PIU Website Critique

PIU Website Critique

• Series of Qualitative questions regarding opinions on the current pump it up website (phoenix.piugame.com)
• Asked about the negatives/positives on the leaderboard & rating/profiles
• Asked about any features that felt missing in the website for us to include in our project.

PIU Website Critique

• In terms of positives:
• Progress tracking was universally praised
• Visual progression bar
• Display rating needed to the next rank
• How you need to place to promote
• Seeing other players and THEIR progress

PIU Website Critique

• In terms of Critiques:
• Capped at OVER 20, and 100 players
• Resources to remove the cap?
• Who places higher in the case of 2 PGs?
• 1: People who PG first should be higher
• My worry is that users who lose their potential number 1 spot might feel discouraged from trying to play the chart
• 2: People who PG a song should overtake the previous PG, that user can get their spot if they PG again
• Gets annoying to constantly shoot for a PG, but maybe that is good to push people..?
• Want to more easily see other user’s progress
• Make profiles + scores public

PIU Website Critique

• In terms of Missing Features:
• Users found that the main website was unable to display that user’s best scores tab
• No metrics of previous plays/skill
• Rivals is a feature missed most by players
• Per song on a user’s profile doesn’t list their placement on the leaderboard (for that chart)

Ranking Convention

Ranking Convention

Ranking Convention

General Idea: Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced/Expert/…?

• To decide:
• Within these ranks, how many subgroups?
• I, II, III, IV, V
• 1-10
• Number based elo was pretty close as well
• Have titles based on a value which scales on rating? (performance on a song)
• Ie 1-15 (w/ decimal values):
• Matching maimai/sdvx

Proposed Features

Proposed Features

What would be the first thing you do when you load up the website?

1. Check out Division Leaderboards
2. View my profile/past scores
3. Check out my rivals scores

Proposed Features

Proposed Features

Proposed Features

General Takeaways:

• People don’t care to see the specifics of every score = keep it simple
• Don’t include perfects,greats, etc. Max combo
• ​

Proposed Features

How to integrate Common Themes from our survey:

• Make the main web UI contain details of the current fullmode in addition to a link to the current placements
• Add a sidebar which allows players to access their profiles, rivals, in-app settings
• On user profiles:
• Allow users to check
• their rank
• Top 10 charts (relative to rating?)

Proposed Features

Back End:

• Integrate ability to scrape stats from piugame website in order to increase convenience of not needing to submit scores

Thank you!

Let Fullmode begin!
