Community Chronicle: 23/03/14

Chronicle-2014leadersticker

It’s time for the second update of the 2014 leaderboard, where we can see the early shuffling of places that has gone on. For a brief introduction to how it works, here’s a recap of AIR‘s explanation:

This leaderboard is going to be ran a little differently to the others in that we will be looking at your percentage gain in trophy points over the course of the year. Now the way to enter is pretty simple and is detailed below along with some other rules:

  1. You must update your trophy card once if already listed on the main board in February or at any point thereafter and this will be used as your “Start Point” for the year.
  2. If you are a new to the TSA Trophy Leaderboard, you will be added upon your first update that I see on the leaderboard.
  3. People deemed to be cheating will be removed from the leaderboard.
  4. The 2014 Leaderboard will be run in tandem with the TSA Trophy Leaderboard, tracking the same trophy card updates.
  5. In the event two or more entrants have the same percentage gain. The person who is highest in the TSA Trophy Lederboard while be ranked higher.

As an aside, PS4 trophies will only show up in your trophy card if you have set these to be viewable by everyone in your privacy settings.

If any questions or suggestions just ask in the comments or in the forum thread.

It’s possible that trophy cards are now updating automatically, as long as you log into the new PlayStation site once, though to be on the safe side, assume that they don’t. So, if you’d like to be counted on the leaderboard, then you’ll need to head over to the forums, and say so in this thread. Doing so will also get you onto the 2014 leaderboard.

With percentage gain the name of the game, Lyts wrestles the lead from Avengerrr’s grasp, while there’s some impressive jumps up and down the field as you look down the table:

  1. And boom, mission accomplished, top of a leaderboard for the first (and likely only) time :-) chuffed with that!

    Cheers for the mention again Tef :-)

    • It’s great to see different names at the top of the boards, and that anyone has an outside chance with some effort, well done.
      It’s ironic though as all recently earned trophies added to the tally subsequently reduce trophy percentage earning potential.

      • Cheers freeze :-)

        Yeah, the people who should do well here are those who are at a low level or have a low trophy count and start hammering the trophies out… My tally will slow down considerably now.

      • Well if you do get low on the games with trophies front and a cleared PS3 backlog then get a Vita, it’s utterly bombarded with games at the moment I’ve found as a newcomer. I think the Vita is a big part of the PS4 kit, although I got the Vita first and will get around to next gen in the near future.
        I mean the PS4 alone won’t be much help with any trophy leaderbards :P

      • Sounds about right freezebug.

        I am going back through my older games on PS3 and the odd PS+ title plus playing the Vita at work or in bed.

        I fly intend to buy a PS4, which was a big factor in picking up a Vita, however am in no rush to do so.

        The PS4 launch seems better than the PS3 launch, due to the Indie support, however I’m happy to wait until nearer Christmas, when there are more big titles out, more freebies in my PS+ queue & better bundles on offer due to retailers competing.

  2. “For the rest of you, keep playing those games! I expect to see a flurry of platinum trophies for inFamous: Second Son” – I got the Platinum yesterday ;)
    Cheers for the mention Tef :) Saints Row IV is a mad fun game haha.

    • Jesus Del! hats off for the infamous platty!
      I’m taking my time just sucking up the ambiance.
      I’m gutted that I’ve switched from smoke powers to neon..it feels somewhat less powerful..but really enjoying infamous so far.

      • You can always switch back to smoke if you want. I love the dashing ability of the neon and the wall running makes things much easier but prefer the attacks of the smoke.

        To be honest I wouldn’t want to finish it that quick – I’m enjoying playing it too much and I don’t trade games in so don’t see the point in rushing it… I’ll get the plat this week though.

        Well done Del :-)

  3. I think Yiddo is bang on about the Assassin’s Creed games – yes, nothing so far as lived up to AC2, but the sequels have by no means been bad, just not as good. I used to think Brotherhood and Revelations were pretty poor, but actually I now have quite found memories of them.

    • Really, I think brotherhood is way better than AC2 by a margin

      • Brotherhood was definitely an improvement in terms of gameplay (combat, being able to buy and upgrade shops, having a Brotherhood etc), but I still prefer AC2 overall.

        I think the story was better in AC2, with the development of Ezio from just a teenager into an Assassin, and the other characters like Mario and Da Vinci were memorable.

        I also liked the stark differences in cities between Florence, Venice Rome and Monteriggioni, I think they had more atmosphere and variety than Rome did in Brotherhood.

  4. I do keep meaning to take some pictures of my ‘rig’ but never actually remember, i will do it at some point!

  5. Thanks for the mention too. I think this competition has bought the trophy whore back in me. I don’t know if that is good or bad thing.

    • Same here mate, but it’s kept me busy while waiting for new games :-)

      The FFX and X2 plats will keep me going for weeks so not many trophies for a while now lol

      • Good luck with those plats bud. I’d love to get into FF but never tried it. I know it would eat all my spare time. I know I’m going to get lynched by FF fans here. Thanks for giving me chance to catch you up O:-)

      • Cheers mate, and your welcome ;-) lol!

  6. FFX is the last of the greats in my opinion. Nothing since has come close. It’s going to be an awful long, not to mention challenging, run to the platinum but I thoroughly enjoyed it first time round so not too deterred :-)

    I’ve never played FFX-2 so a bit unsure as to how far I’ll get with that but looking forward to it nonetheless.

    I *might* try and aim for the Remember Me platinum to break up the FF runs a bit but we’ll see – I’m only on chapter 3 on the hard difficulty and it’s kicking my ass!

    • Sorry that was in reply to Divid :-)
