My bad then because I didn't read correctly.
Shame on me.
Shame on me.
Nothing being said is based off of random assumptions. Players here tested this. Please go over this thread again. Players literally went ahead and tested farming [Hard]s and reported a significant increase in their PP.lolcubes wrote:
We all know what gets taken into account, but we don't know how much.
Depending on BPM/OD/map layout: YES. Big yes. Some Insanes are hard to even FC let alone SS, while Hards on the same mapset as them are ridiculously easy to SS with DT, yes. This is not even uncommon; far from it. The worst part of this is that the system doesn't take your retries into account, so if I know a certain hard with DT is within my ability range I can just farm it until that SS happens and the system will make it look like I'm good enough to get that SS on every try, meanwhile some Insanes are outside of many people's ability to even FC reliably or at all, and have an OD that makes gaining even a low accuracy after retries rather impressive compared to that infinite-retry lowdiff (this is especially bad for top-tier players who play with HR) and the system just neglects this.lolcubes wrote:
Is getting a SS with HD DT on a hard easier than just getting SS on the insane?
This describes professionals in every activity. There's always a bubble of people who are the best, or better, and then a lot of people that can't cut in on them, because they're not as good. What would you prefer? The alternative is that the system should allow everyone to be a pro at any given time without having to take power away from the already existing pros. It would be chaotic, and unfortunately, it doesn't make sense for competition. It's no side effect, it's the core effect of a skill game in development.TheVileOne wrote:
It is farmable, but you have to be a pro already to farm it.I mean it's kind of like all the pros are in this bubble at the top and basically everyone else is stuck below a certain rank. It's very difficult to break that bubble, because it's basically taking pp from the players within the bubble. I don't think this was an intended side effect, but it's exactly how it is.

Basically, you're saying the following:
You can't be pro without being pro.
If you consider pp system bad because people who are better than others get more pp than those because they rank higher, you didn't really understand the whole idea of it.iFlipTables wrote:
Or what he's trying to say is this "pros get high ranks which knock you out of top 500 which make you lose pp which makes this bubble you can't penetrate to get higher ranks because you keep losing them". Kinda confusing, lemme give an example. I was rank #403 ish on skillet - hero (insane) and in a week i'm now #609ish. I lose the rank because pros go and farm insanes and unless i can hidden double time that song, i'm just forced to lose the rank.

-_- You made no more sense than the other guy! XD The whole idea of a ranking system is that better players knock worse players out of the top positions. Of course your score will be beaten by other scores! It doesn't mean there's something wrong, it just means you've got more goals to attain.iFlipTables wrote:

He doesn't end of story. There's no way he matches up with the other pros. He's decent, and pretty much everyone out there agrees, but most people say he doesn't deserve his rank because he really doesn't compare to other pros who should have his rank (e.g. Rucker, or Niko- or other people), but that's just the flaw of ppUnkind wrote:
Also look at Sette, this guy plays DT + HD hards for a living, most people say he doesn't deserve his rank I say bullshit lol, go try and DT HD SS some of the shit he has done. He is amazingly good. Lots of DT + HD SS hards are WAY harder than SS insanes (and lets be honest, when I say insane i'm not talking about shit only 5 people in the game can even FC.)
isn't this kind of the purpose of pp? that the best get rewarded?Mithost wrote:
TheVileOne is trying to say that with this system, the top 500 are not going to change much because as more maps come out, the top 500's pp will go up higher and higher, and the only way to take a spot is to constantly maintain dozens and dozens of DT/HD/FL/HR maps against people who are much better than you. It's like climbing Mount Everest and the people who already made it to the top get to shoot paintballs at you, making it much more difficult for you to finish and join them.
The only way to fix this is to either put a cage over the top 500 overall players and give them their own map rankings, or make it easier to take PP from someone who has a lot of it.
Only because you're already rank 999. ;Psilmarilen wrote:

Pretty much this. If you check my profile, you will notice that I actually haven't been playing a lot of maps, I am only SSing them. Some are harder, some are easier, some give more pp, some give less pp. I am pretty sure I can go much further but I don't really have time to play at all anymore so...sCam wrote:
Just saying, if you guys want some pp, go SS that map

because they are horribly timed and just suck in general, some old normal/hards are actually harder to get 99+ on that most insanes from these days
So, no turning back now, pp WILL be the primary ranking criteria. Yet, it's going to be fun for now.peppy wrote:

Its K i've been losing 19 a day. Most from new maps. Some from who knows whereJordan wrote:
I'm losing 4pp a day since 3 days. EXACTLY 4pp a day. I don't understand why... It's not like I can stay every day playing osu! to get them back =_=
I had this as well until I stopped just going for the fc/SS. Once I reached a somewhat high rank on a map and kept it, I found myself not losing almost anything. Keep in mind that first day a map is ranked it's pp will be highly unstable. Sometimes for a regular SS you might gain like 30 pp (on my pp level) but then you will lose quite a bit after the next recalculation. This is normal though.BlazingFX wrote:

Owait only lost 17 today.

This change doesn't affect pp at all.lolcubes wrote:
How does changing the approved score into ranked score have anything to do with pp?
It doesn't. Both categories were giving pp. Please, stay on topic, if you want to discuss score of approvals going towards your ranked score, open a new thread about it.
This was planned like 2938384 years ago. Oh, and it was never intended to make a approval section in the first place afaik, but was made so there were no imba score difference when paraparamax got approved. Then Approved turned into the place to throw maps that didnt fit the ranking criteria.TheVileOne wrote:

Approval maps were NEVER intended to count towards official ranking.
Except for the length/score rule, which rules they don't follow?TheVileOne wrote:

You didn't prove anything. You are also very wrong. I think.TheVileOne wrote:
I have already proven my point here. In order to rated fairly towards ranked maps, they need to follow the same rules.

Many approval difficulties are so difficult that they rate higher than 5.00 stars. These maps give ridiculous amounts of pp. Much more pp than any ranked map. Also it's not fair that approval maps lack easier modes that are supposed to give newer players pp. So these songs are only there to give pp to players of a pro level and give nothing to anyone else.

PP is not based on score. Most of the approval maps give considerably less PP too, so you are wrong on that account as well. I have a number of 1-3x100 on some approval maps and they gave me maybe half of pp I gained from SSing a hard with hidden and DT. Please, if you are unsure about how pp works, check the wiki. Don't assume that harder = more pp, because while it should be like this, there is just not a good way to "describe" hard into numbers so it affects pp like it probably should, atleast not yet.TheVileOne wrote:

You are also checking star ratings which have NOTHING to do with pp, absolutely nothing.
