Is there any way to hide/remove scores? Honestly, i got a new top rank that is even more broken than the old one from Still Alive, who'd have guessed that this is even possible? I dont want those PPs, i dont deseve them.


Its a 6.13 star map that plays like some 4 star map, i was able to FC it with ease. Could HR it too but id rather not...

Anyways, i theres some correlation with Still alive, high circle size and 1/4 closs screen jumps.

Most people are aware of maps like the giving extreme amounts of pp, it hasn't been fixed yet, and I doubt it will be any time soon.

After easy map giving tons of pp there are hard map giving nothing. I love ppv2.

I see nothing wrong with FL. It's a very difficult mod and totally worth the performance if you pull it off (and the points too)

As for HT, there's going to be a speed factor implemented for CtB pp so you might see that getting calculated much like it does with doubletime.

PLS yuki, FL on ar8+ needs to be boosted imo, there are less FL players now than like 4 years ago makes me sad. Also I think EZ+FL should be worth 1.00x at the least hue
- Rii -
imo
1. you people do realize yuki's reply about fl is just a sarcasm to the previous post right?
2. there are reasons why there are less fl player nowadays and that is not just because it gives less of this bullshit points
3. this bullshit points already have tons of proof that it is broken and even (much) worse than the previous one, at least for now
4. i don't think it would be that simple to fix all of those crap anytime soon, especially when tom seems pretty much busy with other stuffs as well
5. if you want this to get resolved quickly, try playing any maps you like and enjoy this game mode the way it is or go away/play other games... pretty much the best solution

Going to be honest and say there's probably not much more to discuss here until Tom comes back to work on CtB's pp system and rework it as we've covered almost everything that can be right now. So it's probably best to let it sit here instead of arguing until then.

Or just remove pp, that works too.
Yukiteru Amano
Agree.
alxnr
Sorry, couldn't resist that. I hope Tom gets back into this soon.

hi
Ddraigon
I don't really know about pp ranking system in CtB. But, different mode, different difficulty. Example, AR9HDDT is more difficult than AR9HDHR, and for some map with many jumps (and because that the pp's map is overhigh) I think it's a part of CtB difficulty. CtB difficulty not only HyperJumps, but Mod, AR, CS, rapid stream, weird pattern, etc are must be considered to pp's map, not just jumps. That's my opinion.

And for me, with pp ranking (although it's broken), It's motivated me to improve my skill. So, I disagree with no-pp system ranking.

But keep play and enjoy the game, the music, and the map.

uhhhhhh the change is slowly comming *.* (thats a screen of the changelog of the cutting edge version)

I play at least Hard difficulty and Hidden never turn off. Over the past few days received 2 PP. Where are my PP, developers?

P.S. Oh, and I lost about 200 places these days.
Zak
You are not entitled to pp because you play Hard diff's with Hidden. If it bothers you that much player harder maps.

Hard - is the minimum. Often Insane or something like that. I get into the top 50 on the highest difficulty. Let the map is not the most difficult in the game, but its better than I have been only 20-40 people. Do not people deserve some PP? It is illogical and unfair. In the good old days was only Ranked Score, fair and clear.

dude, values have changed in the past years, you were there in the begging..thats true but you just visited the game every few months, people were unhappy that score ranking was about time effort and strategysing about score farming, then ppv1 came and people found maps that fell out of the system because of the number of scores on a map, or people always having the exact same high rank because of 0-Spinner SS's and many more weird situations...
and people were and maybe are to some extend unhappy with how ppv2 works, but you shouldn't critize it, it only does the thing that the major part of the community wanted..giving a ranking were your skill is the most important value. in ppv2 you have to play a combination of high distance,high AR,High CS-Combination to get the most out of a map...and peppy made it even easier, now you can just look up how many pp someone got for a map..if the record you're looking for is not in the top100 Best perfomance of a player then it's below his lowest value...so if you really care about having a high rank then put the effort into getting those points, and if you don't want to..thats also fine, everyone just wants to enjoy this game in his/her own ways, but don't call bullshit on people who are actually putting an effort into pleasing their community members.

