If you really want to see who your friends are, just who they are. They're already highlighted on the list and any friend beyond rank 40 won't show anyway.

When you're newer to the game you don't particularly get that competitive feel, but starting up with friends and seeing a friend ranking fixes that. It's even better if it's multiple friends. Imagine a small community like a forum with on Osu thread in off topic, they friend each other and just wanna keep tabs on each other's scored without manually posting their scored in the thread.I'm sure there are a lot of people who aren't interested in the top 40, but would be interested in having a scoreboard of their 20 mutual friends to compete with. Having to manually manage scores makes it too much of a hassle to be fun.As for stalking people's scores, you could just have it work for just mutual friends. It also doesn't help that you don't get a notification when people request you as a friend for you to accept, they can just add you without your knowledge. Friend system in general seems in need of tweaking, but perhaps that's for a different time.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/div>\n \n peppy<\/a>\n\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n 19,323 posts\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n \n Here since the beginning<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n \n \n \n peppy<\/a>\n\n \n 2012-06-16T19:12:27+00:00<\/time>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n I am hoping to address this in a round-about way in the future. For now, due to my previously mentioned reasons, it is not possible.mmstick wrote:<\/h4>I don't see how this would be intensive to implement, plenty of other games do this. One way would be to store all scores on a server, only keeping the highest score a makes and the client simply grabs the data from the website database in real-time (similar to embedding a frame of a webpage). Another way would be for the clients to individually ask other clients for their highest local scores to sync with and promptly attempt to sync with friends clients when a new high score is obtained.<\/blockquote>You need an index per- per-beatmap ordered by score. As this information is obviously not stored in a single table, it means duplicating a lot of data, which all needs to be updated on a regular basis. Making this an efficient lookup is one of the most challenging query types for a database. It of course can be done, but requires a lot of optimisation, consideration and storage space.Your solutions may sound simple to you, but aren't actually feasible due to over-simplication (suggestion 1) or incorrect approach (suggestion 2).<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n asdsasd123<\/a>\n\n \n \n \n \n 18334i
