In general I feel that DT gives qute a lot more than it should and HR on really small circles isn't as rewarding

And also FL?
FL is not favoured at all?
http://osu.ppy.sh/s/18156 - this must be one of my top plays, yet it's nowhere close
(my assumption is results are ordered almost in the same way as in tp)

FL gives a huge bonus on maps which are hard to aim. I am tallking about a 36% increase. However if the movement of the map you played is not that complicated, then even FL won't be able to pull it up by much. I've already been considering to increase FL's bonus even further in the past, since it makes aiming so much harder.

As for the HR rank vs your DT rank. I believe they are both very good and will keep tweaking the difficulty algorithm. It's hard to calll one of them both better than the other with good reasoning.

I agree to everything you've said. Also, I believe the actual rank of a score should be considered as well. This would indirectly increase the value of mods like FL and getting good accuracy on maps with complicated patterns.

This has been considered, but there are just too many cases where the scoring system fails in my opinion. Even having a small contribution could be fatal for some scores. As I said earlier, I am already thinking about way to increase the vallue of FlashLight without making it "overpowered" on harder maps. Pattern difficulty is not yet implemented but definitely planned.

I would appreciate it, if we can have access to the list where our songs who counts in the pp system are listed So we can better our accuracy or our score on that maps

They are far from the best. How can various top 15 scores be neglected and make room for a rank 1000 A rank? :s

It is being considered. Can't say more yet, though.

I'm really satisfied with the new system. I felt as a pp farmer in the previous one but now its just about perfectly placed me and almost every others (imo) on our small country ranking. Good job!

Liiraye, I don't think this system takes your rank on the song into consideration. It may take relativity in consideration (like older versions of ppv2) but just because you set a highscore/ top 15 on a song does not mean it's considered your most skillful play. And if you don't consider them some of your best plays, it IS a new system. Don't expect perfection yet. It looks great as it is so far but I expect a lot of tweaking for the next few months

I've spent more than a few hundred tries (not all at once of course) to FC that HR map, but managed to do DT in around 15
I really believe it's because of very small circles which makes you miss a lot more often (it's CS6 with HR)

Ah, btw I forgot mentioning TAG maps
It's probably hard to take them into a count, but I'd like to see this tweaked too

I just played a beatmap from 'best performance' tab and while passing it on hd and getting rank #5600~ (was #6400~ before no mods) I lost 1 pp. Is it normal?

Just a question: will the new PP difficulty algorithm be replacing the current in-game star difficulty rating in the future?

What i mean is:
- A number before the map's title in the "Best Performance" section that shows how much pp you got from a play;
- An expansion to the "Best Performance" section (10 plays isn't that much);
- A way to see the "difficulty line" regarding to one or the other mod (i.e. to see how "hard" the song is if i play it with DT);
- A way to see how much pp you got from a particular play in game;
- A way to "sort" records by pp (like you can do it now - by country or by particular mod);

Basically most of the things the osu!tp has now.

Sorry for my english in advance.

I haven't browsed the thread, so most of this has probably already been said, but here's my thoughts.

I like this system a lot more than the old system. I dropped from around rank 57k to 94k, so I'm not a very skilled player like most people here. But my 57k rank was very flawed. Almost all of my pp under the old system came from a single old map that hardly anyone was able to full combo (not because of difficulty, but from the poor quality of the map). It was also nearly impossible for me to ever gain any ranks since I couldn't get high enough ranks on songs unless I played maps that were not very commonly played.

This seems to be remedied now, as several of my top performances were not on the list before because they were as low as rank #5000 on the song or lower. I feel some of these were truly my "best performances", even though they are on more popular maps, and it is really nice to see them factoring into the calculations now.

I don't care about a specific number for my ranking, but seeing as it's potentially easier for someone of my skill to go up in rankings, this should give me more motivation to get better since I can see actual progress now. Keep up the good work!

It's great.

Osu! TP map level underneath the beatmap name + AR/OD/HP stats.

Just like this just underneath the beatmap ingame ^
Example :
Tom94BESTDJEU - PEPPY NEW PP RANKING(=BEST!) [Tom94 remix]
OD: 10 HP : 8 AR : 10 CS : XXX Aim : XXX Speed : xxx
BPM : xxx circles : xxx sliders : xxx spinners : xxx

If they were to implement that I would imagine it would come with the redesign of he profile pages peppy said he was working on.

Really liking the new pp!

I think though, beatmaps with really high bpm (the 280 blob and scarlet rose and such) are being undervalued in terms of "beatmap difficulty"

Just what I feel, especially like how the top ranks reflect your "personal achievements" a bit more instead of showing just all your boring mod-SS (at least at my level)

Keep it up!

ItHR still have a over value?

Lets have Thelewa for example: He is really good Hr Hd but he don't have so much speed and DT accuracy as SnowWhite, Dungeon or DragonHuman.

I Respect Thelewa. But still think he don't deserve 3#

This new system seems really good and pretty accurate. The only one weird thing that I've found is that I had a top rank on a map, which I didn't even full combo so I replayed it and full combo'ed it with HD on and improved the score greatly but then the map actually disappeared from my top rank suggesting my new score was actually worse than before.

EDIT: Seems like there is just a delay now for the system to display the top ranks. After a while, the song came back onto a higher place on my top ranks which was expected.

So far I love the new PP system.
Would need to wait a little to see if there's anything wrong with it, any flaws...
We'll have a better idea of what needs to be changed or not in a few month I guess.

Even if I went from 10.8K to #30.3K, I knew I didn't deserve that high rank.
Pretty accurate (at least what is showing in my top ranks). Some Insane I struggled a bit to FC are there, so I'm quite happy with the actual outcome, though there is a score with crappy accuracy (85.89%) and far far away from being a FC as my best performace, so I think it'd still take some time to fully update?

Only if you beat your old score

but if u get less accuracy than before ur rank goes up

What osu!tp has been doing is not working that easily here, since the processor has to deal with far more than 100times as many scores. A per-score pp display is being considered, ingame and in the web. I'll probably propose an ingame difficulty display, incorporating mods, at some point as well when I have time.

TAG4 maps will be fixed as soon as per-hitobject data is available. Before that there is not much I can do due to the extreme difficulty spikes.

Also let me repeat what I said in the other thread for everyone:

Just a quick note for everyone who experiences a big drop in ranks. In the previous pp system players who were inactive were not counted. This is not added to the new system yet, so please wait a little while. Your rank drop might not be that bad - potentially it even rose?

That's exactly what I meant. The new difficulty algorithm rating is already visible on the beatmap pages EDIT: no longer visible . I wanna see them in game.

Finally, a skill-based ranking that doesn't revolve around [Hard] farmers.

This is beautiful. No complaints.

It depends a lot really. Some maps that are practically impossible to aim propely that only a handful of players can hdhr deserves pp as well. Don't you agree?

Speed isn't everything you know!

I think this is a lot more fair than old pp system. One thing I wanted to say is that some scores are overestimated: my score on this map: http://osu.ppy.sh/b/338594&m=0 is 300 combo (with over 800 full combo) and 84,44% acc. Because it's fresh map I have #84, and probably for that reason it landed in my Top Ranks. I wouldn't consider this a good score, so I wonder why it's so high performance.
Also, because of that single score, my overall acc fell from 95,51% to 95,15%, which isn't cool :/

.

What about calculating accuracy with unstable rate? Or is it that hard to calculate on every map played?.

Salvage wrote:

I don't think it is possible since I don't think there is enough information stored to retrieve that value exactly.

It can be estimated though, as long as you ignore sliders (since sliders can potentially increase UR without reducing accuracy, since they don't need to be hit accurately).

DT is better for pp, as FL. If i haв highscore with DT, but i've broken my old DT-record with FL, my old reord must be deleted from base and i lose pp, isn't it?
For exampe, WoobWoofWolf has his the best record for "Saiya - Remote Control" beatmap now. He has 5 misses, but he used DT+HD mode. But SnowWhite played this map without DT, with HD+HR, have FC, but doesn't have this map for Best Perfomance. If WoobWoofWolf plays now map without mods and break his own records, he loses old records and loses pp.
So, best score for beatmap is not best pp. It is better to use DT and don't play other mods without DT. Is it wrong?
update: I see answer in next post now, thank you.

The score rank you get on a map does not matter at all for the new pp. Only your performance together with the beatmap difficulty counts. Maybe the map was really hard? I've seen a C in jesus1412's best performance list and it was a crazy hard DT score, about as hard as FCing mendes with DoubleTime. I'll take a look what's happening with your scores, though.

thelewa only makes us believe he'd be slow. He 99.5%ed Chipscape! That's not slow. His top scores might not be the fastest, but they are an amazing combination of speed, aim and acc. That being said it doesn't mean, that you are wrong. I am just mentioning it.