I understand, but this is the case - a person gets 1st place on the map and get, for example, 100 PP. And all the rest get nothing. But their score may be less likely to 5000-10000. Okay, insane with Hidden is simply because even if only for 5-10 PP give. I did not ask to get me in the top 3. Just want some return for the hours spent in the game.

This imbalance. I think that is wrong.
Granger
You want something in return? What do you gain from some number?
You gain a good map rank in return, isnt that good enough? And thats just a number. Again.

Honestly i never saw what people see in all those numbers, is it admiration from less good players they're after? But you can get that by FCing the newest ultrahard map much better than from some number.
Zak
You don't get pp by getting a high rank, most of the time a map I get rank 1 on doesn't give anything, and you want to know why? Because the map isn't hard enough to give anything, ppv1 based your pp on rank/accuracy, ppv2 takes map difficulty and counts miss count+combo.

So again, if you're not getting anything, you need to FC harder maps, you can't get pp forever by sticking to the same difficulty range, you do eventually have to move on to harder and harder maps.

thats a pretty ridiciolus assumption my friend...did you ever check how many pp everyone else is getting on a Scoreboard,
i bet you did not. because this is how most Scoreboards look like:




ohh wow how suprising, it seems that this beatmap has been difficult for most players in his Top 50 because their combo is decreasing and so is there pp that there getting out of it.

well lets look at the different outputs in comparesion now...
hmm Kenji did got 274pp out of a HR+HD on this map...does that seem fair? as far as im concerned, yes it very well deserves this high amount, playing this with both mods activated makes it signifficantly more difficult (atleast 1/3's harder) then the other used mod combinations.

up to the next one..

PM got 209pp for playing with Hidden, around 1pp more then all the other people who Hidden FC'ed it...is that fair? of course, beeing accurate is hard, it's not changing the overall difficulty too much, but still should be awarded, so this is also fine as im converned

next one...

so now the Nomod FC's starts with the same thing about accuracy i just explained on PM's case...so how about getting -25pp in comparison to the HD FC's
does that seem fair? now its getting a bit more complicated, Hidden is about perception so everyone has their own ideal of "how much harder is playing Hidden compared to nomod" but in a general sense everyone agrees that it adds to a difficulty of a map, so something like 10-30pp more for a Hidden Record is also fine...it takes effort to do such stuff.

and as we are going down the scoreboard ladder people are getting less and less pp even though they got such a close combo to a FC...is that fair?

now we have to take in mind that the meaning of PP is "PERFOMANCE Points" so that means that your skill has to be around the same "perfomance", you must be able to do something as difficult as the last "good perfomance".

so that was the whole scoreboard....if you really think that these values are incorrent, then pls tell Tom94 and give some advice on how it should be changed..

The Catch the Beat performance points are currently undergoing a re-calculation after an algorithm update. Please visit the changelog for further information.

I'm aware that things are still far from perfect. Most notably: Clutch timings including pixel jumps are still underrated while certain other patterns get weighted too much. I hope to address those issues in further updates. Please wait until the re-calculations finished for everybody until giving feedback. Even if you pp changes drastically your best performance list might not have been updated accordingly yet. ;)

Dunno if I'm actually that bad or not but i lost 11 thousand places with the algorithm change >___< so welp and 99% of my maps got reclassified in 1 star or 2 stars even if the title is difficult and would more likely need 4 stars or so how but thats just my opinion.

the recalculations aren't finished yet. People aswell as the pp-outputs of most maps probabbly have to be updated before assumptions on the calculations would be viable

Just trying to undertand why increase pp bonus on low AR in CTB, higher AR really makes this mode more difficulty and low AR also isn't that hard to read (actually, is easier to read).
Minhtam
So are these PP scores going to be adjusted appropriately on my profile? It would really suck if they remained as they were before the update.

