    Single Platinum Knight Club (For the newer riders)

    I thought weee99's post for the Double Platinum Knight Club was a good idea and thought that his initial statement in that post (which I've copied & pasted below) was spot-on as well, as many other players will be doing the same (fighting hard) and although there IS a suit for the 1st 75 medals it's still a good achievement worth posting about, so I thought I'd make this post for the slightly newer players among us.....

    weee99's Initial statement: I remember not too long ago I was fighting hard to get 75 platinum medal tracks for The Platinum Knight outfit and how good it felt to finish up that goal.

    Hope you don't mind me adding to your idea weee99 mate !?



    So I'll start us off since then as I'm still fairly new to Frontier, I've been playing pretty much every day for about 2-3 months now.....Before the Mission Blitz that I decided to do over the past few weeks (I've made a separate post if you want to read about it) I thought I'd check to see how many more I needed to be able to get the coveted Platinum Knight Suit and was surprised that I only needed 6 more and I've managed to get them and a few more since.....I just wish we had a proper Stats section in the game so we could check how many we've got in total without having to manually count them on the map and keep updating a note somewhere as I've actually got 82 Platinum Medals now !!



    I was happy to see that the head piece was significantly reduced in Gem Price once I'd got the 75 medals.....In my opinion 10 Gems per item is as much as ALL the outfits should cost once we've collected the required goal amounts, as some of the prices are crazy, even more-so as some outfits don't even have any attributes but still need 75+ Gems to own them !!


    So, if you're a fairly new Frontier Rider OR even if you're seasoned and just got your 1st 75 Platinum Medals then leave a screen-shot post (like I've done above) and I'll add you to the list below ok !?

    Hey I don't mind at all. I think there will be a lot more people, as you can see the platinum knights racing you in the bunker very often in the legends league. Also, you need to buy the outfit to be a platinum knight!

    Yeah that's true there will be a lot more but I feel it's still a good milestone achievement, that's quite hard for many people, and I thought it was worthy enough of an achievement to have a thread of it's own as well.....But seeing as it's had over 60 views already but only you (weee99) have replied, they obviously don't feel the same, unless none of them have hit the 75 yet then fair enough !?


    I also agree that you have to buy the outfit as well as earn the 75 Medals to be a Platinum Knight.....I just wish they had made it so we're only be eligible to buy it once we've collected 75 Platinum Medals as I've raced a few players in the Bunker that had the outfit but you could tell that they must have just paid the crazy amount of Gems to get it early as their times weren't quite Platinum worthy yet !!

    It's worth the effort and wait in my opinion, as it's a personal pride thing plus the price of the outfit drops to 10 Gems each piece, as I've shown in my screen-shot above !!



    Anyway, Cheers for your approval weee99 mate, I was a bit concerned that you might have thought it a bit cheeky of me (or something along those lines) but I simply meant the thread to be another place for more of our fellow riders to shout about and get acknowledged for their achievements / milestones etc. !!

    Hit 75 plats? Well yes I did, just can't be bothered to count them but I'm lacking the most difficult ones... that's all (to this moment available) tracks minus 5 for me. I do have all outfits aside Samsarian torso/legs and a miss the diver's head. Do I count in?

    btw, I started playing on September or OCtober 2014, so I'm not so new but also not quite ragged

    You can add me to the list too, I guess. :P Even though I am one track away from being a Double Platinum Knight.

    They made it a lot easier to get the Platinum Knight when they started adding the newer levels. I remember it being a big accomplishment when I first got it. Maybe if they did achievements and it would only count with original levels would be a more worthy badge.

    Ok no probs, I'll take the hint.....Clearly not many people think that getting 75 Platinum Medals is a decent enough achievement in this game any more, I can understand why I guess.....Thanks to those that replied anyway !!


    If you're a moderator reading this then please close or preferably remove this thread altogether.....Cheers !!

    I don't think you need to remove it, it's just most of us have been around a while so it's something we've all done at this point. And, like was said, it was a lot harder when there weren't 150 tracks. Before the bunker and frostpocalypse, there was around 100 tracks, and a lot of them were random loot wheel or slot machine tracks so it was tough. Add the non-upgraded bikes to the mix and plats were just harder to get. I had several tier 2 plats that I just couldn't get with my low mantis, but it's a lot easier now. You should still feel proud of what you've done, don't let us diminish that, we all know that there are different stages of greatness in this game. It's a long grind.

    tl;dr: Display your e-peen with pride!
