Most of the older and easier maps are incredibly stable already. There's less, not more incentive to play them based on what I'm describing.

The incentive is to do better in maps that NOT stabilized.

This doesn't necessarily have to be part of the ppv2 algorithm but could be a way of building something like a dynamic chart consisting of the most relevant scoreboards.
I'm afraid I don't quite grasp what you call "unstable" then. Also note the word "most", that you have been using. The ranking system needs to be reliable on all maps - or more precisely: the worst-case error should be minimized. Single points of failure can easily spoil things.
If you can give me a detailed explanation of what you have in mind, then don't hestitate to send me some paragraphs per PM. I'm talking about precise definitions of what "unstable" would be and how the scores should be weighted according to it. I'm curious. :)

I briefly looked through this thread and I didn't find a similar case, but I got a new top rank score according to both the tp and the ppv2 system. However, the thing that confuses me is that I did not gain any pp points for the run, though I gained quite a bit of tp points. The beatmap was SYNC.ART'S - Sins -Kokoro no Tsumi- under the nightmare difficulty.

My question is, why didn't it give me any pp for the run? I mean the accuracy was 99.06% with a full combo of 1087 and with the dt mod used. I have heard of several other players experiencing this, but I couldn't find an exact answer as to why this occurs.

Oh, and on a side note, why does it say that I'm rank 36 and not 34 for the beatmap?
Are you 100%ly sure, that your pp didn't change, or did it simply not display any change in-game? Because if it displays in your best-performance list, then it definitely gets included in the calculation for your pp value.

Regarding the rank 36 notification in your profile: Either it is connected to scores getting removed from said map after you achieved rank 36 (unlikely) or it is indeed a bug. That one doesn't have to do with pp and it would be great if you could report it as a bug in the appropriate subforum. :)

Yes, I am positive that my pp did not change at all. I had my internet page up on my profile and updated it as soon as the score was made. I thought it would take a few hours to submit and take affect, so I waited the night and even played a couple of beatmaps today to see if it would update. my pp has remained at 4761 before and after the score was made.

I will go to a report forum about that other issue since it has occurred on several beatmaps for me now. Probably due to players that have had no activity for a while and the system still keeps their score or something.

It's the same for me, I set 3 scores that would have given me a large amount of TP points, just now! Yet they didn't give me any pp at all, not even 1? This is probably a bug

I took the time to download all your pp values, including your new score and ran the algorithm on everything. It outputs the exact tp, that you currently have. I double checked everything to be correct - even wrote the part of the algorithm that merges your scores to your total pp again on the fly.
This must be an error on your side.

Just did the same for you - your pp value is also correctly considering all your scores.


I won't repeat this process for anyone who asks, please be careful before you say you are 100%ly sure.

Thank you for taking the time to calculate it out. I'll have to make a new record on a similar beatmap to find out for sure if this happens then.

Why would it be harder to do jumps as a mouse user? The only thing that's easier for tablet is longer songs.

Aiming is harder on a mouse because every mouse on the market has sensors that are gimmicky.
Theres a few without prediction issues, but a lot of mouses that are sold today have either acceleration, some smoothing effect, or faulty tracking.
A lot of these problems can be fixed with practice, but every time someone gets a new mouse they have to readjust their muscle memory to that sensor.
I have always said mouse is harder to learn, but has the same mastery level.

On topic though, this system is great. The only thing i dislike is that hards are still weighed higher than on tp but thats fine.

It seems no matter how bad my score is in a beatmap I always get a minimum amount of pp though I just played the latest qualified beatmap and didn't win any pp at all. Can you explain this please? I'm staying away from qualified beatmaps until I get an answer.

Is there a few hour delay (3-6, maybe more) for pp updates on some songs? I've played a few and recieved immediate pp updates and others, some scores that I consider quite well for myself, I recieve no pp.
I thought I was just getting no pp yesterday but today when I checked the site on my phone I moved a few hundred ranks from the time I got off yesterday.

New system is great, now hard farming or being good enough for top 50 on insanes isn't a requirement to receive a more skill-based ranking.

I agree with you to a some point. rather, now DT + HR is valued highly based on what i see. HD + FL are less weighted.

Also, i think this system is not too perfect, since it's still based on "how much you play". e.g : with same skill, someone's pp may be higher than the other. in ppv1, they can still compete (iirc). This is giving a casual player a burden imo, since you need to play many songs. Well I'm not certain on this one

And last, why i am saying this things. Winshley ----> i dont think a person who can SS paraparamaxI is this even the correct title (30 mins + marathon songs) with Hidden are suited to stay in 8k. All of his play are silver SS , so this is why I'm saying that HD FL are weighted less. well in my opinion he deserves something higher. and hell he didnt even now who am i. TAT

Well, just voicing out my opinions.

This is just something that happens naturally. Even if you ranked up quickly the people that played more would just rank up even more.

Currently the newest of the newest maps need a little bit to get added into the difficulty database. Even if your scores don't yield immediate pp results they will eventually get reprocessed after some time or whenever you make another highscore and then added to your pp.

Also I am pretty sure, that qualified beatmaps do give pp.

There is a very small pp bonus for every new highscore, that you make (one per map), which gets lower the more highscores you have in total. This means, that practicing multiple maps is rewarding for newer players while becoming less and less significant the more maps you played. Pretty much any high-ranked player won't profit from this anymore.

The ranks you gained were more likely connected to more inactive players being removed.

Great job with the new system, glad to see playing insanes instead of hards paid off XD~

My apologies if this has been asked before (A single-sentence answer will suffice), will a score with less accuracy +HD which ranks higher, give more PP than an S/SS with higher accuracy, no HD? I have SS/S ranks that are lower than S/A's +HD, and I'm positive I can easily slap on an HD to raise the score a ton but lose my SS/accuracy.

On a related note, would an "exponential drop" in accuracy but increase in score add or take away PP? (Accuracy was said to increase PP exponentially previously) The current system says it takes your best score, and I'm sure all of us have experienced those 1-miss 99.--% non-FC scores. How would lowering accuracy (Say, by 3% to a 97%) but increasing combo (both FC and non-FC) affect it? In other words, if you beat your high-score with a lower accuracy, would that lower your PP? (How heavily is accuracy weighted compared with score/combo)

Trying to farm Insanes with mods half decently (I mean w/o perfect accuracy) but only decreasing in ranking to other people :/ also older maps don't give pp right?

^same question as nooblet. How does the new accuracy system work....? Yesterday I got 1-2% off my overall accuracy and it took quite a chunk off my overall, but today when I got around a 3-4% deviance, it barely fell. And I've been playing some insanes/hards, and even when I get top 1000, I barely rise, or sometimes I don't rise at all. I know that maps are weighted with difficulty, but after getting rank 700/800s on hards&insanes, I only go up around 1-10 ranks.

I played a song yesterday, and beat my A 95% with a B 90%(higher combo+score), and went down like 2pp.

The old pp system did this too. ppv2/pp doesn't factor in the score that gives the most pp, it factors in the one with the higher score. Your new score beat your old one in points, so it was factored in, but gave fewer pp because it sucked anyway. So in a way, you can be punished for playing badly, but it's minor.

is there a decimal pp amount or is everything not at least 1 treated at 0? ie I SS 10 insanes nomod and get .1 pp for each, so at the end I go up 1 pp

I think it'd be cool to have bigger values, so we could see the minor changes after playing a map
Even if we earn 1pp over 52'873, it's better than not seeing the 0.1pp over 5'287 imo

A suggestion that probably wouldn't be able to be implemented any time soon (if at all, who knows how much space and processing power peppy has for scores), based on this quote.

