New Ranking System

by **narominded** on Wed May 30, 2007 2:08 am

I dont like being demoted either. I do however, like my lieutenant medal. It is much cooler than the major ranking above me.

definitely agreed there, corporal 1st class looks WAY too much like sergeant 1st class.

And the shop utterly sucks too!

Can't say I like 'em. But maybe I'm old fashioned. I miss seeing the icons of rank next to names of players in the game list. It makes it easier to think of which game I might join.

OK let me get this right ......I battle my way to 1600+ points and the rank of Major.......only to find out that I have been demoted to Seargent a week later despite the fact that I havent lost a game during that time span ??????

Dont get me wrong I like the graphics but I think the reranking was too drastic.......I went from a having a rank that is usually held by a BATTALION COMMANDER........to a SQUAD LEADER under the new system

I didnt even recieve a court martial ...nor did I resign my commision......what say you TOO DRASTIC OR NOT

:shock:

i think it all looks really cool and congratulate the creators, however 500 more points to major!?!?!?! :shock:

haha. i actually think all of the demotions are good, spreads everyone out more, well done lack and everyone else that helped

by **AK_iceman** on Wed May 30, 2007 2:24 am

Meh... I dropped from Colonel to Captain, but now I just have to try harder to gain rank. :wink:

im hoping youre not being serious......... and if you are BOO-HOO get over it, everyone got demoted (except gibbom) so it dosent really make any difference, it just adds more to gain from winning.......about 50 extra ranks

never heard of major being in charge of a battalion - except maybe in the Liberian militia

by **MeDeFe** on Wed May 30, 2007 3:03 am

I don't quite see the point of this remake. The points are still calculated the same way as before.

by **RobinJ** on Wed May 30, 2007 3:04 am

Whoa! I think the limits have been set a tad too high! Can't believe I'm a sergeant again! And where have the little symbols next to our names gone when we are playing?

by **flashleg8** on Wed May 30, 2007 3:07 am

Why are some ranks silver and some gold? Anyone know?
Also are singles games worth more than doubles now?

Nah it's all pretty amazing - I was so excited when I logged on today and saw all this extra stuff. Still, I'm not too happy about being a sergeant again! :lol:

gold = premie
silver = tightwad

Silver is freemie and gold is premie. Don't know about your second point.

P.S. I think somebody needs to merge this thread with the other one

Damn you're fast mods! =D>

The graphics are good, but just changing the points and games needed to get a certain rank won't make people stop bitching about:

professional team players trying to lure inexperienced players into their games to get their points
professional freestyle players checking their games every 5 seconds to make sure they gain the bonus from 3 continents they wouldn't be able to hold if anyone ever managed to take a turn before they do
players who play only escalating on a single map they know in and out and you don't have a snowballs chance in hell to win against
players who play only no cards on a single map they know in and out and you have only a snowballs chance in hell to win against

and so on.

I've just spotted another good update feature (though it could have been here for ages :oops:

), you can search for more than one feature in waiting games - for example no-cards and flat rate, 2,3,&4 player games at the same time. Handy.

by **juventino** on Wed May 30, 2007 3:20 am

a short comeback...

I am not sure of the value of winning %. In some way it can tell you if the player plays alot of team games but other then that it is useless.

2,3,4 or 6 players games. Doubble and tripple vs noteam games. I am just not sure why this make it worth of posting winning %

Ok, seriously, who voted GFY??!! I only put it in there so the spamalot people don't jump all over me for leaving it out. I meant this to be serious...come on.

And Lexx, if you read my recent thread about point inflation, it's not all just "commercialism", although now it's like they're exposing the freemies a wee bit too much for my tastes. :oops:
