What I'm getting at here is that standard will still use 2 keys or two mouse clicks, all it is is there will be harder things from the same map and different mappers. It's just placed differently. Mania can have the same intensity and challenge from a 4k and a 7k, but they both have different key amounts, when standard, sticks with the same things through the whole mode, same with taiko and CtB.

This is a different game as well. I see your points, but I'm not acknowledging them or saying my minds set towards them. If you want me to say my opinions on yours, then just ask.

Since you seem like I don't understand, I'll answer one of them.

Calling an ITG player useless because they can't play PIU is horrible and is a point that will likely get you in a lot of fire, because they are different games. Repeating this point with PIU -- you won't do well calling a PIU weak because they can't play half-double on ITG (6-key iteration), and you won't do well calling someone out on ITG double (8-key) for not being able to play Technomotion (9-key) much like you won't be able to get away with calling a Techmotion player weak because they can't play PIU double (10-key).
I never said weak. I said lazy. If they don't want to learn how to play because they just want their same key amount, that's just lazy. If they don't want to learn because it's extremely difficult for them, then they should say and I'd understand. But instead, they defend themselves by saying "I'd like to see you try this." If they can say that, then I should be able to as well.

PIU and DDR/ITG are the same mechanics: Step on the arrows. The difference is you have 1-2 extra columns to focus on. Technomotion I'm not familiar with, but Pop n' Music I am. That's their choice of why they don't want to learn anything else. I'm finding all of your long posts getting us nowhere because all you'll say is

if Staiain is the best 4k player in the world
What if this actually was the case, and one of the reasons why I stick to 4k for the most part, and play stuff on DT because I can and legit enjoy it and not because I'm trying to farm, ever considered that? Reason I became more or less the world's top 4k player is because I enjoyed it a lot and stuck with it for years, I played 6k and a bit 7k too but just because i'm not equally skilled in all modes you don't have the right to condescend me.

I played some 4k converts because o!m lacks a large variety of 4k specific charts and i ran out of stuff to play that provides an enjoyable challenge to me, and people wanted me to score on them while they spectated that day.
What if ideu-, Entozer, or some other player was the best 7k player in the world? Would they stick to just 7k?

No. They play all key amounts and enjoy it all. The only reason I ever considered you of farming was all of the Autoconverts being dt, then saying you enjoy to farm also made me think badly, and that was a bad, terrible assumption. If you want an apology, I'll give one.

I'm sorry I thought you farmed for the hell of it. You are a good 4k player, it's just not only 4k out here though, and I thought it was unfair to everyone that's played all keys.

I agree my rank was way too high for having played almost all 4k (i never said i did), but seeing as there are almost as many 4k charts as 7k charts ranked (to my knownledge) and that i did for the most part play those and not autoconverts I still feel that players like me, Halogen-, Bites etc. derserve some recogntion in the form of DT pp increase, considering we are able to get good scores on those charts (sometimes making it to the top 50 board) even with the handicap of using DT which I feel derserves recognition, pp is after all meant to be a way to objectively measure a players skill level to some degree.

I'm not here to show off or try to get the highest rank I can, if you see my play count here you can tell I am casually playing this game, I'm just stating that even if we don't play 7k as much as 4k doesn't mean we aren't high level players that should be left out of the pp system.

I accept the apology and we should put this misunderstanding behind us.

This really has gotten out of hand, and it's all because of one person (who in my opinion, really doesn't know a lot about what they're talking about). I'd much rather contribute to a meaningful discussion on how to resolve this point system algorithm so that it can fairly represent all osu!m players, 4K through 8K players alike. I feel like scaling the score multiplier objectively for auto-converts and the number of keys away from the original value is a good way to add deductions -- I mentioned something like 1.00x - .125n, where n is the number of keys away from the original number of keys from normal; this way, a 4K player can still net performance points for playing an 8K conversion, but they're only getting half as many PP as normal. This would discourage PP grinding outside of a given key-range. To compensate, RC for other key-modes should be considered such so that an even number of files exists for 4, 5, 6, 7 (maybe 8) key modes. You could expect a more even distribution of performance points handed out for players who are proficient in all modes, and you could expect higher plays for ranked files overall by those who have to play auto-converts.

If a player plays a song on DT, you can add a fixed amount and scale the values similarly -- so, if 1 - .125x is the algorithm and you wanted DT to hand out 10% more pp normally, you would say: 1.1 - .1375, etc.

Just a thought. Bouncing more ideas out could be helpful for Tom94 and I for one am in favor of getting the ball rolling so that there is a solid system in place.

Well, that makes me feel better......

The reason I've flipped out was because I thought Tom94 never listened to anything some of us said, but that was a stupid thing as well. I was just stating my opinion as well originally and giving my opinions on how the pp scoring could be fixed. We talked yesterday though, and I realize he doesn't have time for everything he's working on, which I've forgotten out of frustration and anger.

I'd gladly like to get back to the main topic and for all of us to help with this.

I'd like to ask you - mania players about a certain thing. What do you think is harder/easier or same difficulty. Let's take 2 maps: 4k and 7k. Let's pretend that note density of each one is same and bpm is same. For example 4k map has a density of let's say 10 notes/s and 7k has a density of 17.5 notes/s due to having more keys. Even though the number is different for each but is the same considering we have different amount of keys. Let's also pretend these maps are without crazy patterns, just simple triplets, doubles and alternation. How would you judge the skill required to play these maps? We can also take it a step further to use all our fingers and say, use a 10k map with a density of 25 notes/s.

Under a different number of keys, an equal density would lead to the intensity being major more likely on the lower amount of keys.

After a certain density, the difference would reside in the special key, though, if you're thinking per-lane densities instead of overall density.
Hitting 4k, 6k and S8K is likely to use the same jacking abilities (With the exception on pinkies, being the weakest fingers of the hand, probably)

whereas the special 5k, 7k and 7k+1 key modes are likely to be different, even more so depending on your key setup.

I'm not sure it can be evaluated without going for a case-by-case basis.

if you have the same density per lane, then the higher keymode would most likely be quite a bit more difficult, due to needing more muscle memory and reading skill to deal with all the patterns.
if you have the same density overall, then the lower keymode would probably be quite a bit more difficult due to the fact that you have a lot more strain on less fingers.

It goes down to what I mentioned when responding to October Scream -- it's all down to pattern construction.

For example 4k map has a density of let's say 10 notes/s and 7k has a density of 17.5 notes/s due to having more keys. Even though the number is different for each but is the same considering we have different amount of keys. Let's also pretend these maps are without crazy patterns, just simple triplets, doubles and alternation.
The unfortunate matter is that you simply can't judge based off of the note density itself, because patterns are going to be inherently harder on 4K than 7K for different reasons. Despite only using index/middle or middle/ring, there are some patterns that are going to lend themselves to more difficulty. Assuming that there's no crazy patterns, and that doubles are used regularly/alternated, you can expect more patterns on 4K to be anchor-heavy (an anchor is a situation where the same arrow implicitly/explicitly repeats multiple times) because there's less room to play with layering in charts. Being that there are less pattern combinations overall on 4K, Agka brings up an arguable point:

Agka wrote:

Before going on though, I do want to make a note that overall note density shouldn't be increased simply because there are more keys: this simply implies that you are increasing the layering by n(k) when the number of keys isn't going to dictate the map's layering: the mapper is going to dictate the map's layering. Think in a more unbiased scenario, where the number of keys is not going to dictate the layering -- let's say we have an area of the song where there is a single synth in a melody and nothing more, and it's running at 1/4 snap at 150 BPM (to make your 10 notes/s example). In an instance where we have the same structure, it's going to depend strictly on patterning. Something that frequently leans towards one hand on 6K/7K/8K is obviously going to be more difficult than just about any 4K stream because you have a massive amount of patterning permutations. Likewise, a fluent stream on 6K/7K/8K is likely going to feel easier than a fluent stream on 4K to an experienced player because the overall feel is more natural.

Assessing at 17.5 N/S is a huge way to illustrate that chart compositions on 4K/7K are extremely different. To get an idea of how fast this is: 17.5 N/S is equal to 262.5 BPM 1/4 snapped stream, which is incredibly fast. Agka's point holds true again: the intensity would feel considerably higher on 4K because there are less patterns to choose from, whereas a 6/7/8K situation would a bit smoother. Cramming 17.5 n/s requires you to hit 1050 notes in 1 minute. This is achievable under easier circumstances in higher key values: taking a look at another musical example, we'll assume that a section has a bass drum hitting every beat in a measure, snare drum hitting beats 2 and 4 every measure, clap hitting beats 2 and 4 every measure, a closed hi-hat running on the up-beat of every beat, falling in between your bass drum, snare drum, and clap in even intervals, and a melody running straight 1/4 stream (a basic/generic song structure). Most 7K/8K map would be able to handle layering this directly, accounting for every sound appropriately, but the layering would be heavy. However, the 4K map would have to compensate to make the chart reasonably playable, possibly being forced to ignore the fact that a snare/clap exists at certain points to more suitably account for the melody.

Xcrypt said it best:

In a situation where there are no repeated notes over a given even interval, a per-lane density would prove that the higher key amount gets more difficulty because there are a lot more keys to handle at once. If you were to spread patterns out in such a way on 4K with a per-lane density of 4 n/s, you would have a 16 n/s stream assuming that the patterns are evenly distributed. If the same were to happen in 8k, well... you'd likely be in big trouble, haha. These are very extreme and unlikely circumstances, though.

The number of unique key jumps in patterns should definitely be considered. The "stress" of a pattern is affected by how often new keys are introduced. "Note density" should already account for this, and if I know tom, it already does.

No matter how difficulty calculation is done, it will never function well on a ranking system where different key modes share the same ranking. Each key mode is a completely different game which requires different skills, and players are not exclusively better or worse than each other in a global "mania" way.

i.e. If I play with a similar level 4K player (being a 7K player myself), he will consistently beat me on all 4K maps we play, but if we play 7K I will consistently beat him on all maps we play. Neither of us is better or worse at "mania"; (note that I'm only mentioning 4K and 7K as those are the two most popular modes in o!m) he is better at physical precision with fast notes as well as vertical reading which are the main skills in lower key mode whereas I'm better at reading density and wide notes which are prevalent only in a higher key mode. A ranking system that tells us that one of us is either better or worse will be completely random based on arbitrary parameters and won't really reflect anything.

No matter how it's done, each key mode is a different game that requires different skills. From a programmers point of view all of those mania key modes might seem very similar and you might assume there's only a small difference between them, but from a player's point of view the difference can be as big as being twice better in one key mode than another person but twice worse than him in another. The ranking will never be able to reflect this with a shared board for all.

Again it's important to stress, this is not a minor difference, this is as big as me being unable to pass a 4K map and barely getting 70% with nofail on it while a 4K player gets 95% S rank on it, whereas me being able to get 95% on a 7K map that the same 4K player can't pass at all and barely gets a D on. A ranking system that tells us that one of us is worse than the other at "mania" is a slap in the face considering the completely different skills involved.

If it's not possible to give a separate ranking per key mode, giving at least a separate 4K and All-K board will solve A LOT of problems as the vast majority (over 99%) of players either play exclusively 4K or all key modes available. This would solve a ton of ranking issues instantly that are otherwise not solvable at all and can only be subjectively addressed in a way that will either be unfair for 4K players or for higher-key players.

I found something that shouldn't be there

Here an example:

In this case you have to notice that Zumokuta has a better Rank and a higher level (its not given in the Picture)then me

This is not a complaint against Zumokuta,this is against the PP-system

I noticed that a few guys got a better country rank then me so I decided to look at Zumokutas Top Ranks and I noticed 2 things
1.About 80-90% 4k (I think)
IF the PP-system stays like it is in this moment,then I want seperate rankings for 4k and 7k
2.I noticed this record

Zumokuta finished the map with the mod 4k,99% and round about 770.000 points

Then I played the map by myself,BUT I played with 7k,95-96% and 815.000 points
But


I got like 4pp and Zumokuta round about 50pp,but I have more points and played it with 7k(If you not already noticed,this converted map is 7k)
This get me to the point that the current system is NOT interested in the amount of points you got.
Its just interested in your accuracy ,which make it easier to get lots of pp when you are a 4k player.
I am wrong or is this really a problem in the current system?

AGREED! I'm tired of seeing 7K players getting the higher score just because 8K has a restriction.

each key has their own difficulty and 4k is not easier than 7k
i personally think that 7k is easier compare to 4k although i started playing mania with 4k

His 770.000 points with 4K are a lot better than your 815.000 points with 7K. Why you might ask? Because 4K gives a big score penalty! Relative to the maximum possible score he could have gotten he did a LOT better than you. Despite the 4K map being rated quite a bit easier than the 7K version (I checked!) his better play by a huge margin made up for that and earned him more pp.

Ok,I played this map again but with 4k and got 765.000 points.
I personally think the 7k version is harder then the 4k,but thats not the point.
The first time I got 815.000 points and thats more then 765.000,so the first try is my Top Score.
Does this mean that I have to play some maps with 4k and 99% ,when I could pass them with 7k and 95-96%,just for the Top Score?
I think the same 7k converted map is always easier in 4k then in 7k ,but I want to play with 7k,because 4k isn't challenging me enough.
(This is my opinion,because I never saw a converted map that is easier in 7k then in 4k)

Actually I disagree with this after rethinking it number of times, but anyway the problem is that AC's give too much pp and should we wieghted less, all slow streams maps like this or this are giving so much pp, that they tend to overtake good scores on hard mania charts

I consider myself a mostly 7k player, however most of my pp comes from 4k maps. I find it way easier to rank up playing 4k than 7k. I also don't get why hard maps with ~85% give nothing but easy maps with ~95% give 10 pp.

Judging from this and the mostly similar opinions I'll have adjust the difficulty algorithm, so it can give more sensible values for 4K vs 7K maps. It should be noted, though, that the 7K version already _IS_ considered harder. Just not by enough to outweight the score differences you had relative to the maximum possible scores.

My thoughts as a noob mania player:
4k is overrated at the low level, but underrated for high tier maps.
After accumulating over 1.5k plays of 7k, I tried out 4k for maybe ~150 plays. Now I have 18 4k maps in my top 20 performances (and more beyond that, but I'm too lazy to count). I mean, I probably have an advantage with 4k-type modes due to my taiko experience, but I really don't think it should outscale my 7k performances that easily.
The point is, all of the 4k maps I played are extremely easy to read with simple patterns - yet they are rated as harder than much more complex 7k maps with a similar overall note density. I'm making assumptions about your calculation methods here, but maybe you could scale down the weight of per-lane density for low density values (keep it the same or even increase it for really high density)?
On the other hand, the hardest 4k maps are weirdly underrated. Imperishable Night 2006, Bangin' Burst and Kamui are all listed as "I"-level difficulties instead of "X". That can't be right, can it?

My top 7k performance also feels a bit out-of-place. Personally I feel like my FC on Utakata, Ai no Mahoroba [LV.14] should be my top performance, but the algorithm considers Stella [Pro Drum] better. I assume it's because of accuracy since Stella uses OD9, but even so, Stella has a slightly inflated star rating in my opinion. The map uses a lot of chords, but that's about it. They are not even hard chords at all, since most of them are symmetrical and extremely repetitive. And I didn't even FC or anything. So maybe reduce difficulty of highly symmetrical maps if others get the same impression from higher level maps?

to give an easier example, think of a song with 1000 key counts on both 4k and 7k equally distributed on both hands.

now think that 900 keys are all in the left hand in 7k while still the same in 4k.

hope you get the picture.

also I find those maps MEANT for mania a lot easier to get 300s than those that came from autoconverts. if nothing else, I think many mania players are really, really, REALLY hungry for harder maps. Everything seems very easy to get an S.

There seams to be something very broken about easy mod. I first played this map : https://osu.ppy.sh/b/279134 with the EZ mode and got a low 300k score with a 88,6% accuracy which then appeared on my top5 best performance on my profile. So, I decided to beat my score without the mode to get an even better performance. I got 2x my old score BUT a 87,8% accuracy and then I suddenly lost 22 global pp. When I went to my profile, my score went from being worth 180~pp to 116pp.

It doesn't look like the EZ mod gives any kind of penalty and thus can be used to pass maps way easily and still get a better performance then when you don't use it... :|

I plan to make quite some changes to the mania difficulty algorithm. Yes, easier 4K diffs are overrated and higher ones underrated. And yes, the algorithm overrates certain patterns in general by a lot, which is bad.

I first played this map : https://osu.ppy.sh/b/279134 with the EZ mode and got a low 300k score with a 88,6% accuracy which then appeared on my top5 best performance on my profile. So, I decided to beat my score without the mode to get an even better performance. I got 2x my old score BUT a 87,8% accuracy and then I suddenly lost 22 global pp. When I went to my profile, my score went from being worth 180~pp to 116pp.

