Probability of glitched diamond cups?

[ChristIllusion12]

How often do glitched murfy challenges come up? I'm 996 points away from the final level of awesome but I'm almost done with this stupid game. Been doing the daily extreme challenge today and getting to number 4 was a fluke, some of the people who play this have done nothing but play the game since it came out making them practically unbeatable

[Mournblade05143]

That's why I don't do games with leaderboard trophies anymore. Learned my lesson with Modnation. I honestly think these people do it just to shaft people out of getting a plat. Cause there is really no point in doing these things daily if you beat the game and got your plat.

[Xylobe]

I'm just waiting for it to be offered on PS+ so there are more than 2 or 3 diamond cups available

[one_more_name]

Ah yes the glitched murfy challenge.  I got the diamond trophy on the vita back in March 2015.    I think there have been three or four glitches on the vita.    Good luck.

 

Like Xylobe I am hoping it comes out on the ps+ for all platforms (ps vita, ps3 and ps4)

Playing the game for fun I get. Doing these leaderboard challenges for years is to screw other players over.

[ChristIllusion12]

First and foremost, I always play the game for fun.

 

But once I get the platinum I have no desire to play the game again, unless if I have friends round and we play it by chance

 

But I agree with Mournblade too, playing it religiously every day for years is just shafting the other players :/ 

[AloneBert-]

Just got diamond today, it was easy for me cause I got much experience on other accs and platforms before but yes some people are so annoying playing everyday.

 

When I got diamond, it was a running survival extreme challenge so amount of people were 300+, I got 6100 metres after 4-5 tries and it was 2 place. 1st place was taken as usual by Arkiokin with ridiculous score 32KM. 32 KM! IMAGINE! Even if you do it during first try, it means that he have spent about 1 hour of constant running. And he is doing it everyday. 

It's hard to play vs such people because his score is very far beyond Diamond Cup border. If total amount could be like on PS4 then it wouldn't be a problem. But when only 3 people gets diamond and 1 place is always taken by him, then it's a problem.

 

Moreover some skilled but bored to play people now doing not best thing: they are waiting until 1 hour left and easily beats you. I lost some diamonds because of that. I just was naive and thought that it'll be enough to just wait and get diamond and then they come out and beats me.

 

Good luck, I can say that soon another glitch level will spawn no doubts. Be online and check forums here.

[ChristIllusion12]

Yeah I was looking at your profile earlier dude, congrats

You're right in what you're saying, I've noticed the more i'm playing the better I'm getting... but I'm just doing it for the diamond cup at the end of the day, I wouldn't want to be a sad fuck like Arkiokin. Okay, kudos to him, he's better at Rayman Legends than I am and he probably enjoys the game more than I do... but I'm checking him out and I'm like Dude, just play something else... 

 

I only put an hour a day or so into the challenges and then I play whatever game I'm working on afterwards. Just checked Rayman Legends now, I'm in rank 5 out 200+ plus but it's not enough for diamond... may be tempted to go the glitched level approach :/

One word, virgin. 

 

 

[vanillamoose]

I remember how time intensive, and at times, fustrating obtaining a diamond cup could be. Took me at least a few months until I was able to rank and remain in the top 10 percent. I know at times your efforts may seem fruitless but keep at it, eventually a Murphy challenge will roll around and you will snag that diamond cup  

 

Also not sure why some folks continue to play in ranked challenges after they have already platinumed the game. I would think moving on to another game would be more entertaining than trolling trophy hunters...I guess some people just have a different take on fun ?

[RedRodriguez87]

Going off past posts and others previous experiences, I'd say two maybe three times a year there is a glitch. And thats a big maybe now, seeing as to how the ONE glitched event i managed to be apart in caused Ubisoft to shut down online for a week and made me lose the diamond.

[Edunstar84]

Yeah a few times a year, I imagine. Do you need have the diamond for a specific trophy? I can't remember if you had to have one. During my run for the level of Awesomeness, I always aimed for gold at least, and if I got a diamond than that was okay. But then again I played when there were like 1,000 people online.

 

Just do what you've been doing...play an hour or so a day, then move on.

If the goal is indeed just to shaft players, I agree. But I played a LOT of Guitar Hero back in the day, long after the plat, solely for leaderboard purposes. I wasn't that good, granted (though I was better than most still), but I did so anyway.

