The biggest update for this week is about upcoming changes to our leaderboard system.
#STEPMANIA VOCALOID SERIES#
Welcome to another Songs of the Week Release for September! For veterans, they may recognize one of the songs as being part of the 5-part “Identity” series from SHK. Velocity (no longer D7) Songs of the Week and Weekly Update The changes going into effect are effectively the option as presented in the tool.Īlso there’s a thread for discussing these changes found here. This tool shows the Top 500 players on the leaderboards and depending on the page selected, the song weight curve will be displayed at the top, with the division boundaries below that, and finally followed by the leaderboard as affected by the ranking option.Īt the top of the page there is a multitude on different options based on the following groups: Visualizing Changesĭuring the development of these changes as both a means to test alternative song weights and amount of songs in a more timely manner, and also present the effects of these changes to staff during a recent meeting, the following tool was created. This token will be for achieving a AAA on a song with a difficulty of 102+. In regards to a recently released song, Heartbreak Furry Fandom will be moving from a public file into a new token and have a song difficulty of 0. Furthermore, these AAA tokens can now also be unlocked retroactively by having met the AAA requirements and visiting your levelranks.Įven though there have been some drastic changes to the division boundaries, the lower bounds of these will not be changing and will act more of a difficulty milestone as opposed to a division milestone. Going forward, in the event of a new score meeting the conditions to unlock multiple of these tokens, all of the tokens will be granted at once. This will bring it in line with OWA Raged at Home Run Derby as that currently is provided for any AAA on a 95+ song. Scarhands will now just have a lower bound, awarding the tokens for any AAA above that difficulty. Tokens that once relied on getting a AAA within a certain range such as the OTAKU SPEEDVIDEs and St. In regards to Season, Seasons use a different set of boundaries and those will not be changing at this time, nor will that include D9 as it doesn’t seem realistically achievable currently. While this division will be exceedingly small and with the changes going forward no current players qualify, this acts as the final milestone that players can strive to achieve. This should hopefully decrease the time it takes to pass through the lower divisions while not affecting the upper divisions as much.Īlong with the changes, we will also be including the Mythical division D9 for the first time with a skill rating cutoff of 108. Each division will always result in a skill range that is smaller than the previous division, as shown below.
In addition to the skill rating curve changes, there are also changes to the division boundaries that will smooth out the increments between lower divisions. This should also lessen the effects of overrated / underrated songs on a players overall skill rating. The long term goal is to reward players who excel in a more general skill set instead of just a hyper focus on a handful of songs. Overall this will result in a drop in Skill Rating for basically all players as your best score no longer counts 24% of your skill rating but just 3%. The global leaderboards will be switching to the same Top 50 system Seasonal leaderboards have used since the beginning.
With the introduction of seasons nearly a year ago, we experimented with basing the skill rating for those players using their Top 50 scores on a more even curve, thus requiring more scores and a better balance in how players are ranked against each other. Top 15 -> Top 50įor a few years FFR has used a system where the Skill Rating of a player was based on a weighted curve of their Top 15 scores, with the majority (76%) of the rating coming from just your 5 best scores. Hello everyone, today I’m going to talk about upcoming changes beginning at the start of Season 5 (October 1st, 2022) to the global leaderboards, division boundaries, and skill rating in general, along with a new difficulty AAA token for a recently released song.
