How does the trophy/rating system work?

[Ano]

So far after my time in the game I've aquired many trophies/badges/ratings, whatever you want to call them. Mostly in the bronze/silver range, though I have two gold and zero diamond as of yet; I just can't seem to figure out how the ratings work.

example, I shoot a smallish coyote, common fur, nothing special at around 20 yards away. I get a gold trophy. I take a bull moose with a .243 with 1 shot, runs about 5 meters and falls, massive rack and 1,100 lbs, but no rating? It even goes as far as to say it was an "easy" prey. I don't quite understand how this all works, and I'm hoping maybe someone else may have a decent idea.

I'm starting to think the trophy rating system is very random. I too haven't gotten any Diamond trophies yet, but 2 Gold and a few bronze/silver. But lately most of my kills just don't give me trophies. For example, I recently downed a bull fallow deer that weighed around 90kgs (200lbs) and I received no trophy, whereas I have killed cows before and received trophies for them. The last two bears I killed also gave me no trophies, but the very first bear I killed gave me a gold. I am also in search of answers.

Btw here is an example of a Diamond trophy someone snagged over on theHunter subreddit: http://i.imgur.com/V8Vw4fA.jpg

Its all about the trophy rating that gives you bronze/silver/ect. You need 100% on most everything and a high trophy rating, like his 200. Though, with a moose I've had a 231 trophy rating, his 900+ (don't remember the exact number) and still only had gold. I'm pretty sure its species specific? I'm not quite sure if species does play a role in the calculations or not, but I'd really like to know.

I've done a lot of research on this over the past month by recording all the details of my harvests since then. I've noticed three constants. The Quick Kill bonus adds up to 166.66 to the score. The same applies to the Integrity Score bonus and Consecutive Kills bonus. If you get all three at 100%, they add a total of 500 points to the score and automatically grants a bronze rating.

After that is the trophy rating. I'm pretty sure it gets added directly to the final score. What I cannot figure out is what else affects the score. Look at the following three examples:

A male bison with a difficulty rating of 2 - minor. The final score was 682. 500 of which came from three 100% bonuses. Calculating 682 - 500 = 182. The trophy rating was 112 so 182 - 112 = 70. What is contributing those 70 points?

A female black bear with a difficulty rating of 3 - very easy. The final score was 647. 500 of which came from three 100% bonuses. Calculating 647 - 500 = 147. The trophy rating was 15 so 147 - 15 = 132. What is contributing those 132 points?

A male red deer with a difficulty rating of 6 - hard. The final score was 777. 500 of which came from three 100% bonuses. Calculating 777 - 500 = 277. The trophy rating was 152 so 277 - 152 = 125. What is contributing those 125 points?

If anyone figures it out, I'd like to know. I'll eventually get around to putting all my data into a spreadsheet and come up with a solution. I have data on close to 100 harvests spread across all species.

Riskz already did a thorough write up on this.

Those were useful links! I see that there is a simple formula to calculate the score:

Score = 166.7 * (Q + I + C) + 500 / Tm * Tr

Where:

Score = the whole number portion of the calculation, max score is 1000
Q = quick kill bonus, 100% = 1.00
I = integruty bonus, 100% = 1.00
C = consecutive kills bonus, 100% = 1.00
Tr = trophy rating
Tm = max trophy rating of that species (refer to the links in previous post for trophy ratings)

I suggest writing it as

Score = 500*( (Q + I + C) / 3 + Tr / Tm )

id would of thought it would of been based on boon & crocket
or pope & young Depinding on weapon use
or some known scoring system in the world and your money earned on score
You guys sys still off i think too
shot a 6pt white tail had gold
was Q I C =100% 4 hard With a 243
Very next white tail was a 14pt
Same Q I C=100% 4 hard With 243
had no score ONLY thing that was dif was 14pt was worth more money
So i think its a random scoring thing

I prefer my way because it guarantees there will never be division with a zero such as when all three bonuses are zero. I was going to write mine as "500 / 3 * (Q +..." to be more precise but the game never shows the numbers to the right of the decimal place so the accuracy is moot.

The only random element is the trophy rating of the animals you find. Don't confuse difficulty rating with trophy rating. They're not the same. Trophy rating varies within the same difficulty rating. Plug your numbers into the score formula to prove it is not random.

Keep in mind that the score formula does not calculate XP or cash. I have no desire to determine the formulae for them.

I'm not sure I understand, are you saying that there is something wrong with 0 / 3?

No. I prefer my way, you prefer yours.

What kind of scoring system does Classic use?

Also, for the antlers, doesn't Classic also have that TrueRack tech (or whatever it's called) for randomized antlers? Now that is definitely something we need in this game!
