Osu should include double XP weekend where you gain 200% xp

Also random PP events that activate weekly and include increased pp gain (ranging from 1.25x to 2x) for duration of 15-25min. If you consistently gain enough PP then there should be combo event like in PSO2 (the reward could be custom animated avatar border)

pp is supposed to measure your skill. If you get bonus pp certain days, is that really measuring your skill?

sounds like an excuse to get a higher number and feel good about that

The same also goes for "xp". There actually is no xp in this game, your level is based on the total score you have, aka how much and how well you play.

Also, last time I checked osu! wasn't an MMORPG.

Dear maezqu,

I don't understand why do you need to have the double amount of XP? The only thing I know about is just to level up, nothing special.

---

As for the Performance Point, that's a big no. Let's talk about osu! Say someone just pass a more challenging map with full combo and gained that amount of PP. Then, that event happened and some players would try getting a full combo from a slighty less difficult map from the first one and gained almost the same amount of PP as the above, or even more.

Just like abraker said, Performance Point is based on your skill, how good are your performance during the gameplay. It's not something that you can get reward just like the combo event in PSO2, that is an RPG game. osu! is a rhythm game.

---

In a nutshell:
- Why do you need to have double XP?
- Having random PP event is chaos.
- Don't mix with RPG game with a Rhythm game.

I strongly agree with the OP, I think double PP weekends would be a great way to spice up the meta! Supporting this feature request.

Double pp weekends looks like half pp weekdays to me

A cup half full is also half empty
