See this shit? Niclijou is this high when he is always using these key mods! This was today, and the whole time he had 4k on. This is why the key mods should be unranked.

HR is unranked, yet it only changes the accuracy for notes.
RD is unranked, but even though it changes the note placements, it still will let you end with the same combo number of the song.
And yet, Key Mods are ranked, even though they change the whole songs track and combo number!

Some people are saying "But some good songs are low key counts." YES I KNOW! I play those songs too and not always 7k! I just want the mod unranked, not the lower key songs!

Take this into consideration people, it's totally unfair for all of us skilled players.

My point was that in that player's example, he didn't use key mods for his rank at all, but just played easy songs.

Honestly, I just don't like it when people imply that anyone who doesn't play 7K exclusively is not a "skilled player". Without the key mod, I'd have to play the slow LN-spam maps people keep making for 4K

Are auto converts a big deal in rankings? Admittedly this evidence is anecdotal and I don't know what ranking system the ingame system is displaying, but when I was solely playing auto converts I was just inside the 10k mark, ever since I've been playing osu!mania specific maps my ranking has shot up to 3k. I haven't suddenly become a much better player, but I've suddenly overtaken seven thousand people.

What if we had something like a MMTT? (Mania Map Testing Team)

Since most mania maps have their multiple difficulties and some being harder than the highest star rating in there (ex. Wotamin-Gigantic O.T.N. Entozer's Another > L.I.A.'s Insane difficulty wise), the team would test a map before it is qualified or approved and they send in their difficulty ratings? I think this would help with the mania specific maps a lot.

Hello everyone,

note that currently the osu!mania ranking is not functional. If you have any suggestions on how the future system should work, then leave it in this thread, please.


I'd like to mention a few things regarding how I plan on tackling this.

The general direction:

1. First of all, everyone can decide on his/her own which maps he deems good or bad, or which ones he/she prefers playing. We shouldn't be forcing certain maps on people by making them worth more for no sensible reason.
2. I'll try to make an algorithm that's fair for both auto-converts and mode-specific maps. We will all see how it turns out, and if it's alright, then I see no reason to reduce the value of auto-converts. As mentioned above you are still free to play the maps you prefer playing. I can however understand where the auto-convert argument is coming from, and it'll definitely be addressed if there won't be a good solution that weights all maps the same.
3. Default X-key modes exist for each specific beatmap for a reason. My initial plan is to give slightly more points to the default X-key mode of a particular beatmap than any custom one. This is not set in stone yet and most likely will change in one way or another while testing.
4. Unfortunately X-key specific ranking is not going to happen. That'd be for one part a way too huge amount of things to manage and for the other would clutter up everything.

Beatmap difficulty:

This is were you all can help the most. My current concept is somewhere along the following: Similarly to how tp works with osu! standard maps I would like to instroduce strain values to measure how hard it is to play a certain map. This essentially means, that a higher note density will also be considered harder, while the algorithm is aware, that using a single hand or finger multiple times in a row is more demanding than simply alternating.
For mods the map will simply be transformed accordingly to what standard does in the moment. HR will increase OD, DT the speed at which the map plays back, etc.
I have not yet gone in-depth and it would be great if you could give me hints of what the hardest patterns are and how to rate difficulty. Any X-key feedback is welcome!

Some quick feedback on things I'm seeing right off the bat. I'm seeing a lot more lower key maps being put at a higher difficulty than higher key maps, even though they're quite a bit easier.
ex. Akasha's 8k FEVER is lower than Little Star 4k INF.
unfinished's 4k Accel is 8 higher than its 7k Burst.

Another issue is how you're handling the difficulty for long notes (or maybe HP Drain/OD). Wintersun 7k Winter is definitely a lot lower than it should be.

1. croix (roxas mx) underrated, it starts getting quite fast near the end which makes it slightly harder and makes me lose a bunch of acc.
2. crack traxxxx 7k inf overrated, everything on this map is just on a different level than the ones you put around this level.
3. game brain (lunatic) underrated, everything on this map is just on a different level than the ones you put around this level.
4. wintersun (bobby dambrosio) strongly underrated, long notes are really punishing + slowjam makes it slightly harder.
5. piano concerto no.1 (lvl 31) overrated, everything on this map is just on a different level than the ones you put around this level.
6. G59 (lvl 36) underrated, everything on this map is just on a different level than the ones you put around this level.
7. Gigantic O.T.N (Lia's Mania) overrated, It has same density than the diff by entozer, but this map uses more chords and minibreaks which make it require less speed, stamina and acc. On top of that, there's a lot of symmetrical patterns which make it slightly easier as well.
8. chain destruction (siilento remix) overrated, I lose a bunch of acc on the end, but it's not enough to be that highly diff judged.
9. smoooooch 7K SC overrated, only reason it's hard is because of the SVs which are memorizable. Should be ignored.
10. rhythmical planet (collab) overrated, there are some pretty hard parts in there, but also quite a bit easy parts that pump up accuracy so it doesn't deserve to be so highly diff judged.
11. imperishable night 2006 (7k insane) overrated, there are some pretty hard parts in there, but also quite a bit easy parts that pump up accuracy so it doesn't deserve to be so highly diff judged.

I judge underrated/overrated based on how hard it is to get a good score, not on a clear basis.

Beatmap difficulty:

As for Taiko and CtB I also got an initial difficulty list for osu!mania ready. This is the gamemode I am the least sure about my results and so far only the base algorithm is done with no variations. However, you can already see how low converts are weighted simply because they are so easy, I've included a few of the harder ones:

Just a quick glance >,<
Clearly there is huge issue about low key amount diff earning a relative high difficulty. One thing I want to point out is that you cannot simply put them all under one single rating system although we have to do that in the future anyway. So now in the early stage of ppv2 I suggest make unique list for every key amount or at least don't put something completely different(for instant 8k and 4k) together. The comparison among different key amount are totally none sense for now.

A couple of opinions:

In difficulty 6, take a look at 7k charts.
Unfinished 7k Hard and Eden HD. Those two clearly don't belong the group of difficulty 6.
Eden HD -> although there is no really outstanding difficult part in this chart, parts contain continuously 1/4 in a relatively high BPM and many 4key-press at the same time make this chart extremely hard compare to other maps in the same level.
Unfinished 7k Hard -> 146BPM with some 1/4 and easy 1/2... seems not harder than other maps in this level. Actually not. Pattern make this chart a little bit hard to read and press for players in that level such as 00:20:065 - and 00:25:099 - , and for those who can not master higher level it is extremely hard to earn FC and high acc(OD8 btw).
So what's important? Sharing a similar average density, songs contain remarkable hard part (like burst or strange pattern) are usually deserved a higher difficulty. Everything unique may makes a chart harder than usual.

That is a problem. hard charts with lower average difficulties usually result in good score and OK acc, but actually to master them you need to enter a much higher level in order to manage those extreme hard part. This cause many underrated cases in the list and we need to pay more attention on the maximum difficulty of a chart to judge its rate.
Same thing also happened in 4k. Eg: Wu Xuan Lan 4k Hard and Insane Techniques 4k Hyper


Speed change and large amounts of LNs makes difficulty rise. We're so Happy obviously easier than other two charts due to this reason.
LNs patterns and speed change should also be considered.

Good Job!

The issue here is that DT doesn't increase the score multiplier in mania and that the score is capped at 1 million. This means that even if you make a better score pp-wise with DT and do not beat your standard speed highscore, which is worth less pp, nothing will happen.

This gives an "unfair" advantage to those who didn't make a good standard speed score on a map and can play it with DT instead which gives more pp due to the increased difficulty of the map. Indeed, there are players who could make a decent score with the DT mod, but won't get anything out of it even if it is way harder than in normal speed because they already have a good standard score.

I see no way of solving this issue and keeping the score limit at 1 million at the same time unless it is possible to count only the best performance on a song instead of the best score.

On every single map I played with HD I had the same result as nomod; I don't play HD regularly and have not much experience with the mod but it feels like it makes no difference at all difficulty-wise.

Can't speak for FL since I don't play it but I know people who play FL often end up finding it easier than nomod.

Why exactly do we discuss DT usage right now? I feel like that is a point being very unimportant right now. What we should concentrate on is why certain converted maps give such an big amount of pp, and why certain mania-maps are considered easy while they are actually hard and vice versa.

The problem with the converted maps such as Extreme Fantasy might be the note density. I agree to an certain extend that yes, the note density on those maps are higher than on other maps, but note density does NOT equal difficulty.

Same thing with some of the mania-maps, especially Wintersun for example, that (in my opinion) should be placed a lot higher than it already is.
There are certain patterns that do not seem hard, but are really hard in reality due to how exactly they are placed. For example http://osu.ppy.sh/b/330588 [Eien] as a Longnote training map, is very, very easy in terms of noteplacement, but this only counts if you are good with Longnotes in the first place.

In my humble opinion, there are two options:

a) Calculate alot of patterns into your algorithm, and i mean -alot- because there are alot.
b) Have a Mania-Difficulty-Rating-Team, as that may an option as long as there arent alot of maps and they could still catch up.

Atleast thats how i see it.

It's not a bug. DT is considered as of now, that's intended behaviour. Whether that will change isn't clear yet.

October Scream wrote:

This thread in a nutshell: ppv2 is crap.

DT should not be considered if it should give extra pp or not. It should already not be giving extra pp. The only way it could be remotely considered if it was to give extra pp when you're in the top 8 of a song. The only ones I've seen using DT are the top 10 O!M players, and their non DT scores are a hell of a lot better than there recent DT scores. It would have been best to stick with a broken ppv1 I would say since it didn't give any extra pp to players who used mods (But the star system is broke, which I will talk about in the next paragraph).

October Scream wrote:

And on the topic of Auto Converts; why only count certain auto converts, and deny a team of O!M map judges? The method of suggesting which maps are giving too much pp for their difficulty from other players to you is almost the same as having a map judging team; the only difference is that it's the final opinion of one person instead of multiple people, which is far more accurate than one person or a broken star system.

I believe other people like Drace said what I just want to said below.

I'm not saying the algorithm is "wrong". It's always "correct" and reflect one kind of difficulty - based on a certain norm.
Actually, we everyone have a norm. For example, when I say that

xxbidiao wrote:

Imperishable night 2006 is underrated. Its later half is crazy.

I implied that

xxbidiao's thought wrote:

Imperishable night 2006 is underrated. Its later half is crazy. That's why I can't get good score on this song amongst other song of same "difficulty".

You should get what I mean - It's nonsense at all to the community, because other people may find it easy or even harder - in one word, have different thoughts. And it's all about the norm we set up during our years of rhythm gaming experience.

For instance, I started rhythm gaming on Taiko no Tatsujin and DJMAX / DDR, which is all note-biased. Without good experience on slider-style song, I'm good on IIDX style songs, but poor at O2-style songs.
However, Fate_Yakumo, another player who is of O2Jam expert, find these slider songs easy - He can S a song of O2Jam style that I can't pass. When coming to IIDX songs, instead of one-side winning, we are just at the same level, something 70% vs 30%.
You guess what? I always overrate slider-biased song, and he always overrate note-biased ones.

This example reflect 2 common norm in 7/8K: IIDX norm and O2Jam norm. There are also many more, and every key amount have multiple norms. Sadly they are not enough compact with each other. And whether you admit it or not, you are setting up your own norm.

Just like what you have said,

Tom94 wrote:

You implied that "I'll degrade these players who is good at high-density pattern playing" (To some extent moving away from IIDX norm to O2Jam norm).

So this is why I keep saying that "This difficulty number does nothing with actual difficulty at all" and "We should try to admit there are weighted songs".
Considering the diversity of mania players, however you modify your algorithm, there are always some people winning, and some people losing.

My suggestion is, however hard it is, and however offence you made, a certain norm should be set up. Whether you choose BMS norm (note biased, density and jackhammers counts ) or O2Jam norm (slider biased, coordination counts) or even DDR norm (hand speed counts) or a mixture of them, Don't hesitate to say that "I mean to hurt you" because what norm you choose you hurt some people who have ability that the norm doesn't emphasize on. What's more, the process of letting players finding their weighted song is fun, isn't it?

-----------------

For the DT stuff, I actually have more to say.
Why do people come here to protest about DT score problem?
Actually it's not about scoring at all (People can play DT on the first run).
DT getting higher weight neglects the design of the osu!mania system.

You may have noticed that osu!mania has the most strict judgment with MAX even on OD0 (Actually OD0 and OD10 has no difference on timing of MAX). This is intended because most people agree that osu!mania should be different to other modes by having judgment emphasized, not combo. (o!m once calculate score just like o!standard and current scoring system is later decided.) The philosophy inside is that 1 more MAX is good.

However having DT heavier weighted, though completely reasonable, is going against this. People may achieve a just-so-so S score to win more PP then a SS with 90% MAX ratio. This put osu!mania far away from it's emphasize on judgment, to the extent that people just DTing every song regardless of judgment, and people no longer care about MAX ratio. This is surely what people don't want to see. (Feature requests on DT bonus score has been rejected multiple times both by faculty and players)

So unless ppy somewhat change the mechanism to make DT version of the beatmap a whole new one and have its separate scoreboard, I suggest no bonus for DT for now.

Can you name any players who are better than Staiain at stepmania style maps? What gives you the right to say which kind of skill is worth the most? I can understand if you disagree, that's totally valid, but try being less offensive. It's not like your opinion is worth more than that of other's.

#1 Judging from the general opinion here the DT bonus for pp will get removed for now. It might return when there has been found a solution regarding nomod plays overwriting DT, but as it is now it doesn't make much sense to have DT give a bonus.

#2 Keymods don't decrease pp gain at the moment. This will change.

Right now, I can compare Furry. There are more players out there though, and the only reason Furry isn't high is because he is playing unranked maps it seems to me.

I've spectated him, and he's good. May pass Staiain. He has dt ranks on autoconverts, but 4k, just like Staiain.
