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.

the point is that you can farm it.. using mods.. that's what i'm trying to say.. good players just throw double time on S it and beat everyone, that's the "bubble" he's referring to. I'm trying to explain what he's saying, i'm not agreeing with him.

Played those 2 maps and my pp went skyrocketed. @_@;; One of them is apparently above my "He's a Pirate" pp.
Icyteru
Farming is obviously possible, because farming = playing an extremely long amount.

and by playing an extremely long amount, you improve.

You are improving, thus making your pp go higher.

which means by farming, your pp goes higher.

but isn't that the point of pp? to go higher as you improve?

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.)
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 pp

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.

isn't this kind of the purpose of pp? that the best get rewarded?

This simply cannot be true... I personally used to be close to rank 5000 not long ago. I was stuck there, and I needed to improve some skills before I could get any further. I practiced hard, and finally I felt myself playing better again. Within a couple weeks I was just above 2000. That's not a bubble... I don't have a lot of maps in my Osu! list. I only have something like 600 S scores. I've simply gotten good rankings in a lot of the maps that I have. I never felt like I needed to high rank more maps to get PP. I've always gotten a ton of PP for every individual high rank on just the few maps I have. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if ranking more maps somehow degrades your PP gain. My point is that if I can grow 3000 ranks in about a couple weeks, then anyone can do it. If you're stuck somewhere, then it's not the pros faults for shooting you down. You're just not getting any better.

Also, I have to comment on Sette. I had never really seen this guy play, so I wanted to see how average he really was, because everyone said his rank wasn't indicative of his skill. I went and spectated him for an hour, and I can tell you that I saw him do some amazing things... I don't know every map by name, but I saw him DT HD some really crazy hard insane maps. I personally couldn't touch how well he was playing these maps. I saw him DT HD SS this map that I could barely follow. So I don't know if that was his awesome insane map day, or something, but I don't think I saw him play one hard in that entire time.

i cant gain 3k ranks
HakuNoKaemi
The things that as a map get older it give less pp is a.....
ok, if a map get older it doesn't mean it get easier. Instead it may get harder get higher ranks (even if it's harder to lose them).
Plus, i don't see how a many years old map can give many points while harder(much) months old maps give no pp.

Said this, pp shouldn't depend on map age and depend less or play counts of a map and depend much more on how the play went.
SS Bonus is too high, 2 mods FC with decent Acc( 90%+) is still way harder than Perfect without mods on most maps. And 1-mod Almost Perfect (98%+) is too harder than a Perfect without mods, this time in all maps.
silmarilen
if a map gets older has 0 direct influence on how much pp you gain and i still dont get why people keep thinking that
HakuNoKaemi
Someone said that it had influence.
I still don't get the other things.

So I decided to play some new maps today;

Got like 6 pp for most of the Insanes i passes with FC or 1 less than fc(dosen't matter they were under 500 rank)
Then I did this on a Hard, and got like 25 pp xD

SPOILER
Nah, I'm just messing with yah, I know there's a bonus for SS, and FC.

Just saying, if you guys want some pp, go SS that map :P

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...

Also, if you are always in doubt of will the map give you pp or not, you can always check a random top100 guy and see his best pp gains in top ranks. Try playing those maps (usually SS or hidden SS, most of the time hidden SS will yield you top40 as well, if not more) and you will see your pp skyrocket.

I'm not pointing to the age of the maps, neither score.
I'm pointing to the fact the making new scores on some maps give no pp. where some even MUCH easier maps give many pp...
See how hard give more pp than Insanes many times?
there's surely something to fix.
Liut
most of old songs with low combo gives lots of pp cause the most of the people that passed those maps did it with sucky accuracy
silmarilen
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

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 =_=
silmarilen
i have only been gaining pp over the past couple of days.
knowing which maps to play to get pp really helps.
Timekiller
Fun how nobody seems to notice it yet, but rankings by score are completely hacked up starting today.

[fix]Change approved maps to add to ranked score (no special treatment given to approved anymore).