[Bumperklever]

I think you are not good enough for the plat cup yet >:)

You're just beeing paranoid and melodramatic. In basically every major game with an online mode you will find these people. And they sure as hell don't do it so can't get your precious plat lol.

[Lordguwa]

there's a trophy that requires getting 1 diamond from the online cups.... it takes about 3 month's of constant daily's without the requirement.

ps3/ps4 doesn't have that requirement making it far easier to get despite being time consuming.

I got it on the vita because I heard it was the best version. In this thread there's a link somewhere and it was one of the top players commenting on the rayman forums. He said he had rayman on PS3 and PS4 but got bored quick because of the amount of people playing and getting gold/diamond cups which in his eyes were seen too easy and effortless. In a nutshell, he strictly plays the vita version because of it's smaller niche. Diamond cups are everything to him. They're nothing for me though other than a trophy

Quite possibly but I'd like to think I'm better than average. I'm a perfectionist too when it comes to a complete 100% score so I said I wouldn't give up with this one but if I'd known all this beforehand, I might have steered clear of it :/

The challenges themselves are easy to obtain gold after a few tries... except for the get as many lums as possible, those are quite annoying. But getting diamond I'm like FUUUUUUUUUUUU

Well... A friend of mine warned me of this discussion, so I have to discuss a few to clear some points :

 

- Don't make misinterpretations of what I said elsewhere. If you had read more carefully what I said, I only pointed out the PS4 version, where too much diamonds are granted and only on this version (PS3 and WiiU have the good number and I said also a BETTER number than on Vita). But if I said that, it's not simply because too much people can have a diamond cup, but because of the MAJOR result of that situation : players don't have to make their best to finally have a cup, they simply have to do the minimum efforts. And my play phylosophy on rayman legends challenges is to make the best you could do (not necessary each time, but most of time). More thant that, I assume to be a specialist on distance challenges (by the way, I was first a murfy specialist, then a pit also, then a tower also and finally a land too (and dojo max at the end) but it took me very much efforts with more than one year and a half to be a real specialist on all these challenges), so I do the best I could do on these challenges, and a lot of good players could also make, and easily, same good distances like 10km to 30 km, but they almost never do it on PS4, and why ? because it needs only, much lower distances, so much less time, to have a diamond cup. So obtain the first place with making only 10km on a pit when 100 other players will have also a diamond cup is, at the same time, a nonsense, a frustrating situation for who want to compete a little with the others, and especially have no real interest when you want to see the REAL level of players who don't show it...More than that, it's not a good situation for the will to make improvements on challenges, because you have the best reward (the diamond) without do a lot...so a lot of players spoil their potential talent for these challenges, and this is a really sad in the point of view of someone who has searched to understand the limit of this game (and a thing you could not probably understand : how overpass some glitches at higher distances even if you are the only player on earth to be interest in)

 

However, it's not really the case on PS3 and even more on WiiU, with less players, very good players, who compete each other and show very often their extraordinary and incredible abilities : A player made douzen of 100 km runs on pits only to sometimes hope to catch the old world record of 220km, he never gave up, spend 6 to 10 hours for ONE single run each time and then finally reached this with 232 km. you probably think it's also a stupid player, but you can not imagine what sort of difficulties,  strategies, frustrations he had to understand to finally do that (especially the diffciculties aren't not the same at 30km or 60km or 120 km) . I can a bit imagine that, and my reaction is not to insult him but congrat him to have overpass his limits with even changing its manner to play to go so far. It's very stimulating when you feel you have reached another level of mastership. On the same, on WiiU, there are no trophies at all, but the level is insane and if you thought a 32 km score is a lot, what do you think about a guy that make 2 times that distance almost each time he plays since 2 years ? (even if it's the only on earth to know how to do that) another virgin people I suppose... (btw, I have a wife and I probably played videogames before you were born...)

- And if you had not read only my first intervention you would have probably understand that...-

 

- You don't know why I prefer Vita version, and it's absolutely not because of the smaller niche : you don't even imagine how I would have so much love much more players play on vita like at the beginning I played, with all the good players they were at this time (and for informations this is also another, minor, reason I continue to play : to give a tribute to these legendary players who have stopped to play and made 33km scores which made me stunning somehow, and I'm the only left for that (with exceptions time to time)). I play on Vita, first because of the challenge "murfy's dungeon as far as you can" : it's the only challenge of this type on any other console (the touchscreen version on WiiU is totally different and absolutely not fun to play), and learn how overpass all its traps was one of my best challenge of my videogame life.