It doesn't look like the EZ mod gives any kind of penalty and thus can be used to pass maps way easily and still get a better performance then when you don't use it... :|
Easy increases the HitWindow and decreases the accuracy pp you can get for your score by doing that. At your accuracy of ~88% you barely get any accuracy point anyway, so Easy won't really make a difference apart from allowing you to pass the map more easily. You would probably get a lot more pp by getting better scores and accuracy on slightly easier maps. Mind trying out and confirming, denying?

Can someone compare Easy with nomod while doing higher accuracy runs? Anything from 90% - 100% is fine, more feedback is always good.

Ok here is my feeback. I played this map until I somehow manage to beat my EZ accuracy with no mod and I finally managed to get a 89,25% accuracy. I then went to my profile to see how much pp it was worth now and..... it was worth a mere 158pp; way less than the 181pp my 88,61% EZ mod score gave me. I do not understand how this can be possible if there is truly a decrease in the accuracy pp.

I do not think it is very logical that a EZ pass with ~88% accuracy can even be CLOSE to be worth the same amount of pp as a 89% accuracy with no mod (89% is not even that bad imo).

Did you maybe have a significantly higher max combo or less misses in your Easy run?

In my easy run, I had a 149x max combo and 41 misses while in my no mod best score, I have a 177x max combo and 42 misses. So, yeah. Nothing that major here :|

Combo / misses don't really matter in osu!mania. The actual score relative to the maximum possible score is looked at (non-linear before someone complains :P) and accuracy is factored in, too, by a smaller portion. (See the wiki.)

Does SV/BPM changes affect pp?

Its impossible to change scrolling speed while playing now, but as I remember It was possible to do while pausing a game (so, we have pretty high scores on "bpm jumpy" maps, now its pretty hard to get high acc on maps like this http://osu.ppy.sh/s/107565 because of scrolling speed).

EZ should definitely be nuked, 50% like its score modifier. I went to go try it and now I'm stuck with 3 plays where all I did was spam for a pass in my top 10. It's literally free pp, even new players can spam for passes on EZ...

HT also has a similar issue it seems.

EDIT:

Actually nevermind, I think it's getting halved/reduced accordingly. Still feels a bit much IMO.

EDIT2:

Also requesting/suggesting EZ nerf. It's ridiculous, I shot up by 300pp or so with it.

Hello!

Easy mod's effect on osumania PP scoring has become a pretty prevalent point of discussion around #osumania.

Right now Easy mod doesn't take off nearly as many PP points as it needs to. It has become a huge strategy to simply put on Easy mod and spam your way through a very difficult map and reap all of the points.

Bumping this and 1 more question, does DT in future will affect PP? Because atm its pretty useless mod to use because you are not getting any bonus for map difficulty...

Was already implemented, but then removed. And tbh I don't like the fact of playing w/ mods to get more points.

It would be okay if DT would have it's own scoreboard, right now it's pointless because pepole who were going for #1's can't get pp from DT plays even if they can FC with it, also we didn't really get any response about EZ mod and I don't see changes in mod key weighting, is this thread already abandoned?

There haven't been updates to the pp system for any of the modes in a while, so don't worry - Tom is not specifically ignoring this thread or anything. I'm assuming he's busy with personal stuff; just give it some time and eventually updates will happen.

I just lost 1 pp by beating my best score on a map. My accuracy went down, so maybe it's that. If it is, then scoring needs to be looked at. One or the other of pp and scoring needs to be fixed so that this situation doesn't happen.

It's already been determined that score alone is not an accurate measure of performance and that your best score may not mean your best performance.

However, I believe that fixing that issue would require either a scoreboard wipe (of over 6 years of scores, since I'm pretty sure the issue applies to all modes) or storing two scores on the server, which would drastically increase the space used.

It's a problem that we may have no choice but to deal with.

Funny thing that I've beaten my Utakata, Ai no Mahoroba [LV.28] S (95,3%, 800k pts) with an A (94,92%, 821k) and it went from 230pp worth to 237pp. I believe acc has nothing to do with it, it's just weighted by score.

IIRC Tom said acc DOES have to do with it, but it's far more negligible than actual score.

You still got a crap ton of pp for a halftime mod o_o

261 pp for a Zirkfied HT clear on extra!

So we got HT giving almost full pp, EZ giving full pp, and NF giving the least only ._.

EDIT: I did some looking around, and I guess all those clears with EZ or HT are the result of I'd say a 1/3 deduction. 1/3 doesn't seem like enough even. Any player can mash the hardest part of a song with EZ, even the best if they want! I think the pp for Easy mods should be reduced by 2/3-7/8, but that's just me.

Should review and change the number of stars (or difficulty) of maps because it is not very consistent to say ...
A 2 star beatmap can be much more difficult than other 2.5 or 3 star ...

This is why I thought we should have a MAT (Mania appreciation team) or something like that. A computer can't compute the difficulty of a mania map like it can for any other game mode difficulty since mania hasn't been around long on osu!. The minds of 20 players more or less if needed can come up with a better solution of difficulty rating. The only problem with starting a team like that is finding a group of well balanced people. I have a few on my mind who could possibly do something like this, but only a few and not knowing if they'd be willing at first.

"You" were not the one who thought of it, watch your wording. It was first brought up by Envi and me on page 7.

Considering how we can't even find BATs, a diff grading team might actually not be the best idea. Well for now atleast.

The reason I said "I" was because Tom brought up the topic again to me after a suggestion to peppy I gave weeks before the chat feud. (That was when the whole DT PP giving too much feud was happening.)

ACs' SR may very well be broken. You're also comparing an extreme 7K mania spec with a (extreme ?) 4K AC here...

I do, but don't you see the keycount greatly influences the SR of mania mapsets.
Some middle-hard converts which are about 2.5 apparently are higher rated than hard 4K charts, which is unfair.

Also download the map provided in the post I've linked; you will see what I'm talking about. I'm talking about a chart which has 510 1/4 patterns, 255 1/4 jackhammers, and what makes this 4K complete hell.

And Utakata still gives easily over 250 pp

NOTE: Not exactly sure whether I should report this problem in this thread or start a new one(haven't really been on the forums though I've been playing Osumania! for some time). I'm neither sure whether this problem has already been reported before and solved(haven't found a thread or somewhere on the internet about this problem....).
Also: This is my first post so please don't slaugther me for my inexperience and wrongdoings(as well as poor english)?


I have more or less a problem concerning Osumania! that are actually somewhat pretty irritating...
The problem is:
Slowed note falling speed, but higher note density.
The beatmap still properly follows the song in regards to when a note should be played, but the speed at which the notes falls are significantly slower than what it is supposed to be, and in the meanwhile the notes are far closer(which is why the beatmap still properly follows the song, but goes at a slower rate..).

I found that I could fix this problem on some maps by replaying a ranked map, that goes at the proper speed, which will in turn fix the wrong speed for me.
The problem is then that this does obviously not work for maps that are not ranked..(know that they are slower cuz my brother also have the beatmap and it goes significantly faster, though with the notes spread out some more...)

you need to adjust speed through F3 or F4 in-game or ctrl + or - before starting the song. It's no bug, it's intended. :)

Oh is that so..
Never knew about.....


Looking it up again...
So it's the osumania note falling speed, that any1 can change in order to find what fits them the most?
It feels a bit strange as slower note falling speed makes songs so much easier to play compared to faster... but maybe it may be just because I'm still a novice Osumania player...

When you progress into harder songs it's actually easier to play at higher speeds as long as you can follow the notes since patterns gets more complex and density of notes gets tighter. :)

and yes anyone can change it as they see fit. ;)

I think there is a pretty bad problem in the formula. I mean... it takes into account the length of the song, so long songs give lots of pp even if they aren't that hard. And if I got it right it doesn't care about the avg./peak density of the song. I don't think it would be overwhelmingly difficult to improve this.

Actually long maps aren't necessarily giving heaps of pp; currently some of the more overrated maps, such as Koi Yomi Zakura, Utakata Ai no Mahoroba, Atropos, Poppin Shower are only around 2 minutes, and give more than they honestly should, while some long songs definitely are underrated such as fortissimo and workaholic. Larger problems are that low level 7k gives a hell of a lot less than low level 4k, vice versa for higher levels, and songs with heavy LN being underrated compared to songs with heaps of chords.

I actually hate the rankingsystem we got. It shows like 0% improvment. The rankingsystem feels atm like = get a decent rank on a popular song for much PP.
But i dont want to play the popular maps only just to improve my ranking beside there arent even many maps that give you a bunch of PP for a decent rank.

I did climb about 9k places on different maps together today and i've earned about 20 PP for these 9k places.
Play Waterhorizon get Rank 2k and gain 329804723874 PP

I mean guys here is obviously something wrong....

