[UI] Server Merge Rank Solution

So I thought of an idea for the server merge. We all know people are going to be mad about how they will lose their ranks. What if you merge servers and have separate ranks for each server. So on one server you could have like a East 1 general, East 2 general, and an East 3 general. This is beneficial because you could also create new quests such as kill 50 players from East 2. Let me know what you think of this. It could solve the rank issue and prevent people from quitting the game. This would also create new quests for people in the game and could bring more activity. People can still grind for their dream rank and still enjoy the game.

 

"People can still grind for their dream rank and still enjoy the game. "
People don't really enjoy the game. The rank chasers chase ranks because rank is the only thing you can "fight" for since PvP is dead. What we need is a relatively cheap game, that will have more players to play with/against.

Aside from that, I'm not really sure what to say about your idea.

 

Server Merges begin in January 2018 , A new Ranking formula is in the works and not necessarily being employed during the server merge event

 

I agree with neoonoma, a cheaper game that focused more on pvp and less on ship grind/quest would help with the new players actually staying and spending. I never look at a game and think boy that grinding sure look fun...

3500 cube quest... really those should not be a solo npc anyways.

I spend 185k uri in the gate spinner a few days ago and did not even build a gate. 100k use to get you all 3 gates.

On lf4 day I could expect 6 to 9 lf4 with 300 keys now I am lucky if I get 2.

200 keys last week I got 2 Zeus parts.

Leveling up drone at 90% and 3 of 10 failed. So i tested 10 at 10% and all failed. the math does not work...

I really do not know why I am even trying to build a ship anymore. GA1 is still fun and far better then US servers but the grind is crazy...

 

how about changing rank system at merger to something like you get so many rank points you get that rank and get so many more for the next rank and so on. don't make rank limited to a certain number of this one or that. anymore what does it matter how many generals there are. your rank then shows how much you played.

also eliminate some of the rank elements from gates so it's not so much a gate bash game for rank. you gotta get out into the world and do stuff (besides newbie hunting).