Second, Vita is the only version where ALL the players play with the same weapons : they have the same sword (same pad), they have the same shield (the screen is the same for everyone, this include the same input lag that is not the case, depends on the TV you can play elsewhere, so the reactivity of your character) the input lag is the best you can find (the reactivity is higher that anywhere else) and finally they play inevitabily alone (so no score of co-op between alone scores that lead to unfair leaderboard)

And Third, as for me, it's especially NOT for diamond cups : if I would have want this cup I would have simply to do 10km, play one quarter of an hour and it will be gained, it would be so easy to do that...(btw a lot of old players on vita always did that to have a diamond, and some do that pretty often even now, that was indeed their major aim for a best place in the general ranking, but not me...) and when I make 20km, I would not play again to search to beat this score to go to 30 km (and this is what I do almost each time). and this is absolutely not to forbid tophies hunter to have a stupid diamond cup (yes you are totally paranoid lol ! ) But, I simply have other goals to reach you can't imagine their signification :

For example, I bind myself to go to 30km+ on a land to search to understand how overpass the glitch that occur after 32.8km, sor this is for this one second, this tiny one second when the problem has to be solved I need to play 40 minutes to reach this point (and no "1 hour", this is why this is often the distance challenge the most players reach 30km one day : on vita more than 10 players did that, one day...), with the only hope one day I could find a good resolution of it..Perhaps it's stupid, for you but I have not time to look behind me if someone has reached 3000m or 10km, it's not where my gaze is turned, and finally after 30 challenges over 30km I recently managed to succeed, finally, a bit, few glitches even if it's not the final solution, but it's already a great victory for me. (and you could not even imagine what I had to change to play to go to a 30km point : it take me one year to go there, whereas before the land was my weak point, and I could do at best 10km, and only when I know in advance where the major difficulties were (so it involved a lot of die and retry) before I thought to totally change some of my previous technics)

Another example is on tower where I reached two times more than 20km (a very rare point possibly reached on all supports) after one complete year of great efforts to pry to not be catch by glitches, but where each time my Vita crashed without the possibility of saving... (c2-12281 error or something like that). Here also, I need to improve myself and search new technics, test them, and I need to be more consistency to repeat that at least for only one score saved...

You probably think my scores are ridiculous and I have no need to go so far (or sometimes thinking is a cheat score), or I despise other players, but on another point of view, for me, these scores aren't enough accomplished, I need to improve myself, I'm absolutly not at the best I could ever do (except perhaps on murfy's challenges, where I finally reached an ultimate point...after 150 challenges to reach this level, but this was for one day, and I'm not able to do that each time) because I make too much mistakes at some points and I clearly not know all the secrets of some paths (but I will to know them)

And more than that, I don't want to be proud of myself and rest on my laurels : it will clearly be the decrease of my abilities (this is why for another, and last, example I always force myself to go over, at least, over 20km on a pit, even if it's sometimes boring (one hour to play that), to prepare a bigger run (like over 60km) I would need to do later) : practice is always necessary I think, and the diamond is not a goal at all (I left/gave several diamond cups for other players on this challenge with not saved scores or avoid the "special last 10km place glitch" that lead to a gold cup for the player behind me)

 

- It's difficult for me to correctly express what I really want to say, because it's not my native language and I'm sorry if my english is not very clearly understandable, but be sure I hope you will reach your trophy aim (and like I say elsewhere I made all the videos I could make to help people to improve, and gave all advices honest players ask me to know to go further at any difficult path I know how to suceed). However, I also hope you could understand some players have fun outside having a simple platinum trophy (for fun you can notice that marcelchi who is probably the player who has played the most on vita with more than 45 millions of lums collected and 540 diamond cups, has not even 70% on rayman legends and has no interest of platinum) and can find great achievements with compete and/or scoring and/or explore countries only a little handle of other players know really and/or explore the limits a player can reach on this game and/or simply have fun to play each day and discover new challenges for itself. I'm not a trophy hunter, or a hunter of trophy hunters ^^'' so no need to insult me, try to understand a few some of my motivations, even you can sometimes be frustrating or angry. This is not my fault if this diamond trophy was only delivered on PSVita, and I think I probably don't have to be injured for that, whereas some same "specialists" on other versions of this game play with much less pressure and without bad feelings towards them....

