Mike13858 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 It takes a little while for your rank to update when you get new trophies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDragonRR Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 It takes account of all trophies. Each type of trophy is assigned a set amount of points (platinums have the most, bronze the least). While you may have more platinums than someone, they could simply be higher ranked due to the overall amount of trophies they have. Can't remember what the exact points are for each type of trophy but I'm sure someone will post that number. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueDragonRR Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 When you have the same amount of points is when the amount of platinums is taken into consideration for tie breakers, if I'm not mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever I'm tied with someone for points, I've noticed that it places me at the top of the people with the same amount of points as me every time, regardless of how many platinum trophies I have.

I'm tied on points at the rank I am but I'm almost at the top because of the platinum number. Only one person is above me and they have more than I do. I just went with that reasoning since it seemed the most logical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miketheking75 Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) The system so wack, I just got my 90th platinum. Someone above me has more trophies overall like 1,000 bronze more. I have more silver, gold and platinums 38/90. Lamer with someone way above me has 15 platinums.

You do have more points than that person but the rankings don't update immediately when you update your profile with your new trophies on this site. Once your rank does update, you should be ahead of that guy. Edited September 23, 2016 by Mike13858 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miketheking75 Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 Also what's with the green arrows and red arrows. I have idea of what they mean but I also see a blue dot and new on the the right side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually just look at platinum number since it is a good indicator on how much someone dedicates to trophy hunting. I have a friend who plays every game he can get his hands on but rarely finishes one playthrough of a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The week for that begins at midnight on Monday GMT Edited September 23, 2016 by Mike13858 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red means you've moved down because others have improved their rank and now outrank you. Blue means you haven't moved in rank (I believe). New means that person wasn't in the last ranking.

Ok I see it, still ridiculous how some people place higher on the rank board because of alot of bronze trophies and platinums below 30. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since every trophy is worth something, not much you can do to get around it. Not to mention the ranking system is based off Playstation's trophy level.

skateak Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Ok I see it, still ridiculous how some people place higher on the rank board because of alot of bronze trophies and platinums below 30. Not really. It's point per trophy. There are people with 70 more plats than me but I have more points because of more trophies overall. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon-Archon Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Ok I see it, still ridiculous how some people place higher on the rank board because of alot of bronze trophies and platinums below 30. Not at all, since it's your total point value that determines your rank. If you want to increase your rank that badly, play games with lots of gold and silver trophies as those yield more points. Also take note that not every PSN profile is being tracked by this site, only the ones that are registered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Ookami Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Ok I see it, still ridiculous how some people place higher on the rank board because of alot of bronze trophies and platinums below 30. Because they are not Plat hunters but simply trophy hunters. In fact, going for Platinums makes it harder for you to rank up. It's easier to rank up with sheer amount. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miketheking75 Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 Just wanted to know, don't really care about the rank. Should be different rank leaderboards one for each type of trophy etc.. unless there already one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manuelito Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) When 2 players are at the same amount of trophies; PSNP check the amount of platinums. If the players have the same amount of plats then PSNP check for gold. Same amount of gold trophies? PSNP check for silver trophies. And finally the same applies when even the silver amount of trophies is identical. PSNP checks for bronze trophies. When you have the same amount of points is when the amount of platinums is taken into consideration for tie breakers, if I'm not mistaken.Yes that's correct. Whenever I'm tied with someone for points, I've noticed that it places me at the top of the people with the same amount of points as me every time, regardless of how many platinum trophies I have.If you look closely you'll see that platinums matter when you have the same amount of points.

Updated site is going to have platform dependent leaderboards, having trophy dependent ones would be too much. Plus, you can pretty much see it now. Low completion = high on bronzes Sound Shapes = high on silvers VN skippers = high on golds and Platinums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care for platinums, my play style doesn't allow me to invest stupid amounts of time into most games. Once I start getting bored that's usually when I stop playing for good. I get as many trophies as possible before the boredom kicks in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xfinity-Ace Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I kinda look at my completion percentage more than my rank. I'm way to low to even worry about it. If I cant get a plat than so be it, but I try to keep my completion above 70 percent. Thats just a personal issue I have though, lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
