So what's the best way to rank up now?

So from what I gather it's basically about just getting into the top 40 and or using mods?
Seems reasonable.

it's top 500, but the higher you are, the better.Zetta wrote:

play popular songs (more plays) to gain even more pp!

Scoring well on hard and popular maps, getting as high up as you can, and if you're using difficulty increasing mods then you'll get a tid bit more pp for it.Zetta wrote:

Don't care about the rank and play for fun ? :>

Yep.
no because ranks > having fun
What if ranks=fun?
everything is funnier if you are good at it. a high rank suggests that you're good at the game.

I was about to come here and type this pretty much.
Also your avatar, we're now bros, k?
And question. Do approved maps give PP? Most of the maps I've been playing lately are approved because a lot of the current ranked ones are kinda shitty.
Nope we're just making fun of you getting agitated over something so trivial as scoring system in game ^_^.
Agitated ? By the scoring system ? Huh, I don't really care about it... It's just that seeing people asking questions that could be answered just by reading the wiki is... sad. =(
Just got 7 points for getting #2 on a super old map. On normal. pretty legit

Kinda sucks that map popularity affects the PP you get from plays on it, because map popularity is usually 90% linked to how much random japanese people (who are the majority of players) like the song and less to how good the map actually is, so getting a good score on maps like Charles445's Caravan Palace Dragons is worth less than a high rank on a random anime op from a popular anime like meduka

If this is true then these maps http://puu.sh/C8Jt would yield the most PP in the shortest ammount of time.
Except they're not even exceptionally good maps. They're OK but as you said there are plenty of others which are better.
I think in peppys efforts to get people to stop farming ranked maps for points he's created another type of farmable map, by farming the top 5 most popular maps every day.
Its not really stupid, as more contested maps have a bigger opposition for you to beat. Its not like a little bit less popular maps give you loads less PP, its more to prevent you to get #1s on newly released maps and gain loads of not really deserved PP as you're simply just the first to play it.
And as I mentioned, you still earn fair amounts of PP for hard but less popular maps in any case despite that they might not be as popular as whatever maps you pointed out.

How comes I have top 400-800 rank on nearly every single ranked/approved top difficulty from last 2 months but my PP says there's over 9000 players better than me? They just don't play the newest ranked maps and just play old maps with high play counts? That's the only explanation I can find.
Average scores on many maps < Good scores on several

There are loads of people with the same pp count that simply have other better statistics that put them above you.
I don't really get what you're hinting at. You get points per each good score above rank #500, more or less depending on how well you perform.

Haven't tested this yet, but from what I gather, you need to achieve records intermittently to get more pp out of them. For example, setting ten #40 records in the space of an hour will provide less pp than setting them in the span of a day. That is what I am guessing.
Thats not stated anywhere, and I haven't noticed it. You earn pp per map after all, so it should not at all be like that.KRZY wrote:

Your problem is that you are going about it all wrong. That is a terribly inefficient way of going about raising your pp. Two things to keep in mind:Aqo wrote:

1. The system does not care about scores higher than rank 500. Then again, few people do anyways so it all works out.The system mostly cares about your ranks that would make someone go, "Hey, he doesn't completely suck after all!"
2. Due to how the system works, you need to get a certain amount of really good ranks to get a high pp count. Getting a bunch of 400 to 500 ranks won't really do much.
I recommend SHing some Hards. At your skill level that should be an extremely easy task with some patience. Also,I would improve your top 500 scores that you have that don't have an impressive accuracy (especially the ones that you feel have a lot of weight). Simply improving an older rank's accuracy by a few percentage points can give you a noticeable pp boost.
EDIT: And good thing KRZY admitted to saying that he hadn't tested his theory yet, because nah, it doesn't work that way. Decent theory, but nah.
i dont like how your pp is dependant on how other people play. if you get a top 100 rank and you drop to rank 400, or even completely out of top 500 your pp will drop, but the map is still just as hard.
Yes, but you are not performing as well as many others if your score gets pushed way down - and that's what performance points are all about
This may explain why I get those sharp drops in pp, because some map score got dropped below rank 500.silmarilen wrote:

Well its still just how it is and in my opinion isn't more or less then just fair enough. You're not better then anybody else just because you played the map before they did.
Pretty much.
The best way to rank up is the same as it was in the past. Play well.

I like the pp system because I've gotten far to lazy to grind through all the ranked maps that exist.

I've seena HUGE increase in people going for rank #1 on normal/hard maps.
I used to have 5-6 and now I literally have one left (which will probably get taken after this post
) Does getting multiple rank #1's etc on the SAME song but on DIFFERENT difficulty give you PP or is it all lumped together in the same map as with ranked score?Each difficulty can contribute separately.