 

P.S : to answer to the major question of this topic : the murfy's challenges glitched before 800m were at the 18/03/15 then at the 07/12/15 then at the 29/08/16 then at the 18/10/16. More than that, since January 2015, 8 challenges were (same) glitched at 4095m. (but more difficult to reach indeed)

 

P.P.S : I have fun on other videogames, and other hobbies; don't worry for me ^^

@ArkiokinThank you for providing your perspective Arkiokin. Prior to reading your post, I often wondered why one would continue to dedicate a tremendous amount of time into obtaining the best scores in daily/weekly challenges. In all honesty, I thought some folks continued to top leaderboards to prank newcomers yearning for their first diamond cup. 

 

From what I gathered, you enjoy not only the game itself, but the challenge for which it provides. Perhaps that is why many folks become trophy hunters, speed runners, and/or leaderboard achievers. After all achieving a challenge, whether it be a trophy requirement, or a personal gamer goal (e.g faster speed run, greater distanced traveled during endurance challenges) can be quite gratifying.

 

Happy gaming everyone and @ChristIllusion12 I have faith you will obtain that diamond cup ?

Edited February 25, 2017 by vanillamoose

[ChristIllusion12]

@Arkiokin Firstly, I owe you an apology. I'm siding with @vanillamoose in terms if you enjoy the game and the challenge then fair play, in my mind from what I've read in your extremely lengthy reply, you're not doing it to prank new comers:)

 

Again, sorry in advance but my reply isn't going to be as lengthy as yours. I see where you're coming from at how many people who play Rayman on PS4 can get a diamond without any real level of skill going into it and how it doesn't feel like competition to you. But in my eyes, I'd prefer that... if I could get a diamond cup easier that way I would but I won't for 2 reasons

1) When I get trophies, I won't do multiple formats of the same game 

2) I read that Rayman on the PS Vita was the best port

 

Don't get me wrong, I always play the game for fun first and for trophies second but if an opportunity came where I could find an easier way to get something I would. I'm not a cheater or a hack by the way but I've played similar games with multiplayer where it was split between trophy hunters and those who wanted to be the best and it can be often frustrating. 

 

Just out of curiousity, how can you be stimulated to play the challenges on Rayman almost every day? do you not get bored? I'm not attacking you but from experience, I would play a game every day but then boredom sinks and I'd have to play something else. But on a serious note, I have tried getting the diamond cup legit as well, at one point, there was a weekly extreme as far as you can go challenge (tower) and I tried every day for hours and I could not beat 1800km - I think I was rank 12 in the end. I agree practise makes perfect, but some of the challenges I keep trying and trying and trying and I'm getting nowhere with it and I'm like how are these top players doing this? I can see your side as well in wanting to better yourself, a lot of it is really luck based though (I'll explain in a bit) but I remember the days when I used to play the simpsons wrestling and that satisfying feeling I had when I beat Mr Burns after 2 days of non stop practise but I was 11 back then, I'm 27 now... and yeah, you probably have played games before I was born, I think everybody has but still embrace the N64, PS1 and Mega Drive - they're still fun today

Like I say, you've already confirmed you're not prank new comers or forbidding trophy hunters from obtaining a diamond cup. I wouldn't go as far as to express it as paranoia... well actually, you got a fair point on that one. Reason being, is that I'm doing so many games with multiplayer trophies at the moment because I want to get them all out of the way before they shut the servers down and the platinum's become unobtainable - I've already had 2 games fuck me over so far. I would HATE for Rayman to be another game to screw me out of a platinum especially after the months of challenges you have to do to reach the final level of awesome (then getting the diamond cup on top...) so call it paranoia on that front. 

 

Your english is spot on, but yeah I get your point of view as well. If you have done videos, can you send me a link please if it'll help me as well as benefit other players? I dread the murfy challenges as I get to a part where the wind is blowing and murfy will jump and there's 3 blocks of spikes that you have to move but you always seems to die after hitting one of them. Problem is though it seems to be different each time where the spikes are in a different position or murfy will jump too high or too low making it hard to get familiar with the routine. 

 

Again, can only say sorry mate. If you love the game and the challenges then credit needed where credit due I have looked at marcelchi... along with CoolStarToby, KerryTarot among others, better players than me when it comes to Rayman hands down. 

 

Cheers for answering the question about glitched challenges, I did have a glitched murfy challenge the other week... not to where I could get a free diamond cup but where enemies randomly spawned and disappeared making some obstructions either easier or harder to get past. The sooner I get this game beat, the sooner I can start and finish Origins. 

 

Again, didn't mean to sound pissy before, not your fault to be honest so sorry again

Yes, it's exactly that feelings I want to experiment and feel (among other things like curiosity, or feelings to have grown up oneself suddenly or the special stress, when all your body aspen and you don't manage to control your hands when you reach an unexpectable point (and the murfy challenge was the best for that, among all the others challenges ^^ ))

Thanks to have understand it, and so much better if my explanations would have (a bit) give a reason why some players continue to play after platinum.

I totally understand your worries about the (future) end of the servers, and so I understand also why you could be so nervous and frustrated. I accept your apologies of course and I will answer (more quickly) to your questions :

 

If I play Rayman each day, It's first because of all the reasons I said before for distance challenges + other more technical reasons. For example on ALL murfy's challenges I note the exact place of all the major diffciulties in order to make a sort of cartography of each level and which sort of difficulty it was, when reaching a same distance : for example it's sometimes much more harder to make 10km with 5 major difficulty points to succeed than reach 20km with only one; so the max distance is not only my goal but also I like to know how much harder it was and so make my own statistics in order to see if I really improve my skills or if I decrease. It's also an help to anticipate the difficulties when I play again and again on the same challenge, and try to not die at the same point, and so, go further. For the others distance challenges I make also general statistics but it's not for help like than in a murfy, it's just to keep an eye for a not decrease level on this challenge (like I said before it's not good to be too self-confident : what you succeeded one day will not be what you will succeed tomorrow). And with that, there are also leaderboard with all distance records for all versions of Rayman legends, so the possibility to make a real Worl record could also be a motivation (even if I get all the distance world record on vita, compare with the others consoles could be sometimes give another aim to continue to improve) and the distance challenges are the only one where a comparison make sense between all the versions and the achievements of all the players who play rayman, regardless on which the system is played.(except for murfy's distance challenges, where 4 totally different gameplay exist)

 

For the other challenges, it's mostly because I always find fun in some challenges, and even if I'm not very strong at speed challenges (I have only gold except sometimes on some weekly challenges), I like to realize I make some improvements even if these improvements are really minor (and because I don't search to obtain a diamond cup on these challenges I don't search to learn better technics with videos but only by myself, it's more satisfying.) So i continue to play challenges which give fun for me. But honestly there are challenges I stop to play for ages because they have no more interest for me (I hate speed pits and murfy's speed lums. so the only fun I found in this last challenge is to make the worst time possible, it's only a challenge now for me lol) and a lot of others I play time to time, depends on if it's not too frustrating or if can use technics I like or not...

 

For my videos, Search Kalkin27 on youtube, but, for most of all, it's the only videos on Vita distance challenges and, in each gameplay video, I give links to all the others. for example try this if you're interest with murfy's challenges : 

 

murfy 7400m

 

And search also the video on 6400m

the problem you have encoutered it's pretty simple to solve : simply push down the first pillar as soon as possible, and you will always a same configuration (except on one, rare, configuration I named an "alpha" where you have to do more than that and this configuration is the only that appear to have a chaotic behaviour, but which need in fact extremly specific moment to low the pillar and if you failed, there is also a possibility to not die (for example yesterday on the murfy's challenge the first alpha wast at 4650m, but it was just a problem for me because no one else reached this point, and I died on the 4th alpha of the run) Choosing rayman for that is more simple to succeed (with more time to push down) and could be choosed for all "beginner" player on this challenge rather than globox

 

And yes, I believe I know what sort of glitched you encountered, but it was not really a glitch, simply a more harder configuration you could escape even if an ennemie appear (and the more harder than that configuration, which often appear like a glitch configuration, and where only a few player manage to succeed is sometimes encounter and I named it "omega" I made also a video to explain how overpass it)

 

Search also my land videos tutorials, I also explain how pass the problem many players have at 2690m (a specific vita land problem you don't have elsewhere). Probably if you manage to go to this point and succed it, you will have diamond.

 

Sincerely good luck!
