valid Adding Prestige to Legend Ranks

[Defense 25]

Now, as most of you know, many popular MMO games have a system of Prestige; once you reach a certain amount of experience of level, you hit Prestige 1, and then it restarts as Prestige 1, level 1. Im not suggesting this exact Prestige system, but rather, I believe Prestige Should work like this:

 

-After reaching Legend 8, (1,600,00 after legend, or basically hitting legend again) you receive Prestige 1. After this, your Prestige increases by 1 every 8 Legend ranks, For example: you can be Prestige 5, Legend 43. 

 

-As your Prestige increases, you player should subsequently increase. 

 

-Prestige should be a factor when matchmaking players when hitting the "Battle" button(Note: Dividing Rank brackets into Prestige is impossible(declined idea), However this shouldn't be)

 

-As a player increases their Prestige they could gain achievements in the player profile section

 

-As a player increases their Prestige they could unlock special paints unavailable for purchase with crystals for example: There could be a unique paint for every 1 Prestige starting from Prestige 3, until a player reaches Prestige 5, where they will receive a special paint commemorating their incredible achievement in the Game.

 

-Now, this idea may be a bit controversial, But when a player reaches a new Prestige, they should get a rankup bonus of 50.000 crystals instead of the usual 40.000 when ranking up in the legend rank, to celebrate their milestone.

 

Anyways, if anyone has any other ideas on the subject it would be much appreciated, and if it would personally affect you or the game as the whole, feel free to reply! :)

ok :)

I think the current system is just fine as it is now.

While I do agree the current system is O.K., all games should strive to improve themselves, and adding Prestige would add a new dimension of achievement to the game. Also, video games work by giving players subtle awards, which release Dopamine(a chemical released, that makes you feel pleasure or joy) in the brain. This causes the players to come back for more, as Dopamine makes you feel good. That said, once you reach the legend rank, many players feel they have achieved all that they should in game, and can easily become disinterested. By adding Prestige, Tanki could keep their players coming back for longer, and interest them far past the inital legend rank, rejuvinate the fun of achieving things in the Legend ranks, and improve matchmaking!

This is the most important point for dividing ranks. Legend rank basically did nothing because its threatened as 1 rank, not infinite. ou have to make some system like this!!!!1

Will if this gets implemented it better be done before I reach legend 16, I want my extra 10k :ph34r:

The game knows exactly if you are Legend 1, 2 or whatever.

If I check the profile of captain.x above, it tells me he is rank 43.

So in order to match Legends of higher grade, this system is not necessarily needed.

Perhaps this is not needed to match legends together, however, it may be needed in order to spice the game up for the higher level legends who are getting bored.

I do see some common sense here, but let's face it, the devs have their hands full at the moment, so don't be expecting it to be implemented to the game right away :D

Like very good idea. I think this keep the higher players playing for some cool paints and keep tank alive... at least for a bit longer :D

i meant the matchmaking system is absolutely weird, even gizzmos can make battle to captain rank, so developers LIE

 

 

the bracket for Generalissimos has been decreased to Brigadier - Generalissimo

matchmaking:

We do not have a matchmaking system yet. All we have now is a battle button that put's you in a battle where your rank is allowed, no matter if you are underpowered there or not.

The matchmaking is currently developed.. and after it iis released it will be improoved. So do not expect much at the start.

 

 

for the rank ranges:

You always have to differentiate between two things

- max possible rank range, can be found here

- default rank range (much less then the max possible rank range). This is the default rank range that is given, if you press the "create" button in the lobby.

sorry, i used the wrong word. i meant "battle button". But then why are there battles for generalissimo - captain

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

..because they obviously changed the default rank ranges -.-

 

They introduces reduced default rank ranges a while ago, to prevent exactly this problem. Because of your post I now checked it; I went to an empty server, clicked the battle button, it created a battle for me. Then I left the battle and checked the rank range. It was ...

And if I create the battle via the creation menu, it is the same.

Well.. this is not very useful :-/

 

I do not know why they changed it.. and as far as I know there was no notification about that change.

The only reason that makes sense to me, is that they want to fill battle button battles faster. This would be in line with the removal of the server community split, as well with the widening of the default rank ranges.

 

Sorry for that.

If you need a workaround then I would propose to connect to one server lower (if you are logged in at EU10, then move to EN11) and try your luck there.

Legend 20+ should not be allowed to play with Commanders or Generallisimos except in xp/bp.

This system isn't entirely leaning on matchmaking, it is very beneficial to have more ranks instead of an infinite Legend system. In CoD there's a different icon for different Prestige, which itself is divided in 55 ranks.

 

This idea however, divides each Prestige in 8 ranks, so each time you climb 8 ranks of Legend, you get a new icon, like this:

Yes i understood that.

But it was claimed that this prestige system will provide better means for matchmaking as it allows to tell apart Legend 1 from Legend 9.. so I replied and explained that the means to differentiate between those Legend1/2/3/25 are already here.

 

 

 

But as you write that it is beneficial to have more ranks then the Legend system.. could you please explain why you think so?

Is there any advantage except having more fancy rank icons (which some players love, no doubt) and that we all have to memorize if we like to (which we will, no doubt either). Is there.. anything more?

[Hex 11,520]

Yep, someone who just became a Legend can never have another icon next to their name now, because no matter what rank of Legend is he/she, they will always have the Legend icon. I mean there are still people who are Legend 70 and 80+, even 100+ who are playing the game and will still have the same icon even if they reach Legend 200 or something.

 

So, isn't it better to commemorate these players' efforts and give them a new icon every time they cross 6, 8, 10 or just any set number of Legend ranks?

They could just create an alt.  :rolleyes:

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

So summed up the idea is about new Icons to differentiate Legend ranks

(I'm just asking as I associated something completey different with a prestige system")

For most players, playing with two accounts isn't a viable option.
