Popular Post Zhao_Yun16 Posted October 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2020 2 minutes ago, h4mx0r said: Interesting, I wonder what drove this change? I think they just want to make all players more interested in trophy hunting by increasing the feeling of actual progression. It's not really motivating if you only have 1 level up per year or even less. Obviously it won't make a difference for hardcore trophy hunters but it could be for the more casual audience. 19 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? Yeah, just on the site 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver-I-Chariot Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) Does anyone even give a shit? I mean, at the moment I have no idea what my "level" is and I can't be bothered to look it up. All that matters is the platinum count and completion rate. New trophy features would be cool for sure, but this certainly isn't it. Edited October 7, 2020 by Silver-I-Chariot 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post NathanielJohn Posted October 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2020 Well that went from "great!" to "what the hell?" really quickly. 27 minutes ago, Aranea Highwind said: We’re increasing the Trophy level range from the current “1-100” to “1-999,” Great! I've been stuck at level 100 for over a year now, and top trophy hunters like Hakoom have been stuck there for 4 or 5 years. This change is long overdue. 28 minutes ago, Aranea Highwind said: For example, if your current Trophy level is 12, your new level will jump to somewhere in the low 200’s. Wh...what? Why? So despite adding more levels, they're making it *easier* to hit the cap? Why? My wife doesn't trophy hunt. At all. Like she doesn't even know what trophies are, and she's currently level 14. With this new update she'll be what... level 250? At least the old system was on a scale that agrees with how people typically think about "levels". In this new system you hit level 200 just for existing. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggypossum Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 https://blog.playstation.com/2020/10/07/upcoming-trophy-levelling-changes-detailed/ A quick tour of the enhancements rolling out tonight for Trophies. Toshimasa Aoki Director, Product Management, SIE 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny how this blog post mentions the satisfaction of unlocking an "ultra-rare platinum trophy" before proceeding to discuss a system under which raw platinum count is going to be more "valuable" to level progression. Rewarding rarer trophies would have been cool but I guess they need to make even more money off players that spend unholy amounts of cash on pay-to-plat games...

Popular Post JagKenobi Posted October 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2020 I just realized that the last three years, I've paid extra attention to the trophy on which I dinged a new PSN level so from 19-28, it's all been very carefully engineered and now that's going to all have been for nothing. I guess that's what I get for making more of trophy hunting than need be! 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krove-34 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Useless. We want an official ranking directly on the console, stats for the trophies (number of kills remaining etc ...) , and new lvl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varhur Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I don't really see the point of this change. Upping the cap, sure, but not why the levelling needs to be super quick now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeCheck-- Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 What the? Bronze levels, silver levels, etc? Seems unnecessary. Although there are some bronze that should really be silver or gold so this will give them more value and consistent leveling is nice. A change is needed after over a decade but I'm not sure if I like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Orenn16 Posted October 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2020 We’ll have to see what it looks like tonight, but I worry everyone is going to launch to the 999 mark with this update. And it still leaves the poor folks capped at 100 capped, just at 999 now. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Also means games without Plats will be skipped even more - I do like the idea of a trophy level though! Also the Platinum image is ugly, please do not change it @pengaleng90 check this weird trophy update out Edited October 7, 2020 by MikeCheck-- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoszek Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Maybe "exp" to reach higher levels when a player hits gold will be much much higher? Otherwise like ppl said most of lvl 100 accounts will already be capped at 999.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Azaan60 Posted October 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2020 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. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefourfoldroot Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 At least they are thinking about trophies. I was concerned they would let the system die. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 This is definitely unexpected and, after I read the details, it also seems weird. I am almost at level 43 and I have 200 platinums. I hope they don’t put me instantly as level 999. That would be a bit frustrating, because progressing to the old level 100 was hard and it would take many years. I will continue trophy hunting as usual, though. Maybe because I am now in a level that satisfies me, I don’t care so much about leveling up as I cared in the past. This change seems to be in line with the effort that Sony is clearly making with their exclusives to make trophy hunting more accessible to everyone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reworking the system to allow users to level up consistently and reach the new levels is decent too. I spend half a year at a level lol. Progress tracking would be welcomed, hopefully with PS5 and maybe even a leaderboard amongst friends on the PS5 UI 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
its_ArchroniX Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I, for one, am very confused with the upcoming changes. Don't really know what was wrong with this system and I don't really think the new system makes a whole lot of sense. So if I understand correctly my overall trophy level (16 for me I assume) will be raised to, what..... 265 or seomthing? What's the whole point...? I don't really care for overall level after all though it's a really weird change ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
