This sounds fun... it would add something new to regular gameplay for me. Make things a bit more spicy

I had the same idea. I do support this idea, but this will be kind of hard to make.
This is kind of confusing to me. Whatever confusing must be hard, right?peppy wrote:

Your solutions may sound simple to you, but aren't actually feasible due to over-simplication (suggestion 1) or incorrect approach (suggestion 2).
We can see when our friends are in the rank, so why can't we just make a filter for "yellow players" who are in the #400 ? I don't know if this is possible with those who are not :/
This is a wonderful idea! I actually wondering why something like this didn't exist when I first started playing a year ago. although I wasn't on the forums much, and didn't know you could make feature requests. I hope this gets added!
I support this, however if you learned how databases are made/how to make one it's going to be very difficult.

If a full-blown friends scoreboard is not feasible right now, maybe we could at least get a filter for the top 400 (so it would only show those yellow names + their song rank)? Most of my friends would show up, but it's a little tedious to scroll through all 10 pages just to check if my friends are on it. I don't think that would be too difficult, would it?
The scoreboard's gotten way better lately in any case. Top 400 + mods + accuracy + relative rank is awesome.

This is something I really miss in this game, some way to compare to friends...
If I had stars I would add them to this. I'd know which of my friends I had highscores and which I wanted to beat this way.

Good idea! This will raise the competitive spirit amongst friends & foes.
Coincidentally I proposed to have your own score displayed while spectating another player in this thread. The 2 ideas will work well for a stalker...err I mean friends, friends!

Sounds nice.
Now only if I had friends to be competitive with.

+4 stars.. This is all I really look for when scrolling through the scores.. We already have the (Has Friends) thing, so why not make it that we can have just our friends scores shown.
+3 Come on Guys, just add this feature
People are still giving stars to this? Here's the bad news for those who didn't read whole thread:

I might not understood the whole problem, but how about having a "Show friends scores" button for each beatmap in the client, which then downloads the full rankings for said map and parses the info in the clients own computer?peppy wrote:

It still requires downloading info from leaderboard beforehand, no?Kalle wrote:

Imagine million of users trying to fetch the leaderboard from the server...
This idea is interesting, which I support. But we need an efficient method so that it doesn't take too much server load.

But only if user pushes the button to check, it wouldn't happen automatically, which would drastically reduce the traffic. can't really think about better method mainly because my understanding about programming is very minor.Winshley wrote:

How about making it a feature on the website?
You have the check box for no mod plays only... Add one for friends only?
I'm no programmer, so I have no idea how this would work, but it sounds easier than doing it through the osu program.

Supporting! It's a cool idea!
This saves up so much time.
Wish I could support this but I have no votes
