Pottercito_ Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I'm going to create a new user in my PS3 system, but I want to still be able to earn trophies and sync them to my PSN account, is it possible? Nothing will be wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergen Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) You'd have to delete the user that your PSN account is associated with if you want to do this, because your PSN account can't be associated with 2 different users on a PS3. There won't be any issues doing it though, since the PS3 has connected to the internet before the time stamps of your trophies will be accurate.

So you mean that I have to delete the old user, and log in with my psn id (Pottercito_) in the new user before earning my first trophy or then it will get with missing timestamp? That's what I understand. Edited January 12, 2019 by Pottercito_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't get missing time stamps from earning trophies on a blank user, that only happens if the PS3 has never been connected to the internet before.

Oh okay thank you, so I'll delete the main one, create another user and sign in with Pottercito_ PSN Profile and continue my trophy hunting. I've heard that if I sync my trophies the first time in the online mode it will take some time depending on my trophy count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing will be wrong? curiosity question : why do you want to create a new user with the same psn account?...the reason I'm asking is because it will reset all of your settings with regards to preferences like theme, font, messages, saved movies, pics, images, saved data, and such which can all be modified/deleted/added on your current user...your friend and trophy lists will carry over once you sign into psn again...

I don't have theme, movies, images, almost nothing, only trophies. All right to answer you, because I bought a game with some scratches, and I'm going to plat it offline in my main account/user, so in case the game gets damaged and I can't continue earning the trophies, then I will delete that user and create another one, so to keep my completion right, probably It is not going to happen, but in case.

Deceptrox Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 It would be wiser to obtain the platinum trophy first. If you can earn the platinum despite of the disc condition, then you can delete your user if you want and recreate it on your another user. In case the disc is so damaged that you can't get all trophies, you can just delete the new user and problem solve. It is not a good idea to delete your main user (the one associated with your psn account) before making sure you can plat the game stored in the damaged disc.

I see and agree with above response...to be simple, here's what I recommend as an alternative: - do not play this game on your main account... - create blank user... - attempt plat on blank profile entirely offline...as in don't link any email info... - if achieved, back up save data for main account profile either to usb storage device or ps+ cloud... - delete main account user only... - enter main account email/password to blank account with new plat... - sync trophies... - either delete user and recreate main profile (pointless at this point) or upload previously backed up save data to blank user making it your new main account... this saves you from needlessly deleting your main profile user or backing up saves if unachievable...

This does not work with online trophies, probably none in this case, but I would recommend against it, as it may make your profile look strange with games popping up out of nowhere 100%'d, especially if you played other games in the meanwhile. I recommend you just play the games, have fun and get the trophies you get. 2 hours ago, Pottercito_ said: I'm going to create a new user in my PS3 system, but I want to still be able to earn trophies and sync them to my PSN account, is it possible?

Yes, I discourage people doing this, because it does look bad afterwards. Just play the games normal. Completion percentage isn't just pointless, focusing on it may worsen your gaming experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audiopile Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 It puts false positives on MMDE's cheater detector but its not flag-worthy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dzstrpc Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Why not just play the game with the network cable unplugged? If you get the plat plug it back in and sync the trophies. If you don't get the plat do a factory reset on your console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1rvine Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I also strongly discourage using this method. The only reason to use this method, as pointed out by dzstrpc above me, is if you're going to sync different games in between starting and finishing a game on a blank account. This causes an effect of a game appearing out of nowhere, and mimics CFW. Depending on the game and the time involved you may be flagged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pottercito_ Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Ok people I'm doing it offline in my main account just in case not, I will delete the user and create another one, but for the moment I have 30 trophies earned and nothing rare is happening, the game is Harry Potter 6, for some who wants to know. Thank you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pottercito_ Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Okay, to let you all know, I earned the plat and sync it, Im the second fastest achiever, just seven minutes left for the first place, I played this game in PS2 and I spent hundred of hours there, I love Harry Potter (thats why my profile is Pottercito) and I got the plat quick, although I could be the number one in the world, but I ate, I was at bath haha, so thank you all for your replies a new plat #69. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