Lay
So...I love the sounds of this update. However...as above With Girgias, I went from 3.9k to 11.2 and lost almost half my pp...will it be staying like that or is this only due to the recalculation phase and I can expect it to change again?

Im not panicking, nope...i am panicking dammit il just close my eyes and everything will be guud right?

Personally i think its good they changed ctb ranking, coz really.. some songs are just too easy and give too much pp. Tho changing the stars is kinda umm not necessary.. now playing a 3 star map feels like meh (before it would be bout 6, and would feel like woah 6 stars im getting better), but it's just my opinion ^^

They will adjust.


To all the others: Calm down. Wait until the recalculations are done before panicking about your rank changing. Other people will lose similar amounts of pp so your rank will normalize again.
-Ryuujii-
It seems people don't understand what "waiting for the changes to be all done" means, can't you understand the rank you have now is not your final result/Final rank, wait some more days and stop complaining about you dropping 10k places or whatever and just wait and play the game.

some suggestion : 1st rank should be weighted more than other ranks (at least a bit) ,so pp can decrease too

Luckily waiting a few more hours is enough. :p
Since CtB has less scores than standard it's a lot quicker.

So actually is it worth to redo easy maps with a SS then a normal S ? or will it just degrade my placement like before the changes ?

Kingkevin30

Tom94 wrote:

ok im just gonna give you some of my thoughts ^^, right now it seems that the pp-output relys way to much on the star rating of a Diff
because most "difficult" rated non-FC's are giving pp values that shouldn't as high as they are now.the best example would probabbly be the TAG4 diffs and especially this one.

The next thing would be how CS is accounted in the difficulty calculations, before the update there were many older maps with higher CS, that combined with mod combinations like HR+HD+DT or HD+DT gave you pretty solid pp-values and now it seems their difficulty rating was significantly lowered compared to most "easier" AR9 Insane diffs which have gotten a huge boost in pp if they only incorparated "one hard part" in them.

Then there is also the Problem with EZ/HT because they are still valued a bit to high for my taste


But what i really appreciated in this formula are the bonuses for long Maps and Doubletime.

to sum it up for me, it seems that the Top-Tier values for hard stuff are pretty solid (with some exeptions like the TAG4 Stuff)
but the mid-ground has to get a bit more balanced to be accurate
DeletedUser_500696
I definitely appreciate how difficult non-fcs are higher up there in pp, and this system is somewhat more difficult to exploit. I personally really like it more than the last, I don't think pp will ever be perfect in ctb but this is a step in the right direction. DT has some bigger bonuses which is nice, but HR for non FC's or on difficult short maps could use a slight boost as there are some really great HR players like S a o r i that are still kind of high in rank imo. Will add more as I notice more stuff :)
[Superstar]_old
Yes this is better than the last but there are still hard maps which are really underrated.
SPOILER

Last two are really difficult and first 3 are 1 try FC maps
DT seems to have solid pp giving, thats quite nice.
And finally stream maps take into account and give reasonable pp, this is a good job!
RainbowDashiie
I like it that the pp system is not that exploitable anymore. ;)

But i really hate the changes effecting the pp from long or short maps first in my opinion its to mush pp for long and to less for short maps and even more imported for me is that these changes don't show in the star rating that i used to see if a beatmap will bring me pp or not. :(

sry for my bad English^^

Kazuya
Thx for update. Not relevant.

