Hi Arcturus, there seems to be an error with my platinum points. I keep my own spreadsheet for tracking, and what I have is 113 platinum trophies worth 225 points (average @ 1.99).

Two things I ascertained:
1) The Bureau: XCOM Declassified should be 2-stars (but you seem to have given me 1). The "Platinum Difficulty Rating" displays the difficulty at 4.08. If you calculate from the latest votes, the average is actually higher at 4.41. And it's definitely worth it with the skill that is required.
2) I noticed that my recent Diablo III: Reaper of Souls also never appeared in any of the "Platinum Trophies Earned" section too. I've tentatively put this as 2-stars due to it being more demanding than the normal Diablo III (which is 2-stars), but probably wouldn't warrant a 3-star rating. They are two completely different games with separate lists, by the way. As it stands, I got 0. Maybe something wrong with the new script? And also, the link leading to the list showing games and their difficulty ratings seems to have disappeared too from this thread.

Thanks for the help.

Hey Esquoret, the script automates the process of collecting everyone's trophy totals but the process of determining which new platinum trophies have been earned is still a manual process, unfortunately. Since it is a manual process it is prone to the occasional error, such as me missing your Diablo 3 platinum. I've since added it to your list and it will show up in the next update. I've also updated The Bureau: XCOM Declassified rating based on the latest average from playstationtrophies.org.

Thanks for the confirmation. I've checked the list, and it's all there now.

On the difficulty of Diablo III: Reaper of Souls -- Now I don't wanna keep requesting for changes based on how I feel, yet I think in this case, there's the matter of logic and consistency to consider for everyone who is going for this platinum, so please hear the facts out. Basically, Diablo III is given 2 stars, and Diablo III: Reaper of Souls trophies pretty much demand what Diablo III demanded, plus more. A few comparisons of requirements are below...

Diablo III:

  1. Reach level 60. [Just with one class.]
  2. Reach level 30 in Hardcore mode. [Permanent death mode.]
  3. Equip all Inventory slots with items that have a minimum required level of 60 or higher. [Any type of gear will do.]
  4. Kill all bosses. [Softcore only.]
  5. Platinum trophy rarity on PSNProfiles = 10.26%.

Diablo III: Reaper of Souls:

  1. Reach level 70 with 6 different classes. [Six, instead of one.]
  2. Reach level 70 in Hardcore mode. [Extra 40 levels of permanent death risk.]
  3. Equip all Inventory slots with Legendary items that have a minimum required level of 70 or higher. [Needs to be Legendaries.]
  4. Kill the bosses in both Softcore and Hardcore modes, and that's including an additional DLC boss.
  5. Platinum trophy rarity on PSNProfiles = 2.82%.

So anyway, I will leave it in your hands, and I will respect your decision no matter what. I just think due to their respective demands, it's simply strange for Reaper of Souls to be rated easier than the vanilla Diablo III. That is all.

Cheers for the help, and for updating the league as always. Hope the new script all work out well!

At the moment, we have Diablo III rated as a 2 stars and Diablo III: Reaper of Souls rated as 1 star.

I reviewed the average difficulty ratings on playstationtrophies.org for both games and they currently sit at 3.75 for Diablo III and 3.5 for Diablo III: Reaper of Souls. Both of those rating equate to a 1 star rating here (an average of 1 to 3.99 = 1 star). Based on this I will drop Diablo III from 2 stars down to 1 star. Given that more effort is involved in getting the plat for Diablo III: Reaper of Souls, I'm willing to bump the rating for it up to 2 stars if no one objects.
