preparing for pp in lazer 

One amendment to make: we're keeping the no-FC requirement for "S" grade (the video was using an incorrect table for this). Also, please give us your feedback, either on github: github.com/ppy/osu/discussions/25810 of forums: osu.ppy.sh/community/forums/topics/1858702?n=1

I love how high quality and straightforward these explanation videos are. they are entertaining and even for a noob like me I know what is changing and why really well.

4:45 as an aside to the early hit change; this is important mostly because the followcircle would never be able to track you if the sliderball hadn't appeared yet. if you hit the sliderhead and started following the slider path early, you'd completely miss the ball, and potentially sliderticks, because of your timing misread. lack of late hit leniency is even more annoying, and i'm very happy they've changed it in this release. huge thanks to the dev team for their work on it.

As a much newer player, I love playing Lazer. It just feels very comfortable and fun, the UI is fresh and clean, the newer "popping" hitsound tickles my brain in a way other hitsounds don't, it's easy to download maps online right from within the client, nothing else needed... I immediately felt something different when I switched to Lazer, but got used to it quickly. I feel like a lot of people will have trouble adjusting purely because it's just... not what they've gotten used to playing over several years with the game. But I hope this will at least satisfy people who are open to change and just looking for some quality of life adjustments and minor tweaks. It definitely won't satisfy the diehard oldbies who don't want change, but that's ok. Lazer feels like such a complete, super polished package that could make this game a lot more approachable to a whole new audience. Appreciate all the updates!!

We love ppy! Appreciate the hard work!

pp in lazer and gta 6 were the two things I thought would just remain a dream for me. Never have I been happier to be this wrong.

as a osu!taiko main player i can say that i am very HYPED for pp score submissions to finally release in Lazer, i've tried lazer to play taiko and i've been enjoying A LOT the argon skin (pro) for taiko. Enjoy the last moments of this year ppy and the dev team we love you all, you've been doing an amazing job, see you in lazer 2024

The slider changes look really good! The ability to change mod multipliers on the fly is super powerful, makes balancing the game proactively much much easier and I'm sure will help in the future.

Amazing slider changes, that's really gonna do a lot to improve I think

The update seems great and I can't stress enough how important it is for everyone watching this to actually go and play lazer for the next two weeks, to give feedback and help the developers in the implementation of the pp system ❤❤

Just found my tablet in a drawer and felt like popping circles for the first time in like two years. Saw the lazer build in the downloads and it made me excited about playing just as much as I was back when I was starting out. And, how should I put this... OH MY GOD! I just love the UI changes! You can customize the gameplay hud (pp counter finally), you can download maps directly from client, you can change tablet area right in client, new playing mods, and probably a lot more features yet to be discovered. Everything feels so modern, fresh and seamless! Thank you so much, such a great job! Can't wait to play all my maps again.

These slider changes are huge! Things like slider streams immediately feel much more playable on Lazer now, it used to feel like you either SS'd or missed the entire pattern with no in between, now the gameplay feels much more in line with stable.

Great work pepster, love your work

idc what anyone else says. no matter what my opinion is on future gameplay changes are, once ranked submission is live on lazer, i am doing my full import to make sure i have everything from stable converted over and i am never touching osu!stable (aside from maybe tourneys before they move over to lazer). the game has so many new amazing features that we used to have to use 3rd party applications for and now its just perfectly contained within the game. i love doing my skill pushing on lazer already so moving over all activity there is something that ive been waiting for for a while!!!

thank you for your hard work peppy and all of the staffs and developers

I didn't expect to see myself in the Online changes Great video, lazer is super fun

ITS HAPPENING GYZE

Very good changes, I expected the video to be done in terms of changes and then realised I was only in the middle. I dont think there needs to be an indicator for a FC, maybe only for perfect combo like previously in Stable. The ScoreV2 scoring is already very good at showing how close a score is to an FC (if you know the multipliers)

my favorite thing about lazer is that it gives players more options to play for fun. By that i mean that in stable, a lot of players get shoehorned into caring too much about pp because there isnt a lot of "for fun" mods or ways to play that are rewarding, but lazer reminds us that osu is a flexible game that you can play however you want (within the rules of course)

nice, i love these dev vlog, make me feel apreciated as a player, really hope to see more peoples on lazer so there's more lobby at my skill level in multiplayer

peppy looks genuinely excited for this and the end-of-year release. love to see it. that sliderhead leniency is definitely a game-changer in a good way. a bit of feedback on the "spectator mode" screen: i think it will look cleaner if this entire thing can somehow be condensed into a slightly bigger-than-usual notification card. and when you want to stop spectating, just move your mouse to the top-right corner and click 'Stop Spectating' on the reappearing card. and hopefully, the followcircle will finally be considered in SR calculation sometime in the future.

Looking forward to the next release. Amazing videos as always

I would love to see in-built practice difficulty creation or unranked 'start-from-XXX-combo-with-100/200-combo' mod to support FL players. Honestly FL is such a unique and deep mod, I really hope it won't be left by the wayside.

Thank you for making videos that explain all the changes. I've been playing osu! for 9 months but I've been spending most of my time on it for the last three months and I love it. I love the classic version but I also love Lazer! I don't know if this really helps you, but I was already feeling good about it 1 month ago x), and it's all getting better. I'm not the best player but I really feel that the gameplay is already finished. I like what Lazer brings to the table and the only thing that really made me stay with the classic version was the presence of pp (which rhymes with the enrichment of your Osu! profile etc...). However, if Lazer publishes scores, pp and manages rankings on the official site, there's nothing to keep me on the old version x)

Great changes! The logout thing could be a bit annoying for people using multiple devices (like a phone and their main PC) but otherwise this all seems great. I’m excited to see lazer finally in a ranked state :D

thank you for the short slider changes!

