Should soldat have ranks?
« on: February 13, 2010, 05:36:18 am »
so should soldat have ranks like you just started soldat and you have just blank ranking.
example: 2 years played pro with 100000000000000000000000000 killz has like a 5 star rating or something
or a noob with 30 killz has a line or triangle or some kind of symbol after his name.
do you know what i mean?
it would be cool.
people have rankings and symbols after their names.

Soldat does'nt fit well with ranks/levels.
Everyone in there is equal-only their skill defines them. Ranks don't make a difference in gameplay unless an 'extra' feature(which probably won't happen) compliments it.

You mean different "levels" and "ranks" for a 2D-SideScroller? With K/D? With profiles? With stats? For 100k unregistered users? Sorry, no, just no. It is okay in WarRock but it just doesn´t fit Soldat.

In my opinion Soldat Portal (1.5.1) may contain it.

Won't do us any good, soldat's supposed to be simple, you play to frag pixels apart, not to get e-fame...
Plus, this is in the DO NOT SUGGEST! list...Read the stickies before you post.

Technically there are ranks in the Portal, however it is time based so not really a respectable rank. It's just there for shits and giggles. But yeah, don't put this idea in the "never going to happen" bin, it is a possibility.

If its a ratio K/D some ppl will focus on ratio only and start playing for frags, not for the win playing pubs. Like on Leo's Realistic CTF. Once i used to have 2:1. But it dont lead me get somewhere better, only better stats. Btw i even removed my f1 key some years ago(okay we got HUD), so i rly dont care for stats.

It's ;like asking if Halo split-screen should have ranks.

It doesn't work.

It's a seen thing.. Glorious achievements that are permanent thus bragable
might fire up people to play more seriously..which would be sort of good.

You can actually feel this heavy atmosphere in servers that includes stats and all that top5 junk stuff.
But since these already exists in these concerning servers, I voted no.

If it's something that is not time- or even skill-dependent - then it'd be a nice addition.
What I hate about ranks, level systems and such is that if you want to be high-ranked - you have to play a lot and play hard. One who plays the most and the best - is the high rank. And as player's rank grows - so does their ego. There's already enough assholes in Soldat.

I F12 on ranks idea if their main purpose will be to show player's style. Not how good or how long he's been playing, but how he's playing. Rusher, sniper, support, explosives expert, spec-op - all that would be totally fair and won't give anyone a reason to brag about their stats.

example: 2 years played pro with 100000000000000000000000000 killz has like a 5 star rating or something
or a noob with 30 killz has a line or triangle or some kind of symbol after
Or: a pro who just started playing (or made a new account) and has only 20 kills. And a noob who's been spawnkilling and camping for 2 years will be bragging about his stats and thinking he's a real pro. And the worst part - other players will more likely listen to him rather than "some noob with only 20 kills a silly triangle".

-----------

Didn't vote.. too many useless options.
Make it 3 - yes, no, and something like "not sure/maybe"

Not necessarily. "pro" and "smart" are different things. I've seen some skilled players who b***h and whine even worse than noobs. Being considered a pro is just another common reason why some players get too full of themselves.

Don't put it the way this is only a problem that online games have. Someone who has not many muscles and wants to train at a gymn will be a noob either, even if he was a "pro" before (he had muscles before). Same for any RPG game (be it WoW or Flyff or any other MMORPG you can think of). And people are unmature and dumb, ranks / no ranks change nothing about it.

You can have ranks in each/specific server, but not the whole damn game, that'll be a little bit redundant.
