Lahmia.2193 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I'd rather we could remove the ability for my enemy to see my rank. I've found I get focused far more as a mithril than I ever did before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apokriphos.7042 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I would really prefer if WvW had ranks such as bronze.. silver.. gold.. recruit, then move up. The current system is significantly less straightforward. This change would allow for players to better estimate potential enemy skill level instead of having to remember where silver colonel comes in the ranking list.

I don't play much WvW, and honestly I don't care about my/others rank, but, wouldn't this cause more grieving for the more casual players that are still trying to catch up with the others? Honestly I notice the opposite. We generally focus the higher rank players first in small group combat, as they are usually the party support or the main source of DPS.

I been 10k for 4 yrs. They won't unlock the 10k limit but don't forget with the new wvw system coming they already said there will be a new carrot on a stick ie ranking system. Probably alliance/wvw based ranking system instead. Personally with three 10k ranked accounts I kinda don't want to have to max them again.

The current system is significantly less straightforward. This change would allow for players to better estimate potential enemy skill level instead of having to remember where silver colonel comes in the ranking list. I've never bothered to memorize the sub-levels. I'll use the mineral references only, to make a wild guess at experience level of the player. Typically a non-mineral isn't going to have the same experience as a diamond. That's assuming the non-mineral isn't an alt account. Usually, the diamonds are a challenge to fight. Usually. Of course that's also assuming they aren't trying out a different character class (who doesn't get bored and experiment on occasion?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WJHB.8130 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I would not mind it showing up when targeting a player, however if it was up 24/7 it'd just turn into a charlie foxtrot of numbers whenever a zerg ran by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We generally focus the higher rank players first in small group combat, as they are usually the party support or the main source of DPS. You already can see enemy rank, and yeah it works the other way because you need to take care of the bigger threat first. Being able to see the rank of unpartied server-mates around you means you have a better idea of who the enemy server might focus, because at the moment you don't know unless you recognise everyone around you.

You can see the enemy ranks... Always.. Most of us actually start going for the highest ranked person first because the lower ranks will generally split back or run away if you rush for the highest ranked player.

MANY of those with really high ranks only k trained EotM to get the rank, so having a high rank really loses value due to these people (same that use bots or win trading to get ranks in PvP and get on leaderboard....the leaderboard loses value) > > This is all just imo ofc Nah, I'd like to know who the enemy is going to focus in a zerg. I know that when we see a higher level rank on the enemy team we will immediately turn and focus said higher ranked player. After they're dead then we will go for the rest because they're usually split up and running away at that point. Being able to see the same ranks on my side would help me know who the enemy is likely to try to focus on and be ready to withstand said attack then counter it. For me it's about having added information, add in that if you know someone next to you is a much lower rank then you, you have different expectations than you would have of someone who is a much higher rank then you. It'd be kinda nice to have a separate ranking system for "class" so that if you're new to playing wvw with a specific class your teammates will know it and be able to recognize it. For me ranking systems are about setting expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klipso.8653 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Would be nice to see outside of WvW just like the sPvP emblums. Let us choose which one to display. Inside of WvW I'd rather not see them to reduce clutter. Just like how we don't see PvP emblums in sPvP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And all the people saying this is why I want the opposite, an option to hide rank completely. This would also help commanders to deal with pin snipe.
