You Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) No idea how ranks are calculated but when a game has easy trophies and the platinum rate is high, it seems to be impossible to get an A. I've noticed this twice now. For example I have hitman go and right now I am at 98%, one bronze trophy off 100%, except my rank is B. The next trophy I would get takes me straight to platinum, and a rank S, in other words it is impossible to get an A. http://psnprofiles.com/trophies/4367-Hitman-GO-Definitive-Edition/enaysoft Edited March 28, 2016 by enaysoft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S and F are the only fixed ranks (100% and 0% respectively). E and D are divided between F and C. Same goes for B and A. With Hitman Go 99% would be rank A, but since you only need one more trophy, you won't reach 99% completion and go straight to Rank S.

Satoshi Ookami Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Yea, and? It's not like you would not get Plat on an easy game to leave it on A =D Sound Shapes has C Plat rank, you shouldn't really care about ranks of easy games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suicide_Tortuga Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Why would you not want an S rank? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanielJohn Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Why would you not want an S rank? It's pretty clear that he's saying he thinks he should have rank A (not at 98%, not that he thinks he should have rank A (not S) at 100%. However, I really don't think this is a bug/worth addressing. It's an interesting piece of trivia, but there's nothing wrong with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Thanks for the explanation Dragon-Archon. Not using an averaging ratio. that's an interesting calculation you've got going on there By this logic I guess, the opposite is also true, if a game is incredibly difficult then even getting a single bronze would jump your rank from F to D and it would be unobtainable to get an E? Hitman has a lot of golds, therefore like a PSN (this also happened to Devil Doodle) there are not enough trophies to be able to get 99% Well, I see it as a bug anyway. But I guess, for certain, no urgency for a fix, just something I noticed. Thanks for reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlyAceZeta Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 The point of the website's rarity values and ranks are that you're comparing it to other PSNProfiles users. That's why the trophy rarity values are not accurate to everyone who owns the game - they're based on PSNP stats only, same for the ranks being averaged. They could switch to making the ranks points-based, but that's not really their point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting any trophy will put that at rank C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true. I have a single bronze trophy in ibb & obb and I have A rank in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. For example, my Sine Mora is A rank with only 2 bronzes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoazol Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Hitman has a lot of golds, therefore like a PSN (this also happened to Devil Doodle) there are not enough trophies to be able to get 99% Not just PSN titles. Since the percentage is always rounded down and platinums don't count towards the completion percentage, there are about 80 titles in total that can even get a 99% completion.

Yes. I have an "A" rank in Dragon Fin Soup despite earning only 1 trophy. I have an "A" rank in PlanetSide 2 despite earning only 1 trophy. I have a "C" rank in Travel Bug despite earning only 1 trophy. The list goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
