Gamers weren’t left quite a lot of time to course of Harmony’s imminent passing—Sony solely gave everybody a few days’ discover earlier than dragging the servers offline. However inside the chaos stood the few who noticed a problem of platinum-ing the sport earlier than it was gone, and a few of them really managed to do it.
There have been solely 100 ranges for gamers to get by means of in Harmony, each giving out a beauty merchandise of some type, however that is not what these mavericks had been angling for. As an alternative, some gamers needed to grind them out for the sake of finishing the sport, and the platinum trophy that comes with the honour.
This meant the previous few days of Harmony’s life had been a complicated muddle of some gamers attempting to get pleasure from what time they’d left, butting their heads with completionist nihilists throwing themselves off cliffs to grind XP. I joined in on a number of the final shreds of chaos, coming into just a few Rivalry video games to see what all of the fuss was about, and as anticipated, I had teammates throwing themselves off the map, going AFK, or simply wandering round till somebody put them out of their distress. It was a little bit of a bizarre expertise, however to be honest, I did degree up surprisingly shortly, so the race for platinum wasn’t completely unimaginable.
In the long run, a whopping 69 gamers obtained the platinum trophy, ending Harmony on a fairly becoming be aware. Whereas some gamers did not discover this as humorous as others, the overwhelming discourse was “good.” A joke thread on r/Video games even obtained shut down by a mod because it did not have “sufficient substance” – just about all the now eliminated feedback had been simply “good” or “noice.”
However nothing good ever lasts lengthy, as somebody determined to step in and put the joke to relaxation. One trophy hunter managed to rewrite the ultimate plat rating to 70 by making a psn account post-Harmony shutdown. “Ban this man instantly from the platform,” one participant joked.
Though unrelated to the platinum trophy hunt, another person additionally revealed that there are nonetheless adverts occurring for Harmony: “[Sony] did some collab with a pizza bran right here in Korea, the collab menus are nonetheless obtainable lol.” All of the pizzas on the menu really look fairly good, however sadly, the promo completed yesterday, so I suppose I am going to by no means know what a limited-edition Harmony pizza tastes like.
