Popular Post Psy-Tychist Posted March 8 Popular Post Share Posted March 8 To Everyone, The THL Team Special has finally finished!! With some great matches and some even crazier scoring, this has been an exciting event to witness. You all deserve the rest after playing hard for the wins. Scores and Final Standings will come out later. For some people (who probably have forgotten), there is also the little matter of having the top scorers of each league compete for individual rights to being Top Dog in their respective leagues. More details coming soon. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lucas Posted March 8 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 8 The main show of the Trophy Hunters League Team League special has come to an end! Thanks everyone for playing! Congratulations to Team @ApriIis@gazdavis11@shottysniper123@steveblazinggrin for claiming victory! And how! Unbeaten for their entire run this season, massive personal and team scores, breaking multiple records... very impressive. But most impressive of all: great teamwork! As impressive as high personal scores may be, you really need to work together well in the Team variant of THL if you want a shot a winning. Team ApriIis-Gaz-Shotty-Steve gave us a perfect display of extraordinary teamwork. Well done and congratulations on your well-deserved victory! Exact scores and final standings will be posted at a later moment due to some technical issues. We do know, however, that Team ApriIis-Gaz-Shotty-Steve have won the league with a perfect streak and who our MVP Round competitors are. These four players ended up scoring the highest from all involved participants in their respective league. Who is the MVP of the Team League special season? Let the MVP round begin! MVP Round 1 ApriIis v jermthejerm v shottysniper123 v NuclearManager Approximate starting time: 43 minutes from now Good luck! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I was right when I said this! GGs to everyone and especially @ApriIis @gazdavis11 @shottysniper123. This team wouldn't have been anywhere near as fun without them, and I had a blast crushing the competition along side them. Definitely a heck of a debut season, excited to see what the future holds for THL. Good luck in the CWC yall! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 (edited) MVP Final Round results jermthejerm (0.0) v shottysniper123 (4.5) I uhh... From what might be craziest main season in THL history with massive high-scores to probably far and away the worst finale in THL history... right... Season wrap-up and some more info about upcoming season(s) to follow soon. For now, we break. EDIT: ''probably'' just doesn't cut it, ''far and away'' is more applicable here .

steveblazinggrin Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 This might just be the CRAZIEST match up I've ever seen. I'm honestly in tears after witnessing this absolute gaming prowess. I truly respect Shotty, not only as a teammate, but now as a true master. Valiant effort from Seb, it must hurt losing after scoring so much, a scene reminiscent of Lucas's attempt at a win in Krazy VS. ApriIis. This may just be the pinnacle of THL, GGs boys, GGs. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 Season 41 information A little early, I know, but I would like to get everyone's opinion on something. For future individual seasons going forward, we are thinking of potentially redividing all current participants over the four main leagues. For a while now, we've been seeing that some people that have been around a while stay up in the higher leagues simply based on seniority. Of course, there's nothing wrong with this and they fully earned that spot even if that was seasons ago. However, seeing the recent surge in new, high-scoring competitors entering the league, we thought it might be a good idea, for the sake of competitiveness, to rearrange the leagues based on individual scores of the last season (Team League special). By doing this, both participants who usually score very high as well as those who score a bit lower get to have a competitive season. The high-scoring participants get to face each other in the higher leagues, while the more relaxed participants get to have fun in the lower leagues. After this one-time restructuring, league promotion/relegation would continue as usual. We do understand that not everyone might be okay with this change and some people might rather hold onto their spot in league they are currently playing in. That's why we want to let everyone vote on it. I opened a poll at the top of this thread to see what everyone's opinions on this possible restructuring are. I also added two questions to get some feedback on the newly implemented Golden Game rule. I'd really appreciate it if you all could fill out this poll . Only responses from current participants will be taken into account. Thanks! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveblazinggrin Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I like the idea of golden games but I would definitely say it needs some tuning. It is nice to add incentive to actually play good games, (unfortunately not everyone loves finding animals as much as @NuclearManager) however the incentive might not be enough. I mean, 2x points can be really good and that showed in fixture 1 with Minecraft, but I don't think it justifies starting an over 50 hour jrpg like Final Fantasy. Also, not exactly sure if this is a preventable issue, but it seemed like a decent amount of people didn't own the majority of the games selected, which lead to them being underutilized. Of course, the golden games don't need to be the main focus of the event so perhaps accessibility isn't super important, just my two cents. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman_Spinksy1 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 As Steve said, the idea of golden games were nice and gave me incentive to clean up Rocket League but there were quite a few long games and newer games that came up that ended up either not worth it or most people not owning it. Maybe if the game got pulled from the PS+ catalogue so more people owned it or pulled from shorter games like Moving Out, Overcooked etc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillerUni12 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I like the idea of restructuring into teams for the sake of competitiveness, though I do think having individual seasons or fixtures would be fun (not really sure how that would look off the top of my head!). I like the golden games format - but I didn't love the games chosen. I don't have the greatest internet connection and it took 3 days to download FFVI Remake 🤣 (the download kept failing and needed to be manually resumed). Obviously, this is more of a me problem than a THL problem, but I think announcing the golden games sooner would be a big help - and/or maybe having some criteria to determine the games. I'd already played both Minecraft and Rocket League and I don't think I'd want to add a game with unobtainables to my profile (though I see how this could be part of the challenge - sacrificing comp %age for points). Hope this is helpful! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnillisch Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I know only current participants are asked, but I figured I share my two cents on this as well: As for the league restructuring, I personally would say it's kinda unfair to use just one season as reference. Imagine someone worked hard for 3-4 seasons to rank up to gold or platinum and then had one weak season. If they'll end up on bronze because of that one season, that'll suck for them to be fair. I'd rather take the last 5 season into consideration and take the average score. I mean, we all know IRL can be busy sometimes.. The Golden Game idea was cool to watch so I hope to see it again next season. In my opinion, the x2 multiplier works fine as well. Only negative part, which was also mentioned by some participants, is that mostly new games were picked or very long games. I personally owned 1 of all these games (Rocket League) and had 100% on that one years ago so I couldn't use any games if I'd were participant except I'd buy them just for this event. If there's a way to optimize that so games are more accessible for everyone, this would be awesome. Maybe use games from PS+ extra catalogue or former PS+ essential games as most people here have at least PS+ extra as far as I know. I'm sure Cowbear had a database for these already so Froopy could fetch that data for this event. As I wrote on Discord as a funny comment, you could also add a Golden Raspberry. Every participant can choose one game per season that's usually blacklisted for being too short. Obviously, no shovelware for this, but there are some decent games that can be completed in less than 6 hours so everyone could use this once a season to boost some extra points. Maybe even use x0.5 multiplier for this one so it's not too heavy on points. Just my two cents on all this tho. Regardless, I'm looking forward to be back in the next season no matter what are the exact details. It'll be fun again anyways. 😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serrated-banner9 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 (edited) Personal thoughts 1. i feel like this is the right thing to do, despite me being in sliver and probably will be demoted back to Bronze. I feel like this is the best option because i feel like the league becoming competitive for everyone is a good idea as the league will always be entertaining to watch and won't be as lopsided as say a big scorer like @NuclearManager vs a low scoring like me which will prevent discouragement and promote trying your best to gain that last promotion place, also (probably because i have Autism) the final day in anything be it from football or baseball is absolutely fun to watch seeing how will and won't make promotion/playoff place, and who will and won't be relegated to the lower league plus upsets are fun . 1 hour ago, Gnillisch said: As for the league restructuring, I personally would say it's kinda unfair to use just one season as reference.

I'd rather take the last 5 season into consideration and take the average score. I mean, we all know IRL can be busy sometimes.. This is a fair point, and we should probably consider it BUT there are a lot of people in the league who haven't done 5 seasons yet so it would be putting them at a disadvantage. Unfortunately only looking at this season is probably the best path 2. The concept of golden games are fine as i think they add variety into the league, i didn't like the games it choose this season though because i didn't own most of them , the only thing that might be bad is that it may advantageous to newer accounts as they would likely have less games played, but you could make the same argument and say that older accounts are advantaged because they have a huge backlog so the chance a game from their backlog is chosen is increased, also would like to be slightly more variety in the games as i noticed most of them was AAA games or big AA Games (robocop, Minecraft, rocket league etc) and i feel like there should be more indie representation to be honest but i guess you can't really fix this without changing the whole system. 3. Golden games are fine and it should keep the 2x multiplayer because why not, it's rewarding for the player to play the game so they shouldn't be decreased to 1.5x but they shouldn't be 3x worth as it would be slightly unfair against someone who has already completed the game or don't have access to it so 2x is just about right.