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.
Since these are calculated as a whole new difficulty, why not save each mod combination's score on its own for performance purposes? Everyone can still vie for top ranks with the current score multipliers but they will still get Speed fro their DT play, and Acc from their HR play, etc, etc. Then everyone is happy and if later you get to see what pp/Speed/Acc/Aim you got from a rank you can see what each mod combination gave you.

Other things people suggested that can possibly replace this is displaying the computed difficulty stats of a map in the client. That way people trying to find the best gains (or looking to improve their acc/aim/speed) can see what the best mods to use are (kind of an analog to those looking for points being able see the multipliers for their score with different mods turned on).

--edit to remove "farm"--

Overall I'm loving the new pp system, I gained 24k ranks woo~

Just no @ the tablet part, but I've found that the new system definitely favours jumps. I've been looking at peoples profiles who are a similar rank of my own and trying to copy their scores (got 900 ranks on the day of release doing this hehe) and I've found that after looking at 15~ maps, pretty much all of them are maps with more jumps than your average insane.

Maybe a pros and cons list from me :)

Pros:
-Now that pp calculates based on difficulty and EVERY score you get counts, you can play a song whenever, and if you beat your score, and/or you play a new song and pass, that score affects your rank.
-Ranking is a LOT more casual now and LESS STRESSFUL :D
-Ranks reflect your skill.
-A story a friend on Osu told me: This friend is good at this game. He plays a lot of INSANE maps. Sometime ago (or recently, idk) someone was looking down on him for being bad at osu. This person went from top 500 to 11k because he only played tons of Hard maps for his rank. My friend's Insane map ranks beat the other guy's ample Hard ranks. This proves the "skill" base for ranking.
-I feel like I am deserving of my rank and that it reflects my skill level.
-Better scores, but poor accuracy=lower skill. I AGREE with this, no matter how much it saddens me that my lucky passes no longer count as much.

Cons:
-The maps displayed under the Top Ranks bar in my profile, are probably based off of my score and accuracy compared to the difficulty of the map.
Now, I have a question.
Does the Top Ranks list maps that I may have gotten B's or C's on there because the map was really difficult? Or is it because I ranked in the top 1000 for that difficulty, and there weren't any maps that I had better scores on that were HARDER than the B or C I got?

To my understanding, the reason the Star system is flawed is solely because of things like jumps. Based on just observation, it looks like star difficulty will skyrocket if you refrain from following the guidelines of Distance Spacing when mapping (of course, that's not the ONLY factor).

It calculates how well you did on the map and the difficulty of the map in a similar way that tp does, and if the system calculates that getting a B/C on a very hard map is worth more than some of your other scores, then the ones you got B/C's on will be in your top performance. So yes, you could say it was because you didn't have any other better scores. You don't need to rank sub-1000 in a song for it to be in your top rankings, majority of my maps in top rankings aren't. As far as I know, it has nothing to do with how well you stack up against other people, it's all calculated based on the difficulty of the map, mods and how well you did.

I've read that pp is whole, but I could be wrong. I would also prefer if it was like this.

Figured as much as this. Last thing though, you know those arrows next to ranks now? They list the amount of time from present to when you got that score. I have only seen arrows that point up. Can they point down, indicating that it negatively affects your rank (also, does that mean the arrow pointing up means that it positively influences your rank)?

yes the arrow signifies Heaven and is a call for all of us players to thank the all-mighty God for having allowed us to loiter around and click circles
if the arrow is pointing downwards it means you've made Jehovah mad.

I'm pretty sure you can't lose ranks from doing badly and the arrow direction doesn't mean anything, I think it's just there. I might be completely wrong though.

Just to elaborate on this.

We currently have "difficulty information" presented on the beatmap page in terms of Circle Size, HP Drain, Accuracy, Star Difficulty, etc. These aspects are not relevant to a map's difficulty so much anymore, and I would like to see more technical stats like TP's aim/speed/acc there as well. (Ok so we HAD a new bar) The new bar was useful to a certain degree, but it doesn't contain any information. What I mean is: I don't know where my skill sits on that bar... that bar needs to be related back to our pp in some way, so that players can determine maps around their skill level or slightly higher.

Now that <Insert shocking word here> is done with, new players need to be given a direction in which to improve their rank, otherwise they will continue to play as normal and never understand why they aren't ranking up, leading to more forum posts. Yes we should play for fun, but results are also important and many people play for both. This is a new system. The way of ranking up is different too.

Unfortunately the star system makes it difficult to find any appropriate maps for these players to play slightly above their level, and many just dive into the deep-end of streaming and jumping, hoping to eventually improve, even after a year. People have been doing this for a long time already... it's bad and direction is needed. The popularity of my gdoc lists is an example of how hard it is to find appropriate maps for improving.

I can't tell if the new ranking is working fine for everyone, my previous rank was 9k, now I'm 8k (my tp rank is 11k).
I don't deserve all of them tbh.

Something is pretty frustrating with this ranking... I mean, my #10 Best Performance are so bad.
One of them is old like 8 month ago.
8 month ago is exactly when I got my tablet (my mechanical 2 month later) and I started to play the game " seriously " .
I'm feeling like I have not improving my play that much. What I did during those 8 month ?

I have to work harder ! ヽ(*≧ω≦)ﾉ

(And the game don't want to upload any of my plays since 48h.)

In a similar way you gain tp, you get good ranks.

If you want an actual method, look at profiles of people ranked similar to yourself and try and beat their scores, or get a similar score. This is all I've been doing and I gained 900 ranks yesterday and 600 today, and my "top performance" is pretty much filled with maps from this time. I'm not even trying hard, I've beaten some scores in 3 or less tries and gained 150 ranks for the map. Easy.

I just don't like the ranking system.
Of course, it is impossible to create a system that makes everyone satisfied.
It's reasonable to lower the weight of flashlight, and I accept that.
My rank dropped from #999 to #6030. I'm not surprised because I actually don't have the ability of #999.

However, being a flashlight player, I can't stand that in my best performance, there are no flashlight scores but a lot of strange none records even without fullcombo. I can't stand this kind of treatment.
It is a popular system to measure players' skill, like TP, but it frustrates me.

Playing with flashlight is not only memorizing the map like a robot.
Also, no matter if the system will be changed, I'll keep playing with flashlight because I love it.
I just want to complain.

I like it more than the original pp but still there are some confusing delay of scores... I was #1112 this morning, went to get a #2 in an Insane diff no mod then I drop to 1118... shortly after I get a no mod #4 at a Hard diff and suddenly went to 1090.

There are still initial bug-fixes and fine-tuning things happening. Please be patient for the next few days / weeks for it to stabilize a bit more.

Nice ranking system Tom! I have 0 (zero (null)) complaints about it. In ppv1 I was rank 10k... when ppv2 was implemented I dropped to rank 17k, which was ok since I know I didn't deserve rank 10k. Then I played >>> https://osu.ppy.sh/s/57950 <<< on Lunatic, finished it with a decent combo (873) and although my accuracy was really bad (95%), I skyrocketed to rank 13k... just from playing one song! So, yeah, keep up the good work!

Most, if not all of your flashlight scores are apparently normal and easy maps, while the ones in top performance are insane and hard. System working as planned?

I think there's a lot of tweaking/adding/updating going on right now, my pp increased this morning despite me not having even opened the client for over 24 hours. My "Top Performances" changed as well. I'm guessing we should give it some time to finish processing and stabilize.

With regards to the highest-performance vs highest-score problem, would it be possible to run a pp-value check after every play (regardless of score) and compare it to the pp-value of the current high score? And if the new play is a higher value, to update the pp accordingly even if high score doesn't change?

