Trust System Update

Cheat · October 30, 2014, 06:35:50 PM

I'll be pushing an update to the Trust system late tonight, before Penguin Party starts, that may affect your Prefix and customization privileges. Read on to see what's up:

Changes:

Time Online variable (in whole hours) added to Prefix cap requirements
Reduced weight on negative Trust values (downvotes)
Swapped customization privileges with some Prefixes
- Custom nameplate and titlebar color moved to Legendary
- Custom titlebar border added to Mythic
- Custom title moved to last Trust Prefix

This means that at Legendary you will unlock both a custom nameplate and a custom titlebar color, at Mythic you will get a custom border color, and at the Prefix above Mythic you will earn a custom title. Yes, if you are Heroic after the update, you will lose your custom nameplate until you reach Legendary, which will be weighted more heavily on activity rather than on upvotes/downvotes.

We're on our way to making upvotes/downvotes obsolete as we move closer and closer to a system that begins to resemble the Bungie.old Prefix rankings. A future update may very well remove that feature entirely and affect banned/warned users negatively, but for now the upvote/downvote will carry a much smaller influence over Trust ratings across the board, and activity will allow you to slowly make your way up the ladder.

As always, you will have unrestricted customization privileges in Penguin Party.

I expect people to boost their post counts even more.

How do you get Legendary anyway?

No changes have been made in regard to post count. Spamming won't help you.

Ok. do we still get the custom nameplate at 3,000 posts?
Or is it all about "time online" now?

Yu · October 30, 2014, 11:18:50 PM

My mythic title is at hand.

Gonna have to keep the 3000 post rule. It's more fair that way.

EDIT: made it simpler. Legendary requires 3000 posts. I've also raised the bar a bit on the other Prefixes.

Not likely, everyone who was Mythic just went down.

I was told by Cheat that the update could bring me much closer to being Mythic, praised be Cheat.

Just saying that everyone who was Mythic just went down, so I do not see how you would get it quicker.

No clue, he explained it to me several days before the update, I can't remember exactly what he said.

You're both very close (Noelle will probably get it back in a day or so).

Where's the fun in that? It would be a fake blue.
