Sorry if this has already been requested. I haven't been active with the forum at all (actually, this may be my first post ^^) so I wouldn't have seen it. I did search though and went through the first ~5 pages or so of results.

I would like a feature that would allow you to filter all of the beatmaps that your friends have a score on. The maps that show up would depend on which game mode you are currently in (mode-specific?).

Right now, it's hard to compete with friends when you are not online in a lobby with each other. With this, you can work to beat your friends scores and they can work to beat yours. It would defiantly add to the "social" aspect of Osu.

The "Friend Ranking" is already available (supporter only) and the ability to filter the beatmap list (by played and unplayed) is already available (also supporter only?), so this could be a great addition to the current feature.

==========

If the way I described it doesn't make sense, then I can try to clarify it.

I agree with this, would be very useful so I can beat agsking in all the songs he plays. ;)

You could go to their profile and check their recent history?

But peppy, this will only show their recent plays...
Filtering the list by "played by friends" could be added as a supporter only feature due to the server load it causes, though. (if it doesn't, please explain me how, because I have no clue)

I don't think it would really have an impact on the server side, as the ability to view your friends scores on maps is already implemented. I think that almost all (if not all) of this addition would be client side.

I agree that this sounds like it would work as a supporter feature.

Recent plays on the profile only show notable entries, so it wouldn't work for the purpose that agsking is after. He's after more of a filtering system like Date and Last Played so that you can sort it along with the another filter to narrow down songs to play.

I agree that this will not only make the game feel more social, but it will also help remind people of songs that they may not have played for a long time and want to revisit.

When I posted that, I did a check of how useful this would be. For me (I dont't have more than 50-60 friends) it matched 90% of all ranked maps. I honestly don't think it would be worthwhile for most users. Looking at a user's top scores in their profile is likely more useful.

I did think it would be cool to filter by a single user, though. Maybe this could be considered further.

... And from implementing "Played by user" filters to implementing "Played by friends", it's not that large of a leap...

As far as I know, the game doesn't cache Friend Rankings, so it would have to download every map's Friend Rankings and show only the maps that gave hits.

Well, either way, it's something for peppy to decide.
