Maxie_M0us3 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) Hi! I noticed many times while building some guides that some trophies don't fill up the tag "Multiplayer only" which means when a trophy is earned by online multiplayer.But many trophies in various games require to access/submit to a Leaderboard, upload photos/levels/contents, beating friends scores from a Leaderboard, rating levels, etc. So many trophies don't involve to play multiplayer against other players, but instead trophies with various tasks and are dependent from game servers to be unlocked.What do you think guys? Should we add "Online Required" as a tag in guides? Edited September 12, 2016 by Max654 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tondt Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Surprised the tag is not there. I think the tag should be named online required, I would say a tag like that is required for guides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergen Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) Tags like "Leaderboard Specific", "Media Upload" and "LAN Multiplayer" would be suitable, since there are probably more trophies like these than trophies that require the PlayStation Eye camera, while there is an "Eye Required" tag. But people normally jump to the multiplayer trophies to see exactly what they entail when they look at a guide on here. The LAN tag would be good because it would let people know if the trophy will still be obtainable after the servers close or if someone can do it in LAN rather than risking a disconnect on the official servers.

Maxie_M0us3 Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) Yes sure, but still all of them require to be connected online in order to make the trophies unlocked. Edited September 12, 2016 by Max654 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullstomp Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Online required makes the most sense, good suggestion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Ookami Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 This would definitely make sense for PS4 games where online is PS+ tied. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrumpetOfDojima Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Most games 'multiplayer only' can be interpreted to online only. But yeah, I see what you mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damon8r351 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I'm surprised one of the guide team hasn't chimed on why this isn't necessary, where they've seemed to sandbag every other suggestion people have made toward making the guides more functional. Like being able to scroll the Guide Contents independently of the rest of the page so you can use it like an index like you should be able to, instead of scrolling through half the main page just to reach the bottom of the Guide Contents. Or tags in trophy descriptions that tell you what step in the roadmap a trophy falls in so you aren't scrolling back and forth between the trophies and roadmap while you're figuring out how to batch your trophy efforts together. "Multiplayer Only" is too vague. There's already a tag for Online Coop, there can also be other ones that outline what you also need online for: Online-Leaderboard, Online-Media Upload, Online-PvP, etc, like that one guy said above. I approve this suggestion, but my opinion doesn't matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon-Archon Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I've added "Online Required" in the upcoming update. Awesome, are there some things from the guide system update version 2.0 wishlist thread included in the upcoming update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxie_M0us3 Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) I've added "Online Required" in the upcoming update. Nice! thank you Sly! Can I come with more tags? - "Ad-Hoc Only" a few Vita games come with trophies using Ad-Hoc only, and extensively, it requires two Vita next to each other. I must say the developpers coming with these trophies are evil, considering the amount of people who own a Vita. Yes the number of Ad-Hoc trophies are rare nowadays (compared to Vita launch) but it may ever happen when it comes to the Vita. - How about "LAN" (Local Area Network) as tag too when some games offers to unlock trophies in LAN? Maybe it's unecessary and it's so rare, and ONLY good to mention it when it occurs. So I consider this tag away from the plan. - There are some games you play through levels, and that's all. There's no story, just purely gameplay. There are some unmissable trophies you will unlock anyway by completing the game. Only levels, no story. Should we consider adding a "Solo", "Campaign" or "Solo Campaign" tag? Or any other word expressing this term? I guess we only notice with a tag when a trophy is specifically offline/online co-op, multiplayer or online only, when it is outside to the Solo play.

Since we can categorize 2 types of Ad-Hocs - offline (doable solo) and online (requires actual 2nd person), I think online tag should be enough to cover this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other sites' guides have this distinction so I always check both just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TehPsychedelic Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Good shit. And nice to know it's been implemented already and will be deployed shortly. Also I agree with the idea of more tags, if they don't depend on servers (if they do, then I think online required suits them all since basically you're at mercy of the game servers being online).

Maxximum Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I thought the "Multiplayer Only" did good. Online Required would do best, thank you Sly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