I admittedly don't know much about what calculations are done client-side vs server-side, or whether pp is calculated from scratch after every play, or anything like that (I'd be very interested to know, actually, if you have time and if that's disclosable), so I can't suggest much in terms of efficiency. My guess is that there's a table of high scores for every player on the server, and that pp is recalculated each time this table is updated...in this case, the only way to implement this higher-pp vs higher-score idea would be to store a new table of highest-pp scores for every player, which would be very memory-expensive (as I think you mentioned somewhere earlier). The only way I can see to get around this would be to migrate the pp calculations to the client-side, but I don't know how feasible that would be.

I've tried to see if I can get any pp at all. Played a bunch of maps, mostly newly ranked with streams and jumps. Got decent acc and ranks, ended up with 0pp. Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong? Is it not real time? I'm confused.

Are all the older maps calculated into the current scores? Or are they still updating? Or do you have to replay some to get them reincluded?

I think it takes time before your pp updates because when I got a top performance a few days ago it took some time before it showed in my performace history. I'm guessing it updates every few hours or so?

I don't know how it works and what should working as planned be like. I'm sure that I have scores that are insane +FL and hard +DTFL, but they are still defeated by the none scores.

Thanks a lot. I hadn't read the early replies. :lol:
However, if flashlight can only get a huge bonus on maps which are hard to aim, should DT get a huge bonus only in maps which have high BPM? I don't think DT is much harder than FL, especially in some slow and long maps.


By the way, how about the maps which don't have that many streams and jumps but are hard to read? Is this kind of difficulty considered?

Theoretically, DT should already only give huge bonus in maps which are harder to begin with. It doesn't add a % multiplier - the difficulty is recalculated from scratch with DT in effect - the same as if you were playing a version mapped at 1.5x speed with no mods. So if a map is slow to begin with, the difficulty won't be that high even with DT.

I think the speed of the map (1/2 notes) with how jumpy it is should play a big part in the FL's bonus system.
http://osutp.net/scores?bid=154889
This is one of the most impressive FL scores yet due to the speed of the map along with its jumps (normally FL scores are on fairly slow maps), but we can see that the system didn't treat Dungeon kindly in comparison to the competition.

Sorry if it was mentioned before, the thread grew quite a bit and didn't want to look through all 17 pages. :o

True. But the country rankings are much different than in osu!tp, that's why I'm asking.

I have some concerns regarding Performance Points and tying it to difficulty of the map.

Most notably.... songs that involve 5.00 difficulty.

There are some songs at 5.00 difficulty that are not as difficult as some of the insane 5.00 difficulty maps, yet I believe they are treated the same for calculations for PP purposes. (I'll provide examples if needed).

This can be "set up for some level of exploit of getting PP" at around the 1k to 2k PP range, in my opinion. Ie... they can effectively raise their PP by playing and doing really well at the easy 5.00 difficulty maps.


Maybe we need to start ranking maps with 6.00 difficulty to really differentiate the hard and really hard maps... because there is a huge saturation of maps at the 4.75 - 5.00 difficulty range?

Lol@people crying because they went from 4k to 600k. If you play for fun then you shouldn't care about your rank.

Here is some definitive evidence/example that will leave anybody baffled on how the PP system would work.

Example 1:

Before improving the score of this map (https://osu.ppy.sh/b/183511), I had a score of like 700k on it, and it was considered one of my top performing songs.

Now compare that to the score of this map (https://osu.ppy.sh/b/312770) which still is at 1.5 Mil. I think this map is harder than the previous map, yet this was not one of my top performing song.

Note that both songs are at 5.00 difficulty. The 2nd one is the more difficult song. DESPITE this fact, my 700k score was a top performer (as of yesterday, now has improved). Now how does that make any sense what so ever?

Example 2:

https://osu.ppy.sh/b/169090?m=0 -> my top score is 1.4 Mil, 79% accuracy, max combo 170, and difficulty of 4.94. This song is in my top performer.

https://osu.ppy.sh/b/309501 -> my top score is 4.6 Mil, 87% accuracy, max combo 460, and difficulty of 5.00. This song NOT my top performer.

