAVE FUN :D
Aquamarine
Looks like I found the thread I was looking for.

I don't like the new PP system, but at the same time I believe the decision to have one was a good choice. This game has 22k+ ranked maps, and this makes it very difficult for new players to rank up.

In the old system, ranking up doesn't imply skill, but rather time. However, time=experience=skill; so to an extent having a high rank would generally mean you're good at the game.

This new system is kind of similar because it's point based, but to gain points you need to rank on the top 500's. The amount of points you gain is based on how 'difficult' the map is. This new system kind of implies you already have experience, and it rewards you for doing good on individual maps.

What I don't like about the new system is that you have to rank in the top 500's to get PP. This endorses the player to play the same map over and over again until they get a good score. I don't like that type of game play, and this is the whole point of my post.

Overall I'm fine with having PP shown in my stats but having my picture-tag-thing in game show my PP rank instead of the other system I do not like. The new system shows us skill, but experience is a very important achievement too. I think of the old system as kind of a single player game achievement sort of thing: do maps, accumulate points, get higher in ranks. It's nice. The new system forces you to be less casual.

I'd like to see my picture-tag-thing in game to show the older system again, and have PP stats shown on your main page.
Oh, and I don't like how old maps (and new ones that age) will not be considered in the PP system.

Summary: I don't like how the system promotes hardcore players and alienates the less serious but skilled peeps.

There should be different tabs for each mode, showing all taiko, ctb and standard players together look messy.

The problem is that all people start crying about it because they all ranked, ranked and ranked (farming).
Now osu focuses on the skill and people complain about it. Of course they do cause their ranking got worse now.
You guys should just start to practice the game and that's it.

PP exist already a long time and it was quite obvious that it will appear in-game. Especially the distinction between all the 3 game-mods was necessary.

You better start to practice on your skill and get better in this game. That's what the game is made for.
It is a rhythm game and not a "let's make as much points as possible to get famous or whatever"-game.

I know a lot of people that have a worse ranking score but higher performance points cause those are the ones who try to improve in their skill and not their rank!
The performance is the real competition, everyone can be a #1 on ranking-scores if he plays a lot. So the new system is just fairness.

People who cannot deal with it are just on the wrong place.

No there is no option and there probably won't be. If you are better in CTB it will automatically be shown. That's it. Go and practice more standard and it'll be shown always on your username.
Martinawa
Yes! This is what I have been expecting for a long time. Now everyone is in their own play mode and the ranking is more accurate. Thank you peppy!

I love the mode display; thanks a bunch, peppy!

I had less problems if the score would have 1 or 2 more digits on the panel
It is a minor complain though ^^
I think the update is nice. People hate changes but they always get used to it quickly ._.
I like it because my pp ranking is higher than my score rank :D

let us filter mode when sorting player panels by rank

mostly just so I can filter out all these non rhythm game players (aka ctb) that I've never heard of

Or perhaps make it sort by each player's pp for whichever mode you're currently playing/song selecting (or last played if in the editor/title screen/etc). So this would sort all the ctb players to the bottom if you last played osu! (unless they happen to have high osu pp too), but filter osu! players to the bottom when you're playing ctb, etc etc.

Mostly because osu! players have zero interest in seeing who the highest ctb players online are at any given moment, and it clogs up what they actually want to see (top osu players). Probably the opposite for ctb players as well.

EDIT: nevermind apparently this is already coming.

...but if it's the selected sort method, you should instead implement the "auto pick based on game mode you're playing" instead. Cause that would totally be better ;)

In the next update... please:

Ranking per tabs:

Is very uncomfortable see all the ranks as this...

Seconded. Although I can cope really fine with a current system.
Also, pp ranking is great. Been hoping for some performance-based ranking for soooo long time.

Wojtek_old_1
I don't like how default mode for user profile and usercard is chosen. Because other modes are less popular than main mode you can get very high pp on taiko or ctb with just few play and then taiko or ctb becomes your default mode even if you play mostly standard mode.

I suggest other method to choose user default mode:
-by number of plays
-by last game played

Lot of people complain about use of performance instead of ranked score as main rank but this is just apples vs oranges. real problem is that rankings for different modes get more and more mixed in new versions and it is very confusing.
Nharox
Could someone explain me what "age of record" means? Ranked maps which are older than one year won't give me any points?
makeamove

NullWojtek wrote:

That doesn't mean there's less people in taiko or ctb ranks. Even if you only played taiko once, you have your own rank and stuff. So if you get higher pp in taiko than in standard, it means you are better in taiko than standard. Therefore osu! takes it as your main game mode, even if you don't actually feel that it is your main game mode. But one thing is sure, it is the mode where you have the best skills. In my opinion it's totally perfect.

NullWojtek wrote:

Last game played? Now that would be way too confusing.
Number of plays? Doesn't sound good either, retries = plays

IMO this ranking is way better.

Nharox wrote:

It's referring to the age of your records, not the age of the map itself. Ex. A #1 score on a 2008 map would give you the same pp as a #1 score on a 2012 map if all other variables were the same (That's almost never the case, but that's besides the point). However, a year-old #1 would give a lot less pp than a #1 you got 3 days ago if all other variables were the same.

A change for the better. A rank system (mainly when it doesn't imply direct competition) will always have flaws, but this one seems to make more sense than total score, even more when osu has an infinite number of ranked songs. Though I can understand how frustrating it can be for users dedicated to the old one, but it's not like that rank was destroyed.

I think it's a good idea because now have the ctb and taiko player their real rank, not like 200000 rank, but he/she is truely a pro at ctb or taiko.

So much QQ in this thread

PS: Gotta agree about the std/taiko/ctb tabs for each mod, compared to std, is a lot more easier to go up on rank on ctb and taiko.

Yeah because getting #1 on some maps you take interest is way harder than trying to clear all ranked maps, IMO.

And some people can't accept that. Anyways, I share your opinion. Indeed, Score-Ranking is the wrong way,
becouse it doesn't show the "Skill" of the player. And I also agree with the last sentence. People who get upset
over the change, are just mad becouse now, their "bad" rank is showing but that happens. So improve your skill and there won't
be a problem anymore. Just stop complaining.

Most likely rank farmers aren't players like Cookiezi or White Wolf but at least there is effort to FC every single beatmap out there, while naturally skilled players prefer getting #1 on famous maps and make feel farmers like nothing, I don't agree with that. Or is just peppy asking rank farmers to get #1 on maps while farming? Lol looks like that's something WW would do.

CtB is also a rhythm game, if you think this you probably never tried to play without numbers above the ryuuta and tried to catch a timing jump. I played this way for a long time and of course I used Hidden too, so I needed to be able to play after the rhythm. Anyways, just saying, without offensive thoughts.
