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.

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

Only the age of the score you make has influence. Age of the map has nothing to do with anything

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.

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

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 =_=

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).
So, no turning back now, pp WILL be the primary ranking criteria. Yet, it's going to be fun for now.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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)

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.

Why shouldn't it be? Approved maps aren't super gimmicky or anything. Just maps with high score/combo/song length.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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"

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

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.
