I was just curious (sorry if this has already been answered) how is BPM factored into the PP calculation?

I've just noticed a very easy, high BPM song (in comparison to my other scores) has risen to my top performance (DT + Hard, A rank) rather than some of the more difficult insanes I've FCed. Maybe it's just an outlier, but I haven't seen this happen before.

umm.. what?

-46pp for getting #60 in a hard song? what.

can someone please explain to me how this shit even happens
p.s. that was my first play on the map

Are you not able to get PP for qualified maps? I know that you were able in the old system and weren't in TP. I seem to not be getting PP from maps that are qualified and not "ranked" yet. If the PP isn't going through the qualified maps will I get the PP for the score once the map becomes ranked?

With this kind of skill measurement, I'm afraid something needs to be done with the score multiplier as well.

Score multipliers (mods) became pointless ever since ppv2 started - this is because HR weighs bigger than FL and HD now. The thing is, will score ranking even matter now? Why not based the scoreboard with the highest pp earned instead? Or why not tweak the score multiplier of every mod to it's fitting value?

I saw this question some days ago, but don't remember it being answered.

Does the no-fail do anything to the pp you can gain? say you do 98% or something with nf, would there be any difference between the pp gained from that and a score without mod?

NoFail gives 10% less pp than without.

When these most recent pp changes (the one that weights scores that excel in one category higher) kicked in and many people went up like 500pp, my top ranks changed and seemed to reflect these changes. Two of my scores in particular that are really high in one category moved way up. The pp reverted, as well as my top ranks, and I've gained pp since then through scores so I can't tell if I gained any after the revert due to the change.

So, Tom, did you accidentally weigh these scores that excel in one category much higher than you had intended at first and then fixed the number? Or are calculations still going on behind the scene? I'm confused.

Before that change got reverted my best performances list looked way more accurate than how it was before/now. .-.

Yeah, I kinda felt like that too. It seemed like a nice balance between the tp system of 3 separate categories and the pp system of all-around scores.

I took a break for about 4-5 days and today I came back to play and updated my rank. My pp dropped from 1950 to 1859. Does anyone know why my pp dropped? I didn't know that was possible for pp to decay especially since I've only been inactive for a few days. If it was a re-weighting of the maps then I would understand but it seems that none of my friend's pp were affected. Does anyone know what's going on? Usually it's just my ranking that fluctuates but my pp remains untouched.

re-weighting probably

Why doesn't it make ppv2 into the same calculation method as tp?

Because pp of 3 section (aim, speed, acc) sum total of other musical scores is high although Legendre has the skill to take Acc99.76% of accuracy by HDHR of RedGoose [Another], the capability to take accuracy is not correctly reflected in ppv2ranking.

This is being able to say not only to him but to all the players.

I wish, ppv2 becomes the same calculation method as tp.
Because ppv2 of now cannot say it as the ranking which expresses the skill of a player correctly.

ppv2 is tp without the Rank 50 Limitation... and also Tom94 made it

ppv2 calculates PP which 3 sections (aim,speed,acc) of musical scores totaled in high order.

tp calculates PP after making 3 sections (aim,speed,acc) of a musical score into separately high order.

Therefore, although tp and ppv2 are alike, it is not completely the same.

Even if tp carries out rank in to the 10000th place and it will be reflected, a result differs from ppv2.

Today i beat my score on SENTIVE - Saigo ni Kimi ga Ita with HD. My rank increased from rank around 220 to 88. But at the same time I lost pp and therefore ranks.
Does anyone has an explanation for this?

your acc was probably worst in the HD play there for you get a new score but takes off your pp because its HD

Translation: Your second play, the one that was "better", was actually worse performance wise, so you lost points because you overwrote your other score.
If you'd take 5 minutes to look through this thread you'd figure it out yourself, this question shows up every 2 or 3 pages.

I don't think many people realise this. But if this isn't true, then the system/my top ranks/other people's top ranks won't make sense. So I'll just agree with this.

Apart from the fact, that in pp the 3 sections are not just totaled, this is true. The reason why it's not exactly like tp is, because I feel it's just as wrong to only look at single aspects of scores in isolation as it is to look at a totaled value only. Scores which demand skill in all 3 categories should also be rewarded.

Currently the pp a score is worth is computed by the following formula: (aim^X + speed^X + acc^X)^(1/X)
Where X at the moment is 1.1 and will likely rise a bit in the future.

Thank you for the answer, and I am sorry that I am poor at English.

I wanted to know why the calculation method was changed by ppv2 and tp.

If Tom thinks that player skill is exact by the calculation method, I will say nothing.
but, I think that the player which specialized in one skill is pitiful.
I wish, Increase more pp-value of scores which excel in one category.

What's happening about rank sorting? Rank for perfomance toplist and rank for user's page have very strange relation.

Profile / ingame rank always have been behind by some time. Don't worry, they will eventually catch up.

Well, I sort of like that whenever you play a hard enough map, even if you fail, if at the start you did a reeeeallly good move it gives you a bit of rank up.
And yeah, it's really balanced right now. Not passed anymore because of farmers for a while!

I'm a bit confused about how ranking works with single beatmaps; Generally, when I beat an old score of mine with a worse accuracy, I lose a little bit of pp. Okay, no big deal. But just now, I beat a map with better accuracy and a higher score and lost pp regardless.

Does it take more away if you miss more notes?

Yes, they heavily reduce the amount of aim points you'd get

So finally, if you have generally bad aim but pretty good speed&acc and you finally achieve a score that excels mostly in aim without much speed&acc , will the system treat that score's aim value separately and boost you even though the score overall in all categories isn't that high(maybe not even reaching top performance field)?
No, It will not become, if all categories are not high maps.

If you want to raise pp, The map only with one high category does not have a meaning.

Hey, I've been reading this thread to figure out why my rank keeps dropping when I beat old scores and songs, and I found the answer to that, but I've also been having another problem. Recently when I play new songs on hard or normal, and I fc it(without ever playing this map before) I'll lose a lot of ranks. Is it because I've been playing a lot of insane maps lately? I have no idea.

Also, I'm sorry if this question has been answered, I haven't been able to find the answer anywhere. :o

It's likely because more people gain ranks faster than you, thus you drop in ranks (to prove that your pp shouldn't change much, if at all)

You don't earn too many points from hards or normals so others probably were overtaking your scores. The ranks are generally unstable due to some people being far more active then others.

This is kinda funny but there is a weird bug with the graph (my cursor is at the lower arrow):
Keeby
yeah, are the graphs upsidedown or something? or am I reading it wrong. o-o

No, score doesn't even matter for ppv2.When you achieve a score on a map other players scores have no effect on your PP.

PPv2 updates everytime you set a score. What you are seeing is just other players passing you in pp during the time between scores.

This explains the 50% difference in my tp and pp rank then. Although tbh, I reckon maps which have a decent value in all sections is a lot easier than maps which excel in one area.
