Popular Post BlindMango Posted November 16, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) This is the to-do list for additions people want for Gaming Sessions here on the site. If you're looking to recommend something, make sure it's not already on the list below. A couple things were added during the December 2016 site update and are now crossed out in green, other things on the list are planned to be added as well in the future. Major additions suggested: User Reputation System for Sessions (Being Tested) Notify me when sessions for games I'm interested in are created Ability to quickly compare all individual trophies among users in the session Editing, Copying, and Saving Session formats/layouts Minor/easy additions suggested: Ability to filter out games that I've 100% Completed Add (country) flags/timezones under all usernames in the sidebar Ability for host to update Session Initial Notes Update number of earned trophies of people in the group in the sidebar to reflect their updated profile (Maybe auto-update users every hour for 5 hours after session starts too) Ability to delete (leave) completed sessions/Toggle length of completed sessions showing up at the top of the page Allow an organized "backup gamer" list under the main "gamers in session" list for instances in case people don't show up. Passive (Relaxed) identifiers/settings to point out gaming sessions for people with kids, etc... The website needs to prevent accidental "Double Postings" of the same Gaming Session Allow selectable notification times for when to notify me about a gaming session, maybe add more kinds of notifications (forums, app, etc) Add an "Any Time" time slot as a way to accommodate the people that usually post "ignore time and date" in their notes Ability for the host to specify exactly which console the session is on if the game is a multi-console list. When creating a gaming session, list what console the game is on in the drop-down menu and maybe even the game ID (for situations like owning all 6 versions of Sound Shapes) Get notified when a session you're a part of is deleted before it starts Get notifications (email, forum) on when a session is made for a certain game Edited December 17, 2017 by BlindMango 42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Tron Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) Even if Sly has his own personal list, I think it'd be a good idea to just leave this here for us members to have a central hub to discuss what kind of features should be included and features that we'd want implemented the most. The reputation system sounds like a great idea to everyone. I don't think we need to disscus how much we'd like to see that. Personally, I really like the idea of listing timezones. I've hosted a session or two and some members just won't say anything about their timezone or don't even know which timezone they're in. It would definitely be less of a hassle if they just have their country listed. Edited November 16, 2014 by Blue Flare 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzzh3lixx Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Ahh the day when we will hopefully have all of these features that will be a good day 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Ookami Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Brilliant idea, Mango! As Blue Flare said, it will be good as a hub for new people who will want to suggest something. If they check this first, they may see that the similar request was already posted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jujmint Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) something i think would be neat and partly because there is a current situation where i think it is rather needed (there is a session where the host has achieved the trophy but like a real trooper keeps extending the session for everyone else) * edit - turns out i spoke too soon, still think delegations would be good though * is along with designating/prioritising people for main/backup could we maybe also designate ownership/maintenance of the session to others (sounds like painful work) question: does the below setting apply to you too i.e. will you be reminded about your own session? "Remind me an hour before a gaming session I'm in is going to start" you know for us with cognitive dysfunction and yes because i have forgotten once already could we be able to adjust the length of time before that we are reminded though, i would prefer a day or two or flights of fancy lol along the lines of copying sessions i would have really liked to reopen the sessions i forgot that ended i know Rome was not built in a day and its probably a trip i cannot afford, but i hear it is really nice Edited March 10, 2015 by jujmint 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlindMango Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 Remind me an hour before a gaming session I'm in is going to start... Sounds good! I've added that, surprised I didn't have it already, lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BongaBrother Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I started a new topic but didn't know about this hub. Ability to filter out sessions with earned trophies. https://psnprofiles.com/forums/topic/24362-suggestion-filter-sessions-having-unearned-trophies/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Ookami Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) Sounds good! I've added that, surprised I didn't have it already, lol We already have it implemented, Mango. But it's only by mail, so maybe different way of reminding. Edited February 15, 2015 by Satoshi Ookami 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X_RaceKing_X Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Yes! I need all these options, it would managing the gaming session so much easier and smoother. Especially updating the notes and seeing what trophies people have and earned during the session. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effdeegee Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) A very nice, organized list (and a thoughtful, selfless gesture for corralling them all into one easy reference point) BlindMango. Very nicely done indeed. Would I have to make an entire other topic for it to be added to the list or, could the link be connected to this individual post, because I have a great suggestion for gaming sessions. I've noticed that a great deal of people making gaming sessions start by saying "ignore time and date" or "time and date are just a place holder". I think it would be beneficial to have a section for gaming sessions without a set date, to be used as an initial gathering of bodies for a few days. Almost like an "any time" session or, a boosting thread with an expiration date on it, at the top of the list of sessions. It would be better than: 1. Setting up a gaming session for tonight and have nobody see it, or have very little exposure time, before it's deleted. 2. Setting up a gaming session every night, for the next several days, for the extra exposure time. Quite troublesome and wasted, redundant effort. 3. Setting up a gaming session for several days down the road and having nobody apply until the day of, or worse, not apply at all because not everyone looks several days ahead. To be honest, I am greatly adversed to the site's gaming session feature. I find that it is quite unnecessary and could be easily replaced by a single boosting/co-op thread in each game's individual forum. It has already been proven for years as the most efficient manner in which to find a partner and makes the currently used method look like a frivolous attempt at reinventing the wheel. With that being said, I certainly do keep in mind that; 1. It is still in it's infancy and still has much room to grow, which also leads me to 2. If several of the already made suggestions were to be added to the gaming session feature, it could potentially become the new benchmark for all other gaming websites to aspire to. So, that's my suggestion; a section for dateless or "any time" sessions, listed for a set period of time.

Ric Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Okay everybody - I've noticed a trend that a lot of people want a ton of features for Gaming Sessions and they are scattered all over the place in the forums, I want to have a central place for Sly and everyone else to be able to refer to regarding wanted features for gaming sessions. Major additions suggested: User Reputation System for Sessions Notify me when sessions for games I'm interested in are created Ability to quickly compare all individual trophies among users in the session Editing, Copying, and Saving Session formats/layouts Minor/easy additions suggested:Ability to filter out games that I've 100% Completed Add (country) flags/timezones under usernames in the sidebar Ability for host to update Session Initial Notes Update number of earned trophies of people in the group in the sidebar Ability to leave completed sessions/Toggle length of completed sessions showing up at the top of the page Allowing people to join an "extra/fallback" secondary list/queue in case someone on the main list doesn't show up Passive (Relaxed) identifiers/settings to point out gaming sessions for people with kids, etc... The website needs to prevent accidental "Double Postings" of the same Gaming Session Allow selectable notification times for when to notify me about a gaming session, maybe add more kinds of notifications (forums, app, etc) Add an "Any Time" time slot as a way to accommodate the people that usually post "ignore time and date" in their notes I probably don't have everything here but I found most of the useful things suggested, feel free to let me know of anything I may have forgotten and I'll try to keep this up to date. Please don't recommend something that's already in the list above, lol Nicely done. One minor thing I'm kind of missing in this list though, is your suggestion for that search box in the trophy list, that you made a while ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jujmint Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 me again just wanted to express some concerns i have with a reputation system as seems to be known/agreed on, it is open to abuse if i get the runaround, used or you just a cheesy player, i would probably drop volley you so i usually can expect some 'retaliation' also it is hard finding like minded people - my stance not being a popular one? which doesnt increase my popularity and fortune we know, favours the popular so for these reasons and because i would not want to be judged by someone else's merits i would like to suggest a feedback system like ebay where ratings are given reasons and allows responses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Saltyie Posted April 3, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) Q: "The Rating System can be easily abused" If PSNP installed a conventional system, then yes, the rating system could be abused. After all, what is stopping a user who doesn't turn up to a session from negatively rating all the people that did turn up? My answer? Majority Vote. We shouldn't be factoring one guy's opinion on another guy, we should be factoring the whole session's opinion on another guy. Picture this; you're in a session, with 7 other people. So in total, that's 8 people who have joined the session. Let's say 2 people don't show to the session. The people who did show up carried on without them, and in the end, achieve their desired trophies. All the people that did turn up are great boosters, and they all vote each other with a plus (+) to signify a positive rating. This will mean that out of the 6 people who showed up to the session, all of them have a +5 Rating. They also rate the no-shows with a minus (-) to signify a negative rating. The two no-shows however proceed to rate everyone with a minus (-) also, maybe out of spite. This will leave the ratings as Good Booster 1 - 5 Positive ratings - 2 Negative Ratings - Final Score +3 Good Booster 2 - 5 Positive ratings - 2 Negative Ratings - Final Score +3 Good Booster 3 - 5 Positive ratings - 2 Negative Ratings - Final Score +3 Good Booster 4 - 5 Positive ratings - 2 Negative Ratings - Final Score +3 Good Booster 5 - 5 Positive ratings - 2 Negative Ratings - Final Score +3 Good Booster 6 - 5 Positive ratings - 2 Negative Ratings - Final Score +3 No show 1 - 0 Positive ratings - 7 Negative Ratings - Final Score -7 No show 2 - 0 Positive ratings - 7 Negative Ratings - Final Score -7 Here's how this will factor into a boosters overall profile - If a + Positive overall rating, then that will be +1 onto a user's boosting reputation. - If a - Negative overall rating, then that will be a -1 onto a user's boosting reputation - If the total is +0, or nobody rates anyone after a week, then that will be a +0 onto a user's boosting reputation Things that need to be changed "Time and date is placeholder" or Unlimited Gamer capacity sessions can't be counted for obvious reasons. A comment system alongside the rating system for each booster. For example, rating someone with a - Negative score, and then commenting "Did not show up to the session" alongside it. This would tell people who view that gamer's profile why they got a negative rating. This could also allow the user to respond to these comments. I don't know if gaming sessions get removed from the PSNP database after a week or if they're cached somewhere, but viewing a user's entire history of gaming sessions activity will be important. This is a half baked idea, I'm just brainstorming. Hopefully some people will agree with me and my suggestion. Thanks!

It has already been proven for years as the most efficient manner in which to find a partner and makes the currently used method look like a frivolous attempt at reinventing the wheel. Except that I still get requests to play RDR, Little Deviants LittlebigPlanet 2 (at least once a month). I platinumed those games over 2 years ago. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I platinumed those games over 2 years ago. There are two things that usually cause that: 1. People that are new to boosting threads and don't know to look at the last page first in order to find the most recent players/most likely to boost. 2. People that don't make the courteous move and go back and edit their original post, to say they don't need help anymore, after they've obtained their trophies. *coughcoughpointingfingersandstuffcoughcoughstillloveyouthoughcough Edited April 3, 2015 by effdeegee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, I think it is almost a "challenge accepted" type thing. That or people are stone stupid. I had this one guy who added me for Red Dead like a year after I got the plat. I told him I had sold the game already and wished him luck with the plat. His response was something like "this is bullshit, you got help with the platinum and now you aren't helping others out" I was like o_O 1. I posted online for people to help with the online trophies and we got them together (so I have already helped people out" 2. I got the plat a year ago so find someone who is looking to get the plat to help you out 3. It is a pretty big game with active servers so it isn't hard to find people and 4. I SOLD THE GAME SO HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO HELP YOU OUT So yeah...I like that my posts disappears after the game session ends 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