Will my pp benefit in any shape or form if I keep improving my previous scores? Also, does it have to be a drastic improvement? I'm really sorry if these are dumb questions, I'm just a bit overwhelmed by this new system :/

Score improvements won't always benefit your pp. On a map which is really hard to DT beating your DT score with HR might actually reduce your pp. This is currently a limitation I wish there wouldn't be, but it exists.

Salvage wrote:

Something similar to unstable rate is used. OD does play a huge role. We are already considering, to update the accuracy displayed in the player profiles to a more sensible measure, while maybe keeping the old value in parantheses.

You are correct. I wish this limitation wouldn't exist, but there is no possibility of changing it for the moment.

Sliders and spinners already are ignored for the part of the calculation that is responsible for accuracy. But yeah, in the end it only is an approximation of unstable rate due to per-hitobject data not being available.

I went from rank 15k to rank 9k. That's...something. I guess it's because I tried really hard to do well on harder songs and didn't farm normal/hards very much at all?

The old ppv1 system had the same issue. A solution would be storing "best performances" separately from "best scores", but the problem is that would be expensive in term of server resources; and if the system has time degradation of scores, it wouldn't solve the problem in all cases (depending in how the degradation is implemented)

Not sure if this belongs here but I'll ask anyway.

Are there plans on fixing the star star sytem by replacing it with the beatmap difficulty level?

I'm not sure if I'm understand the "all scores are used" thing, but tell me if I'm right with this example:

Score 1: 10,000,000 score, played on normal, FC 100%.
Score 2: 3,000,000 score, played on DT/HD, had 1 miss. 99%.

My best score would show up as Score 1, but my best "performance" would probably be from Score 2, so the PP I get from Score 2 would count for my PP ranking?

That sure sounds like a nice idea, considering all the maps already have a difficulty rating calculated by the system.

All scores being used means that it doesn't have the limitation that tp had where it could only access top 50 score data. PPv2 has access to ranks beyond top 50 which is why they say all scores are used.

If both scores are on the same map, then the higher score value gets used, even if the other would give more pp. As I mentioned earlier we can not work around this at the moment.
If those 2 scores are on different maps, then how much pp you will get highly depends on how hard the maps are.

Damn where's the beatmaps that i have farm. 9k ---> 27k , guess that's because me too mach farm back then :'(

Is it just me or mods aren't affecting too much in the new pp ranking?

well, i think the current system is the closest to perfect ~ time to farm

.

UE95 wrote:

Hey there thank you so much for replying. One last question, you did mention Dt and HR in your example. How well would Hidden fare against those two and against scores without mods?

I can't give definite answers for any mod. All I can say is that it depends a lot on the map. The new system does not just multiply the value of map when adding mods, it calculates a whole new difficulty with the mods. For example, if you're playing a map with DoubleTime, then the algorithm will calculate a new difficulty value of the map, considering it to be 1.5x as fast. With HardRock it considers the circles smaller and the OD higher. Hidden gives a bonus to the aiming-aspect of the map, so it has a greater effect on maps which are harder to aim.
The same logic applies to all other mods.

I'm not sure if it was written anywhere in here, but I would like to be able to see more than just 10 of my top performances. If a player by themselves could see all, or more than just their top 10 scores (Maybe top 100?) it would be very useful.

I feel a bit skeptical about encompassing ALL passed ( I am assuming passed ) play-through scores tallying into your rank at the moment. I haven't gotten a chance to hop into multiplayer yet and get a feel for how other players compare to me but personally, I've lived in multiplayer for the past 2 odd years. I've made it a personal rule never to auto-fail in an MP match because I missed a note or made a silly mistake which means I have thousands of play-throughs with horribad scores becuase mr/mrs host decided to tack on DT or I was feeling dangerous and decided to live in the HD HR side of life. Or I was just with a bunch of friends and we were dicking around playing '08-'09 maps, HR super small circle size maps, troll an insane diff AR5 map, etc...

I have not toiled a lot of effort compiling this post, it is simply a couple ideas that came to mind while playing and gestating around the post about this new system being implemented. I have no intention of trying to get into the nitty-gritty about "X" mod gives less value then "Y" mod, my ACC dropped because of those 50 D ranks I have from 4 years ago, trying to meta-game the system to know why exactly "Z" map gives more points then "W" map. I really could care less about whatever new system comes out next and how it ultimately effects my golden number. I say give the option to choose what you want in osu! options to display the new pp/tp system or your original total ranked score rank.

The concern I'm trying to get at is for those who really only play multiplayer now and its effects compared to those who really only play singleplayer and have the ability to always ESC->Retry to their heart's content. I do not find the excuse of 'then auto fail the map if you don't want your score tallied' since it undermines the purpose of multiplayer to those who may have thought that while reading this.

Should there be a completely different point system for MP playing? (this subject is irrelevant to everything else in this post, but came to mind while typing it all. Kinda came outta left field.)

From your lovely flying fish who lives in MP, day in and day out, FishHook. I hope something in this post of rambling helps you in your advancement of the new ranking system. Cheers.

The bad scores you got while playing MP shouldn't affect your ranking much.
As for your accuracy, you can increase it by getting good accuracy in hard maps.

Would it be possible for osutp.net to obtain scores out of the top 50 range since it has been implemented into official osu rankings? it would be great if we can get an exact value on each of our best plays!

Still don't think it's perfect. My top performances are a joke, I did them in many less tries than some of my top performances in the old system. I think you've done a good job to reduce the effect of farmed hard difficulty maps in some way but in other ways you have ruined a lot of people's hard performances.

Everyone who used to rank up by tricking the system are getting wrecked quite hard now huehue
 
 
More seriously; I always felt like short fast streams were a bit underrated in tp, feels pretty much the same here.
A short 250bpm stream (~11 circles) will be worth less than a long 210bpm stream (17+ circles), but the first one is way harder imo.
 
 
 
Other than that, because it's also close from tp it's a really nice ranking system. Good job there :p

Well I went from 5.8k to 11k. I did trick the system quite a bit to get to 5k, but not too much. The proof being I've already climbed 4k ranks since I've logged in.

My main issue though is that sometimes I will pass a song, it will end up in my best performances, but I won't get any pp for it. A little strange. Also, osusig doesn't update properly. I've had to change the signature layout twice already just to update it, but that's fairly miniscule.

I noticed the new ranking system favors mods even though some no mod maps are a lot more difficult and reward less.

I really like the system as it is right now. Counting all ranks in the system instead of top 1000/800 or 500 makes it a lot more motivating to try and beat your older scores. Went up from 3.5k (ppv1) to 1.8k.

muh speedy fingers

Syclasm wrote:

Right :3 the purge made me climb 2300 ranks, so I still went from 9.3k to 7.5k, still decent imo.

I like this change actually. It feels much more skill based now rather than just knowing what maps to farm up. The way it was before, if you were in the top 300 or so, then you could make it up to the top 10 if you played enough. You would have enough skill to do so because all the maps that would give the most PP are right around that level to easily farm.

My only problem is rank updates. I played 2 songs. 1 of them made it onto the very top of my best performances, I went up 30 ranks. The 2nd one made it to the 2nd highest, I went up 800 ranks (Now sitting at 6761). I'm sure the ranks aren't clustered that hard in pp to where there's a 100 pp gap somewhere at rank 7k.

EDIT: If it's still in the process of cleaning inactive users, I should note I also went up ~100 pp by playing the 2 songs, so I think the 800 ranks was from the pp, not the cleaning.

Can't we just use pp rank instead of score rank for every song like the tp website? or keep both so best pp rank and best score rank are independent.

If ppv2 is using the same difficulty calculations on maps as tp, why is it that my highest and 3rd highest tp maps don't make my best performance even though everything below did?

i guess its good. i went from 8.1k to 8.6k and my acc went up by 1% for some reason. no flaws that i can see

shh at least you're higher than me

my second highest ppv2 score gave me gave me 0tp.

It's actually quite nice that easier ranks don't get counted as heavily. Sometimes when I'm tired of playing hard maps over and over I take a "break" where I try getting a top 50 on easier maps. It's a good way to relax a bit if your hands hurt or if you're tired but if you still want to play, but in the old system that'd make your rank go up increasingly. Now I can do the same thing without having to worry about having a "farmed" rank.


I agree with some of the previous posts that it might be nice to see the amount of pp a certain map has earned you, though I understand if that might be annoying to implement.

I have a question about something I've seen in the rankings - next to some ranks, I've seen something like ^3d. Does this refer to the amount of time passed since that score was set? And why does it only show for some rankings, even though I set some other ranks that didn't have that sign beside them?

