Reposting question about monthly charts and current score system.
Well, I get the point about getting rainbow 300s for regular rankings and I'm ok with it, but what about monthly ranking charts? They always were based on score and a possibility to play easier diffs and get the same rankings as for harder ones is an issue IMO. Making monthly charts PP based (if it's planned solution for this) will also require playing every diff to get max PP for each song, which isn't really fun.

monthly charts being scored of pp would be kinda silly imo. also you don't need to play every diff to get max pp >_> just get #1 on the hardest map with 100% for that.

anyway

that might be a issue....i don't really see it as a massive issue though. but it would be kinda strange people get in the top 5 for the ranking charts just from playing the Easy difficulties >_<

Yeah, but they're probably coming:
t/95988

And the thing is that with pp, you do need to play every diff, or risk being nickle and dimed by someone who did, because you can score pp on multiple diffs in a set (which is good and bad). This can be potentially reduced by using a very aggressive weighting curve to limit the number of maps that a player can count. Or doing the total rank score thing, and using only the highest pp from each set (but only for charts) is another way... but I'm not fond of it.

My big concern with using pp for charts is that it's a statistical method, and for stats to work well, you need lots of data... and there doesn't seem to be very many real competitors on the charts (look at the #1 and the #40 scores on a chart, if things were competitive they should be a lot closer than they are).

But since osu!mania is implemented with normalized scoring, there's probably no better way for it. Especially with the max score fixed even with mods... because the bonus for using mods will essentially only be given in pp.

Lower key mods are now at 0.8x yet the changelog says 0.86. Is this temporary?

This shows a lack of understanding in how pp works.. It was made to scale and will work correctly when implemented for charts, too.

Don't worry about pp gains. woc's system will work quite smoothly. Full rainbowing a song is very difficult. The mods will make it easier to get max points or at the very least closer to max points than if you just went through the map and did the same performance without said mod. It's kind of counter intuitive to say it is making it easier by making it harder, but it's really a difficulty tradeoff. You must deal withmod impairments in return for better point returns.

And really that has nothing to do with applying score multipliers for keys. With the way woc is treating multipliers, adding equal multipliers to higher key mods seems less of an option. It doesn't make sense that a non-7K map changed to a 7K map would be worth more points overall than a 7K map. If the ceiling remains 1,000,000, then I don't think weighting the mod at a gain is even feasible.

I play normal difficulty maps this period, i hate playing 4K, i like to use 7K mod, but I'm not "pro" to play insane7K maps (the same situation for other players), why should be penalized for using more keys?, is more difficult, unfair and pointless the score reduction :o

Firstly, I don't agree with using nK mods to get higher scores, so all nK mods are <1 multipliers.

7K 0.98

8K 1.00




Is that possible?...

I would agree that if all higher keys had 1.0x with no benefits once so ever, I would support this. That would indicate that increasing the key count is due to personal preference and it is. Really these keys can't be worth more than existing xK maps and shouldn't be treated special compared to those maps.


woc2006, that is fair right?

I don't see why the decrease is there for lower keys. Just let people compete with the mode they're most comfortable with, why penalize them for playing the mode they enjoy.

Realistically, 4k IS easier than 7k.

Perhaps there are 4k players who disagree with that, but as a very experienced 4k player I feel like the score reduction is necessary.

It's A BIT too much to roll it down to 0.80x, however. 0.9x was fine. There are quite a few 7k players who are far more than capable of trashing my 4k scores, even if I did not have any score reduction on my 4k plays. With a reduction of 0.9x, if they're able to get very close to or past that 900,000 mark, I can guarantee that NO 4k player will be nomodding their way past your score. (Entozer FC'd freedom dive four dimensions on 7k, which I've been trying to do since way before mania was ranked)

I was happy with the 0.9x because that means I could've put on HR, and either DT or HD and gotten myself up to 1.00x! (Assuming the difficulty increase mods will work that way) That no longer seems like it'll be possible, though. It really does seem unfair to completely restrict a player's ability to achieve a good rank on a song because of how they may prefer to play.

I'd say, for keymods that decrease count, 0.90x. For keymods that either increase keycount, or decrease count but are one below the map's set keycount (7k down to 6k) 0.95x.

It's already practically impossible to get a high rank with 0.90x on anything easy to hard, and some insanes (that is, if the map has been played by more than ten people!). The only chance that, let's say, myself would have to get high ranks with 4k on any map, would be to play ridiculously hard files (Banned Forever, Freedom Dive FD) since I myself am capable of achieving 99% FC's on these maps - a feat that a lot of the newer 7k players cannot do. I've also been playing 4k for quite a long time.

I don't think people should expect to be beating high level 4k players on hard songs like Chipscape or Ascension to Heaven unless they really know what they're doing, and have been playing 7k for as long as those high level 4k players have been playing 4k. It seems absurd to restrict these skilled 4k players and pull them behind so many scores.

My two cents, and you'll probably all think I'm an idiot! :)

This seems to work, all KeyMods x1.00

But some maps greatly increase the difficulty, for example 5K map with 8K mod is very hard

The thing is that there's a rule in balancing games... if you give the player a lot of control over something, you need to assume that they'll use it to make their life easier. Even if it could be used to make things harder, it's known that increasing this can also make things easier (the fact that people talk about wanting to play at their "preference" level is proof of this... there's also the issue of parity, 6K will be easier than 5K to someone who hates odd parity). And so the safe course of action is to assume that even if someone does use the Kmods to increase the number of keys, that the map is now easier for them and should score a bit less than if they played it without being able to select their preference.
Bites
I have one question though, because these maps makes me really question how the system decides the keycount to use.

http://osu.ppy.sh/s/37065

Why is this map 6k? It's far harder than many of the maps I've played that default to 7k.

http://osu.ppy.sh/s/47710

Why is the 0108 difficulty 5k?

Is mystery.

That shouldn't be an issue, because you're claiming that because it's easier to play on 6 key instead of 5 key for some people, because they prefer to play it that way will create some sort of advantage and it wouldn't. 6K > Harder to max no matter how you look at it and in 99% of mania conversions the set key is easier than all higher key versions.

And the important thing to note is that there is NO benefit to increasing the key count other than personal preference. It would make a lot of players happy if they could play with the keycount they want on the maps they want (as long as its higher) without penalty. If someone who is good at 5K comes along, they can match a player playing with 6K, 7K etc, because they are all worth the same amount of points in the long run. It doesn't matter what key you choose if it's higher. The rankings shouldn't be divided by who's good at this key or that key, it should be who's good at this map or that map. There's no sense dividing the mania player base by key tolerance in the rankings.

Why punish the player because his favorite song doesn't translate into the key count he prefers?

Making a map that suits his key tolerance is not a good answer to this.

And I shall reiterate: lower keycounts than what is defined is still pretty well easier, so I support a small score decrease of 0.90x for lower keycounts and such.

Higher keycounts should perhaps not be penalized, though? :?

I agree with this,
I'd prefer lower keycounts to have a smaller score multiplier and for higher keycounts, they should remain 1.0, because it's the user's preference to use a higher keycount.

The thing is that it isn't harder no matter how you look at it... in some ways it's easier. Like with AR, increasing things makes things harder, except in the ways that it makes them easier. Also note that what I said means that decreasing from 6K to 5K can make things more awkward and harder for some people. If you think that lower K is easier, and a map is rated lower K than you normally play... just play it at that K. Play the game. It's that simple. If you're not playing the game, just accept that you have to pay a little to get things your way and live with it.

And the important thing to note is that there is NO benefit to increasing the key count other than personal preference.
If it's to be nothing more than a preference, and not part of the game, then things are easy. All K levels should be worth 1.0x... up, down, doesn't matter. Let the pp algorithm decide if your nK play was worth significantly more or less on a mK rated map.

this doesn't sound like too bad of an idea, actually.. no score reduction, but perhaps playing with the amount of keys the map told you to play with gives more PP? idk >.<

Or you prefer to have 5 Separated Rank Boards for each native key mode?

Think of it, you'll not going to help mappers with this, because of the one's that know at least a lil of beatgames knows that a more keys mode needs to be separated of minus ones coz the Difficulty Gap between them is Really High...

Also take in count that if a mapper make a full beatmap of each keymode it'll be in queue a lot because of max beatmap submission for each user, there's a LOT of problems BIGGER than making a Code change and adding separated MySql or the DB's that you use for Osu! ranks...

0.75x - n*0.05x (where n is the number of keys decreased) if you decrease the number of keys, 0.8x if you increase it.
For example, on a 7K song:
4K - 0.6x
5K - 0.65x
6K - 0.7x
7K - 1x
8K - 0.8x
That's my opinion on that matter.

That is still absolutely unfair in a lot of situations with harder songs.

Go play the collab difficulty on "Nyanyanyanyanya" on any keycount. It's hard.

For a 4k player who does incredibly well on that song, they shouldn't have their score chopped down by that far! A 7k player who barely hits the 6m mark on points (about 60% accuracy) will have a score quite literally impossible for a 4k player to reach, even if they were to 100% the song with all rainbow 300s.

He will also have a score impossible to reach for a half-time player. So what? Should we also bump HT's score modifier? I don't think so.
Also, I fail to understand something. What's a "4k player"? A player who refuses to play using more keys, and therefore limiting himself? That's like a "normal player" who refuses to play any difficulties besides normal. Of course, he has the right to do so, but he shouldn't expect to compete with players who don't limit themselves.

I'll assume you are talking about osu!mania specific maps (maps made for osu!mania), in which case there would be separate difficulties (and rankings) for each difficulty/key combination.

For osu! standard conversions, a key mode is chosen by osu! per difficulty, which becomes the default. Other key modes can be chosen but receive a multiplier. You can still compete with others using your key mode, but you may not get #1 for the map. This is expected and correct behaviour in my mind.

osu!mania is not here to provide rankings per source game (4K / ddr, 5+1K 7+1K / beamni iidx, 6K 8K o2jam etc.). It is a new environment with new standards and new conditions on how to get the best score. Deal with it, or play osu!mania specific maps only, where you can be sure they are made for your accustomed environment.

The final multipliers aren't locked in, so this is subject to change. Assuming playing with more than listed keys doesn't ever decrease difficulty (please cite cases if you found any where this is not true), then the negative multiplier could in fact be removed in the case of higher key counts.

A 4k player is simply someone who may mainly play 4k maps. I'm a 4k player and I do play 6k and 7k, but as I have played DDR and Stepmania for several years I am most comfortable with 4k.

Ahmi wrote:

That is a gross comparison.

While 7k is indeed harder than 4k, 4k is still difficult in a lot of cases such as the map I specified. 4K plays were at a score mod of 0.90x before, which I feel was perfectly fair.

Besides, HT's score mod WAS bumped from 0.30x to 0.50x.

Ahmi wrote:

I reiterate, 4k play is hardly limiting yourself when the gameplay is still quite difficult. You likely aren't going to see just player 100%ing insanes like Remilia-Scarlet, Entozer or, to a lesser degree, myself - unless they are very experienced players. This will hold true regardless of keycount, which is why it is difficult to decide on a proper and fair scoremod for each keycount.

Perhaps keep the score reduction at 0.80x for easy - hard maps, and returning it to 0.90x for insanes? This would prevent effortless 4k top scores on easier stuff, but let all keycounts shine on maps which will require much skill regardless - to even out the playfield a little more.

Again, just some thoughts. You probably think I'm an idiot :(

In terms of conversion everything on 4k is way easier then 7k. And it's very obvious.
But when custom maps start coming out the story has possibilities of changing. But what is standard on o2jam is a pretty high tier on stepmania.
But we'll have to see how the ranking criteria rolls out. (I can assure you all your crazy overcharted simfiles/o2jam files won't be close to rankable. osu!mania will have it's own way of establishing difficulty.)

So for the time being I think the multipliers are good and I agree with peppy's idea of "A new environment".
This is osu!mania not Stepmania/o2jam/IIDX, get used to it.

