HIgh Scores question

Sat Jan 01, 2005 5:08 am

I realize this is a dumb question, but...

I realize trophies and high scores reset on the 1st of the month. Exactly how does that work?

Does it only count what you do after midnight tonight? Or is it after 1:00 AM? And I seem to recall hearing that trophies are given out about 4:00 AM NST. Is that right? Does that mean that what would count would be you did between midnight and 4:00 AM? Or is it between 1:00 and 4:00?

Basically trying to figure out what time I need to be playing to try to get a trophy on a game.

It resets at exactly Midnight, or, it did in October/November... maybe at the beginning of December, too. (I don't know, I was actually asleep, then! Or something...)

Its just your game scores that are reset to zero, not your personal highs. For example, your current game score on... Meerca Chase... could be 159, but your personal high (The one shown on your lookup) would be your actual high score, 710 for example.

Also, I know you didn't ask this... but, I will answer it anyways. If you started playing the game before midnight, and had already played the game three times that day, you might have to refresh at the game page, otherwise it will still count that you've already played three times that day. Meh, I dunno. I tried it once... :roll:

I can't be sure exactly... but I do think if you get a high score tonight (after the new year) I think you should be able to get a trophy by 3-4 am where they usually give out the trophies (it is weird o_O)

*shrug* try and See i guess...

I wish there was a clear and concise answer about this form TNT. It's something I've always been confused about. Is it whoever is on the high score list at 4am NST that gets the trophies? Or is whoever is on the list at midnight get the trophies, but they are physically given out ar 4am NST? Or something else? o_O

Its definitely not at midnight where trophies are given out.
Otherwise i would have the gold trophy for deadly dice...

Trophies are given out at 4:40 Am

Game high score tables are reset every month at midnight NST the start of the new month (Not counting cumulative high score tables)

If you score a highscore between the reset time and the trophy giving time you do earn the trophy for that day (I did for Faerie Cloud Racers)

Ok - say you were in first place at 12:01 Am.

At 4:39 am three people beat your score

The trophies are given out a minute later

Players A, B and C get gold
You get silver

Scores reset at midnight; trophies are given out sometime between 4 and 5 am NST. You have that 4 to 5-hour window in which to get your scores. You have to be in a trophy position exactly when the scores are given out, so if you get bumped out five minutes before that, you are out of luck (like me with last month's Meepit Juice Break score. Grr).