Just tried lazer again. wow, just wow. The game's performance is MINT! *I love the UI changes!* I haven't tried mania, but I'm so happy with what you've been doing! ! !

Been waiting for this

ty for this series

Very high quality video! Looking forward for pp in lazer!

This entire thing is very exciting, i can't believe the day will finally come Thank you to the osu!team for all the work

Awesome update as always!

thank you peppy and pishifat!

I've been playing on lazer for a few years so far and I'm all up for this update. Peppy lazer is amazing. Keep it up man.

amazing update as always 😊❤

the slider changes look really really good! thanks ppy and osu staff :)

Thanks for the advice on how to prepare for pp🙏

As someone who’s new to osu (since June of 2023) I’m happy with lazer a lot more than stable. It’s easier to learn and more aesthetically pleasing. I’m happy with it as long as note locking isn’t added :/

This update is a huge one! Looking forward to the next update!

Amazing video as always

SHOUTOUT MY MAN CURISOL 💯 CONGRATS ON MAKING IT INTO THE VIDEO

Peppy asleep in 727 #livingthelife

These slider leniency changes are a big improvement!

Excited to see what happens in these final weeks

Finally!!! I've waited for this

looking good. i’ll be cheering the devs on the next 2 weeks

Letsss gooo ty peppy

these are a whole new level of devlogs

Super excited !

thank you so much!!

I would love having the ability to chose to still show the ur bar even when we are hiding the hud

I havent played osu regularly since 5 years ago, but Im really impressed with the progress done in lazer! I might try to get back in

Can't wait for more changes like these.

super excited!

repping the COE23 merch, love to see it! home stretch for lazer, cannot wait for ranked play :)

good luck new players and upcoming tournament players

Nice slider changes! Next time I log in hopefully it won’t feel mushy.

Happy New Year!!! Thank you @osugame for your work! I love your game!

Love the reverse leniency change, always hated how it works in stable

these slider changes are so massive, the fact that the short sliders would cause you to miss hitting late bugged me so much

Thank u

Like to see Lazer moving a good direction here. I'm gonna wait until pp releases to make sure bugs can be resolved but then I'm definitely trying to move to lazer

holy shit. holy shit it's almost time.

I'm sooo hyped :)

Very excited :]

The developer transparency on this is amazing. LGTM!

I've never in my life seen a dev (team) that is this transparent to and cares this much about their community. If i could choose any person in the universe as the lead dev of osu i wouldn't change a thing. Much love and keep it up, you're doing gods work :))

I've been playing lazer for a pretty long time now and I gotta say: the slider changes are the one thing this game needed to make it ready for ranked play. Compared to stable, it was very frustrating how the game was created around being able to click early and these changes, in my opinion, are the best thing the game could have received. Hitting a 50/100 on a fast slider and not missing is just a wonderful change.

2:01 I actually used it and missclicked a lot by not hitting the mod itself, appreciate the change

imo, lazer is great, and the part wich might became insane for the game is the playlists. We need more on that, it can open the game in so much ways, improvised tournament, fun map packs, good ranked map pack in game, just sharing a good moment between players etc (and dont forget the potential streams/videos about a streamer trying to get beaten by the community or thing like that. It can become such a good place ^^ anyway, insane update for a kinda old player like me x)

Although I'm a bit disappointed pp wasn't ready before the new year, watching all of these update videos made me realise just how much room lazer still has to improve. Hope the team doesn't feel too rushed and can enjoy a well deserved winter break!

I am SO awestruck that you can **FINALLY** freehand draw sliders THANK YOU peppy + the team y’all deserve the best

The slider changes actually look amazing. I never put much thought into why some short (repeating) sliders feel so unintuitive to play, but the fact that you basically had to hit them early is most likely it.

Honestly it was a fun ride seeing how lazer changed over the years of development. I still remember back in 2016 when lazer was just an alpha build. Great work guys :D

love the slider changes

I am more excited for those videos than for christmas shit ❤❤❤

very excited

Good job guys!

ITS FINALLY HAPPENING LETS GOO

Happy Holidays. And nice work, Lazer has come along way (i wasnt here for too long, but still been here) wish you the best

lazer feels really good now

Ngl this is looking great, pp not being almost entirely dependent on combo is an amazing thing. I dont know how ill like the fact that sliders have accuracy based on timing now but i can just learn to play better so losing a bit of pp from acc wont be that bad

another Slider update FINALLY!!!! omg this is Soo huge change once again!!!!!!!

love to see it

very cooll!!

I hope they change how the touchscreen mod works so players that play by dragging a stylus on the screen don't get their pp nerf. Only when the cursor teleports is when that mod should activate.

its been 2 weeks ppy where is!!!11 /j ily ppy

Drawing the sliders looks good

Ranked lazer before the end of the year my ass

finally, I've been waiting since 2015...

Can't wait for 2024🎉

We love ppy

This is big!

can't wait for pp on lazer. i get much better fps on lazer than stable because i am on linux, and i have really liked the changes made to scoring, sliders, and especially notelock

can't wait

where pp

will there be an editable skin.ini file in a later update or can elements only be changed through the built in editor? if you can only use the editor please add more options for mania such as hitpos and column start 🙏 im really excited for lazer its making a lot of good progress really quickly and im excited to possibly switch over when its ready for ranked

Hell yeah!

these videos are like content now instead of some update release video XD

i love you peppy