whats good is the new maps are not pp maps aka the high tier ones, the maps i can argue about is ---

https://osu.ppy.sh/b/456933?m=2 over 34 people did it, so its not quite hard and its free 477 pp which is way to high
https://osu.ppy.sh/b/371595?m=2 needs a nerf or everyone will HR it, or attempt to, by the time of this month it should have 8-10 HR scores
EDIT: ^ I think you should reduce the value on nomod to 270 and increase HR to 340-330
https://osu.ppy.sh/b/465454?m=2 it's long but it has no real hard parts at all
https://osu.ppy.sh/b/329800?m=2 this is hard but not as hard as the maps i posted above, it's very long and some places for error but no where near 533 pp
https://osu.ppy.sh/b/297463?m=2 yoiyami hanabi is harder than airman 2k14
https://osu.ppy.sh/b/264090?m=2 leaf FC should be way higher like 430 its pretty challenging

these maps should be weighed WAY higher for overall difficulty
https://osu.ppy.sh/b/118068?m=2
https://osu.ppy.sh/b/319661?m=2 ExtRa and Lan Extra 300 ish maybe 290
https://osu.ppy.sh/b/179070?m=2 neu plat should be atleast 330-340 FC
https://osu.ppy.sh/b/122693?m=2 should be 320-330

I feel as if DT also needs a lot of love because DT is VERY hard so maybe boost the value by ateast 8-10%

there is many maps i havent listed or i have listed, but overall way better than the old pp system because the farmers have been destoryed aka, you actually have to do HARD MAPS to get into top 20 I.E instead of TAG4 HR/HT, theres still maps like snow goose which is worth way to much but this is overall beta. Nice job tom94 keep it up

if anyone has any maps related to this post, please post your thoughts lets get this system working.

PS: I love how SS's matter now, 10% for SS's is a very nice tough for accuracy players, nice job

Not many to say, but this pp system is better and better since CtB mode is come to osu!. This is why I love peppy, Tom94, and The Team that keep osu! is better and better since the beggining.

I feel like the new ratings over value maps with a harsh difficulty spike but are otherwise easy.
My new top rank is one of these maps - the first few seconds are brutal but after that its easymode. Im certain i've FCed overall harder maps. I didnt expect that one to become my top rank, at all.

Also interresting: A large part of my new top ranks are 1x miss plays now, while i generally think it is good that FC doesnt matter as much anymore this gets me curious.

FC is generally a bit less important now, even though having a higher combo is still greatly rewarded.

Maps having single difficulty spikes and being overrated as a cause of these is something I also wanna look into since it seems to be something brought up quite frequently. This shouldn't be hard to adjust if some tests confirm it being problematic. :)

You don't understand how pp works if you think like that. I recommend reading the wiki article about pp:

Storm-: Thank you very much for compiling that list of maps and explanations about their difficulty. This is very much appreciated!


Everyone: I can't tell you when the next big ctb update in terms of stars / pp will come.

Sorry for my bad english.

What a titanic overhaul, comparable to the way rankings shifted when standard went from ppv1 to ppv2... Well, alright, not nearly as much as that, but still it's surprising that the old algorithm could have been THAT screwed in a fundamental level.

Tom, with the old algorithm , you could get much pp from easy 5-6 stars.
And someone said that you cant get pp when you are playing same difficulty maps.Then with the new algorithm ,that means that those who played easy 5-6 stars then must play 5-6 star maps(impossible maps) even with the new star ranking?

Na, it's just the fact that the average star count on maps has been reduced quite a bit. But you can still get lot's of pp with the good maps. Exemple: http://osu.ppy.sh/b/371595?m=2 (Overdose) was in the past past over 6 stars, I got 240 for that in the past. Now it's 5.62 or so but the same score gave me 329 pp. Maps 6 stars rated now are way harder then 6 stars in the past. So you don't need to play 6 stars maps now to get pp, you can get pp with a way lower star rating. Hope you understand what I rote.

I understand,but i want to get some pp and i want some ctb maps not for pros but chalenging ,can you help me?

I'd say maps are getting challenging at around 4.5 stars now, maybe a bit lower even.

Though to be honest, if you're playing them just for pp, you won't improve much, but if you play to improve your skill in general your rank will rise with it eventually.

DT seems pretty weird, maps seem to give either too much or not enough pp.

If you want pp, look at other people's profiles who are around your rank and play their top ranks.

6 stars should be really freaking hard to FC so i think its fine