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.
Hanyuu
pp system is working good but it still a big joke and many inbalance in measurement of skill of player
Hanyuu
you go talk about approval and ranked somewhere else

i mean the judgement of this system? my best record was a hard beatmap i played with double time...
i got top 20 ranks in marathons ...
i FC insane diffs with flashlight over 600 combos too i think and i SSed a val0108 map without mods

and the flashlight playes did not even register in the best plays list, i wonder if they even count

its maybe good but it seems so fake and generated, its not a good result
Hanyuu
besides people even talking about farming PP

wow better performance

more points

it only needs a little adjustement to filter out to good from the better
TheVileOne
So something peppy is doing because of a decision based on performance points is not something related to performance points. I don't understand that at all. I mean this decision is like trying to put out a fire by pouring gas on it. It's just a horrible idea!
Hanyuu
you can not judge this because your not a good enough player but in high level play and even very known players they will receive a worst rating because of how things are.
lolcubes
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.
Hanyuu
it doesnt matter at all if approved or ranked lolcubes

i just say this system need alot more fine tuning

YOU CAN NEVER have a hard player OUTCLASS insane player and never even harder outclass worse and even harder and eveeen harder and ... theres allways a step above and putting mods on a map and abusing seems common to gain ranks

I know, but some people were getting the wrong idea. I had to clean this thread up a little bit. :v

pp works perfectly as it does exactly what peppy intended it to do. just because we think it is supposed to show our skill based on map difficulty does not mean that was peppy's intent

/thread
TheVileOne
WTF does this have to do with anything. I'm a mapper/modder. We have a balanced system and it needs to be fair. This decision is reckless on peppy's part and the rules don't have any guidelines for changing approval maps for them to be balanced under this new system. There was no discussion about it. peppy just decided to do it, screw the consequences.

Approval maps were NEVER intended to count towards official ranking.

well im a player

and im just thinking about it.. beside i dont really care about pp im just playing my way im just saying it is not so perfect as it should be

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.


WELL ANYHOW, this isn't related to pp, yeah.

On-topic: pp is about performance. If you're looking for skill, you wont find it in some numbers, just go spec people and determine yourself.
HD+DT'ing a bunch of [Hard]'s could be concidered a great performance anyway, so saying "lolnoob" is kind of harsh. Still, pp works well, other than some weird mapweightings. (repeating stuff already said in thread like a baws)
TheVileOne
Okay stop being ignorant. My whole point for these things is that pp should not be applied for approval maps. Is this not related to pp?

Stop acting like I don't know what I'm talking about.
lolcubes
Why shouldn't it be? Approved maps aren't super gimmicky or anything. Just maps with high score/combo/song length.
Hanyuu
BUT your writing like that omg. what does approval have to do with any TV size that is even as hard or harder. ok its longer

you dont even play

AND THERE ARE SOME MARATHONS THAT ARE HARD DIFFS ACTUALLY BUT THEY APPROVED BECAUSE OF LENGHT
TheVileOne
I feel like I'm repeating myself.

Approval maps should not count towards pp because they do not follow the rules of ranked maps.

I can't say it any simpler than that.
silmarilen
they do follow the rules of ranked maps, the only thing thats different is the max score and difficulty spread
CXu
90% of approval maps follows the rules of ranked maps save length or difficulty. Neither of these points makes an approval map less qualified to be rated for pp.
Hanyuu
omg
he dont even know what approval maps are

TheVileOne wrote:

Except for the length/score rule, which rules they don't follow?
If you are saying this just because rule A needs changing, then you aren't bringing anything constructive, only destructive. Rather go poke the rules in this case, which I am sure they will get poked because of this change.
TheVileOne
They can have a single difficulty, and do not follow the full mapset rule.


Edit: These are three rules they don't follow. I have already proven my point here. In order to rated fairly towards ranked maps, they need to follow the same rules.
lolcubes
How does this affect pp?
pp is based per difficulty, not highest difficulty/highest score in the mapset. This is the difference between ranked score and pp as well.

TheVileOne wrote:

You didn't prove anything. You are also very wrong. I think.
If you think you're right, that's ok too. Just don't demand anything without completely understanding everything, ok?

Balance!

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.

Fun fact: this gives a ridiculous amount of pp.
And by your logic it's not fair that [Insane] should give more pp than [Easy] because newer players can't get the pp from the [Insane]

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

pp stands for performance points. Performance =/= skills.
There still seems to be a misunderstanding about this: pp is not there to measure how skilled you are in osu!
Unless my English comprehension skills sucks and Performance can in some way be read as "skill"
lolcubes
Pretty much what CXu said here. Is still a bit off and we all know it too, just give it time I guess.
Hanyuu
but it shows the players with more PP over the rest

and if i remember right this was the so long awaited system to show who is really good because before it was "rank whoring" and "map farming" for score.

now i hear it does not mean how good a player is

what the hell really
TheVileOne
Oh really they aren't imbalanced. So that's why half of cookiezi's top performances are approval difficulties. Hmm out of all of his scores, half of the top of the top are approvals. (The top 3 are approvals) Explain this to me.