Team Mayhem @Master_Mayhem_ - 2754.3pts (S36) ---> 0 - No change, been six months without a trophy now... @Syr_Rys - 950.2pts (S37) ---> 295 - Not near their total but in another season it may happen. @ResidentDarrell - 296.5pts (S39) ---> 215.5 - Got closer to that total but not enough to improve. @Doylus91 - 1838.5pts (S39) ---> 1968 - After carrying Team Mayhem, the reward is a brand new personal best! NEW RECORD. Team Havoc @Havoc273 - 890.9pts (S35) ---> 926.5 - Not blowing away their best score but has reached closer to 1k points. NEW RECORD. @emzynitro__ - 573pts (S39) ---> 763 - Smashed their best total and individual scores this season. Exceptional work. NEW RECORD. @freddie1989 - 435pts (S11) ---> 357.5 - A solid score, but will have to try again to beat their best which has stood for 5 years. @RudeDonny - 165.9pts (S38) ---> 163.5 - So close to matching or beating but misses out by a common silver. Team Darren @GTA_Darren - 899.4pts (S36) ---> 991 - Nearly at the 1k mark but still beaten their best by nearly 100pts. NEW RECORD. @ShinobiMonk - 1194.5pts (S37) ---> 1393.5 - Nearly 200pts past your previous PB is nothing to sniff at. NEW RECORD @Piezilla57 - 1122.5pts (S40) ---> 784.5 - Not close to their debut season but a solid effort thoughout. @Banana_Sausage47 - NEW ---> 1100.5 - With an impressive score in excess of 1000 points in the first season this fruity snack is one to look out for. Team Krazy @Krazy_99 - 1067pts (S39) ---> 1130 - Ever improving and it shows, their personal best is beaten for a third time in a row. NEW RECORD. @madbuk - 902.8pts (S36) ---> 859 - Another solid season with a points total very close their best. A worthy effort. @Lucas - 1698.4pts (S37) ---> 2696.5 - Absolutely destroyed his winning season total by nearly 1000 points. NEW RECORD. @Hitman_Spinksy1 - NEW ---> 2571.5 - A monster first season with over 2500 points. A name to be feared in the season ahead. Team Psy @Psy-Tychist - 1726.1pts (S38) ---> 1553 - Over 1500pts seems good, but not in comparison to a lot of the scores around.. @RedbeardRik - 1601pts (S26) ---> 750 - Respectable scoring but another time and challenge needed. @Prometheous101 - 1402.5pts (S40) ---> 1015.5 - Still 1k points is nothing to be sniffed at. After a hefty intro season, will the next be where he shines? @KillerUni12 - NEW ---> 1626.5 - With a score that rivals any competitors best score, this debut season has been Killer. Team Connie @Connie - 1378.6pts (S36) ---> 1133 - Another solid total by the end of the season, even with completing games from their backlog. @NandK1998 - 586pts (S39) ---> 230 - Slowed to a halt by the end of the season. Maybe the off season will rejuvenate them. @Terra - 676pts (S21) ---> 61.5 - Maybe not as competitive at the moment but every season is different. Maybe next time. @Meikoro - NEW ---> 615 - This total is nothing to sniff at and they have contributed to their team really well. Next season will be interesting. Team Jello @Jello - 1160.5pts (S30) ---> 1345 - Finally beating that 10 season record by a margin too. NEW RECORD. @Wdjat Prinny Doods - 2213.3pts (S36) ---> 577.5 - Chilled out and without a care, Prinny does his own thing. @UltraDog177 - 463.6pts (S38) ---> 52 - Oskar is too far in Final Fantasy XIV to be trying to get big scores. The anime protagonist had a filler season. @UnwaveringSoul_ - 954.4pts (S27) ---> 44.5 - A very quiet season with the lowest total score for the season. Another time. Team ApriIis @ApriIis - 2760.5pts (S40) ---> 4243.5 - Beating an incredible total, they have the third highest points total ever. NEW RECORD. @gazdavis11 - 962.1pts (S38) ---> 906.5 - Gaz put up a really good score but just fell short this time. @shottysniper123 - 1264.5pts (S40) ---> 4839 - Way past triple their points from last season is a huge jump and now holds the second highest total ever. NEW RECORD. @steveblazinggrin - NEW ---> 3672.5 - The highest intro score ever and fifth highest total ever! Team Cash @UnboundedCash99 - 2710.5pts (S40) ---> 3769 - The juggernaut just keeps scoring and the limit is nowhere to be seen. Another massive score and fourth best ever. NEW RECORD. @DEMONICRUBLE18 - 1270.5pts (S39) ---> 3042 - Doubling their best score is no small feat and finished with the 7th best total ever. NEW RECORD. @Sebastian - 2791.5pts (S36) ---> 2225 - A nice number to end on. Not the highest but outstrips a fair few others for this total. @ySlifer__ - NEW ---> 1874 - Beating my best total before the end of the season is no small feat and I expect big things going forward. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
