suggestions

if ender were to implement trophies for various thresholds of total played time, at what total hours played should each trophy be obtained?

100 days = 2400 hours.....this is where i think the 1st platinum should be set

I prefer more standardized goals, such as 6 months - platinum, 4 months - gold, 2 months - silver, 1 month - bronze.

that's basically equivalent to being in the top 10 for level, those guys are around that amount of played time. for me, that seems like too much.

I don't follow your reasoning. Your suggestion grants them the same exact thing, only it grants every other player as well but without the requirement of them playing on their boot as much as others. I don't agree with you at all on that.

its solely about playing on a single bot and being rewarded for that, that's the whole idea

Yet you want to nerf the trophy requirements simply because people who gain energy don't use their main as much as trainers.

i guess i view 100 days of played time as a much greater accomplishment than you which is fine

Don't disagree with kaiser nos! know your place :P

considering only 13 bots has more than 100 days of played time and only 27 has more than 40 days, i'm with shoe.

But there could always be put in extra platinum's for higher counts like there is for lvl.

And as I keep saying, the reasoning for this is because very few people use their actual "main" bot, which Ender has expressed explicitly that he hates. I think using a more rigid method, requiring people to use their "main" bot more would be more in line with what he'd prefer to express, people using a single bot.

This will only be true, if people would actually care about this trophy.. Sure some people would, but also some with still be focused on scoring instead..

+1

I like the idea shoe =)

Well if we are to solely reward the use of a main bot then why reward a platin for as little as 6 months? make it a year, 2 years or 5 years even.

Or you could reward every month worth of online time like

• 30 - 120 days Bronze (4 in total)
• 150 - 240 days Silver (4 in total)
• 270 - 360 days Gold (4 in total)
• 390 -> days Platinum (infinite)

Neat, I like the limit on number of the lower tiers to encourage upward mobility.

sure

I've shot down similar ideas in the past because I don't want to incentivize auto-refresh/always-keep-me-online scripts.

I like the direction of some of the tangential suggestions though. Having a trophy or something for logging in for 10 straight days or something (the exact details could be worked out later) would be nice to encourage people to return.