We both know I'm worse though

Good to see that peppy finally decided to let you manage this stuff.

. Counting all ranks in the system instead of top 1000/800 or 500 makes it a lot more motivating to try and beat your older scores.

Considering that some of my top performances are scores i got with less than 3x100 and 1 miss, it has totally made me lose all motivation to replay those maps for fear of losing pp lol.

Hi Tom, your TP and ppv2 systems are really good, but I have some complaints about ppv2.
My userpage: http://osu.ppy.sh/u/1783793
As you can see, it's my best performance:

I don't think these two achievements:
Demetori - Emotional Skyscraper ~ World's End [Lunatic] (97.76% HD)
Dark PHOENiX - Taketori Hishou [Extra] (98.25% HD)
should be posted in it. I mean, I have some 140+ bpm DT HD scores, and they are better than these two above, I think.
I wonder why these two scores can get much pp for me, you know, the acc is not so high and the beatmap is not so diffucult.

Thanks for your hard working

The new System is great how I said last week

I got a ultraboost ... from 24k to 18k after 1 1/2H Playing to 14k

24k PP(v1) -> 18k PP(v2) -> 14k lawl

Gain PP is now harder with the Difficult Easy-Hard and Insane+ became important.
The new System is more Skill-based how I like it

Huge improvements, nice job by all participants!

Now that we have difiiculty levels for each map let us browse in osu! and on the website according to these levels, so that one can find a appropriate beatmap easier. Also include a ranking on how fast the map is and how hard the jumps are. This will give people a general idea on who is the better aimer and who has more speed and lets them choose beatmaps according to that.

Don't just take the score with the highest amount of points as the one relevant for pp. A HD+HR FC is worth less than a DT+HD S with one sliderbreak in the middle of the map, but will always award more points.
Probably one could calculate the pp for every score you get and compare it to your current top score. If it was a better performance the new one is chosen as the relevant pp score, even though it awards less points. (e.g. the DT+HD sliderbreak now appears as top rank for pp instead of the HD+HR FC).

A new score system showing the performance of the scores would also work great instead of the suggestion above.
Now that you guys found a way to calculate the actual peroformance nearly accurate, why don't you use this as the "score". So instead of showing the amount of points, the leaderboards could show the pp for each score.
This would support the great pp system and would work as well as the current system for tournaments.

Thanks for reading this!
I hope you could get some ideas of it (and that I thought of some new stuff, don't know if others already mentioned it).

best wishes,
Peter

In my eyes, right now, everything seems just perfect. The performances are basically based on skill, and the hardness of the scores. And that's how it should be, for now, really good job.

I agree ~

New ranking is great! I'm now placed around those who I think has similar skills in mp, so it's a big improvement.

Great job all!

The new system is definitely more accurate. I really like the new system because it actually encourages me to play challenging maps and do well, which is better for my improvement than the previous system where I didn't really have to push myself for ranks.

This. Improving your rank is now actually about improving... not just playing more maps.

I have to say these two scores are really damn impressive, I could never do them myself, especially not Taketori Hishou. What you consider a good score is also somehow dependent on the player. Maybe for you these scores aren't that good but maybe for other players the 140+ bpm DT HD scores aren't that good.

This song seems really under-valued to me. - http://osu.ppy.sh/b/137166?m=0
I spent quite a while getting a DT HD FC on it and got basically nothing, some of my other top scores though I would say are no where near as hard as it was for me to FC doll house.

For some reason this seems to be giving a lot of PP - http://osu.ppy.sh/b/95431?m=0
It doesn't seem like that hard of a map to me, not easy, but not worth the points it is giving imo.

I think that speed is being overvalued. Almost all of my top ranks are songs that just put out a lot of notes with not too much difficulty in-between them. Anyway just stuff I've been noticing and don't quite agree with. This system is already miles ahead of PPv1 so I'm happy with it, but it can always be better.

Bad accuracy hd hr scores dont reward much because hr is very accuracy based except on maps like dispel where the aim is the hardest part rather than acc

The rank which has a higher score will count, that is the one which will end up marked as your best in the ingame scoreboard.

I actually had a song where I had a previous rank of 360 or so on before the changes to pp, I played it again today and got a rank of 470 something and went from 1546 pp --> 1547 pp, played it once more and got a rank of 318 but got no pp at all from it. This system confuses me a bit =x

I had an interesting idea.