Again the 2nd one I feel is much more difficult. Yet somehow the first one is part of my top 10 performance, and the 2nd isn't.

----

I'm aware there are other factors that involve PP, such as how competitive the song could be. However, these two examples does show that something is kinda fishy occurring with 5.00 difficulty songs, and can be set up for exploit with specific songs.

I'm too lazy to check out the maps, but just by looking at the scoreboard I can say what you usually consider to be easier is actually harder.

Didn't check any of the maps tho so I may be wrong. Star system has nothing to do anyways, trust me, just ignore it. You won't get a lot of pp from a random 5* map compared to hard 5* maps.

#2 -> #4 as you can see 4 is double the amount of 2 meaning that at a percentual level my rank dropped almost as much as yours did

GG NO RE THIS SYSTEM IS DOOMED




on a more serious note people who are complaining about their rank dropping should consider the possibility that there might be players better than them getting better scores than what they're getting

just saying that it is an almost certain possibility

so basically i get btr score in this few maps, my pp will increase to the same as him? and how do i know that I have a btr score in that song than him? Thank you very much for answering my question. :D

Just don't think "better score" means "being higher in scoreboard" only in this case. You need to use the same mods (or add some) and get better accuracy.

i.e. Your score won't be "better" if you beat DT score with FL

I've seen how the system actually appreciates good scores with a random dumb miss (a few of my top performances are like that), therefore I can assume the system doesn't punish not-FCing that much. Now, the question, what would happen if you manage to clear something impossible, let's say you clear Airman on DT with a B, how much would that be worth? I mean that certainly requires an insane amount of skill and is probably harder than getting some random few misses score on the same map without any mod.

I know Airman is not a very good example because of low drain, but the point is quite clear.

Misses are penalized very strongly if you have more than just a few. Your combo relative to the maximum possible combo also plays a huge role. But you can indeed get a huge amount of pp for lower scores. A prime example would be jesus1412's C score on https://osu.ppy.sh/b/124501?m=0 . It is a 86% 500 combo with DoubleTime in case you are curious. That's an insane score on such a map, you are free to look at Auto-mode play it with DoubleTime.

SS does not have a huge bonus by itself, but due to the high accuracy required to get one (100% is quite high, eh? :p) it indirectly is worth a lot.

Accuracy is still very relevant, however not as much as in ppv1 anymore.

Thanks. So the more misses you get the harsher it gets (1 miss takes x pp, 2 misses takes 3x pp, 3 misses take 8x pp, etc) and the closer your maximum combo is to the maximum map's combo the better.

Damn I was hoping to fill my top performances with Cs.

technically you can, but the amount of speed and aim that is needed to carry the overall pp anchored by the accuracy factor is probably either on par or higher than rrtyui

since pp uses only the end results, perhaps tom could make a program that can calculate pp gained from arbitrary input values

19k>40k yea i guess kinda pp farm when i think about it after i raged about the drop this system is good only needs to fix bugs and real time update's.I have a suggestion it would be cool to be somewhere written how much pp and acc you gain or lose for a song,lets say under historical tab there would be
<song name> +9pp +0,03 acc or +2pp -0,01 acc.

It would be neat if we had a way to submit a pending map to the difficulty calculator and get a difficulty value/set of values.

1) It'll allow the players to provide more accurate feedback in fine-tuning the weightings of components of the calculator, and
2) It provides a slightly more objective measure of difficulty to discuss creating an even spread of difficulties, or if a Normal is "too hard", prior to ranking.

Since I got a 2200# in my top ranking, can we say that the "top 900 to be ranked" is over and we just need to perform the best we can ? That would be a huge relief for the new insaners :D

it is still very possible to still get pp from C ranks. In my user profile you can see a map that i got a C on is one of my top scores (and I'm rank 9k) because its just that difficult.
