Don't get too excited about changing ranking system. It will likely take a while and I have other immediate focuses. Depending on demand, sort by rank *may* return in the meanwhile.

Any info we can have about the future ranking system?

I think it should return since even when it wasn't really a perfect tool for knowing how good a player was, it was somehow accurate (high ranked people got to be somewhat good at least, and people ranked under 10k is usually not good for example)

I disagree with this statement, holding that I can FC most of my expert songs and are ranked well below 10k. Why? Maybe only because I have ~300 maps, many of which I rarely touch. The idea that Rank determines skill is probably the most ANNOYING assumption made by players.

It's as accurate as a bullet in the dark.

I do, however, agree with spoilers.

P.S. no offense to the top ranks, you guys are gods. I meant in the general sense

one thing i want to ask about the editor change:

in the last version if i add a timing section it's default inherited, but now every time i add a new timing section it seems i need to change it to inherited manually.

and if i click "inherited points", it will just show the first inherited point and just add a new point 100ms after it, need to click "use current time" and find it yourself... reminds me of an old version orz.

maybe do something with it? i'm really glad to see the hitsound volume thing in the editor, but it's harder to make plenty of green lines and make them work for you now.

ctrl+shift+p works fine.

there's not so many multi-BPM songs, but there are lots or maps with many inherited timing sections, and this should be taken into account. also plz, i don't think there are more than 100 maps have more red lines than green lines. so the default behavior should be adding an inherirted section?



anyway... i don't want to waste hundreds or even thousands of clicks because of this small thing.

I really feel like writing an essay or something defending the original ranking system, but for now just a few words since I'm seriously disheartened by the number of people cheering for the old system to be done away with:

Argument 1: The old system forces us to play songs we don't like to get ahead.

Point: Do you really think it's fair to be able to get the top spot ignoring maps you hate? What about the monthly charts? Aren't those only according to someone's taste?

Argument 2: It's meaningless because you can just play easy maps that have more points to pull ahead of more experienced players.

-Is the time investment in this game really worth nothing to you? Most good multiplayer scoring systems both offer ways for super skilled players to jump up quickly AND methods of "grinding" to crawl your way to the top in a slow but steady way. Why shouldn't a player be rewarded with a higher rank for having played a LOT more maps, or having been with the game longer, investing YEARS into their rank. Is it really fair to (us) to just decide one day, ya know, rank isn't accurate, let's just do away with it and find a more creative way to rank the players.

This is just to counter-argue some of the points brought up on this thread, I could write more about why I really agree with the current system for ranking and why it is a very good system, but I'll save that for another day.

Hardly. I exclusively use ctrl+shift+P because typing in millisecond values makes no sense to me. If anything, the fixed bulk adjustment stuff should SAVE clicks.

Actually, slanted circle was a old one. I prefer old one, but new design isn't bad.

變LAG了

18:02 <ppy> !faq lag
18:02 <BanchoBot> Lag is a very general term, which can be used to describe just about
                  anything going wrong with anything.
18:02 <BanchoBot> If you are going to complain about lag, please be specific in
                  exactly WHERE the lag occurs, and WHAT it involves (internet lag?
                  graphical freezes? slow framerate? input lag? brain lag?)
18:02 <BanchoBot> Also mention when the "lag" occurs, if there are any special
                  conditions for it to occur, and if you have any idea what caused it.
                  Also make sure to check nothing else is running on your PC which
                  could affect CPU/memory/disk usage.

Nice patch up and new features... Only one problem I've found is that when osu is looking for a song and there is some error with the map it just fubars itself and I have to restart osu. Before there would be no issue and I could play any map regardless of an audio error.

What is GC?

I am experiencing 1s freeze during game play since the new update (especially during a break).

I ran the Osu! update, and i updated Osu! then it give me an error and wont start Osu! i run an shortcut for Osu! but it just ran the Update and not Osu! it still gives me a error. i even went in the Osu! folder and renamed "Osu!.exe. zip new" to "Osu!.exe" but it just started the Updater again, and is giving me a error. Lastly yes i am connected to the internet very well. do i need to uninstall Osu! then install in all over again? :/

Choose a skin.
