Legendary rarity

[Butella]

How do you guys feell about a new rarity for <1,00% trophies?

 

It would just state "Legendary"

 

Tell me what you think.

[GravityQueeen]

I think theres no need for that. Also "Legendary" sounds too fancy, doesnt it? 

 

But Im not completely against it. Im open for discussion and new ideas

 

Edit: I realized I dislike the term legendary. Its gonna overestimate trophy rarity even more! And, man, we are playing videogames, nothing legendary about it hahaha

I don't think it is needed. UR is good enough.

[dertswa687o]

I think the goal is to mirror the PSN rarity thresholds which obviously only go to Ultra Rare.

[Xillia]

The site is using the rarities that are already on PSN. It'd be strange if we had a made up one.

The descriptors used here are from PSN. While it sounds like a cool idea, I wouldn't want PSNP to deviate from what's being used by Sony.

 

Edit: Just kidding - see below

Actually all if you are wrong.. 

 

The trophy rarity thing actually was copies by Sony from here.. This site has been using the current ranking for years before Sony implemented it on PSN.. 

 

As for the "Legendary", that's just trying to mirror another place.. And it's kind of redundant.. Just like what someone asked before requesting a new upper tier for games above 75% or something. 

 

The current rating is good as it is, no need to further split it. 

 

And always remember rarity means nothing when all the Souls series are Very Rare or more common, really individual trophies rarity means almost nothing, even a massive amount of UR trophies may mean nothing too. 

 

And on top of that, a lot of <1% trophies aren't even that hard (I still wonder how Hustle Kings "Speed Freak" is 0.68%.. The trophy isn't even that hard or time consuming.. And ya, that's still in my top 5 rarest trophies after all this years ?). There's also a lot of trophies that just got rarer because of dlc delisted or server closures.. 

[Butella]

It just accured to me. And figured I'd just throw it out there..

 

I understand the reactions, however I do feell that a below 1% rarity is pretty special whatever the reason.

I think “Very Commum” is more “needed” than any < 1% trophies.

It’s a huge gap for all Commum trophies: 50-100%

 

I think we don’t need another section for 1-10%, two is already enough. Plus, a lot of player don’t have < 1% trophies

It's actually the opposite, Sony copied our rarities, down to the terminologies and percentages  Imitation is the highest form of flattery I guess

I kinda like it, because it would be pretty impressive to get Legendary but most people would only have 1 or 2 legendary trophies, so I'm not sure if it would make too much sense or not 

[Smzthy-]

Yes, we need a Legendary rarity.

 

We need to separate the men from the boys. The disgraceful act of compiling easy UR trophies has taken place for far too long. 

 

We need to expose the fraudsters that intentionally pile up a high UR count filled with easy games. 

 

This can end the epidemic.

 

Marvellous suggestion.

If we add Legendary, someone's going to want Scrub for 90+

Actually when I saw this thread first, I was thinking of making a similar comment, instead of the one I did, but the word that crossed my mind for it was "worthless"...

[Orphioon]

PSNTL has a 'prestige' trophy rarity, for those trophies under 1%, i would like this feature, because there's usually a massive difference between a 4.97% rarity trophy and a 0.50% trophy.

[Banana_Sausage47]

Why fix what isn't broken?

 

Also, didn't Sony say they got the idea for the rarities on PSN from this site?

Let's just do that.

Oh how interesting. When were the rarities implemented in PSN?

Somewhere around 2 years ago, we've had rarities on this site I think since around the time it started like 7 years ago  

[crimsonidol38]

I also would like to see two additional rarities:
Cheater for those who are the sole achiever of any trophy

Casual for those trophies with a rarity of 95% and higher.

I remember the rarities being here since I joined in 2014, but I guess I just assumed that Sony had always had them. Kudos to PSNP; I think there's a whole list of things PSNP does better that maybe Sony could learn from. 

[ExHaseo]

I think this is a great idea. Plats below 1% are most definitely in their own class, I would even argue that it could be less than 2%, because plats that are in the 4.99%-2% range are definitely easier. I can't imagine it would be that difficult to implement, and it would also be pretty cool to be able to say I have X number of "Legendary" plats.

 

I also think having a new rarity would also help push people to do those super difficult less than 1% plats, possibly help drive some new events, and give people who have put in the work some recognition.

 

Because right now, I know that I have zero desire to go for a less than 1% plat, I rarely even want to go for a less than 2%, because I know how difficult and time consuming they are. If there was a separate rarity though, I'd try to go for more.

 

And for events, there's a number of events that use rarity as a point system, and while some already give more points for less than 1%, not all of them do. And introducing a new rarity will kind of force people to give more points for those. As well as possibly give a rise to more events like the Star Ocean event, where people do these super difficult plats.

 

Then lastly, I just think the people who put in the time and effort to get plats like DJ Hero or Super Street Fighter IV definitely deserve some extra recognition for it (Or even those less than 2% like Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed and Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus). But with UR just being UR, those super difficult plats are considered the same as other UR plats like Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories or Arkham City, which are way easier.

Hmm yeah, maybe it should be 2% and under because 1% seems a little too rare, I only have 12 trophies 2% and under  

[itachi-destroyer]

Well, the point of a "legendary" rarity would be to be extremely rare so I think 1% is fine. There is no need for participation trophies  

[Potent_Delusions]

Great idea IMO. Under 1% should definitely be the threshold, seems a little weird to do any other percentage. The whole point of them is for them to be incredibly rare so that threshold is the way to go. We shouldn't be accommodating the rarity around one that enables every user to have a load of them.
