But the number of pp doesn't matter, because it's only a number
What matters is your rank, once recalculations are done you can compare your previous rank with your new one and see if you have lost anything or not

Thanks, Tom, for the clarification.

There really should be something telling people to ignore the raw pp amount when there are changes to the system (or at least make it display secondary on profiles) so that people don't focus on it so much.

@Tom94: Just curious, how will the new star system work? Will it have an open ceiling, or will it still just be limited to 5 stars?

Is combo/score a big factor in ppv2 if any at all?

Ok I would say I agree since I suck at streams but streams are rather critical for determining speed and accuracy/consistency.

On a side note, I lost pp but gained ranks XD, HD is now worth playing again.

i give up on ranking its like i gained pp like up 599 yesterday then today after 1 game i drop to 74k and 583 pp again wtf ig ive up on ranking just sigh...

i know there is people better than me buny but i got 599 pp yesterday like 9:30 and now at like 1:00pm it drops so thats recalculating huh like i raise it and i drop after a day it just doesnt seem fun anymore to rank so yeah. Thanks for the reply

Thats not a tragedy, you can get your ranks back.
Passing mad machine and getting nothing IS a tragedy.
passing mad machine is just so stupidly hard its much harder than a random FC on insanes which are actually not so hard.
I dont understand why we get no pp from top tier maps while farming insanes give tons of pp

Because just "passing" top tier maps is difficult to reliably evaluate performance..

On top of that mashing can let you pass those maps. Also, all those misses and combo breaks mean that not much aim was involved.

I didn't read all of the 46 pages because I'm lazy so maybe someone already asked this, if there will be a way to look at your own accuracy\speed\aim level like Osu!tp shows, expaple: http://puu.sh/7ezSR.png.

pp are called "performance points". They are rating your performance, not your skill. Those 2 things are very similar but not exactly the same. Let's look at a piano player for instance. Would you rate a perfect interpretation of an easier piece lower than a horrible play through some ridiculously hard piece? I wouldn't.

The first requirement for getting pp is delivering a decent performance. Map difficulty is also factored in and can make up for worse performances up to a certain degree, but barely passing won't get you anywhere. As a guideline, you should try to get below 10 misses and above 90% accuracy if you want your play to be rated well. A higher combo also does help. Of course if the map indeed is ridiculously hard, then you can get away even with a low accuracy, as long as you keep your misses low and your combo high. You can see the C in jesus1412's best performances for instance.

There might be such a display at some point.

Does accuracy have any influence on pp? Or is it just your score and the weight of said score depending on the map/mod combo?
mike6649
Is it possible to get docked 100pp every 3 weeks or so? Because that's happening right now to me.

I was 1,114pp just before the ppv2 performance charts became available, and after that i dropped to 1000pp, which i noticed while playing.

After gaining 100 back over a few weeks since then, my pp just now dropped by 100. AGAIN.

I can understand the fact that pp is constantly being recalculated, but I believe 100pp disappearing every single time it does so is simply absurd.

Can someone explain what factors contribute to a decrease in pp?
dennischan
I think that this is a serious bug, so if its convenient, can you please recheck mike's scores for him
like you did for the guys here? t/181850/start=165
Thanks Tom in advance, and sorry for bothering you.

Everytime you lost pp, the algorithm that calculates pp has changed. You haven't lost any pp, according to the new algorithm you just have the pp you have.

Are you an FL or HD player? Do you have any scores that excel in one category in particular (e.g., a SS in 7000 circles OD11 map for accuracy, FC a 360bpm 7000 circles stream map for speed , FC a 360bpm 7000 circles full screen squares AR11 map for aim)? If you're not, you "lost" pp because the recent adjustments were to give a fairer pp value to such plays. For more info on how exactly it happened, read the thread.

How about this X person is playing insane maps and he fc them but whit lower acc like around 94% acc lets say then Y person is doing hard and normals and even easy whit alot of mods gets a good acc around 98% and getting high ranks and they are at same rank. Shouldn't the Y person be lower rank since it takes much less skill than doing insanes?