But I'm moved (though not
yet fully) in o!m from DJMAX
and I do not do everything
exactly how many keys to
play: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8... Yes, even
the like a Space Mix 8 + 8! The most
important thing to make it all
good mapped. From my
own experience I say that is
not always more keys = more
difficult. Just try it for yourself
to play DMTR. (DJMAX:
Trilogy)

Assuming playing with more than listed keys doesn't ever decrease difficulty (please cite cases if you found any where this is not true), then the negative multiplier could in fact be removed in the case of higher key counts.
I find 6K easier than 5K (when using symmetrical controls), but that might be because I'm not used to having space as the middle button yet.

You're an idiot.

You're also an idiot.

A 4k player plays 4k because he/she enjoys that style of play, not to limit themselves. For me right now, due to controls (I'm used to TR) 5/7k is incredibly difficult and 8k is just retarded. (Support this thread)

osu!mania is not here to provide rankings per source game (4K / ddr, 5+1K 7+1K / beamni iidx, 6K 8K o2jam etc.). It is a new environment with new standards and new conditions on how to get the best score. Deal with it, or play osu!mania specific maps only, where you can be sure they are made for your accustomed environment.
So will mania specific maps with only mania difficulties be accepted for ranking?


OT: While I don't agree the score should be reduced at all, .85 for all key mods that aren't default and 1 for default seems fair to me. While higher key mods might be harder due to more keys, they are also more spread out and easier to read as opposed to lower key mods. Since specific maps are locked to the key level the mapper wants I don't see why it should be any lower than .85 for maps where the key amount was set automatically by osu!.

I'm sorry, but that has to be one of the most arrogant and elitist things I've seen in this forum board (and I already view this community as an elitist one to some extent unfortunately and it still bugs me a bit) Anyways, if anything, we're in desperate need of the opinions of newbies, everyone starts out as one and if we make things discouraging for them, then it is much harder for osu to grow both as a game and as a community. It's refreshing to hear the opinions of lesser skilled players in the forums, a lot of lesser skilled players are too intimidated by the "godlike" players that participate actively in the forums and thus are too scared to share their thoughts; anything we can do to relieve this anxiety more would be beneficial towards the osu game and community.

I think osu!mania should be unranked

Or maybe it should just rather be removed

Actually I don't even care the slightest about osu!mania as I have beatmania IIDX and DJMAX Trilogy, so don't mind me

So, if someone plays only normal difficulties, because he enjoys that style of play, he should be able to compete with people who play insane difficulties, because playing insane maps is for him incredibly difficult?
You just need to get used to new controls if you want to play seriously. And if you don't, then why do you care about score?
For example, in Taiko, you usually start playing it with just one hand, and the transition to two hands is very difficult. But should such a player be able to compete with those, who learned to play properly? I don't think so. You just need to learn new controls. It might take some time, but definitely less than starting from a scratch, and that way you'll be playing against other people on equal terms.
It should be expected of a mod which makes the game easier to give less points. It doesn't matter if you use it because you enjoy that. There are people who enjoy playing on relax, but do you really think they also should be able to compete with regular players? And if not, what makes it so different? Both mods make the game easier.

I think the main argument here is that less keys =/= easier in every case, thus if a map is a kmap by default a (=/=k)map could either be easier or harder and whether it's easier or harder isn't something objective, it differs from person to person. For example, try imagining playing Chipscape on 1K, doesn't sound so easy now does it? I'm just stating some observations though, I'm still on the fence on how I'd like to see this problem be solved...

It's almost always easier to play with less keys if we only consider the available options. There's no 1K mod, so that's pretty silly argument.
The closest thing to decreasing keys in osu! standard would be the easy mod. It sometimes makes everything messy, but that's not a reason to get rid of score modifier.
A 7K difficulty converted to 4K is almost always (if not always) going to be easier, and that's why it needs a modifier. And in these rare cases where it could get harder, it would be most likely because of everything getting messy and unreadable.

Its unfair for the players if the scoring multiplier for 4K is greater than 8K.... Basically... Its more effort to play 8K because it uses 8 of your fingers compared to 4K....
It is insane... but I more prefer this:
