Title: Multi-player ranks
Post by: Volcom on April 09, 2011, 04:57:22 PM: I think it would add a lot of immersion if there were some sort of long-term ranks to achieve, similar to other online shooter games.

Something like:

Airman- 0 kills
Airman First Class- 5 kills
Senior Airman- 15 kills
Staff Sergeant- 30 kills
Technical Sergeant- 50 kills
Master Sergeant- 75 kills
Senior Master Sergeant- 105 kills
Chief Master Sergeant- 140 kills
Second Lieutenant- 190 kills
First Lieutenant- 250 kills
Captain- 320 kills
Major- 400 kills
Lieutenant Colonel- 490 kills
Colonel- 600 kills

You could then display on the player tags. Thoughts?

The community knows who is good.

and score is not who the true "good" players are measured. ;)

The current ranking system only shows who know how to stack the score in their favor. If HTC would be able to tie the ranking and scoring to the actual plane used I bet the whole "best 100" would be turned upside down. Currently, the scoring and ranking is the same if the kills and damage are scored in a Tempest as it is in a P40B. :)

So no this idea really wouldn't work well in my opinion.

Airman- 0 kills

AIRMAN? Why that sounds like something from a comic book.

Post by: tf15pin on April 11, 2011, 06:00:41 AM: -1 to the idea, but you could make it more workable by having average # of kills per tour rather than just the sum of all kills. Even then it would be skewed heavily by GVs and people who can get several thousand kills in a tour by spawn camping.

This would be more of a measure of free-time you have to fly. Even a 6 year old would get 600 proxies eventually.

Title: Re: Multi-player ranks
Post by: Plazus on April 12, 2011, 12:17:31 AM: I would like to add another rank, which I feel me and most of my squad could acquire fairly easy: Senior Aviation Wreckage Salvager. Would require 600 augers within a single tour to be qualified.

Thank God this game is completely UN-like other "online shooter games"

I'm thinking about what rank Dr7 would have with his more than 200,000 kills... His Unfathomable Holiness the Grand Emperor of the Universe? :uhoh

Post by: Lab Rat 3947 on April 19, 2011, 06:36:50 PM: Howabout

first year player = Flight Officer
second year player = 2nd Lt.
third year player = Lt.
fourth year etc. etc.

See where I'm going with this?

Rank by seniority, kills don't count.

Afterall, rank doesn't always mean you're good. History proves that.

Sorry, I just couldn't resist tossing this in. Must be the beer. :old:
