NEW RANKS Sugestions. [Poll Added]

[lord voldemort]

Cant move something out of the public eye without permission from you know who

me??

i like the graphics

however i dont think the ranks need changing
its just a graphical representation of your score.
although blitz's points suggestion is better
hmm but yer the scoring as is, is perfectly fine

[Qwert]

I didnt say they were bad. I like the stripe ranks you have. Its the way you've used the bevel on the officer badges that I dont like. But to be honest I still prefer the clean crisp image or the current ones. Sorry

me??

Probably you right guys,these all depends on comunity and LackAttack,if they think that need to improve scoring,and for new Ranks, and look of Rank ICons,then maybe he can change something, and these can help a little. Mine opinion is that new ranks and new scoring is need,and if in some point Lack need help with these,i will gladly help,and ofcourse Rank Icon can be made better,but for now these is only a sugestion Images(i work these 3-4 hours).

I think that with change rank of Private and private first class,Specialist now fit with others ranks

I like out current graphics. They are more clean, with thinner edges and less blurry. Also, if you want to re-do them, dont take any of the old ones. they look out of place when compared to the rest.

What you mean? To create complete new ranks? I think that no need for that. Add new ranks and redesing old ranks,its only what need(these is what i think).

this is a little better qwert, but you never reflected this change on page 1, and again, seems to be very large gaps up top, I would close them a little bit.

[Joodoo]

the new ranks seem quite good
is the specialist rank from counter strike because I have a friend who uses facebook and he said that a counter strike game in facebook has the rank of specialist?

[Blitzaholic]

I just thinking,that its better to create some new Ranks,to prevent these inflation of high Ranks,because now you have so many High ranked players,and now its quit easy to get High rank.
These is mine artistic view to new ranks definition. I hope that these will help Lack to implement some new ranks.

I agree with you qwert on your names and a change, but the ranks I disagree a little, and I would suggest this and I think you are very close, but this may be more realistic, ok

The reason being is once you get over 3000 score, especially 3500 score and higher it is extremely challenging to maintain and points are so difficult to come by, I think the gaps or separation should be a little closer and I would suggest what I typed in here may be a little more reasonable, but I do like your vision qwert. I would consider something on the lines I what i just mentioned and it is more reasonable, now in a year or 18 months from now, you all could re-examine this, but this would work and being challenging for many for the next year or more. I like the options of more lower ranks too because it is a lot of fun to attempt to shoot right up through them, and each one you hit and go higher feels very successful and quite an accomplishment for those that do. Respects, Blitz

You must remember it is very difficult to gain points past 3500, very difficult, you may get anywhere's from 3 to 10 points a game and less if you win, and when you lose it's like anywhere's from 40 to 80 and when you get past 4000 it's even harder where you must win at around 90% or go down in score, I tweaked mine a little cause you adjusted yours a little and maybe we can meet in the middle some, if you want to boost field marshal to 6000 then you need to bring up the higher ranks so there is not great big gaps at top and not bottom, make it equal, what I shown here is fair to all ranks, except field marshal I did give a 500 point gap at top as I did cook at bottom, all other ranks is 200 and 300 gaps, and it should be attainable, i mean by next year, I would think you may only have a few field marshal's out of 50,000 plus active players or more, thats not bad, and realistic.

good point Blitz

[Qwert]

Blits,you now have 21000 players,and if you take 5000 to be for Marshall then you have one player who is very close to hit 5000 pt, and you will have many more chance to have more then 2 MArshall when you have 50000 players. With 6000 pt its hard to get these rank,but these is normal that Higer rank be very very dificulty to get what is more realistic then to in 20000 players have 2 marshall, 5-6 generals,and 80-100 colonels.But ofcourse when we come to these point that Lack will want to implement new ranks and scoring,then all sugestion can be discused,and best option can be taken

No these is original rank from US army.

[samwisebrady]

what was wrong with the old ranks and i liked the raking score better as in lieutenant 1800 captain 2000 etc...

[Top Dog]

add a poll so you can see most people say no, including me, just play risk people! and leave the rankings

[Splash_x]

Its a good idea

Qwert, I said 50,000 and maybe a 1, 2, or 3 field marshal's may occur about a year form now or 18 months, (I was projecting) we have NONE now and may not for many more months, and even if a player did hit it eventually, thats ok, by the time 1 or 2 players may hit it, the site will have grown with a lot more players, I think if and when it ever gets achieved, 1 field marshal out of 25,000 players, well, you do the math, its a 1 in 25,000 chance, so thats ok, let there be one, but again, no one has ever got over 5000, and only 1 player has reached 4700 and the dipped. Finally, field marshal has one L not two. peace

You must remember it is very difficult to gain points past 3500, very difficult, and when you get past 4000 it's even harder where you must win at around 90% or go down in score.

If you want to boost field marshal to 6000 then you need to bring up the higher ranks so there is not great big gaps at top and not bottom, make it equal, what I shown here is fair to all ranks, except field marshal I did give a 500 point gap at top as I did cook at bottom, all other ranks is 200 and 300 gaps, and it should be attainable.

Again, I am ok with the 6000 for field marshal but make all the gaps in between ranks equal, like I have 200 and 300 in between all, and 500 at the very bottom and top. The 6000 is a much better realistic suggestion then the 10,000 was last year at this time. I tried to tell all back then the 10,000 was way way way too high and could not be done, and they said it would within a year, you'll see, well the year past and the highest was 4710, only 5300 points off. What I am saying is, maybe in the next 6 to 12 months you may get 1 to 3 players that will hit 5000, so what? nothing wrong with having 2 or 3 field marshal's out of the tens of thousands is my point. Better than having none and being forever away and taking about a year to get to 6000, and then what, raise it again? It is like you all dont want anyone to reach it? Whenever anyone gets even 1500 points away, you all wanna reraise it again, lol

Personally, I think, these are way off mark...

Note that to be on the first page - i.e. the top 250 of the site - of 21380 active users... you need 2300 points...

Yet your ranks are so top heavy that officer level ranking starts at 3000 which at present is the top 36 of users of the site...

Which army did you ever see that had 21000 troops to 36 officers? (584 men per officer)

If your first officer was at 2000 - then you would have 605 officers to the 20775 which is a bit closer... (Approx 35 men per officer)

(And my per officer rating assumes no heirarchy)

I think that because you are a high scoring player - you feel that no-one but the best should be an officer... this just isn't right fair or just (about you).

[vrex]

personally i like joodoos suggestion at the top.. that way i would just go back down to being a sergeant which is what i was before the ranking change. with blitz suggestion i would fall all the way to corporal!! personally i like sergeant ranking being at or near 1400-1600 points but that is because i joined under that system of points...the REAlly old system... i have no idea what rank i would be... i didnt even know there was an older system but still when i look at it joodos suggestion grabs me better than blitzs... i really dont think to get to corporal first class that you need 1800 points... that is my 2 cents

[matt c.]

i think we should add these new ranks, because they it would be harder the gain rank

[Chadwick31]

The graphics aren't great, but that might be because they're blurred or something.

But I do like the idea of 1) adding in a few more ranks and 2) Making a couple of higher ranks.

[MrBenn]

I've had a play around with Qwert's new icons, and come up with something a tiny bit different (* indicates new rank name):

[MrBenn]

My 2 thoughts for possible rank scores are shown below:

Cook 1 1
Volunteer 600 600
Cadet 750 800
Private 900 1000
Private 1st Class 1000 1100
Lance Corporal 1100 1200
Corporal 1200 1300
Corporal 1st Class 1300 1400
Sergeant 1400 1500
Sergeant 1st Class 1500 1600
Sergeant Major 1600 1800
Warrant Officer 1800 2000
Lieutenant 2000 2200
Captain 2200 2400
Major 2400 2600
Lieutenant Colonel 2600 2800
Colonel 2800 3000
Brigadier 3000 3500
Major General 3500 4000
Lieutenant General 4000 4500
General 4500 5000
Field Marshal 5000 6000

I like these Numbers Benny.
