How Does It Feel To Own A Crown?

Archive: 69 posts


I want to know how it feels to own a Lbp crown, do you feel all glorious and awesome? Cause' I know if I owned one, i would(;

What happens when you first get a crown anyway? Does it pop up or something Lol, or do you get a message saying that you got a crown?..

You get your crown by entering a code in the PSN store and downloading it, the same as all extra content for LBP.

And yes, it feels like an honour to be awarded a crown the legit way. I know it's value was diminished when people found a way to copy it from other players, but those people must have known in their hearts they didn't earn it and felt no sense of pride in wearing it.

I don't wear mine for the sake of flashing it around though. I made a goofy looking medieval king costume with it, and unless I'm wearing that particular outfit then you wouldn't normally see me wearing it.

I have heard tell of the Gifting of the Crown. It's also call the "Receptionance" and is heralded by a chorus of glory, pillars of light blazing benevolently upon the player. Like the birth of the Great Dear Leader Supreme of Democratic North Korea, receiving a crown may involve a phalanx of rainbowed unicorns, the exquisite symphony of one thousand-thousand lightning strikes to mark the awe of Receptionance, and spontaneous rapture and celebration by all people of the world. It's a legendary event, an epochal and momentous event. It's a feeling said to be so profound that to merely conceive of it send many into fits of transcendent ecstasy. That's why there's an epilepsy warning at the beginning of the game. It's also for epileptics, but for those who have experienced the Gifting of the Crown, they know: it's for them. It's for them.

I only break it out on special occasions.. It looks kinda silly on me. I prefer my blue helmet. lol

...but it really isn't the crown as much as why they sent the code to you. That appreciation never grows old.

I find it funny that thos who are crowned never wear what they worked so hard for.Even tho i had a fake crown and i did wear it i felt honored to wear it...I did fill pride it sadly lasted a short time....I felt pride in wearing the fake crown cause i know nothing i ever make will ever get noticed....I didint fill bad about it cause i new it would be gone once i terned off my ps3.It was more like a fairy tell you have something and you fill like you deserve it but you can never have it.It gave me a glimps of what it would be like if i really got it.

Im sure people will hate me now i just thought i'd put my 2 since in.

Nah... I don't hate you at least. lol

I think because you had pride for having one on, where most that earned one still have the accomplishments of what they did and were known for to earn it. So for you it was the crown that you were proud of. For me at least, it is what I did to earn one that I am proud of.

I remember I got the glitched crown a while back and only wore it to goof off. It's not like it can really go with any costume. I just want to have the "Royalty" Pin so people who visit my earth will take my creations seriously. No MmPick + No Royalty to most just means "this guy must suck"

Sure I give people the benefit of the doubt and find there's lots of hidden awesome creators, most even better than the royalty players, but a MAJORITY of people will just assume that royalty/Mm Picked players are better creators than themselves.

Often when kids pop into my pod and they happen to see I have a crown, one of two scenarios unfold:

1. "Please account share please!!!1"

2. "Where did you steal that crown?!"

I just hope wearing a crown isn't too much trouble around the community. I mean, I hope it doesn't cause too much commotion. If it's such a big goal to pretty much all of LBP to dawn a crown someday, I just don't want dreams to be crushed when it's made clear that wearing a crown around might not be a good idea. But I doubt it is.
Like Antikris said. There's always those kids who either want what you have or hate you because you have it (and they're jelly). Is that ever a problem? Does that demotivate you from wearing it? It's meant to be a item that the owner should be proud to wear, but not a bragging item.
Seriously, it's just really REALLY stupid when someone's showing off their shiny headgear. Some people even use their crowns as lures, tools to get more plays.

I'd say the crown has lost it's rarity factor by quite a bit.. It was given to those that went to the Vita game jam, news crews of fan sites, wiki contributors and contest crews(*?).. which are all outside of the game reasons. I just think it's funny that you have better chances of getting a crown and a few other pins.. without even actually doing anything in lbp.. Just as you have very, very few chances of being rewarded for doing lots of awesome things in lbp.

Never saying that any fansite contribution isn't worthy of such rewards of course. Matter of fact, more specific pins for the vast amount of different kinds of contributions to lbp would be nice. I.e. A "Game jam", "LBPC Spotlighter", "Crowner", "Wiki Curator" etc. pins.

They didn't say you'd be awarded the crown for doing things JUST in-game.

Only the most elite of all the Sackfolk on the LittleBigPlanet are invited to join the royal circle, and find themselves eligible for the Prize Crown costume piece. If you want to become anointed, you’ll need to do something exceptional in or around the LittleBigPlanet. Suffice to say, if you see anyone wearing a Prize Crown, they should be revered as one of the great ones!

The Rare Prize Crown is given only to those who prove themselves worthy of joining the LittleBigPlanet Royal Family.
This can be done though the game, creating fantastic levels for instance, or taking part in a Play, Create or Share contest. We’ve also give away Crowns to people who’ve produced Podcasts, Machinima, Posters, Art, Stories, and generally anything that has impressed us.
If you fancy yourself a Rare Prize Crown, then look out for contests in the News, or the Forums, or our shiny Contests page – or just get creating fabulous things!
You can do anything related to LBP that impresses whoever gives out the crowns. Of course it's still rare, but it's not like it'll never be released again like some items. It's a PRIZE crown.

Hugh-es was awarded a crown for creating the soundtrack for Titanic100th's Mm picked Titanic film series. Probably the 1st in-game contributor to ever be awarded a crown..
So yeah.. contests are the only way for most to even try to get a crown.. If you don't work at a fan site.

aoljfdsladf;la, I didn't write it. But there's really more to getting a crown than just doing something in-game. Also there are multiple players that were awarded Prize Crowns for in-game achievements, and there still are.

Right.. I'm saying any in-game reasons are very rare.. which is sad. Aside from Hugh-es and contests.. who of these "multiple players" have and for what? There should be way more opportunities to get secret pins & crowns IMO and for in-game community activity. Plus, a great majority of those that were awarded for external contribution likely spend most of their time on their home site, usually meaning their in-game activity is very minuscule. No fan site gets as much attention as the collective in game community. So I feel that what a person does in-game is more significant in some aspects.

You could be a full blown trolling jerk in-game, yet rewarded by external contribution. Thus rewarding that trollin" behavior with an in-game reward.

I like to use the Game Jam as a good example because isn't being invited to Sweden to play lbpv WAY before it is released kinda a reward itself? Of course not! Crowns for your contributions to exclusive privledges!

*Disclaimer* Not saying anyone who has been rewarded a crown for Game Jam invites doesn't deserve it.

*Just always suggesting more pins, a better search-related/ranking system for them as well as more chances to be rewarded for specific contributions.

What is there to do to get one? You can make a cool creation, but that's what Mm Picks are for, and that's one way of getting a crown as well. You can also get one for being a contributor to a level that gets an Mm pick apparently. If there's not too many opportunities, what is there to add? I can't think of any more ways in-game to get a crown. That's really the point of the multiple ways to receive a crown.
Here's a crown. It's shiny.

Well. LBP is supposedly about playing, creating & sharing right? Well how has ANYONE been rewarded for being an awesome player or sharer? Someone with very robust hearted lists, someone who will play any requested level, someone who makes the great level lists, someone who is a beast at getting high scores on community levels or someone of who gives lots of positive and or helpful feedback reviews.

To me gadders that take the time to do stuff like that are both setting a positive example for the community and also countering the trolls, naive kids and spammers that dominate it.

Publishing levels aren't the only thing that should be rewarded or encouraged in a community based game, especially given the quality and integrity of our current community.

They haven't. Cause it's too easy.
MWAHAHAHA!
ACTUALLY, there's a pin for that. It's called "Awesomesauce". Judging by the name and the fact that most of the community doesn't know how to get it, I think you get it for being awesome. Close enough to a crown, I guess. Can't wear it on your head, but you can wear it on your profile to show off.

Grrr... "Awseomesauce" has been given mainly to fan site contributors as well... and for a few contests too.. (Hmm! That's almost the exact same earning conditions as Royalty! Yet much, much more rare..) Which sucks so bad considering how cool that pin sounds and...um... how relevant for loads of positive in game activity it could be a reward for.. like a "super play, create & sharer".. that is what i thought it was for when it was announced..

"Only given to those who go above and beyond the call of duty to be awesome!" (or not be awesome at all and just win a contest) Again, another pin never rewarded for any in-game contribution.

I think if the community is aware of such a person and enough of them made the request of MM they'd probably be happy to oblige by awarding a crown. There has definitely been at least one case where community support resulted in a crown being awarded (of course that person was also super-awesome to the nth power so it was really a no-brainer). Anyway, no harm trying.

If you expect MM to find these *special* folk and somehow make a crown worthiness determination on what is certainly very subjective criteria, it's not going to happen and it's a pretty un-reasonable expectation.

I got my crown the old fashioned way, an LBP1 contest that was judged using a dart board!

I don't see why people think Mm has to go out into the vast community and specifically look for these contributors if we can talk to StevenI and Spaff quite easily. The way I see it is, why go to GetSatisfaction or a site like here to post a suggestion or issue to maybe get the attention of someone you can simply tweet?

I though of a way this could be possible and hopefully avoid malicious spamming to get. A hidden earning criteria with a really high bar in several categories. ex. 500+ Positive reviews, 1,000+ hearted levels AND 200+ hearted creators. If that was all legitimate, that particular persons planet would most likely be a good source of levels to play as well as a good person to ask to check out your levels. Due to their already vast amount of contribution to other creators, they would most likely gladly take the request.

Gadders like that should get more exposure on their planets for these more "sharing" qualities. This type of mass activity is currently very rare. nor is it encouraged.. matter of fact.. doing bad things like copying levels, abusing cool pages, trolling and bugging peoples profiles aren't even discouraged.. So we have this constant continuation of bad activity being exploitable often leading to "success" and exposure whereas positive, helpful activity is overlooked and ignored. I think that rewards and punishments in the form of exposure & pins could be used to help condition the overall community to be a little happier & friendlier.

Plus opening up new unique rewards for all of the different kinds of community contribution would give a lot of people unique goals and incentives to be more community focused. I see someone who has a really nice hearted list, level list or reviews list just as significant (in a sharing aspect) as a creator who has made an awesome level (creation aspect).

Currently it just seems like creation is all that is rewarded in-game While playing and sharing are completely insignificant.. hell there are way more pins geared towards receiving than giving..It's just a very selfish rewards system.

I really hate discussing this topic but I just feel like pins could be greatly expanded on and integrated into the UI for several organization, ranking and rewards purposes. Instead they are vague reward stickers that serve no real use besides showing off

All fine in theory...nothing is ever quite that easy that it could be automated...and anything automated will be abused. I think I'll go heart every MM pick and write nice reviews that people will see, etc. These counts are pretty meaningless by themselves...maybe someone with tons of hearted levels was engaged in HTH nonsense, and of course you'd need to make sure the positive count ratio is much higher than the negative.

I think it's better that the community recognizes these individuals and voices their support for bequeathing one of the fun/silly in-game perks. And if the community doesn't recognize someone's efforts...when then the contribute really wasn't that outstanding.

So leat me get this straight when your Mm picked you get a crown to or am i miss under standing?I truly fill there should be more ways to get the crown..What if im greater at making doing other thing's than just levels for contest.What if theres people out there who should be reworderd the crown but are not because the contest revolve a round levels.Mm picks you just get a badge i'm not really worryed about picks it would be nice but.The crown you get to really have something to show for...Mm picks if you ever delete your pick its gone lol..I'm not as driven for the crown any more as i was iv entered 12 contest so far and iv lost in each one..I get more feedback and support in the music i cover than the levels i make.2012-06-22 20:50:00

I'd honestly say to take any hearted or reviewed Mm pick out of the equation. You shouldn't really be rewarded for giving a level with vast amounts of exposure more hype. That would be overlapping exposure redundantly and would honestly be a form of abuse to this proposed sharing rewards system... Not discouraging reviewing or hearting Mm picks, just saying in the case of evening out exposure.. it would hurt.

Well, you prove my point, it's not so straight-forward. What if you heart a bunch of real gems that end up being picked later in part because your stellar review and legions of followers dedicated to your awesomeness brought attention to them?

A MM pick gets you a pink ribbon and 15 minutes in the hot seat...which I am happy to say if you don't make an effort to capitalize on ends allowing for a blissful return to obscurity.

You are not far off in a few ways though. Crowns have been given for contributions to Mm picked levels a few times. They are also given for participation in events (Vita game Jam), help with promoting lbp and it's levels, (spotlight crews, wiki curators, news teams and contest crews) as well as to winners of the various contests that LBPC and other sites host.

Mm picks are just levels that Spaff, Tom & SevenI chose to feature in their special filter of quality or useful levels to play.

Haha. Well if it was your review or a collection of reviews that got the attention of Mm to pick it than that shouldn't apply. Every level that was picked has a date that is displayed of the "info" section of lbp.me on that particular level. Given that it is a recorded event like that, any prior review or heart should not be penalized. That simply means you found and praised the awesomeness of that level before Mm! All hipster like!

Well... participation in events like the Vita game jam is a bit understating their reasons for getting one. Quite a few of those people should have already had one for other reasons. So not totally fair to say that is the only reason they got one was for attending that. More of a make up bestowal.

I can respect that. It was probably only about half of those Game Jam attendees that didn't already have a crown. Plus I'm fairly certain that is how Ungreth got his to which I'd agree that he is overdue.

Sorry Jdubs but I do have a rant a bit.. of course.. I really just wish there were more ways of "being significant" in Mm & Tarsiers eyes enough to be invited to these events or participate in betas.. I've personally spent over $300 in lbp alone.. I have every version, all DLC, a Vita, Rag-Doll Kung Fu, all it's DLC, create original concepts in lbp and constantly participate (for better or worse) in discussion about lbp with helpful suggestions and features.. yet I and many others who do the same) can't get special privledges or access to exclusive content because we aren't super famous Mm picked creators or fan site contributors!? Thats just a slap in the face to me as such a huge fan, involved player and all around snooty lbp know-it-all lol.. Especially the Vita beta.. so many people were left out..

Do you understand where I'm coming from..? Does anyone feel similarly?

I have every version, all DLC, a Vita, Rag-Doll Kung Fu, all it's DLC, create original concepts in lbp and constantly participate (for better or worse) in discussion about lbp with helpful suggestions and features.. yet I and many others who do the same) can't get special privledges or access to exclusive content because we aren't super famous Mm picked creators or fan site contributors!? Thats just a slap in the face to me as such a huge fan, involved player and all around snooty lbp know-it-all lol.. Especially the Vita beta.. so many people were left out..

Do you understand where I'm coming from..? Does anyone feel similarly?

Well.. if it makes you feel any better, I have never been invited to a jam either. ..though I have been in a few Betas both with LBP1 and LBP2.

Beta for 1 & 2, Mm pick and a crown... No, I feel worse lol. But you earned all that stuff and at least LBPC makes me feel significant & talented. I must say that Hubbie has been the biggest community improvement in all of LBP2. Plus it is just so nice to everyone

Sure, I can see being disappointed in being left out. No way around leaving people out of the game jams, physical space is limited, it's understandable to choose a few known quantities. The beta on the other hand, it would be nice if anyone that wanted to could participate...but I think the selection process is pretty random.

Am I famous? I sure hope not. I have a crown, MM pick, have had access to 2 betas. I just seem to stumble into these things without really trying or making any real contribution to the community...so from my standpoint I don't feel that it's only super-famous uber-fans that are given these little perks/opportunities...that is where I disagree. Some people most likely became well known only after getting a pick/being invited to a game jam, etc.

I also don't think how much stuff you bought should be given any consideration?


all around snooty lbp know-it-all lol..

I think what you bought should have a bit of significance..
It's like saying to Sony, Tarsier & Mm. "Hey guys. I absolutely love your games and content, so I buy it.. and use it... a lot.. all the time. So I'm fairly accustomed to both your tools, social structures and gameplay of your games... Perfect for any sort of testing, debugging and suggestions of improvement/changes. So can I please have access to this content in the case of doing all that? No!? FINE! I'l go rage on Twitter and LBPC about it then!" especially in the case of Sony.. and their lackluster Vita sales & lack of games.

I'd gladly pay for a beta and not complain one bit. Just SOME way to be able to use the new game or features without being a hand picked well known creator or a randomly selected lucky person. (which in the case of beta testing and debugging isn't randomly selecting people pretty much the worst way to go about that?)

I remember I got the glitched crown a while back and only wore it to goof off. It's not like it can really go with any costume.

You were saying?

A Crown from you would surely mean more than one from MM as an after thought...
While someone that worked hard his butt for free for the Community has much higher value and deserves 100% of my respect.

You sir, have different eyes from MM.
I didn't did anything.
Things did them by themselves and I put my name on it.
So...you're horribly wrong sir.

Yes, things are usually done by themselves. Modern times. People just spoil everything.

Wait.. I thought all contest crews got crowns Omega! Ya know, since... all spotlighters & news crews did.. and a few people that have put info on the wiki...


Thanks but those threads are never good and frowned at.
So, don't worry

This is total bs too.. Any thread that talks about who and why so many others deserve hand given pins as well as my ideas for making better use of those pins in the form of creator search filters & pin rankings (to organize & educate the community a bit better) are completely attacked & disregarded!

It blows my mind that so many people are against these kids of things.. as is upsetting that no one wants such cool features

"More people awarded rare pins, more specified secret pins that explain what that particular holder has done to get them, pins awarded for actual community activity & a feature that allows you to find all of them in-game? Screw that! Horrible ideas!"

When I got mine a beam of light came out of the screen and I was really happy. Also, the screen shook and the colours went all strange. After that the greek goddess of Love was feeding me grapes.... which is when I woke up . lol

In all seriousness though, I really enjoy not having a crown because it give me something to work for and something to strive for.

I got mine for being on the Spotlight Crew here. I must say, it's a big honor to be rewarded for my work here, but It's really just the same as owning a piece of any other DLC.
This is especially apparent if it doesn't at all go with your costume. (It makes the main costume I use look really stupid.)
If I wear it around my friends who don't have it, I also can't help but feel as if I'm being an elite-est showoff. In fact, the only time I actually WEAR the crown is if my friends and I are "Diving in" with some seven year olds just for laughs.

Although, I will proudly display the pin. It feels somehow different to display an exclusive pin than it does for a costume.

How does it feel....

Well, the sun is a bit brighter. The air is a bit fresher. My wife loves me more. My son respects me more. People come up to me on the street and ask me for autographs.

I'd say my life got at least 12.45% better since my crown. I've been thinking lately how I can "give back" something to the little people. You know, the people who got me where I am today. Maybe a digital "thank you for your support" pin.

I kinda wish they would make a new crown. The current one is nice, but a new shinier crown that maybe is somehow dynamic would be awesome. Like if you wear it there would always be a shining glow behind your sackboy/girl lol.2012-07-02 01:47:00

For me, when I see people giving me reviews who have crowns, I respect their opinion more. So, actually having one myself makes me more careful about what I say to people.2012-07-16 18:31:00

I agree there are many people out there who deserve the crown. However, getting the crown also has a bit of a luck factor as well.

Edit: Also I've worn the crown before... It's just a piece of headgear. lol

when I was awarded the crown for my Titanic series I was honored. I still wear it just so I know how far I have come in the lbp community. Its nothing special to wear but I always use it as a reminder to myself as I was always told that I would not get anywhere in littlebigplanet.2012-07-16 21:28:00

Well, us over at Creme of the Crop dont have crowns. So not EVERY spotlight crew has crowns. But frankly, the Creme of the Crop team consists of like 10 members, so its not reasonable to give out 10 crowns at once.

And, tbh, i dont really care if I have a crown. I like my costume the way it is and I usually dont play with others anyways.
