Brenden Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I think a couple of more ranks (D/E) should be implemented, it would make the system a lot better imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImperatorA3 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 But would it be possible to introduce, say, a "D" rank for a fixed 0%? I know the other rank percentages aren't fixed but I think (like the "S" rank) a fixed 0% rank would be a nice touch Yeah that would be nice.

Lil_Mermaid_Girl Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I agree with a default D rank for games that are at 0%. I don't think it will turn people away from the site because they don't like to see that, if it's at )% and on their profile I'm sure they realise it's not much to brag about and a bad grading right lol? I was just looking at the profiles, and I think it would be nice to be able to sort our games by grade also, in the same we can by percentage. So for grade it would be A's at the top sorted by percentag within A's. I'd like to be able to group all my lower graded ones together and see if there's any I can improve, be nice to see them all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can already sort them by percentage completed...which is almost the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have B's thrown in with my A's and C's in with the area with most of my B's. I agree this wouldn't be a super high priority, but I'd still like to see it someday. Instead of sorting maybe we could click on a letter and it take a new page that lists only our games that are ranked with that letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civilred1 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I think there definitely needs to be more ranks because the fact that you can get an "A" with 35% doesn't really tell you much about your performance in the game. Also, an average ranking would be pretty cool, because just having the Average Completion doesn't account for the difficulty of the games in question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

civilred1 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 If getting an A doesn't tell you that you're doing better than average then why would any other ranks? No, I mean if an A can be earned by achieving 35%, then it doesn't tell you where you are in all that much detail as it hands the award to people who have a completion level anywhere within a 65% range. If you added D, E and F grades for example, then you could award the A grade at higher completion levels, giving greater precision to you at a glance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take a look earlier into the thread (actually, it's quoted higher up on this page) you'll see the reasoning for it. It's to match a popular ranking system, so it's traditional in a sense.

If you take a look earlier into the thread (actually, it's quoted higher up on this page) you'll see the reasoning for it. It's to match a popular ranking system, so it's traditional in a sense. The rankings are based on the %age earned by the player against the average %age for the game. If there are more ranks then you can have narrower bands for each grade, so less variation over the course of the grade. As we have 4 ranks, S, A, B and C then it seems reasonable to assume that each rank represents 25% of players. (S for the top 25%, C for the bottom 25% etc.) By adding just one extra grade, the boundaries for each grade change so that instead each grade represents 20% of the players. So therefore the more grades there are available, the clearer your standing within the community. If, say, 4 more grades were added, then those receiving a 'G' would know that they were in the bottom 12.5% of players whereas at the moment those who would be in that band (and have 'C' ranks) only know that they are in the bottom 25% of players. Notice that under this system, the 'C' rank would apply to those who would have a low 'A' currently. This assumes that the grades are allocated with an equal number of players per grade, but I trust you get my point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say only one out of one hundred guys has a Platinum for a game. That S only represents 1% of the players. It's all dependent on everyone else's percentage, so you can't really generalize the amount of players to a letter grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I realise that the grades don't have equal %ages, I just used that as an example to illustrate my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadeSplit Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I've never taken much value from those ranks. I think the space would be better used by having a platinum trophy icon for the games in which you've earned it, rather than that platinum colored bar on the side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenKP Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I would add an U (Unplayed) for 0%, like the S for 100%. Is there an explanation at the page about this, beside this thread? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarakKol33 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I have 2 "E" ranks for games that a friend of mine let me test them out, so I think "E" is definitely the lowest rank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SitusKiss Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 "E" ranks are for games that you have earned, at least, one trophy but, not many more. The lowest rank you will see is an "F" for a game that you installed but, never earned a trophy in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sukezaemon32 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 It's not entirely that, certain games like Killzone 3 and Capcom Arcade Cabinet can still show F ranks with just one trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starrk_01 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I'd make it alphabetical, because right now I have no idea what rank is higher than other (S maybe?). Let's say A for the best, B for the second best, then C, D, E... The rankings are as followed (from highest to lowest) S, A, B, C, D, E, F You can only get an S for 100% a game, while in the overwhelming majority of times the only time you can get an F is if you have 0%. This ranking system mimics some games such as the Naruto games and Resident Evil 5, to mention a few, so it is not out of ordinary. Hope this helps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drevviill Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 so, if a game has dlc's and i won't get them , can't get a S rank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starrk_01 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 This is true, but don't let this stop you getting games with DLC or buying DLC that you do not want. Ultimately your level depends on how many trophies and what types of trophies you have, not how many 100% you have. so, if a game has dlc's and i won't get them , can't get a S rank?

You can use a translate tool like Google Translate if you need to. Quote After its would be well to rank on all psn players and not on the psn profile site Yes, that might be nice, but that would be a LOT of data that I doubt Sony would appreciate people pulling without permission. And Sony doesn't even remove accounts that go from level 0 to 100+ instantly, so there would be no point in ranking everyone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
