Popular Post Aranea Highwind Posted October 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) You’ve all heard that satisfying sound when a Trophy pops up on the corner of your screen. There’s the sense of accomplishment when that ultra-rare Platinum trophy is unlocked after hours of pursuing. Trophies were first introduced on PlayStation 3, and have been an integral part of the PlayStation gaming experience. Today, we’re excited to announce we’re bringing some enhancements to the Trophy system. New Trophy Levels The first thing you’ll notice is the big change to your Trophy level. We’re increasing the Trophy level range from the current “1-100” to “1-999,” so following this update, your Trophy level will automatically be remapped to a new level within this new range based on the Trophies you’ve earned to date. For example, if your current Trophy level is 12, your new level will jump to somewhere in the low 200’s. The exact level will depend on the number and grades of trophies you’ve acquired. There will be no changes to the Trophies already earned or Trophy information, such as unlock requirements. New Level Calculation Structure We’ve implemented a new Trophies level calculation system that is more optimized and rewarding. Players will progress quicker through the early levels, and levels will increase more consistently. Platinum trophies will count more toward your level progression, making them even more valuable. New Trophy Level Icons With an expanded level range, we’re also updating the trophy level icon on PlayStation 5, as well as PlayStation App at a later date. Currently the Trophies icon is just a single gold star, but we’re adding a few variants: Bronze: levels 1-299 Silver: levels 300 – 599 Gold: levels 600 – 998 Platinum: level 999 The icons will also have a subtle distinction to visually suggest how close you are to the next level. Lastly, just for clarity, Trophies that you’ve earned on previous PlayStation systems will come with you to PlayStation 5, just as they have in previous generation transitions. The new Trophy levels will be reflected in all locations that Trophy levels are shown, including past systems, PS App and My PlayStation. All of these updates will be automatically implemented on the system side, starting later tonight (North America) / tomorrow (Europe). We’re committed to offering an even better experience for our fans as we head into the next generation of gaming. We can’t wait for everyone to start racking up trophies in all the amazing upcoming games that are launching on PS4 and PS5! https://blog.playstation.com/2020/10/07/upcoming-trophy-levelling-changes-detailed/ Edited October 7, 2020 by Aranea Highwind 45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starcrunch061 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Are trophy levels still 1-100? I thought that was changed some time ago. Other than that, I don't know how I like this. Without some sort of hard numbers, it just feels like re-centering the trophy system, they way they did the with the SAT once (moving the center from 700 to 870, for no apparently good reason).. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scemopagliaccioh Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) Seems kinda pointless, 95% of the userbase won't even see another level of bronze, unless the level change is drastically different, and even then, ehhh... Also grades mean rarity, or just silver, gold etc? Edited October 7, 2020 by scemopagliaccioh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking at Hakoom, and his level seems to be 365? Or is that just something on this site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnaires Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 PSNProfiles related question: are these changes going to be applied to PSNProfiles instantly or will it take some time/effort from the dev team? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sites have assumed the same point spread from 99-100 to extend levels beyond 100. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraniteSnake Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I wonder what each of the trophies new points value will be. Seems like a weird change but I don’t think I’ll really understand it until it’s been put in place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post shlomaniac Posted October 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2020 Wait... If people with level 12 account will be boosted to 200ish , wont people in the 60+ level range be in max level already? (900+) I hope this means trophy pop ups will be colorful and not just basic white or black backgrounds. P.S they should the change the plat logo to be more "prestige" and not a button looking one. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post WayfarerFox Posted October 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2020 Hmm not sure if I like the idea of this honestly. Nothing really needed to change, Sony just needed to implement levels 100+ and it would of been okay to leave alone. I wonder how this is going to work honestly. Should be interesting to see. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed that part. Maybe you're right. Just now, GraniteSnake said: that would imply to me that the points earned for platinum trophies would increase Yeah, seems like after a firmware update to PS3, PS4, and Vita, everyone's trophy levels are going to change. It's a little surprising that Sony is going to go through this effort just for trophies at this point. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post starcrunch061 Posted October 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2020 Actually, assuming what's written here, I don't like it at ALL. I mean, if plats really do count more (and right now, I'm just going by what's written), this seems to reward the Rat plats (and worse detritus like Little Adventure on the Prairie, etc.) even more than we already do. 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JagKenobi Posted October 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2020 I don't know that they needed to inflate everyone's levels like this. They could have just modified point values for each grade of trophy (making Platinums worth much more than currently), and expanded max level beyond 100. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. We hadn't heard anything about trophies in regards to the PS5, and while I ahd always assumed that we would get trophies, this seems to offer pretty strong confirmation that trophies are here to stay, levels won't be reset, etc. So, I guess that's good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ahmedelebiary Posted October 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2020 Participation medal for everyone yay what a useless update that nobody asked for tbh, the current system didn't need any changes. But yeah psn lvls became meaningless anyway after the clusterfuck of Ratalaika and similar games stacks. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
