I already have the trophy but I played some matches yesterday for fun and noticed how bad it's becoming with toxic players. Somehow a guy managed to pull and push one person during block party which led to a strong "force" slingshotting/shoving 8-10 players down the pit. I had never experienced this before, but saved a video about it. Then the same person killed me too. Even during memory game a random guy came up to me and slingshot me down Even winning is harder as more and more people reach the end. Why is this toxic though? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO it isn't, it's just playing the game the way it was intended, for fun and chaos. Unfortunately, since the trophy forces people to play in the completely opposite way (always going for the win and playing it as safe as possible, especially if using this exploit), at one point you end up seeing that as just griefing or trolling. Personally, the most I do is loiter around the finish line making emotes because I don't like intentionally making other lose, but fact is, that's also part of the game and can lead to hilarious situations in certain cases. I've even seen people falling WITH you because they were so intent on grabbing, but when not going for the "streak", I'd just have a laugh and go again. Which brings me to my two cents on the "worst trophy" thing. IMHO it isn't the worst list out there (there was a certain game that required you to beat the current leaderboard WORLD CHAMPION. I do think that was technically boostable, but it'll always remain the pinnacle of idiotic "challenge" design for me), nor is it even the hardest, but IMHO it is by far the most unfitting trophy ever conceived. It just doesn't belong in a game like this, which by the devs' own admission was not meant to cater to the hyper-competitive minority and whose minigames are explicitly supposed to require both skill AND luck. If you can pretend it doesn't exist, great, but if you happen to care too much about it, the colorful party game will turn into torture, and sadly, it brings out the worst in a lot of people. On a slightly related note, I wonder if someone will ever be able to explain how the matchmaking works. If it really is skill-based as they say, winning will only get even harder as time passes.

This is how i got it: - I was super lucky with 3 wins in row. - Left one game, then got server disconnect - Won a game - Left 3 games in row - Won a game (got the trophy) Sorry, I'm kind of out-of-the-loop. How do you do this exploit? Just quit the game before you're about to lose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamon-_-Salmon Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Even though I quit the game before it ends I go back to the main menu and still have the same amount of kudos but wait a couple seconds and it just randomly gives me kudos so I assume my streak is up after that. What does it give me random kudos after a few seconds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can confirm, I have a friend working at Mediatonic and he confirmed that they have skill-based matchmaking.

Pinselneo Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 So disconnecting doesn't count as a lose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amebapiko Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Do we quit to the ps4 menu or the game main menu? I find it hard because I had a streak then lost on HEX-A-GONE, when we fall it's too late? I saw my kudos went up but I quit out to the ps4 menu. Any tips? Thx guys.

Which explains why I'm struggling more and more to win Thanks, but what is unclear to me is how is skill measured. Total wins, winrate, season level, amount of 1st place/gold medals, total games played, playtime or a combination of all of those. I think total win number is the most likely possibility, but that's just my hypothesis. 30 minutes ago, Pinselneo said: So disconnecting doesn't count as a lose? There's conflicting reports about this. Many say it didn't for them, but the only thing I can say is check your kudos. If after the disconnect they went up, you most likely lost your streak. 6 minutes ago, amebapiko said: Do we quit to the ps4 menu or the game main menu?

In game menu is the tested method. Options ->Leave show. Tbh I assume it might also work by quitting the app itself, but not gonna risk it, especially since the time needed is almost the same anyway. Unfortunately, if your kudos went up, yeah, it's almost certain you have to start from scratch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You either have to be very cautious and leave the game before reaching the bottom layer if you’re not feeling confident about how it’s going, or you gamble and fully commit to going for the win. If you’re on the bottom layer, there’s no chance of quitting out in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatMuttGuy Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Just now, MikeCheck-- said: Which finale is best to get and which is best to quit? In my opinion, Royal Fumble and Fall Mountain are the easiest to quit out of and be safe. Fall Mountain you can just quit if anyone makes it past the hammer before you. Royal Fumble you can quit if you don't have a clear space between the remaining players at the end. Jump Showdown isn't too hard, but you have no time to quit at all if you mess up. Same with Hex-A-Gone. It really depends on what finale you do best on and what you feel is best for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeCheck-- Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 @Erkawest So quit Fall Mountain? Right away or see if I can get lucky Tips on Royal Fumble? Seems to be tough. Quit the new one for sure and Hex-A-Gon is a quit too or nah? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
