TakeaShower__ Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I heard this is a pretty good game and was interested in picking it up and platinuming it if the online is still available. Are the online trophies tedious or a grind? I would be interested in boosting if the online is dead too. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antithesis Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 The server is still up, but the online trophies are bloody hard. The only guys left playing are hardcore and eat the rest of us for breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X_RaceKing_X Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Yea only pros play the game really, it can be tough. But it is very fun! Just grab some friends to play with and you'll knock out some easy stuff and get to Legend faster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeaShower__ Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 What would be the minimum number of people required to boost? If there are challenges that require multiple wins in a row or eight player lobbies i will be reluctant to get it frankly. If its more or less xp related and just about winning in each playlist then i have no issues. If theres anyone willing to boost i could pick it up within the next week.

The Chosen Undead Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Minimum 4 players to boost the trophies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemiak Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 You get xp(fans) for every race and have to reach level 50 at least once which can be done without boosting. Most of the ones that are better to boost can be done in an hour or two once you've unlocked everything you need. One challenge requires level 30 to become available One thing to note us that a few of the online challenges can't be earned in private rooms. You can start a public match and invite your friends, then just disband if you end up with a random ringer. Several can be done with only one other player but some of the modes require 4 to start a race. If you don't have any friends with this game feel free to add me and send me a friend challenge after a race, then just pm me. I'll beat it and re-challenge you. Then just finish it once more and send it back and you'll have one trophy done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antithesis Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 But it is very fun! And that's kinda the point. Blur is a fantastic racing game, regardless of trophies. My internet connection is horrendously poor, which is why I tend to struggle with most online MP. If your connection is solid, you've got a chance at the Plat. But don't overlook a great game simply because the trophies are hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurtlePM Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Yes, they still UP Its a very fun underared Game. I suggest you play some carreer Mode first and then aim for the online Trophies. Its not certain How long the servers still on, so you better play online to reach level 50 (some other Trophies will pop eventualy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saionji Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Servers are still up as of June 2016, if anyone is still interested in online trophies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_Tonto Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Servers are still up as of June 2016, if anyone is still interested in online trophies. Thanks for the update. I really, really have to get back into this game. And at least get the online portion, sorted out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dweezil_inc Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) As of November 20, servers still up, but I've never seen more than 100 players at once, and they generally stick to one room. Lots of people are level 50, and like to pretend they're the big fish in the little pond. Funny thing is that many are gaming noobs with only a few games played and seem to think blur is it. Most aren't interested in boosting either -- they just play for fun, which is cool, but makes it hard for the rest of us to get the online trophies.

Sigma999 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) I was think of getting Blur but the online portion is putting me off . Is the online boostble and how much hard is to get the online trophies? Doesn't seem to be much people playing Blur online nowadays.

dweezil_inc Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 There have been people playing every night since I got the game. It's usually the same group but the games are very steady and I've never had to wait except in the other rooms that no one plays in. I've made it to level 35 of 50 in about a week without boosting.

dweezil_inc Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 the problem with this game is that it's a lot of fun, so there are an inordinate number of lifers still playing that are nearly impossible to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemiak Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 The good news is you don't really need to win to keep making progress in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only problem is that there are only high rank players who have played this games thousands of hours what makes it really hard to win just a single race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackhnatejko Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I remember playing it on X360 when it first came out. I've really enjoyed it, fun racing game. I'd love to earn some trophies in it or even plat the game. It's a shame the servers are not so occupied by gamers these days. It would be really fun to actually be able to get a group of people together and sort of earn the trophies together while just enjoying it for a change. Anyone up for it?

cris3f Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Just a heads up on this. Activision seems to have axed Geometry Wars PS3 (at least) servers recently in "stealth mode" (no warnings). Considering Blur is almost 10 years, was done by Bizarre (just sacked after finishing Blur) and Lucid (Geometry creators) is mostly ex-Bizarre people, some other gamer quoted that Activision sacked lots of people in tech support lately, the fact that Sony is pushing hard to kill ALL PS3 and Vita servers, these ones smell suspiciously like getting the same treatment. Of course they could last another 10 years... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like i already said, there are many games with various degrees of online features that are still working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sony has 0 interest in keeping them working or wasting any bandwith with them. PS4 traffic is paid, PS3 and VIta is free. Think again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
