I think the pp system is just fine but I agree with reedkatt that longer consistency-based maps should be buffed. My only problem with speed is that you’ll only be able to learn it when you’re already pretty decent at aim and trying to grind speed could be pretty demotivating; since with aim, you’ve been practicing it basically from the start.

@Pulzanicus pulzanic doesnt work cuz the most broken stand out and the avg is higher and so things that were crazy before will then be shit, also just removes all the work that someone like mrekk has done to get so many 1k pp plays

[@meow2841]

@Pulzanicus pulzanic at that point peppy might aswell just come out and say “We are multiplying everyones pp by 3” which wouldnt make any changes to ranks

[@wozu__]

As a DT player who has a way easier time playing tapping maps than aim maps, my personal experience with the rework has been pretty positive! A lot of the bursty/streamy DT maps in the mid to high 5 digit range feel really good as of now, but aim does feel a little undervalued, which has led to some of my favorite aim plays being worth significantly less than some random comfy burst maps. The rework currently in development looks promising (at least for my side of things) as it fixes both aim being undervalued and simple triple spam maps getting nerfed to a more reasonable spot!

[@puffonxe]

as a speed player who can't aim: YEAHHHHHHHH

[@MiningPie_]

one of the biggest problems with how the pp system currently works (and why long maps feel both overweighted and underweighted) is how the "length bonus" works. (note: this is a pretty big simplification) in the current system, the difficulty of the 18 seconds of the map that is the most difficult is calculated, and then is multiplied by a "length bonus" that is based on the object count. however, that length bonus ONLY cares about the number of objects, NOT the difficulty of those objects. this means that any change in difficulty outside the most difficult 18 seconds of the map has an essentially negligible change to the amount of pp a map gives. in a very extreme example, aetrna's dt fc on the practice diff of sidetracked day, [the hardest stream] would currently give about 1.2k pp if ranked. but if you add 1000 notes of 0* star difficulty to the end of the map, that amount increases to 1.6k pp. that is ridiculous. in what system does it make sense that adding 0* difficulty to a map increases the amount of pp a map gives by FOUR HUNDRED pp??? this is obviously an extreme example, but it shows that the length bonus is completely broken and absolutely needs to be reworked. currently there are reworks that are being developed to attempt to fix this problem to make it so length bonus is based on the difficulty of the objects outside the most difficult section of the map, not object count. i would be very interested in seeing you interview the people who are currently developing the next pp reworks, as i feel like many people have no clue what is actually going on to make these pp reworks happen. there is a discord link to the pp development server in the bio of the @pp_committee twitter account where you should be able to get in contact with some people who are currently working on improving the pp system.

[@gurbzy5078]

I honestly don't think speed should get nerfed hard or anything cause some of the speed 1ks really do deserve to be 1k but some aim/consistency maps are stupidly underweighted. Game would be better with combo scaling removal so idk do something peppy, coming from low 3 digit player

[@kurokun07]

gurbzy fr only speaking facts rn, add the high cs being so buffed that it can become meta and have potential to be a pp record and i fully agree with your take btw this is just my opinion where i will disagree on mrekk kimi no bouken being "overweighted" that map imo is underweighted, diff spike/consistency/300 bpm cross screen jumps literally a combination of very respected skillsets put into test in a very short but absurdly hard map( i also believe it should be buffed to 10 star making it the first 10 star fc)

I just farm burst DT maps thanks to the rework and I kinda hope it stays like that cause I’ve gotten a liking for speed type maps, I completely stopped with jump maps , was already terrible at them and now like the ones that were 7* are now down to 6.4-6.7* which is nothing unless I get 99 plus acc and even then it’s nowhere near what I’m getting for these streamy/burst maps

[@AutoSugaR_]

I do consistency jumps for the most part, but sometimes i find myself wishing i were better at speed since i can be lazy with my aim and just click fast. Maybe thats a thought that i should’ve payed more attention to regarding the speed meta

i think the meta is fine up until aim because i still think that was nerfed a bit too hard actually i agree with a lot of things said in this video also welcome back kachulu thanks for uploading i made mac and cheese yesterday

[@afilthy6digit839]

I became a speed player during the rework, but not because of the rework and I do feel like this is the most balanced meta I've seen, aim feels accurately balanced but still a bit too low but speed also doesn't feel overweighted (for me at least) but that's from the perspective of someone who's 25k and still improving consistently

[@swiishy727]

current rework is broken for speed, you can often see 4 digits/high 3 digits that literally only have DT and nothing else in their tops, usually 250-270bpm maps with a lot of bursts/short streams

[@swiishy727]

Also, this doesn't help at all the situation that new players only focus on going fast, it's even worst then before, new players will mainly go to learn high ar and high speed before being able to read normal stuff and do actually decent on them, ending up being one tricks

[@gdbluefirre6749]

reminds me of clone hero actually, the focus is fully on speed and speed alone there however the difference is that clone hero is so simplistic in nature that its normal to be speed and speed only, plus it is fucking impressive even as a top player to see.

[@swiishy727]

@@gdbluefirre6749 yeah, well i was talking mostly about the video Azer did back then, about how new players focus on just being able to play fast stuff / high stars even before being able to play basic stuff, the fundamentals, i think that with the current speed meta, it's making the situation even worst

[@Loxu69]

We call this meta a "speed meta" when it only really is a speed meta for the top top players. For the majority of the community we are in consistency meta, long consistency maps are pretty overweighted if you look in the like 5.7* range but kind of underrated if you look in the high CS, 6* range. You can see this in pishi's reign of fear where the 3,4 and 5 diff are all about the same PP. DT is massively overweighted in the 100-200pp range so the high 6 digit low 5 digit range, and that is especially bad because I don't think its good for new players to get caught in the trap of "DT is the only way I can get pp". To give an example, back when I was at that rank range my first 200 was Yours Is an Empty Hope, which is a 5 minute consistency map, then a couple of days later I get Crystal Fair (remix) HDDT like 3rd try and got 250, at the time it was hard for me to justify playing higher star NM maps to improve. This upcoming rework is going to be very minor, especially in the top of the game, farm and DT are buffed very slightly but I really don't hate where consistency is ATM, I think star rating could use some work but its still way better than it was.

I was fine with previous PP reworks, but idk why, I felt like the newest PP rework changed hit detection. Idk I feel like I miss more sometimes even though I’m pressing the key.

[@zenyros]

"speed" isn't what needs to get nerfed, none of the broken maps are actually true stamina speed they're simple rhythm finger control burst maps, those are what got super buffed by the xexxar rework. Xexxar overly buffed things like triple spam (why slowmotion is broken) instead of actual difficult finger control patterns (those got buffed too but deservedly, and if the finger control is more involving sliders it is just not getting buffed accurately). Raw speed has never been overweighted and still isn't, and the next rework fucking nukes it even more which is so dumb. The next rework is nerfing raw speed while not touching the broken burst farm, my trio cup gains from this rework but like all of my more raw speed scores get nerfed even if they're high acc, and if they're like 96 or lower I can forget about getting pp. Low acc is already not worth jack shit so I don't get what the new accuracy changes are doing. Yes it effectively nerfs hidamari but then also nerfs everything else undeservedly. The whole basing accuracy off "worst case scenario" is so dumb especially bc like what if u actually are getting ur 100s on the slow section and then acc the diff spikes? Basically, a system like this should not be implemented until osu can actually tell where you got your 100s and misses right after submitting a score. And if they want to implement doubletap detection that can easily be done with a UR based system where like if there's two separate lines on the opposite sides of the UR you can tell it's doubletapping. High acc consistency farm is what's really overweighted, you can literally get 600s from low 6* maps with hr and high acc, while it requires consistency that is like the only skill you need. Even nomod you can get 500s from shit like axe of judgement where half of the map is nothing and then there's a couple easy stream sections. I agree with the aim buff, aim was definitely overnerfed by xexxar but there needs to be an entire rework around aim control in general because that shit is so unbalanced, but the aim buff is the only thing I agree with. Like I don't care about losing pp if anything I'd love to but what makes me mad is the maps that are already farm get buffed and the maps that shouldn't get nerfed get nerfed??

a low 6 digit here, i tried playing mods for weeks on end just to try em and i could say HDDT scores on 5* just feels cheap as it doesn't really "feel" in my opinion a 5* (i mean they're just 4* maps i know) as for the effects of the rework? didn't know it happened until this video told me 😂 to be honest i would rather have some slight buff on longer maps with more dense patterns and tech/precision maps having more weight. its really weird how i see this seriously small CS with bonkers OD give small pp gains while tech had more things going on in the map and is considered hard for most of the community (if im not wrong) but had less weight but then again it doesn't matter when you feel fulfilled FCing something you've been meaning to wanting to FC so yeah edit: i swear i didnt echo reedkatt

[@zinwrathgames7205]

In short nerf maps under 2 mins, make consistency give consistent pp( the irony in this) and buff aims SLIGHTY! I do think aim was hit too hard, even writing that brings me flashbacks of the 1-2 apocalypse ring tone size times. To be fair current pp is a much better implementation than it's predecessor; and in the majority of the rank brackets you can still choose a skillset, develop it and progress through the rankings. However, Hearing Peppy bring out the absolute nightmare that is implementing into current osu without breaking everything else. I personally rather them just implementing this newish pp rework and work on the bigger ones in lazer.

[@hunterstalisman2615]

Aim speed should probably be nerfed while precision like ~cs>5.5 get buffed. However there should be some kind of multiplier based on length maybe something like

[@zluka7951]

popularity of skillset is also important tho. On example, even if speed would be "ideally" balanced, but very popular cause of players like Merami and others and all top plays and top players would be speed, everyone will anyway think that this is unbalanecd just because it's too much speed players, when "overweightness" of some skillset is not the single reason of it's popularity if players like Rafis (just example) weren't be so popular in the past, now we'd see much less aim nerfes just because less DT aim players would be now
