One day your life will flash before your eyes, make sure it's worth watching.

Well, the link works the same... the post below you has the link. It said 2.75. I'm sure it will change after this post.

EDIT: Nope. Same.
They both work it out the same way - I think! I believe it's the number of days between now and the very last post on your recent post history, divided by the number of posts in your recent post history.

If you had an account that was years and years old and had never made a post, then decided to post 300 times in one day, your PPD would be 300. Even though you would have only made 300 posts after years and years.

Could be wrong, though.


PPD is an average, so if it worked correctly, it would divide Number of Posts by Days on bungie.net. (Or at least, maximum number of posts divided by days on b.net.)
I'm just talking about the PPD calculators. Our total post counts aren't available, so the only thing the PPD calculators have to work with is our recent post history. That means our PPD is an average calculated using the total number of posts in our post history and the number of days between the first and last posts in our history.

Excel says there are 162 days between the first and last posts on my history. 300 divided by 162 is 1.85 which is what the PPD calculator says ;)

So any new titles/prefixes added or no? I understand why Bungie does not want to add any more titles/prefixes but we do need more.

Agreed, we have a reasonable amount as of now.

I don't think any new ones were added, and I don't think we need more. It's already confusing enough to newer members who create new threads asking about them instead of taking a look around for this thread.

Besides, I don't know if Achronos is still thinking about this but at one point he mentioned a few things about changing the title system completely when Reach came out.

Posted by: Achronos
I often wonder if it would be better to link it game participation (probably keeping the prefixes, I like those) and just lose the Heroic/Legendary/Mythic. Maybe as we make more games available we could think up some alternate stuff. But in the meantime, watching how you guys behave relating to a somewhat arbitrary rating is very intriguing.

Posted by: Achronos
It should be noted that if I did change it to a "pick the title you want from the list you've unlocked" I'd probably make sure that a great many of them would be rather obvious as to how you'd "unlock" them. They'd also be participation in nature for the most part. No "is a level 50 in Halo 3", more of "Played X ranked games" or "Played Y social games" or " Played Z custom games". And the elitism you guys seem so fond of whining about wouldn't be there because nobody could tell if you just like a different title or if you don't have a title because you can't unlock it. With a hierarchy, it becomes just a popularity issue, which is easily controlled.

I think I'd also make the bar color just indicative of join date, not the trust rating. I don't really want to give you control over that.

Eh, maybe, maybe not. Again, thinking out loud. It sure would be funny on release day when everybody's bars change and they revert to member because the old way got removed. The Halo 3 forum would freak out.

Posted by: Achronos
At any rate, my posts about changes for the way titles are selected is because I like them as a customization option more than I like them for displaying a generalized form of an arbitrary trust rating that you can't see or predict other than "don't get banned". I'd still probably keep the prefixes around, and tie them to trust rating a bit more.

The point is that while trust ratings are useful, titles base on them aren't really "fun", where as a system that unlocks titles for you to choose from based on your various activities in the community is more fun, more transparent, and expandable as I see fit, with the added bonus that I don't have to listen to people whine to me wondering why they lost their title after getting banned for spamming.

Customizable titles relating to game participation may be seen in the near future, which is actually a change to the system I wouldn't mind seeing.

Yeah, I think the title system is fine how it is.

Ha, a 'Sex Panther' title wouldn't hurt though....

Posted by: JBSpudsterWell I love the ranking system as it is truly, but all I am saying is that maybe if Bungie webteam had some spare time on their hands maybe they can add a new prefix. (But if not I am absolutely fine)

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

Until now I didn't think you could lose the intrepid or fabled prefixes for anything besides the direct duration of a ban. Coming off a short ban I still had it until around the release of new hawtness.

Have you been less active? I doubt that's the cause, but still...

Also, it may have been altered with the update somehow.

I was thinking it had to do with the update too. The one guy a couple posts up had his member title playing on him.

Why? Heroic is already easy enough to obtain, since you just have to be active and not get banned for a little while to get it, and Mythic is already hard enough to get; we don't need another, even higher title. I don't see much of a point in more base titles. Perhaps a new prefix or two, but not another trust-based title.

Um... what?

If you're asking what the most amount you can possibly post in a day is, I don't know. I'm not sure if there's a limit, besides that there's only so many minutes in the day.

  • 09.07.2010 7:38 PM PDT

Go check your recent posts to find that out.