That really depends on the maps. Some hard maps become harder than insanes with the right mods.

Any plan to put "Level" difficulty beside the map? easy to know which map is harder etc. Put ingame i mean because lazy to go to osutp website xD

I need someone to explain to me something about ppv2.

Why does This (#44), awards me no pp, and even makes my accuracy drop by 0.02%, while This makes me gain something like 1-2 pp, and doesn't make my accuracy drop.

I really don't understand.

Is there something wrong with me, or ? ...

And is it me or DT is totally overrated now ? Because i did some random DT scores, even with poor accuracy, and i gained a lot of pp, maybe like 10-15 by rank, when they were really bad.

Happens to me too. From my understanding, the performance evaluation may have been delayed. i.e, you played that first map, and before the PP was given to you after you played the second map, making it seem like the second map was the one that gave you the pp. The second didn't affect your accuracy because it was probably not a good enough performance to be put into consideration.

As for DT, maybe you're good at DT but some people (ME :cry: ) suck at DT. What's easy for you may not be easy for others. DT calculation is the exact same as nomod mapped at 1.5*speed. You can see that on the previous page, actually. It'd be a good idea to skim a few pages first, most questions have already been asked many times.
hehe

The second song, according to osu!tp calculator, is 17 levels higher. You performed reasonably well for it, so I guess it awarded you more pp.

idk how these two made it into WWW/my best performance list but i'm pretty sure they shoudn't be there, especially to be rated as my two best.

This remind me, I have a similar question about the rating of performances.
Assuming TP accuracy is based on accuracy%+miss+combo, I'll say beforehand these are all S+FC's.
Why is it that Lv70 (52|77) 99.27% > Lv67 (55|72) 99.43% > Lv76 (47|87) 99.74% o_o... Confuses the heck outta me.

There seems to be a bug in the difficulty calculations of those maps. I'll look into it. Suspecting it has to do with the fast repeat sliders.

My best plays so far are mostly without mods (except for 1 which is DT), and i believe they in fact do specialise in one category (mostly aim or speed). I checked and the 'drops' in pp were on Feb 9th and March 1st respectively, yet the Feb 9th changelog didn't mention 'nerfing' anything in particular, which is even more confusing. Unless there are some changes that were not logged.

Overall, the ppv2 system is pretty good, but there are some maps which seem to be much harder than it says on the tp database, like:
https://osu.ppy.sh/b/19990 and
https://osu.ppy.sh/b/270980.
Does the ppv2 database treat these maps as about the same difficulty as the tp maps (easier than it actually is), and if so, is there a way to fix it?

Clarification:
The first one has lots of jumps, but low slider speed which makes it very hard to aim.
The second one basically spams tons of notes.

These two are both harder than they are ranked, and I think that there may be others like this.

The bug has been fixed. It'll propagate to your pp tomorrow.

Performance: [Tom94] Increase the aim bonus of FlashLight slightly.
Performance: [Tom94] Increase pp-value of scores which excel in one category.

Can you elaborate on how this patch cause such a tremendous deduction in pp? I'm seeing what you are seeing.

Did you lose pp or you lost rank? Not the same thing.

Both. I lost pp, therefore I lost rank. And its not just a minor drop of pp, it was up to 10% of my total pp (1100 -> 1000)

I can't just make everyone's pp increase. I need to scale things down so the average of everyone stays the same. That means that you didn't profit much from the change and thus lost pp in the process of scaling everyone down. You probably have many scores which are about equal in each category and don't excel in one particular category. ;)
mike6649
Thanks for clearing that up, I was pretty pissed when I saw my pp was gone twice lol

Hi, I looked around for a little bit and I couldn't find answers.

So there is one map that while it was qualified, I played it and scored a 98% accuracy on it. And judging by the tp level on osutp (first one) it should've landed somewhere in my top scores. However, it was not calculated because it was qualified then. Now it is ranked but I did not get any points.
Do I have to beat that score for it to recalculate? I've already tried forcing a recalculation by beating other maps but to no avail.
silmarilen
qualified maps do give pp, if it didnt get into your top performance it means you didnt get enough pp from it.
