Sony have guidelines about trophies, one is common sense - You don't put them in a 100% online action game.

Trophies are fun they provide in game challenges and bragging rights among your friends. It also shows you are a true gamer.

I am a trophy w hore and I REALLY want trophies and the Vita app BUT I want CCP to fix all the issue first and extras second.

everybody knows your run faster with a knife!-------10 (or so) consecutive kills with just the nova knifes

I think people who are rejecting trophy support are mostly likely PC gamers, we PS3 gamers love that glorious sounds when a trophy pop-up also it really provide in-game challenges and immersion

I agree to a point if done right trophies are great way for current players for try new ways of playing and bring in new players to the game if done wrong like most of time its like giving a kid a gold star for real reason....

The trophy system has no facility to dynamically update itself as new features enter the game - the Lumines Vita screwup proved this, as the game accidentally released without a Platinum and there was nothing they could do to re-add it. The only way you can put more trophies into a game is with expansion packs, and that doesn't really fit with Dust's development style. Most importantly, right now, Dust clearly doesn't have enough of the game implemented to make even a basic trophy list.

I literally just told you they can't just 'toss a platty' out there. You have to use your full point allocation for the initial release, so 30-50 trophies depending on how you split it up between bronze/silver/gold, and then after that only expansions. No going back and changing one that no longer applies or doesn't make sense when the game gets a major rework patch. CCP don't have the same flexibility with the trophy system like they do being able to patch and grow the game independent of PSN.

Trophies are a nice bonus feature, but Dust isn't ready for them yet and the devs are busy with a whole bunch of other real/important/relevant issues that need to be fixed to make the game work right. When they're ready to call upon the OCD brigade, they can push a trophy update out and let all the handwashers grind for their Sony-branded rat pellets.

Sorry I dont entirely believe your statements.

I believe there are alot of different options for the trophy system, I understand the point allocation system with gold silver bronze and platty, but alot of online games release a ton of trophies post launch, so I dont see why we couldnt get a platty say 1 year from now.

What about no platty on the first batch then adding the platty after say the 4th expansion. Regardless trophies are and have been added after the first batch was released upon launch.

I remember mag releasing like 20 trophies (on top of the 50 from launch) like 8 months after launch. They had some golds too, how do you explain the point allocation for further expansion trophies? Borderlands 1 had 81 trophies.

I don't give a damn about trophies. They are of no use to me.

Well thanks for the bump anyhow.

MAG , FREE REALMS, AND DCUO all HAVE Trophies....... There are all online only games

DCUO and free realms have trophies yes, but not the f2p version. You have to be a subscriber in order to activate trophies.
Dust has no subscription, therefore no trophies.
If they came out with a subscription model on top of the f2p model THEN there would be trophies for the subscription model.
And as far as MAG goes, it wasn't a free game....you had to BUY it, therefore it has trophies because its not a free game. Online only yes, free no.

Why Trophies? We should be doing what steam is, trading cards.

Free games don't have trophies.

DCUO is an exception because when it came out, IT WASN'T FREE.

FreeRealms is basically a test platform for DCUO's Free-To-Play model, so it had to have trophies or it wouldn't have been a viable test.

So this is obviously why Iron Wolf Sabre was asking if and what people would be willing to pay for a subscription. So I guess we need to pay for trophies in the sence of a release sale, equalling $60. Otherwise F2P will never get trophies.

So I say CCP set a precedence and give us trophies based on the microtransactions each player has paid for, and if the players total was over $60 then the trophies would be unlocked as well as a multitude of other options for being a valued customer.

I know alot of people have spent alot more than $60 and they have really nothing to show for it besides a few bpo's. Why not reward players who have funded the game with a subscription/award system with items like the trophies unlocked.

Like I stated above, what if there was a subscription model? Could/would there be a possible implementation at that point?

Worth considering I do believe, especially if the state of the game needs more exposure.

So I guess we need to pay for trophies in the sence of a release sale, equalling $60. Otherwise F2P will never get trophies.

Could there be a sub with trophies? Yes.
Is there likely to be? Possibly. Not sure.
Is it needed? Not really, no.
Is it urgent? Most definitely not.

But yes, it may be something for CCP to look at somewhere down the line.
