What was the PPv1 Ranking System?

In this video I talk about the history of and what we know about the ranking system that is now called ppv1. Sorry about the audio being weird I was working on this for a few days and I'm just tired now.

the fun part is that Tom was banned at the time (for cheating his way into #1 global, funnily enough). so peppy was adamant on saying that the TP system (which was a separate program at the time that you had to download) was a virus/scam and that you should not trust Tom in any way. Once Tom hosted it in a website and it proved to be much more popular than peppy's system, he got in contact with Tom and unbanned him so he could be part of the osu! staff

Smart move peppy.

[@deadbaby9292]

Lol

[@MasterAnimit]

Willy also didn't mention that Peppy himself was trying to create a new, independent system in late 2013.
However, when he stumbled that his attempt was almost impossible to balance, he swallowed his pride and contacted Tom.

my least favourite aspect of ppv1 was losing pp. you could play a new map on an easy diff and magically lose pp, but my memory of something from so long ago is really bad. I just remember the system heavily discouraging you from submitting scores that didn't add pp. Also a lot of people found an easy way to farm pp by playing maps nobody played, or just new maps

[@01suku77]

Tokaku :D

[@May-zg8fs]

Im pretty sure playing low diff maps still decays you.

[@purrplaysLE]

May Yeah, but you would lose *pp* and not ranks.

I like when Willy likes a comment so it looks like he's angry at it

[@tatin1959]

so you're telling me that there was a time where tv sized jump map plays are actually praised because of their low score but big difficulty spike?

the reason every old player is so consistent ig

for the new players, back then the max amount of stars was 5 so it was impossible to decide how hard it was based on star difficulty alone

I knew someone who was rank 500 in ppv1 and when ppv2 came, they went down to like 10k, while i went from 6k to 8k I think
