vivan Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) There're 10 ranks that you need to get to open 100% library and get Tolkienesque trophie. You can see your rank, level and score on the stats screen. Rank & level seem to depend on score. First rank have 10 levels, second - 20... ninth - 90. Spreadsheet with ranks ~ score are on googledocs, anyone can edit it: link. Please check your rank, level and score and add them there... Thanks to LoAlexandria: You need ~600 hours to get ~39600 score to get all ranks. How to grind score. UPD: with patch (1.02, out yesterday) you get 100x more score for same time, meaning you 100x less time required for getting all ranks.

Catalyst08 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Bad news i'm afraid, i'm Hedgehog lv14 at the moment desperately trying to unlock (insert animal name here) rank. I think the first rank has 10 levels and I'm hoping then it's 15 levels to the next rank. For a bronze trophy this is turning into an ill conceived grindathontastic nightmare. The game is good but seriously!.......? I have a backlog of retail games with platinum trophies to be had and this bronze trophy is looking like a 100+ hours and I don't think I can stand it for that long.

Catalyst08 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 update.. I'm now Hedgehog lv16 with 1474 points. Looks like I was a little too optimistic hoping for a rank up @ lv15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike1m Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 The creators of this game are nice trolls. Nobody will play in this slot game more than 10 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catalyst08 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I'm 10hrs in and still Hedgehog rank. I feel like I've gone into hibernation on this rank. I'm @ lv17 and am now hoping for a rank up @lv20 but I'm not holding my breath. This feels more like a COD prestige system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike1m Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) Hmm may be for receiving new ranks you need to beat others modes. In statistics modes have their own score and distance. May be if you make full this gauge you ll gain another rank? I will not play this game anymore, so someone can check this.

SiC Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I'm on "Pocket Jaffa" level 17 - score: 3011 with 14 hour playtime Maybe all ranks have 20 level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivan Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 May be if you make full this gauge you ll gain another rank?It shows hom much you've done compared to others... And it doesn't affect rank. E.g. I've deleted the game, installed it, played 10 minutes and now have rank grasshopper 3 with score 50. On "score and distance" screen there're zeros everywhere. Than I went to scores form main menu, game downloaded my scores from scoreboard and now I have them on "score and distance" screen. Rank and level haven't changed at all.

pugsrule88 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 maybe you rank through the amount of time you invest into the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugsrule88 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 maybe you rank through the amount of time you invest into the game. Ignore my post above time has nothing to do with you'r rank progression. I started a new game on BOSS RUSH as hedgehog 9 score874 time 4H40M23S I hovered around the firewall boss for 10minutes without shooting or scoring any pionts i also didn't collect any starbits. When i destroyed my ship and went back to the score board i still had a rank score of 874 and a time of 4H50M47S, so i think its safe to say that time has nothing to do with rank progression.

vivan Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 You can also earn score in peaceful mode - and with about the score/minute as in other modes. You just have to shoot and kill. And since life is unlimited there... But it's much more boring than other modes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivan Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 10 Ranks confirmed. And I have a bad feeling about number of levels of the highest ranks... there are 10 ranks in total! Each rank needs more points than the previous. Rank 1 needs 10 levels, 2 needs 20, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike1m Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 10 Ranks confirmed. And I have a bad feeling about number of levels of the highest ranks... Lol, show me the man who will play the game where you need to press only one button for 100-200hours. The stupidest trophy I have ever seen.

vivan Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) And 90 levels for 9 rank confirmed... That's about 30000, so you will need 140-200 hours. Screw this. Edited December 18, 2012 by vivan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it can work, you gotta remember the bosses. The rubber band trick doesn't work with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimikiller2 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 if you have 3 controllers, rubberbanding works... one shoots straight, one 40 degrees up and one 40 degrees down. only nets like 120 per hour i think, but after a while you´ll get there i guess.

While it can work, as I said, you still have to be aware of the bosses that can pop up. For example, the round crater boss that you have to drill to reach the middle. If you die then you respawn on the outer shell, thus you'll simply keep crashing into the edge/respawn/crash/respawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Point...also the one with the turbine-kind-things to the left probably causes problems as he only dies if you destroy all of that turbines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimikiller Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 been rubberbanding it like my neighbour suggested for the last 6 hours. works perfectly! the bosses all die pretty fast exept for the guy with the shell, he takes quite a while. but eventually he dies, so though it's not a great way of getting there, you will get there eventually...

Rubberbands help shooting and getting to the right side of the screen all the time and the turbo controller spams the X button. If you place the ship on the right side you will die at every boss but the spamming X will lead you through the menu and starts a new game without worrying about it. My turbo controller is not so fast so there is enough time to shoot between the drilling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, thats great news! So what did you do: - peaceful mode? - 3 gamepads, 1 shooting horizontal, 1 45° up, 1 45° down? - left stick tied to the right or left or not tied at all? - right stick tied in the above mentioned directions i guess? Is there anything more important to know? Many thanks in advance!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks in advance!! nothing with the left stick, your ships have to be in the middle of the left hand side of the screen. they spawn there when you die, so no moving needed. shooting like you said. been doing it for almost 2 days now, and i have 2900 points i think. stopping now for a month cause of exams, student life isn't always awesome...
