Re: OMG, stats!11

I'm looking forward to his and think it should help improve the mod and get more players on the servers. I dont like the idea of unlockables as IMO it just allows experienced players to beat on noobs who have nothing extra to play with. Awards and ranks though still give people something to aim for and have fun doing so.

So how will the dev appointments work? will the devs be playing on a certain server like a tryout server or something and if you do good enough you make it?

We're still deciding how we will choose who earns those ranks.

Re: OMG, stats!11

How about letting community games decide? At the end of each game, all players get to nominate one other player they feel deserve the rank for his superior efforts on the battlefield. For example 'I nominate x for his great squad leader skills in the last three rounds. The four players with the most nominations get the four top ranks until the next Community Game.

Possibly an idea?

That works if people are genuine, otherwise it starts to become a he's my mate I'll vote for him, or vote for me and we'll vote on X next time around etc. Plus if you have a good round or three and annoy the other team with a lot of kills they're not gonna vote for you are they? If it relies more on skill etc on the battlefiled, then if the rank system does attract more players, rewards like this to hold the top ranks are the things that are more likely to attract hacks just so people can get to those hard to reach rankings.

I dont know how you could apply those top ranks, but if we start getting more of a player base and attracting more clans, how about giving those ranks to the clan leaders? It wont rely solely on skill but will denote if a clan member is on if they hold a high 'command' position. People can then get bragging rights for taking out the so called commanders. This could also make it fun for things like that inter galactic league thing or whatever its called.

Re: OMG, stats!11

but i guess anything is better than the way EA decides who gets the top ranks atm, since its only gonna be the guys who spend most time in front of their pc, rdx-whoring most of the time and playing just for score and not for the team...

i like the idea with the community games, though on how to decide who gets a rank i have my doubts that it would work out for the same reasons twigs stated above.

Re: OMG, stats!11

It's possible we may let the community decide for at least some of the ranks.
