I wish they could reboot their trophy system on ps4
this game has the longest hardest to obtain bronze trophies of almost any game in existence
lore challenges, across the board, have ultra rare status with most of them under 1% completion by BBorn owners. Top handlful are 1-3%.
More telling is the story modes stuff:
hardcore stories: only .4%
advanced: 1.2%
stories in general only completed by 35-50% of players depending on map
only 13% of players have even done 30 story/versus matches/missions
only 27% have ever activated a piece of legendary gear
I mean cāmon man, this is telling stuff. Lore challenges are WAY too excessive and nobody is bothering with them. They need to be chopped down to the time appropriate for a bronze and for players to actually care.
half of 1% of players on the vast majority of the lore challenges. PLATINUMS have that frequency, or higher, in most games.
Anyways achievements and trophies can be addictive if they feel fun and feasible. Just providing feedback to maybe get these adjusted. I mean most bronzes are like token amounts of time. These are hours and hours each.
p.s. overall the entire game feels like it was designed around an assumption that it would be more addictive than league of legends so they made everything a massive grind for āstuff to doā
No, the challenges are fine. The playerbase however, is not. Most people who own the game do not play it at all, which leads to abysmal numbers in achievement completion percentages.
Even if you look at other big name games, plenty of people donāt even bother. I remember there being like a 80 or 70% completion rate for reaching level 5 in BL2, and like a 60 somethin percent rate for beating story mission 1 in B03. So Iām general I think looking at trophy completion rate is unreliable. Not unless thereās someway to filter it, like by hours into game or time spent in each game mode, if the game is actually owned etc.
thousands of people bought the game and the current player number on PC is on 100 people, with a 24 hour peak of 300. percentage is not reliable at all. Lore challenges WERE hard, but now they are way easier (instead of 25 kills you only need 5 assist or something etc). Especially with bots battle counting for the lore. It takes a while but itās not very hard.
The challenges are fine. The fact that they have such low completion rates just means that the vast majority of people who bought and played the game even once didnāt end up playing very much. This game has an incredibly high churn/abandon rateā¦a lot of folks just didnāt care for it.

Itās the same over on XB1. Most of the achievements for BB are around the 1-3% of players mark. Compare that with ākill X very large enemiesā in Fallout 4 which was around 30% IIRC. Curiously, most the the BL2 achievements are in the low single digit %. This sounds odd until you realise that the BL2 version for XB1 hasnāt been out that long, and it counts as a new game as far as achievements go (so I now have 100% BL2 TWICE OVER on the same profile.)
One thing not clear to me - is it % of people whoāve played the game, or % of unique accounts? Iām guessing it would have to be the former as otherwise a lot of things would be super rar (< 1%)?
The Lore Completionist Trophiesā¦ well it comes from one out of too thingsā¦
Either People not Trying because they include RNG (Kill/Assist in Killing XXX, I hear these wonāt unlock Vs. Bots, but canāt tell since I got them all before Bots Battles were a thing) and seem too time consuming.
OR
They donāt even know that every character has his own personal challenges.
Maybe sometimes they donāt know and once they see it theyāre like āHell no!ā and just go on playing for fun.
I for my Part donāt even bother too much with the rank of the Trophy cause were are really easy Gold and really hard Bronceā¦ or at least quick to gain Gold Vs. āTaking-Up-Your-Whole-Free-Time-Just-for-Bronceā Trophies.
Itās more the Plat and/or 100 % counts for me, just so I get this āEverything mentionable doneā feeling when looking at it.
