    Glad to see it's official this year, last year's felt lonely dive.

    Just to let you know, the link to the hub isn't working - it redirects to the home page.

    I have a quick question, in the description for the hub page it says "Sign up now to start your bean dive and grab yourself a community challenge badge!"

    Is there an upgrade for the community challenge badge in this event or not? I don't see anything in the hub or the FAQs.

    I'm wondering this as well, as one of the few "Circle of Taste" 6/6 Community Challenge members. wink

    I would still like an answer to this question, please.

    [another 6/6 here] I do not see this statement on the hub page, the FAQ or anywhere else, a Google search turns up empty, and a DuckDuckGo search points to the hub page. So apparently the statement once was there, but has since been removed.

    Question if I finish my dive after the 22 will it still count or do I need to have everything dived by then? Didn’t realize some games took so long to earn a trophy.

    I'm wondering this too. Does everyone's dive end on the 22nd or some other day?

    More generally, what happens if we start a dive but never end it?

    [...] apparently the statement once was there, but has since been removed.
    Also, over at TA, it was confirmed that the Bean Dive counts as a Community Event, not a Challenge.

    That said, done, with nine games dived. In contrast to previous dives, I restricted myself this time to games which I am reasonable certain to actually play in the near future.

    How to trophies from non-dive games work? I earned a few from my ongoing XCOM Plus game between starting and ending the dive. And my completion percentage by the time I finish my dive games could be lower or higher than if I played them exclusively. Is the intent that you only play your dive games till they're done?

    Stopped at 16 games. Was starting to get down to games that i may not want to invest time in, and wanted to actually play some of them. :)

    I didn't realise they were doing this for trophies too! I already did 300 games for the XBox one, so I think I'm too burned out for this, but may dip in on the weekend.

    Wow, what a crazy few days. Finally hit my 100 and done popping! Time to get to work! Excited.. the vast majority of my Bean Dive is the remaining PS3 and Vita games I have, really want to complete them before the upcoming next gen. Threw in a few PSVR and PS4 games to help remind me what current gen looks like laugh. Goal is to get my % back by March 2, 2020 (gotta focus on FF7 Remake the next day!!!) Hope everyone enjoys their refreshing dive! dive

    It's all relative. If you only have say 7 games on your profile, and you've got the platinum on 5 of those games, and 40% completion on the other 2. You'll have a total completion percentage of 82.8% on your profile... If you then dive 10 games, getting 1 trophy in each game (which averaged at about 3% completion), you'll be dropping to 35.9% completion on your profile. Because it's all about ratios.

    The more games you've played the more games you need to dive in order for it to make a difference, however, the higher your completion percentage is to start with, the less games you need to dive for it to make a difference. It's why even though I dive 50 games I only dropped my completion percentage by around 6.11%, because I tend to complete around 30% of my games and I had almost 200 games on my profile before I started. So loads of games, but low completion percentage means game didn't effect my dive any where near as much as they would other people... if I had started and left unfinished less of my games, or finished more of the games I started, the dive would have had a greater impact.

    Good old relative statistics.

    Am I able to still add games to my Dive? I thought it was supposed to stop at midday yesterday but it added a new game I played in the evening.

    If so I’m happy because I’ll be able to creep up to 50 games.
