Stedde Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I am not really a fan of stacking trophies. Never seen the really value in it (I am not rush in climbing the leaderboard ?) In my humble opinon you get the value from complete a game once. Getting the same value with not extra effort 3 times or more is a strange phenomena. The same thing about auto-popping. You have completed a game once, why should you get the value twice with not extra effort? With this said, how big of a difference to the leaderboard would this do? A game can/would only get counted once, a more "clean" Leaderboard. Would there be a lot of movement among all the trophy hunters in the current leaderboard or the list would look the same, do you think? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diskdocx Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 It would look incredibly lame with nothing but spam. Much like the current leaderboard. There are only a couple of dozen auto pop plats, so removing them will have almost no impact. Removing legitimately played stacks is just nonsense. Just because you aren't a fan is irrelevant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"You have completed a game once, why should you get the value twice with no extra effort?" That doesn't apply to stacking since you do it all again. If someone had a site that could track Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation achievements for a combined leaderboard and someone got Super Meat Boy to 100% on all of them would that "not count" to you? Did that require "no extra effort"? I think you meant silly opinion. I love stacking since it gives me an excuse to replay games I like. Sure I could replay the other version I already did, but why not get another platinum in the process? Did my first platinum of Jak & Daxter not count either since I also got 100% on PS2? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean "nothing but spam"? Is it not exactly what we currently have. Same game showing up many times? You are right.

You are correct. Of course there is any effort of playing the same game again. It was wrong to put the stacking and Auto-pop in the same bucket. I am only thinking about Playstation and not thinking about other achievements. I don't own any other cones and cannot relate to playing the same game again but for another console. 8 minutes ago, MonaSaxPayne said: going by your own metrics, your 52% completion profile suggests u don't even get value out of your own games let ppl play how/what they want.

I was just curious what other people think. Edited January 8, 2023 by Stedde 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DrBloodmoney Posted January 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) Probably not much different TBH. If anything, it would favour the folks already at the top - since it is still faster to ”play” 200 shovelwares that are technically separate “games” than playing a single, quality game, and auto-popping another stack of it.

The only real difference is that the points gulf between the heavy shovelware-users, and the shovelware-averse would widen a bit.

HardModeTrophies Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) PSN100 is not ideal, keep that in mind I platted the Vita version of Ys: Lacrimosa of Dana on my old account and it got invalidated as "obsolete" because of the PS5 version (even though autopop is impossible) The same complaint applies to the PS3 versions of Mass Effect, Persona 5 (even though vanilla is harder to plat than Royal) and countless other PS3 / PS4 / Vita games With that being said, if there was a way to distinguish auto-pop plats from legit double / triple stacks (earned legitimately) and remove Ratalaika-tier games, it would be the perfect leaderboard Edited January 8, 2023 by HardModeTrophies 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrBloodmoney Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) Just as a side note, I see some folks recommending PSN100... ...and I don't really understand why? PSN100 isn't a leaderboard against stackers, it is a leaderboard ONLY for stackers. PSN100 only recognises the stack, not the original. If a game comes out, and 100 players complete it, then a new version comes out - all players have their original game invalidated, and the points removed for it, whether or not they even have access to the new version. The only people who get any recognition points, are the ones who either auto-pop, or re-do the new version. It is more of a "rolling" leaderboard, specifically designed to cater to those who like to stack every version of every game, than a straight "one version only" LB, which is what I think the OP is hinting at?

sepheroithisgod Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 It would trim some of the larger accounts down, but would ultimately be similar. At this point, the only leaderboard changes that will have any impact are: 1) Rarity leaderboard (i.e not counting trophies above a certain threshold like 75% etc.) 2) Making all of the games this website marks as shovelware worth 0 points. Shovelware has destroyed the leaderboard and it is not repairable unless they are removed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My (very clear) point was that while PSN100 may look like a leaderboard that fits the remit of the OP’s question - upon closer inspection, it is, in fact, the polar opposite - a Leaderboard made only to cater to stacks. But, of course, you already know that. You just felt like having a go over the specific (perfectly valid) way in which I chose to make that point, by highlighting my first sentence, and “answering” it in isolation, devoid of the context of the greater point to which it was the opening salvo. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, let me get this straight: if there is a game that somebody loves enough to not only play more than once but also go for the platinum, for instance, say The Witcher 3 which takes about 200 hours and doesn't support auto popping as far as I know then there's no value or effort in that because it's the same game? Respectfully, this take is so bad that I honestly think you're gonna look back on it in a few years and cringe, I really do. 1 hour ago, MonaSaxPayne said: going by your own metrics, your 52% completion profile suggests u don't even get value out of your own games let ppl play how/what they want.

No, I think it’s a valid answer to “How would a leaderboard look without Autopopping and Stacking” and the second sentence of my two sentence reply addresses the rest of your post without needing to quote your whole post, that for much of the leaderboard, only counting the most recent stack like the example does would have a minuscule impact on the leaderboard because stacks don’t make up a significant number of the points for any given participant. So the few that would be invalidated wouldn’t change much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the few that would be invalidated wouldn’t change much. This is a misunderstanding of what PSN100 does. The fact that “stacks don’t make up a significant number of the points for any given participant” is true - which is precisely why PSN100s methodology would have an impact. Most people don’t play every stack of a game. Take something like The Witcher 3 - it’s a very popular game, but a long and involved one, so the majority of people who platted it on Ps4 will likely not re-plat on Ps5. However, because the PS5 version exists, now everyone who did plat it on PS4 just had those points voided. Since there are a lot of PS4 games getting new PS5 versions, the fact that most people WONT re-plat or re-pop them, means PSN100s methodology does have a big effect - it renders games that are big, popular and successful enough to warrant any re-release null-and-void for regular, non-stacking players. It caters only to players who either stack, autopop, or exclusively play obscure or niche games, that are unlikely to ever get a remaster. (though, of course, not too obscure… …since any game that gets delisted also gets rendered null-and-void!)

Autopops take even less effort than shovelware platinums. Plus they fuck up rarity for people who legitimately play the games, e.g. Spider-Man Remastered on PS5 has a 63% rarity while Miles Morales is 50% despite the fact that Miles Morales is a standalone DLC and Spider-Man Remastered is a full game.

Even most shovelware platinums take at least 5-10 minutes. One autopop takes less effort than one shovelware platinum. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
