Has Playstation confirmed that trophy progress will come with the next patch?

 

On PS5 only

[NibiNoKitsune]

The biggest unanswered question is what the new level thresholds will be. If it scales RPG-style continuously (rather than capping the level-to-level difference at level 13) it could be alright.

 

Personally, I wish the timing were a little better. I'm expecting to hit level 20 tonight, and that'll no longer be an accomplishment.

Yeah, I was at 97% so I just rushed and hit Level 62 just to get one more level for the last time before the system switches over.

Thanks!

That is certainly great news. Many times have i grinded for a trophy wondering if it was bugged. With tracking that problem is gone (assuming it's a trophy that can be tracked, i.e something you have to do more than 1 time)

Only on PS5, they aren’t adding it to the PS4 or 3 consoles. That was leaked in an article on a French website, it was posted earlier in the thread.

Wish it would to PS4 for the sole reason I want to know how close I am in Super Bomberman R!

Me to man, would have been very helpful for a lot of games this gen. 

[Sn1per666999]

This change would make sense if maybe the top 10 on the leader boards reach 999 when PS6 releases but it seems more like they will automatically be at 999 or very close to it. I hope the scale is adjusted properly for the last 200 levels.

I wonder what time this update is going to start rolling out.

Just change the trophy ping to the Kirby Air Ride checklist chime . There was way more satisfaction from getting the surprise notice that you earned a thing, but just don’t find out what exactly it was until later.

I personally like the crash bandicoot gem earning sound. ?

When we least expect it.

[Kulzyc]

So we caping again? WHY ARE WE CAPING AGAIIIN??? Cmon sony how difficult is it to just put a millions levels and just let us go up to infinite and beyond

[William Faure]

What if they're just changing the amount of points required between levels, instead of changing values? I mean, it's said on PS Blog that all those who are currently Lv. 12 will be around Lv. 200. How can they say that for sure if trophy values change? They must be using points as reference. Like, Lv. 12 is worth 16,000 points = Lv. 200 will be worth 16,000 points.

[striker_legacy]

Don't understand why they they just remove the cap and add levels beyond 100. Steam's leveling system goes up to 5,000, when most of the people who don't shell out money to level up are well under 100 or even 50 

[GUDGER666]

I feel sorry for those that were close to hitting the level 100 lol. Be even worse for those that have OCD, they will see 999. 

[Omelette Paradise]

Personally I would have preferred it if they'd kept the current system but boosted the cap to Level 200, 300, or whatever. Seeing my trophy level jump overnight from Level 66 to Level 700 or whatever it ends up being is going to feel weird.

 

Also why 999 and not 1,000? 

[GUDGER666]

I don't think we are going to be as high as we think we will be. I bet the Gold levels will require a lot more points to level up. 

[realm722]

Scorching hot take: I love the new platinum symbol. Love how it has the 4 play buttons. Beautiful color. Gives me a fluorescent vibe. 

[AJ_Radio]

The levels don't mean shit at this point. If this was still 2008 - 2012, having a high PSN trophy level actually meant something because a good number of games required effort.

 

Even Hannah Montana and Terminator Salvation, both of which were regarded as 'joke' platinums, took a hell of a lot more effort to get than a good number of games today.

 

I think a rarity leaderboard would of been more fit, PSNTrophyLeaders has one but it's leaderboards are completely skewed to where they don't mean much of anything. That website barely gets any activity anyway.

 

Give the players lacking skill and dedication more rewards, leave the guys who put more effort into their games less convinced to trophy hunt in the first place.

 

A new experience for fans for the new generation of gaming? More like Pussification of the Trophy System.

 

Not too happy with this. The new trophy icons are just meh. There was no need to change them from the old ones we currently got.

 

I wanted changes, but these were not the changes a lot of us were asking for. At least I've been more active on Steam, this may convince me to play on that platform moreso.

They want to make sure you don't die if an enemy casts Lv.4 Death

 

As for me, this is going to mess with my recently acquired taste for paying attention to which trophies I wanted for my level history (sort of weird milestones probably no one cares about) oh well

What a completely pointless update. 

 

Why can't actually improve the trophy system for once? 

 

Like adding progress tracking for individual trophies like what Xbox currently does. 

 

Or the ability to delete games where you've only earned a single trophy. 

 

Or how about doing something about the trophy hackers. 

 

But nope here's some shitty looking new icons lmao. 

they confirmed there would be trophy tracking on ps5 but quickly deleted it

They have those already, they’re called difficulty trophies  

I mean for games that don't have difficulty trophies. So many choose to put the game on the easiest setting and blast through just for the plat. It'd be nice if the people that actually bother to challenge themselves got something for it.

You're complaining about everything under the sun trophies becoming too easy and you think your savior is going to be......Steam?

Steam is where achievement spam games were born and still breed, out in the open, with it all hanging out so everyone can watch. It's also VASTLY easier to cheat achievements on Steam than on any other platform and detecting is nearly impossible if the cheater uses their head. It's a constant issue for trackers and hunting communities alike.

Most people don't care at this point, but I'm one of a select few who still games on the PS3/Vita. How is Sony going to treat the trophies on there? The worst thing that can happen is Sony ending all trophy support for those systems, which will happen inevitably, but it is much too soon.

 

A trophy tracker is something I wanted to see for years. This entire system is catering to the casuals who just play a few games per year, and for those at the top of the leaderboards so their obsession compulsion disorder goes on high alert status for chasing meaningless PSN trophy levels.

 

Just a stupid change in my opinion. It literally screams 'Participation Award', give the kids who bitch, piss, moan and complain an award so they'll feel better. It makes good games like Sonic Mania worth even less in trophy value, while all the shitty Ratalaika games reward a platinum, as a matter of fact six platinum trophies if you do all the stacks for some of them.

 

The new system will just get me caring less. Maybe I'll set a goal for 15,000 trophies or so, get at least a few trophies in every game left on my backlog, then call it quits.

 

Xbox at least has an achievement tracker and other nifty things, probably because they've been the underdog for the past several years. Sony? Let's ignore the trophy hackers and just pad the trophy system with more bullshit.

I don't bother with any Steam achievements. I play games on there purely for fun.

 

Sony in comparison -HAD- a system where it was a bit more fair, and of course the iconic DING sound every time a trophy pops. But with these changes, this makes the system more worthless.

 

My gaming history goes back far longer than just trophies.
