Please excuse me if this has been suggest before. I took a look around but I couldn't find it.

I think it'd be nice to have a performance point listing for a map you've gained pp from. For example, let's say I played Freedom Dive, got 40th place, and gained 30 pp from it. If, over the next few weeks, more people play it, knock me down to 100th or so and I lose 20pp from that, I'd like to be able to know where I lost pp from. (This example could obviously apply to any map.)

So basically I think having a "pp gained" number somewhere on a beatmap (in-game) would be really helpful. I know that it may seem a little useless to those people who are really high ranked, since they're constantly just making attempts to gain pp anyway, but for the mid-range players I think it's nice to see where you lost pp from and perhaps try to get a better place in that song and maybe get some pp back from it.

I obviously have no idea how hard this would be from a coding standpoint, or how pp is calculated after you've gained it on a per-map basis. If your pp isn't being calculated per-map after you've gained the pp, then I guess this couldn't work :(

Anyway, I think it'd be useful if possible. Thanks!

I think this could work. I can't say 100% because Ephemeral always calls me out for not having developer knowledge. pp is more connected with the ranked listing rather than the clientside beatmap list, so it would be tricky to do this IMO. It would be nice, but until they develop a method of retrieving beatmap information from the forum without killing the servers it's probably not going to happen.

Yeah, I can't say I'm familiar at all with how the pp system takes scores from everything and connects them, but even some kind of pp-per-map system would be cool, even if it's on the website rather than the client. The main reason I suggested the client was because I thought it seemed most convenient, but now that I think about it it might not be, considering not everyone has every ranked map in their client. It'd probably have to be something that gets stored in your beatmap folder, which could easily be edited...

Now that I think about it, it sounds like putting them in the client wouldn't be possible, but having that information on the site somewhere might actually be.

Raw pp is gradually being phased out of the public view. This could still work if there was a listing somewhere of all the maps that are giving you pp, in order of least to most.

Yeah, I saw that the update today took our raw pp from the user page. I feel like being able to see your pp is really nice though, especially if you're trying to gain ranks. I think it would be silly to take it away (from public view) entirely, since even before pp you could still see where you ranked in comparison to other players with an actual number.

Anyway, derailing. It'd be cool if someone with developer know-how could stop in here! Even if this idea isn't accepted it'd be interesting to know if it would even be possible.
