Yes the point of getting your map ranked is so that it yields pp. Doing good on a ranked map = your rank gets better. The primary reason there even is a ranking criteria is not to promote polished maps, but to ensure that people would not get ranking from "troll maps." It was much more important in the old pp system but its still valid now.Midge wrote:
I have some questions though. If it's gonna be this easy to get a leaderboard for your map, what would even be the point of going for real rank in your map? Is that not the point other than for it to be counted for pp? Or is this only applying to full-on, unrankable maps, and not tv-sizes or even fanzhen-esque maps, which are completely rankable?
Furthermore, I've skimmed through the thread, but I haven't read anything about a process. I'd like to see at least some idea for a structure.
Also, are IIDX maps allowed in this category? Those are unrankable, too.
That said, I really hope you refute what I've brought up, as this is a really good idea. I just want to make sure it's watertight.
Also there have been alot of ideas about the process. Most of them bad but i will give you mine.
1. Someone makes a map
2. A BN or a QAT plays it and notices that the map is playable, as in its compleatly mapped and has no empty difficulties, is timed atleast almost perfectly.
3. The map gets promoted (to checked??) and gets a learderboard and somekind of distinction for the download page.
Note that this can happen without a single mod made to the map.
and that optionally continues into
4. the map goes trough the ranking process
5. the map gets ranked
