So since the PSN has been down my God of Ware 3 & Infamous trophies have reset to 0%

Will these fix themselves when I sync them with the server?

And if i get new trophies will they get added on aswell?

Every Trophy that you synched to the network is always safe. If you earn new ones, they'll also sync when PSN comes back.

 

[gnat_]

PSN still down makes me sad panda.

But fishing controller Soul Calibur clip helps.

I've just been more curious as to why they are resetting to begin with. It honestly makes no sense that they would, but I have had several games reset to zero trophies the moment I started playing them since the network has been down.

If I was the hacker breaking in, I would have broken the trophy case and taken all the trophies

It's just some sort of glitch that happens when it can't sync with the server.

So do people who never connect online always have their trophies erase when they play games? If so that is a huge problem!!!

The only reasonable explanation I can come up with is that some games do this when you re-install them or delete your game saves. The Trophy-installing algorithm probably checks first for those and then it installs Trophy data thinking it's the first time you're playing the game.

It could happen especially when changing consoles or downloading Trophy patches.

It looks like some are trying to cash in on the situation. (Sorry if old)

I have done none of these things and some of the games that erased I had played just before the network went down.

 

[see5harp]

I have lost trophies in warhawk after a console switch. I don't know why but I lost my save with the YLOD console, reinstalled on my slim and lost every trophy that I got after expansions came out. Sorta pissed me off.

 

[noire]

Any word on when the identity protection service emails supposed to go out?

 

[Arkham]

That's what smartphones are for.

Use the stall, not the urinal.

 

[ithorien]

I chuckled. Pretty hard.

 

[Curufinwe]

Am I the only one that thinks the opposite? I beat UC1 crushing in 2 days, I still havent beat UC2 crushing...maybe sometime this week if PSN isnt back up yet.

There's a way in Uncharted 2 to enable cheats while playing on Crushing for the first time.

Are you sure about that? The 0% thing happens when you play an old game (that you have >0% on) on a NEW PS3 console, since the local data needs to be refreshed with a sync (the server-side Trophy stats then will sync with your local "Trophy Collection").

If you have to use that, I feel really sorry for you. U2's crushing is easy as it is. Just get good, son. Lrn2headshots.

I'm trying to platinum UC1 right now; haven't gotten to crushing. Amazing game and still holds up despite its age!

What I wouldn't give for full K/M support on PS3...

 

[Mileena]

What I wouldn't give for full K/M support on PS3...

It's easy enough on pad though

 

[jackdoe]

It's easy enough on pad though

Yeah, most AI game balance for console exclusive games aren't designed for the precision of a M/KB and having support for that would break the game and make it too easy. Gears of War on the PC was a cakewalk due to the ease of a mouse and the Longshot.

EDGE - PSN Outage Begins To Hit Retail

http://www.next-gen.biz/news/psn-outage-begins-to-hit-retail

Retail sources told Edge that there has been a rise in systems being swapped for cash or Xbox 360s, and that sales of PSN points cards have plummeted.

 

[TacticalFox88]

Will online games run "better" as a result of this "upgrade" or are they just upgrading security rather than both servers and security?

 

[DailyVacation]

Will online games run "better" as a result of this "upgrade" or are they just upgrading security rather than both servers and security?

Most likely just security. There hasn't been any announcement of any other enhancements in performance or the like.

Security, and the rise of confidence among existing and future users.

 

[Persona7]

If you lose trophies while offline they will just resync when you go back online it happened to me before when I didn't play Infamous for a long time.

EDGE - PSN Outage Begins To Hit Retail

http://www.next-gen.biz/news/psn-outage-begins-to-hit-retail

Retail sources told Edge that there has been a rise in systems being swapped for cash or Xbox 360s, and that sales of PSN points cards have plummeted.

Trade-ins are a concern, but the decline in sales of points cards is not. Of course they aren't selling now. There's no reason to think sales won't pick right back up again when PSN is back.

Of course, it must be noted that this is a small sample, and it seems that only those desperate for their online fix have taken the drastic step of ditching their PS3s entirely, but it is telling nonetheless.

I like how they discount the validity of the sampling yet conclude that it's somehow "telling" anyway. If your sample is small, non-random, and anecdotal, that's exactly what prevents it from being "telling."

 

[Sblargh]

We actually ran out of discussion before PSN.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

I dont understand why people would sell their PS3's now.

It can't be that much longer,can it?

 

[Andrefpvs]

It can't be that much longer,can it?

The answer to that question -- such thing is what we reach for.

 

[RedNumberFive]

I dont understand why people would sell their PS3's now.

That was my thought last week, but here we are.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

I fucking lol'd

 

[sleepykyo]

Patience wearing thin.

Or
Week 1: Happens to everyone once in a while, not a problem
Week 2: They're just being cautious, just means it'll be more secure
Week 3: Ok, they're blatantly incompetent and they can't close Pandora's box now that it is open

 

[RelentlessRolento]

anyone got bets for tomorrow? it's officially "a few days" startin' today.

 

[Nemesis121]

I fucking lol'd

First thing that came to mind.

 

[SouthernDragon]

That was my thought last week, but here we are.

Yeah, it's a week.

I understand people are frustrated, but a week, or 3, isn't long at all.

Jesus, do people have no patience these days?

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Maybe if we sacrifice small animals the video game gods might bring it back.

 

[SteveO409]

I fucking lol'd

How come he never gets ban for troll threads but people get ban for more little stuff on gaf

 

[InterInside]

I fucking lol'd

This should have been the first reply.

 

[nexen]

I dont understand why people would sell their PS3's now.

I completely understand selling off the ps3 at this point. What has happened once can happen again. Same way I understand people ditching the X360 after a RROD.

Yeah, it's a week.

I understand people are frustrated, but a week, or 3, isn't long at all.

Jesus, do people have no patience these days?

Exactly how patient are we expected to be? Sony really screwed the pooch on this one. A 3 week service outage is unacceptable.

 

[brettchalupa]

I fucking lol'd

That's day making.

 

[Brazil]

The PSN will eventually start working again.

The RROD'd 360... Not so much.

 

[H_Prestige]

I think the people returning their ps3's are the ones who recently bought one with call of duty or whatever after psn went down. I can understand why someone would exchange for the mostly similar 360 in that case.

 

[Megadragon15]

3 year warranty to cover this.

A watched kettle doesn't boil.

The moment we get bored of waiting and think of something else, that's when it'll go back up.

 

[Jomjom]

At this point I'm hoping that PSN stays down longer. Why? Because I'm hoping that the longer PSN is down, the better the gifts we are going to get. I'm hoping for the scenario of "We apologize for PSN being down an entire year, to make it up to all you guys, everything on PSN is FREE!"

Am I crazy? Perhaps.

 

[Bendz]

That's day making.

Aw! Bless!!!

 

[KaYotiX]

yeah but i had a working 360 back from MS in a week.

Still sad i cant buy my PS1 classics for my GO and FFIV Complete

 

[Revolutionary]

Tell that to the people who RROD'd before that warranty was put into place.

 

[Bendz]

Maybe not so much reliability of hardware as lost trust in Sony.

 

[Persona7]

How come people always forgot about the shitty PS2 hardware?

I have gone through at least 14 of them including slims. I lost count.

Every single friend and family member of mine who owned a PS2 had to get it replaced at least once.

PS3s manufactured in the first 2 years are not exactly high quality either.