Map popularity and score rank achieved aren't factors in the current pp system anymore (they were factors in ppv1 only).

After checking out Logger Pro to try and find a correlation between score/1million and PP awarded (for Aiae SHD) I couldn't find an equation, although it appears to be some sort of exponential with a y-intercept of 500,000 and an exponent of less than one.

Lol I personally would love it if the scores could automatically include how many performance points are awarded for a ranked score. It would likely give people a good indicator/inclination to play maps at or slightly above their level.

The accuracy percentage also influences the pp gained a bit, but the influence of it is decreased when the star difficulty of the map increases (so, at some point, the influence of it is so small score is the only things that matters).

I'm sort of new to mania (been playing for 40 some days, have about 2000 pp) and this is my first post, but I really quickly noticed that the ranking system for mania needed to be changed somehow. The thing that bugged me the most is that 4k-8k are weighted the same, but 4k is much easier, so in my case like many others, all of my top scores for pp are from 4k songs. I could do really good in my standards on a 7k song, but not get any pp for it because I did a little better on the 4k songs, even though they are easier. For auto-converts, most of them get low difficulty ratings anyways, and you can easily get more pp from mania charts than you could from auto-converts. IMO, I wouldn't take auto-converts out from giving you pp, because if you're good at mania, you will get more pp from the mania songs anyways. That's just my opinion though, and I don't really know how far you can go, farming standard songs. If there were more ranked mania charts than there are currently available though, I would probably be more for disabling pp for auto-converts. There are also some songs that are considered way too high in difficulty (i.e. Utakata) that give you way too many pp.

4K is not necessarily easier than 7K except on an extremely high-level of play because 7K can be more dense than 4K, but for most players 4K focuses on speed, density and stamina whereas 7 and 8K is more about reading difficult patterns. However 4K gives way too much pp for low and mid-level play and not enough for high-level play. Higher key amounts suffer the opposite problem. That's why many players around 0 to 3000~ pp have a 4K song as their top perf whereas the other top players usually have 7K charts as top perfs. (Well there is AiAe but it IS underrated)

4K will feel overrated if your speed is better than your reading
7K will feel overrated if your reading is better than your speed

Just like in standard, everyone complains that whatever they're good at is overrated. People who can stream fast say that stream maps give too much pp, people who can aim well say jump maps give too much etc..

I meant it as SR underrate 4K too much in comparison to 7 and 8K. I'm confident in saying that AiAe is equal if not harder than, say, IN2K6.

I have a quick question about ranking criteria. What are the limits as to the upper end of difficulty for osu!mania maps? I know it’s very difficult to mod properly, but is there a certain star rating that isn’t even rankable even the map is well mapped to a song that fits the genre necessary to create a crazy challenging beatmap?


It would be super cool to see people get over a thousand performance points for a truly difficult song, like Act 2 Liberation 5k CC

It depends on how it is considered overmapped or not, if you manage to map something that is really hard that is well mapped and still not called 'overmapped', then you're good to go.

sadly this does not hold true for standard

The problem we've been having is that most mappers capable of mapping that difficulty properly don't bother making something rankable.

There's not very many songs that can allow for something crazy to map (at least in mania). They do exist though, but good luck finding them lol

pretty sure a lot of BMS stuff technically allows crazy stuff to be mapped, even without looking at how original charts are done. Some "epic musics" (heavy orchestral stuff, such as two steps from hell tracks) can make pretty damn awesome LN charts as well.

Yes, and I'm all for in people to go for it.
If I can get to that point, I'd like to be able to do such, as I love intense orchestral music.

It's hard to find songs of the right genre, but seriously, I'm pretty sure even the Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack has potential SHD material.

I have a new idea for this
Instead of score, make it maximum possible score
I know mania pp is not really about accuracy, but about score
However, difficulty reducing mods and lessK mods, do not only give less pp, due to them being these kinds of mod, but as they lower score, also give less pp in Score part
So, instead of it calculating with score/1.000.000, make it score/maximum possible score, for example score/390.000 (EZ+4K for example)
These mods give less pp in 2 ways, but IMO it should only be one

Kinda sad that Mania scoring is still broken :(
I imporved one of my 4K maps from 99,8% acc to 100% and got 3 pp.
Then i improved a much harder map from ~60% to 80% and got -1 pp.
Lol
