For RIK DEKARD ! Put more ranks there :P

Hello there,

times have changed and the game too, so i propose you to put more ranks there, since number of players dramaticaly decreased, it seems it is time to increase the percentage of ranks depending on player numbers.

So instead of:..................................................................Increased:

.......General ............Max 1 per company...............Max 3 per company
.......Basic General....0.01% of company................0.03 % of company
.......Chief Colonel.....0.1% of company..................0.3 % of company
.......Colonel ............0.5% of company..................1.5 % of company
...... Basic Colonel .... 1% of company....................2 % of company
.......Chief Major....... 1.5% of company..................2.5 % of company
.......Major .............. 2% of company.....................3 % of company
.......Basic Major .......2.5% of company.................3.5 % of company
.......Chief Captain ....3% of company....................4 % of company
.......Captain ............ 3.5% of company.................4.5 % of company
.......Basic Captain ... 4% of company....................5 % of company
.......Chief Lieutenant..4.5% of company................7 % of company
...... Lieutenant ..........5% of company...................8 % of company
.......Basic Lieutenant. 6% of company...................9 % of company
.......Chief Sergeant.... 7% of company...................10 % of company
.......Sergeant ............8% of company..................11 % of company
........Basic Sergeant ... 9% of company..................12 % of company
........Chief Space Pilot..10% of company.................16.67 % of company
..........Space Pilot..........12.29% of company............Newbies
..........Basic Space Pilot..20% of company................Inactive


Since you already changed the ranking system once i do not see any reason why shouldnt it be changed once again.

If you get back on track with 10 + k company members once again then you can change to old ranking system, but use this new one when below 10 K players per company.

With Darkorbit reloaded ranks should be boosted, boost boost boost, and hopefully you will attract more players to join this very expensive game and get it back on track.

Ranks are very important and if you want to keep players playing you must give us something in return.

With 2000 € for virtual spaceship me thinks we should be able to compete, without having to sink 100 € per month just to be competitive.

Fellow players please comment below and support this idea, it is good for everyone.
Ty,

 

1 general should stay as it is, i think the others should probably be doubled.

 

whats the point of changing the % people spent time and money on the game to get there rank for them to change it to make it noobs can get them faster they do nout 4 you the rank could be changed some how but not the %

 

I think 1 General per company should stay as it is. What I think should change is there should be a minimum number of Basic Generals, Chief Colonel and Colonels per company, more than one 3 stars used to be normal, now that doesn't occur in any company on any server.

It's also pretty daft that on servers like GB2 in EIC, Chief Colonel is just as hard to obtain as General is, there is 1 Chief Colonel per company and the difference between 2 stars and General is 200k rps, that's it. One honour booster and someone can go from 2 stars to general :/

 

i would like to see a shake up of the rank system.. it's gone a wee bit loopy of late..perhaps more than one general etc per company fine by me ..make ranks more achievable across the board

 

what about instead of having more people with the same rank... why dont we have more different ranks such as : Chief General ? can u imagine ? 5 stars? or 4? or two big stars? idk

 

A lot of people have been asking for updates to the ranking system and this really should be addressed soon. It would give people like me something more concrete to work towards, and would probably make me more active if it was a good update.

However, I doubt rick will ever see this thread because you spelt his name wrong...

I do however agree with some above there should still only be one general, but everything else needs an overhaul.

At just under 2 mil RPs I should really be a star or something that looks nicer than my nooby chief major rank...

Basic colonel on GB1 (VRU) is about 2 mil and, last time I had basic colonel, Star was about 2.6 mil which is crazy considering I used to be basic colonel at 600k RPs.

Rank is a nice thing as it is next to your ship wherever you go, if people had a better drive to work for it, the game would be a better place ^^

 

I would really love for the ranks to be updated to represent the modern demographic of the game. The change they made years ago in my opinion was a crazy change and rightly obtained the outrage that it did.

I do feel though that each company should only retain one general.

From that thought the ranking system needs an overhaul so that it is unable to inflate as much as it is currently able too.

 

If someone is paying for ranks then that's there problem, the game shouldn't be stagnant because some butthurt players don't want anything they paid for to change, that happens more then often though, the ranks need an overhaul, that's for sure.

 

Interesting idea. Although, I wouldn't like having more then 1 general per each company. It would be good to see an increase in the other ranks though. This should auto increment, relying on more players joining.

More players should mean more ranks.

 

If we're gonna change ranks, knock the botters out of them not give out more.

 

My thoughts: make a specific minimum rp for the ranks below captain.
i.e. 10,000 rp = chief space pilot etc. above captain the ranks continue as they are but with a minimujm amount per company.
1 general is good as it is
im thinking 2 basic gens
3 chief col
or something like that.

 

Problem

Like you said they dont want it to change because they pay for it. Problem is rank points have gone up and up and up making it harder for newer and older players to get ranks at all with people having 80% honor boosters or something esle while doing gates it becomes extremely difficult to get any rank worth while

 

Ranks also went up drastically from bots, something that was never addressed, even now a past botter is number two on my old server, he wasn't even banned.

 

But it went down when they removed Streuners and Lordakias from RPS. Which was a huge disadvantage to botters because well...the majority of botters botted in x2

 

Bots were pretty much everywhere, from x-1 to x-8, it was an event spread of maps packed with bots between all of those maps, removing the RPS gained fro those aliens did some damage to some botters' ranks but was to little and definitely did more bad then good considering it enraged quite a few honest players that earned those RPS.

 

Not really. GA1 we had bots flooding EVERY map. Those being removed dropped ranks like 10k which just shot back up.

 

i remember back in the day there used to be 2-3 basic generals in each company lol. i reckon it should stay as 1 general per company but the other percentages i totally agree with. some people like myself love to play for rank it just makes look abit better lol and i would defo love this. +1

 

Hello,

for now we all agree on one thing, the ranking system needs a change.

I really hope this will get some attention and also i can remember on old forum we got a promise from SEPHIROTH that ranking system will change and that never really happend.

Cheers all

 

We also got a promise that the ammo cap would be removed but that never really happened.

We also got a promise that the game would be flooding with new players but that never really happened.

We also g...

I will stop now.