I know peppy wants to try to put a lot of emphasis on "Contextually relevant" scores into a ranking system, something like a ladder.

I've noticed an effect amongst certain scoreboards, something I guess we can call Scoreboard Stability.

It's hard to explain well, so examples are best I guess?

Highly "Unstable" Scoreboards (The top scores vary heavily on the same mod tier, few if any FCs or SS):
FREEDOM DiVE
osu! Stream Compilation
Don't say "lazy"
Usually incredibly difficult, long, or new maps.

Highly "Stable" Scoreboards (The top scores on the same mod tiers are incredibly similar):
Sis puella magica!
Chousai Kenbo Sengen
Usually incredibly easy or highly played maps.

I think maps with a higher unstable rate scoreboards are generally more "Contextual" (OMG, who's going to be the first to FC this? Who will be the first to FC this with HDHR? DT? FL? First to SS?)

For example, plays like some of Mesita's Flashlight plays (World's End, Gold Dust) or some of Cookiezi's old DT/HR/SS plays (Leia, Airman, Kokou no Sousei) are particularly impressive because they're pretty much the only ones who have charted with those mods or stats.

On the other hand, getting a first place in something like Chousai Kenbo Sengen, while impressive, is slightly less so because so many others have proven themselves of accomplishing it. Unless it's SS, which in this comparison I guess you could consider a Mod tier.

Anyways, I think if you had a way of comparing scoreboard instability and either compiling a chart or weighting the PP top ranks towards more unstable maps we would have a nice context relevant ranking formula.

The rough scale would range from the feasible infinite instability (Nobody has ever even passed this) to the quite impossible infinite stability (Literally ever user in existence has SS.) and award most possible points if you're the only existing user who's achieved the rank. (Mesita only user to S rank World's End on HDFL or better.)

Am I making sense?

This would give flashlight players something to hunt for as they can get high PP values of maps that nobody else has gotten a FL FC in before.

It also would weight more recent plays higher since scoreboards naturally stabilize more over time with some significantly slower outliers.

In ppv1 I was 8.3k. In ppv2 I was 10.3k. In this iteration of ppv2 I'm 8.3k. No change here.

However I do like it a lot more, looking at the top players it seems like everyone is being given an accurate place, and I like the fact that if I get a slider break in a 1,000 note song I still get considered for getting pp. It makes ranking a lot less stressful because I dont actually care about the scoreboard ranks at all. They're too volitile, and the people who belong there should always be higher skill level than me.

yyyup

even in tp if you got a bad accuracy HR score the only thing that you got more of was aim tp, and even then it was like 30 more than nomod

by getting good accuracy you get like 60 more accuracy tp increasing the total tp gain and thus since this system is based on tp increasing the total pp gained

all in all low accuracy HR is useless now unless the map is really really hard to aim already

DT is pretty stupidly weighed, but I guess that's fine as it's one of the harsher mods. Maybe reduce the amount on DT just a tad bit while bumping a tad bit up on HD HR since HR is a bitch.

Could you let me know what exactly those DT HD scores are? I'll look into it then.

While a good idea in theory, ppv1 actually had this to some degree, and would make ppv2 open to farming since there are so many maps which people haven't tried to FL, but are certainly possible. It's not that FL is "way too hard" as it is just uncommonly used because it's not that fun.

What is a low accuracy HR? Anything under 99%?

Comparing here, you'd have to practically SS od10 to get any decent amount of pp on maps which can be commonly SS'd nomod.

but this is based on tp

tp doesn't have weighting on mods like DT and HR because those are mods that change the map and the difficulty settings in themselves

I'd assume that all that's done is that the mod changed map is run through the difficulty calculator again, meaning that how much more pp DT and HR will give is based entirely on the map

Tom can correct me on this I have no idea if I've got this right

anything under 99% on HR gives very little accuracy points on osu!tp so yyyyep

but instead of getting under 99% accuracy on HR you could just, you know, git gud?

Pfft, what you call "very little" might be quite a lot for others. It's heavily based off OD, so having the same accuracy with HR as with nomod will also give a lot more pp. But yeah, the closer you get to 100%, the more points you get. Just look at it this way:
A 98% score has twice as many 100s/50s as a 99% score. The 99% score should therefore give a lot more points.

oh yeah maybe I should've mentioned that part about the 100's
