okay, I just made Lvl 7 thanks to Wolverine: Origins.

Gotta say, just love hearing that little jingle when you earn a trophy but when i realised i was now Lvl 7, it was all a bit 'meh'.

I'm not asking for trumpets, clouds parting and rays of sunshine beaming down as a choir sings out "level seven!!!"... :smileyhappy: but srsly, we need something, anything to make level advancement a little more exhilarating!!!

If the trophy jingle can make me smile, I want the level advancement to make me punch the air... maybe a little video sequence once you return to the xmb after quitting the game...

hell, i'll settle for a simple image, something like this....with a bit o sound!

 


That is an awesome picture - wouldn't mind seeing that....

Re: PS trophy level up: underwhelming?

Definitely agree. The whole leveling up using your trophies is what really sets it apart from other arbitrary gaming milestones out there, so they really need to drive that home with something much like you're saying.

 

Even a message in the corner saying "Congratulations: Level 9 Unlocked" would be nice.

Re: PS trophy level up: underwhelming?

Is it my imagination, or does each level you progress through get harder to level up than the last? I feel like the uphill climb is getting steeper.

 

I'm level 9, with 3 platinums, but a friend of mine has LOADS of platinums, and always completes a game totally. ...yet he's only level 12.

Level 1 - 0 pts
Level 2 - 200 pts
Level 3 - 600 pts
Level 4 - 1200 pts
Level 5 - 2400 pts
Level 6 - 4000 pts
Level 7 - 6000 pts
Level 8 - 8000 pts
Level 9 - 10000 pts
Level 10 - 12000 pts
Level 11 - 14000 pts
Level 12 - 16000 pts
Level 13 - 24000 pts
Level 14 - 32000 pts

 

bronze = 15

silver = 30

gold = 90

platinum = 180

 

So for me

 bronze      +   silver   +   gold    + platinum

= (214*15) + (55*30) + (16*90) + (4*180)

=    3210    +  1650    +   1440   + 720

=  7020

 

Level 7 is 6000 points, Level is 8000 points

 

So out of the 2000 points i need to get from level 7 to level 8, i have got 1020 (7020 - 6000 = 1020) points

 

1020/2000 * 100 = 51

 

So i am 51% of the way to level 8

 

 

Another list:

 

Level

LVL 1 = 0 pt (+200)
LVL 2 = 200 pt (+400)
LVL 3 = 600 pt (+600)
LVL 4 = 1,200 pt (+1200)
LVL 5 = 2,400 pt (+1600)
LVL 6 = 4,000 pt (+2000)
LVL 7 = 6,000 pt (+2000)
LVL 8 = 8,000 pt (+2000)
LVL 9 = 10,000 pt (+2000)
LVL 10 = 12,000 pt (+2000)
LVL 11 = 14,000 pt (+2000)
LVL 12 = 16,000 pt (+8000)
LVL 13 = 24,000 pt (+8000)
LVL 14 = 32,000 pt (+8000)
LVL 15 = 40,000 pt

 

 

From what i've seen it seems that 

Level 16 = 48,000 pt

Level 17 = 56,000 pt

Level 18 = 68,000 pt (seems like this, but i kinda predicted this)

too many zero's there...I cant tell what the answer to the question is... :smileysad:

Do the levels progress on a curve or not? :smileyhappy:

Kind of, but then they progress on a curve then lines with varying steepnesses.  You'll understand this if you look at the second list i posted with e.g. +8000  in brackets, meaning that you need 8000 more points to reach the next level.

 

So e.g. from levels 1 - 6, you need ever increasing points to reach the next level.

 

From levels 6-12 you need 2000 points to reach the next level.  So the difference betweem level 6 to 7 and level 11-12 is the same.

 

From levels 12 to at least level 17 you need 8000 points to reach the next level.  So again the difference between level 12 and 13 is the same as the difference between levels 16 and 17

 

Here, i made you a graph, so from level 1-6 it's a curve, level 6-12 it's a straight line, level 12-17 is also a straight line but it is more steep.

 

 

Hope you've understood after that post! :smileyhappy:

AHA!! Pictures! If Shakespeare had come with pictures, my English Lit class would have gone a lot more smoothly... :smileyhappy::smileyhappy::smileyhappy:

yep, it grades on a curve, which, tbh, makes KingofAllGames status even more impressive...... :smileyhappy:

EDIT: Since obtaining the levels requires 'godlike' dedication, i have revised my reward screen to...
