We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
I enjoy trophies, but don't necessarily consider myself a trophy hunter. When I was younger I would make my own checklists to track game completion (i.e. collected all Materia in FF7, level 99, etc.). As such, trophies became my way of tracking completion, hence why I have a generally lower overall game count but a higher completion rate.
The other aspect of trophies I have enjoyed is going back to games I previously beat to find new challenges. As you'll see from my card, I'm currently playing Doom 3 on the PS3. Despite finishing all the campaigns back in 2013, I decided to go back and try to beat all the campaigns on the highest difficulty.
Overall, level progression is not something I've really tracked myself, as I consider trophies markers of personal progression on each individual game. However, I'm glad to see Sony continues to evolve the feature and people are happy with the proposed changes.
Always forget they have the trophy level thing. Think mine is 25 and has been for like a year. A good and long overdue change.
YesI'm confused, they changed the levels - finally - to 999, but basically it's gonna be the same F thing in the end?
"..if your current Trophy level is 12, your new level will jump to somewhere in the low 200's."
If you really *really* wanted to cheese it, you could spend a ton of Ratalinka games in every region and have 300+ platinums in no time.
Around the beginning of the gen I believe there was a sweepstakes based on your trophy count/level. It quietly got shut down because Sony has literally never policed hackers as you can easily have a 1000 platinum account with cfw.
PS5 will feature trophy progress tracking for individual trophies
The French blog post seems to include a line that the English version didn't. Here's the translation which I've checked with someone and the translation is correct: https://blog.fr.playstation.com/2020/10/07/explication-des-modifications-bientot-apportees-aux-niveaux-de-trophee/ Shame it...

Wish granted.
"All of these updates will be automatically implemented on the system side, starting later tonight (North America) / tomorrow (Europe)."
Yeah I don't really like this. Gaining a trophy level was cool before because it took sooooo long. I won't care if I go from level 232 to 233 to 234.
This is cool, i think the system needed a shakeup for the new gen, im level 15 so should be quite high!
They today for NA and tomorrow for Europe. Presumably that means that the change will be made at the same time, which will be after midnight in all of Europe but before midnight in all of NA. That means sometime between 0100 and 0600, Central European Time.
Anyone know why it's 999 for platinum and not 1000? Just bothers me being so closed to a nice round number like that...
Can someone explain the tech behind how this will be automatically implemented? It doesn't sound like there will be a system update. Was this buried in a previous update and no one datamined the new icons or something?
God, this is such a welcomed change holy shit.
My guess would be that the various UIs that this needs to slot into accept a three-digit number with no problems but might have to resize a four-digit one.
It's a server-side update. It's unlikely that the icons and new system were buried in a previous update, but very likely that some previous update (perhaps years ago) just told the trophy UI to look for new rules/icons on the server side whenever it synchronised.
So only people at level 999 will have the platinum trophy icon. Wonder if there's anybody on the planet who will actually have that from today? My numbers are similar to those in the picture so I will probably have a bronze icon despite collecting trophies since they were first introduced lol.
Honestly, this is a reason I prefer gamerscore to trophies. It's just a number. No complicated meta leveling system.
By the way I'm level 13 with only 1200 trophies and 4 plats. That seems low for being level 13?
hopefully Sony has made it super easy for devs to implement this tracking feature. It's nice that it's there, but it's only valuable if the devs actually use it.
This is a whole lot of nothing. The only important change here is trophy progress.
Hopefully they'll be a time stamp for games.
Hopefully they'll be a time stamp for games.
Was it really though? You wouldn't even know you went up a level unless you were really paying attention and it being so slow usually means you weren't. The trophy icon changing automatically makes it much more noticeable and far more interesting than the number part.
That is more than the amount of games I've played in total holy fuck.
Well he seems to be right, at least on this one:

Oh wow surprised to find I'm at level 12 w/ absolutely no platinums. Same login since PS3 also... I blame ADD and public schools 😅
A broken clock will be right at some point.Well he seems to be right, at least on this one:
