yeah im lost on how the ranking works.. ive played songs ive never played before, with a high accuracy, score, full combo, yet ive been dropped countless times now. what exactly causes that? i play everything above 4 stars, and with mods on most of them, i dont see what is causing me to drop after improving either. an explanation of how the pp system works would be great, in detail please.

because the maps you're playing are way too easy for your rank, therefore they don't grant any pp. while this happens people around you rank fc songs that are somewhat difficult for them and get a higher rank than you, therefore you drop ranks.

The star system is obsolete. The current pp system uses a new, more accurate difficulty rating system that currently isn't public as of yet. I think your best bet is to look at the Top Ranks on the profiles of people above your rank, and try to beat those scores.

You can also check out Tom94's tp difficulty ratings, which shares a few similarities to ppv2's difficulty rating. But keep in mind that tp is a different system than pp, so they won't be entirely the same.

Also, nobody knows exactly how the ppv2 system works. You'll have to wait until the osu!wiki is updated if you want the specifics.

so techinically speaking, if i was to play an extreamly difficult map, get a b with with like 87% accuracy, and place on that map, if i beat the score someone ahead of me in the globals, i would rise in ranks? if thats how it works now, i got some work to do.

Well, I'm not entirely sure how it works, but I do know that the amount of pp you earn is much more dependant on your accuracy than it is on your score, your combo or your beatmap rank. I don't know if a B would be enough to bring up your rank, but I've gotten some from A ranks before.

Also, with mods, keep in mind that the new system recalculates DoubleTime and HardRock as separate maps, while Hidden and Flashlight only give an assigned bonus (therefore DT and HR are generally more valuable than HD and FL). So that should give you an idea on what mods you should be working on, since they're different for each map.

I don't really understand the new ppv2 either. I played a song above my normal difficulty, ranked 6k/9k on global, and I shot up 600 ranks.
So my guess is play harder songs :p
