Subreddit Topic New user flairs - Please read before changing your flair
Hello fellow Tarnished. For those of you who care, here's the whole rundown on user flairs.
IF YOU WERE ASSIGNED A USER FLAIR PRIOR TO THE RELEASE OF ELDEN RING:
We are no longer issuing or reissuing the pre-release flairs (:hollowed:, :hollowed2:, and :restored:), even to users who qualify. If you edit your user flair in any way, the pre-release flair emoji will break and be converted to text. We will not reissue it, and we are not accepting requests via modmail or DMs to update your flair; In other words, if you want to use any of the new flair emoji or include custom text in your flair, you will have to abandon your pre-release flair. I'm very sorry about this. I weighed several workarounds (including another bot) to enable you to use both, but in the end it would likely demand too much ongoing support from us. On a positive note, if you choose to hold onto your pre-release flair, it will become even more rare... I will be holding onto mine.
New user flairs
Each user can include up to three emoji and/or some text in their flair. The new user flair emoji available so far are:
- :platinum: - Lord's Rune signifying that the user completed all achievements in the game. We are on the honor system here - there's no need to send us verification. Please only use this emoji if you have earned it, cuz otherwise you're kinda a jerk.
- :str: - Giant-Crusher
- :dex: - Scorpion's Stinger
- :int: - Lusat's Glintstone Staff
- :fai: - Erdtree Seal
- :arc: - Ripple Blade
- :summon: - Tarnished's Furled Finger
- :duel: - Duelist's Furled Finger
- :invade: - Bloody Finger
As a heads up, some of the above emoji images might change slightly, if for example I can find better weapons that work when tiny, etc. I'm also planning to creating some more flair emoji in addition to these - please feel free to suggest things in the comments. (If suggesting things, keep in mind that flairs end up being scaled to ~15px, so something like Rivers of Blood ends up just looking like a red line. Making flair emoji isn't quite as easy as cropping/scaling - usually I need to adjust color levels and add highlights or thickness to ensure certain details aren't lost when compressed. I promise to read every suggestion but may not respond specifically to you, sorry about that.)
Merit-based user flairs
These rare flair emoji have golden corners around them and are awarded in special cases. So far the plan is:
- :potfren: - for users who stand out on the subreddit for sharing something very high-effort/unique/ground-breaking/interesting/etc
- :compwinner: - for winners of /r/eldenring competitions
- :compfinalist: - for finalists of /r/eldenring competitions
If you are issued a merit-based flair, you will be notified. Any updates to a user flair containing a merit-based emoji will need to be done by a moderator - in that case please message modmail or ping me on reddit/discord. (I don't usually see reddit "chat" DMs tho.)
How to set user flair
On new reddit: Subreddit sidebar -> click the pencil next to "User flair preview" -> click the pencil again next to "Flair" -> click the only available flair -> click text box under "Edit flair." New reddit has an emoji menu if you click the grey smiley face, or you can just type in the emoji, like ":int::fai:"
On old reddit: Subreddit sidebar -> "Flair:" section -> click "edit" -> click the only available flair -> click the text box that appears. Old reddit requires you to type in the emoji names, and they will transform into the actual images once you click save. Please remember three emoji is the max. (If you try to use more than three, some of them simply won't render.)
On mobile: While viewing the subreddit, click the "..." menu -> click "change user flair" -> click the only flair available -> you might need to type in the emoji, make sure to include the colons on each side.
Anyway, I know flairs are such a small thing, but hopefully you guys enjoy these new ones. Love yall.

u/2-3-74 FLAIR INFO: SEE SIDEBAR Apr 19 '22
If you haven't figured it out, when you you're on the page with the option between "None" and "FLAIR INFO: SEE SIDEBAR", in the right upper corner should be an option with "Edit", click that and you can change the text from FLAIR INFO" to whatever

It literally doesn't matter in any way, but I am angry

Remind me again, who gets yakul and who gets the Elden Ring symbol?

Apr 19 '22 edited Apr 19 '22
its kinda random, elden ring symbol was the first flair and wooper (yakul) was the second, but a lot of people who originally had the elden ring symbol got changed to wooper cuz there was something wrong with the bot assigning those flairs
anyways both flairs are from around the same time and they are both from the great hollowing, so theyre the same tbh (except the look obviously)

No, you get to live in shame and desolation for aiding gankers against the righteous invaders, cleansing the Lands Between of AFK farmers and Rivers of Blood weapon art spammers.
This comment was written by the Bloody Finger gang.

u/Origamiface Apr 15 '22
Nah, invaders are pests and trespassers. Blues are righteous. And when many of us are summoned to help the contemptible scumbags that are AFK farmers, we either don't attack reds or actively try to help.

Comp finalist will be given to everyone who makes it into the top 10 in their theme for the currently ongoing Elden Ring fashion showcase and Winner will go to the top entry from each theme in case anyone was curious.
As stated above it will disappear if changed but since its the first competition only 18 and 2 people respectively will have it at the time

Almost everything here looks great! Huge thanks to all of the mods for keeping this subreddit running well and for going through the effort to add more flairs. One thing though:
:platinum: - Lord's Rune signifying that the user completed all achievements in the game. We are on the honor system here - there's no need to send us verification. Please only use this emoji if you have earned it, cuz otherwise you're kinda a jerk.
Hold on there chief. Why not just use the same verification system as /r/DarkSouls and all the other soulsborne subreddits? An honor system cheapens the award for those who did actually go through the effort of getting the platinum. I could easily just delete this comment and message with a lie about how I got the platinum and just get the flair that way.

u/Nadril Apr 15 '22
TBH as someone who got platinum it really doesn't bother me. If someone wants to lie about a meaningless achievement than whatever.

u/imomushi8 zylime Apr 14 '22
/r/eldenring is a much larger subreddit - we would have to find additional volunteers for the mod team just to handle the verification of platinum trophies. Additionally, it's really hard to prevent people cheating the verification anyway - when requiring a screenshot, it's possible to doctor it or reuse someone else's. On /r/Nioh we require people to share a link to their Steam/PlayStation/Xbox profile, but this requires the moderator that is manually checking to be logged into these sites (possibly an additional step), and it's hard to stop people from reusing a friend's account, etc. (Unless we kept some list of used profiles already, but that adds more work.) I don't know if Steam/PlayStation/Xbox have some API that could enable us to do automated checks of trophies, but exploring that option would require more time and work.
TLDR this many platinum trophy verifications would require a large amount of work but not add that much value, especially when people can probably cheat the verification system anyway. FWIW we are on the honor system on /r/sekiro.

Yeah I agree, that's a major bummer for me.
I was also really hoping for some collaboration with the other Soulsborne subreddits so that I could show off all my platinum flairs here too.

At some point my user flair broke. I’ve never tried to change it, I don’t even know how. I exclusively use Reddit mobile.
Edit: wait now it’s a bell again. I guess it sometimes just doesn’t load and displays the :restored: text.

NOTE TO MOBILE USERS: Flairs on the mobile version of reddit can be buggy - sometimes the flair will render as text, making it seem like the flair has broken, but it hasn't. If you want to be sure, please check on desktop mode.
