This happened to me in the old system and I put it down to people that were lower ranks than me moving up and therefore putting me down, I assumed this only updated after i'd played my first song. There also seems to be a bug on other gamemodes where peoples PP is going down after beating there personal best, I expect this will be patched soon if it's also affecting o!m.Thing O Doom wrote:
Sorry to bother, I'm a noob and don't really have a place in these discussions,
but recently since the new system came out, I've been playing harder maps (That I get a terrible score in).
I'll get like a B or C on a map, then come back to it later and beat my personal highscore on the map, then I visibly watch my ranking drop when the screen flash updates in the song stats screen. I know the system is unstable but I don't remember this being a thing in the old system, correct me if I'm wrong. This makes me not want to play online and improve w.w""
Ok, I think I can debunk this now, this morning I played a map and it shows my rank as ~7990, this was an unranked map so nothing was affected, this being just to make sure I didn't get overly surpassed while sleeping.Tom94 wrote:
Dropping your pp by beating your score is extremely unlikely in o!m. You'd need to get just barely more score with a lot worse accuracy for that to happen.
The rank drop most likely occured due to other people passing you, as it always has been already.
I then proceeded to play http://osu.ppy.sh/b/21334 (A pretty underplayed and easy map) for fun. The last time I played the map was awhile ago, and I got a low B on it, today I got a mid A on it with DT mod. After finishing the map I drop to 8006, where I currently am. There was not an accuracy decrease, I scored higher, and dropped rank, this is what I was talking about earlier. I don't care a gigantic amount about it, but I do use it as a sort of progress indicator. Cases like this are really confusing, and I'd like to know if this is intended behavior, so far though I do like the new system considerably better, I just don't remember this particular thing happening before.
If it's intended for me to drop in this manner I'll stop playing when inebriated or tired w.w""
