Unlock Trophy Points: Established Member, Like Family & The Regular

  • Suggestion

  • Start date
In summary, there are currently no indicators for the number of First Responder counts, but this feature may be implemented in the future. There are also clearer descriptions for the Established Member, Like Family, and The Regular trophies. Additionally, there is a way to view all available trophies via the main menu or by clicking on "trophy points" on the profile page. However, the function to track First Responder counts does not currently exist, so users must continue to accumulate them on their own.

Would it be possible to add somewhere the ability to see your current First Responder count? There is no way to tell how many times you have been the First Responder in order to know how far away you are to the next badge of that type.

I also have some questions about the trophy points again. There are three that are not clear on how they are defined and I was wondering if they could get better definitions. They are the Established Member, Like Family, and The Regular trophies. The first two indicate a time frame but unlike The Godfather trophy, they don't specify what the timeframe is. The Regular has me stumped. I visit PF almost every day even though I may not post each day. I guess I'm not regular enough. o_O Does it have something to do with a daily post count average?

Thanks!

You can always extrapolate. It is what I do, I should be reaching 1000 some time septemberish, taking into account that activity goes down in the summer. But yes, many times I have wished for a counter ... :)

Edit: Such a counter would not have to be public, just for trophy hunters' personal sanity ...

I was doing that which is making me wonder. It took me about 2 months to reach level 3 with 50 FRs. It's been almost four months since then and I haven't reached my second 50. I didn't think that I changed my posting patterns that much.

Only a matter of time I guess. Finally got FR level 4 today! :woot:

Not to add to your work load already, but can we also have an indicator if someone has a trophy wife or a trophy husband?

:biggrin:

These trophies now have clearer descriptions.

Thanks, Greg! The Regular is nothing like I thought it was. :wideeyed:

Something is wrong with "like family". The description says 4 years, but I think it is 1200 days = 3.3 years.

"Lawyers?" That's worse than termites. Look out, everybody, we've got an infestation of lawyers.

Wait. Descriptions? You mean there are descriptions for these things? I thought that the were made up and distributed at random by Greg when he had eaten enough pizza to be in a good mood.

Where are these descriptions? [I have a feeling I'll slap my forehead once I'm told the obvious]

Right. That tells me what *I* have. I thought we were talking about a list of all possible trophy thingies.

Beg pardon --- hit "profile," then "trophy points," the blue number on the profile page --- it will list the trophies you have, then hit "available trophies" on lower right of the list.

Thanks guys. Not totally obvious but I should have found it by poking around.

Uh-uh. You never know what's going to pop out of some software --- one of the cats was "poking around" a couple months ago and knocked my laptop out for a couple weeks.

@Greg Bernhardt Is there any chance of this being implemented?

I'm afraid this function does not exist. You just have to keep chugging away :)

So, I've been chugging away... I received the FR 4 badge on June 30 and today I decided to see how many I have responded to first since then. I needed 150 more to get to FR 5 and, by my count, I have had 172 new first responses since July 1st. AFAIK, I should have hit level 5 last week. Is there some additional restriction on this one? A lot of mine have been in the New Member Introduction thread.

Your count is at 135
That's my complete total? So New Member Introduction posts don't count toward the total?

As far as I know, any post in the Lounge area of PF doesn't count towards your post count.

Yes, that must be it. I wasn't sure that it also applied to other things like the first responder count as well.

The PF Black Hole assimilates those. :woot:
