Rip raw scoring

Re: New Tier Point List Thread

Yeah I'm feeling that I'm having some problems with certain songs on the list too.
Is it maybe tied in with how if you don't get a best score update that it doesn't update the Tier Point list?



edit: I apparently never passed J'ai envie de plaisir or Extratone Pirates...

Re: New Tier Point List Thread

The problem with the list is that it relates to your best score on the your level ranks, not your best raw score, which means for example a score of 24-2-0-5 on CCCP is better than 6-1-1-3 because you missed, FFR won't record it because it's not a full combo and doesn't beat your old score on the level ranks. This in turn makes the whole new system pointless in terms of using raw score, as combo scoring is still the key decider whether or not your score will improve your tier points

A way for this to be fixed would be to somehow make it where ffr not only records your best score for combos (the way level ranks are right now), but your best raw score as well, which the tier point system would use to determine your current tier points. I don't know how much work this would take but it would be more effective than what it is right now.

Alternatively everyone could just learn to full combo everything

Re: New Tier Point List Thread

well we do have levelstats_raw.php that they can fetch raw score stats from but we don't have a levelrank_raw.php to record raw scores to our account.

Re: New Tier Point List Thread

It's probably in the plans at this point and is only a matter of time (I hope so). Admins are probably waiting the right time before moving to raw scoring. If not, then it's purely ideological. The last time I asked about this (in late 2012), the reason was because of the "amount of data it would require to make that change". Now that the new server is operational, we can focus our efforts to develop new features.

We could introduce raw scoring and keep combo scoring for many reasons. Why have only one scoring method ?

One more nice thing : all engines display both scoring types. I'm no expert, but I believe that we wouldn't have to touch any engines if we're introducing raw scoring along combo scoring.

Re: New Tier Point List Thread

Just wanna say something that ive figured out.
Idk if its the tier point system or not tp related at all, but its saying i havent passed songs when i HAVE, more than once?
For example, for ultraplayers, a quick death...

And when i go to levelranks, it says i havent passed them either. I play and pass AQD all the time.

Edit: Proof

Ive also passed it way more times,

Do you think I'm some sort of magician or something.

The score in your levelranks is (obviously) your best score with combo scoring. Since you quit out early in your best playthrough, you would have to pass AND beat the current score in your levelranks. I had the same issue awhile back with Strawberry Sweetz.
