staan 24 Posted June 16, 2018 because usually after 1 second of a squeaker telling someone they have to listen to them because they have a higher rank they leave the server forever Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dirty Dan 17 Posted June 16, 2018 3 minutes ago, Roque said: How would it save the server? More role play and more options when the server is dead you can grind levels. And if a squeaker is telling you what to do that’s your falt for letting a kid out grind you. But that’s my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most people aren't going to sit and grind out ranks to get access to better gear, if ranks get implemented say goodbye to a decent amount of people Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm saying that it's a nice idea in theory but people aren't going to do missions and patrol to rank up, if you've noticed Blufor sits in Strykers or snipes in Rasman.

That’s the point of adding ranks to help add variety to the server and i see what your saying and if it does fail then we can always change back but if wouldn’t hurt to try it out and see what people think. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

staan 24 Posted June 16, 2018 (edited) i would support it if they made it where an arrest of a wanted person was +1 and a indi or civ terror kill was a +1 and a kill on an unarmed civ was -20 and -5 on an unwanted armed civ then the scores made up the rank. cause i sure see a lot of unarmed civ kills from blufor and when i play blu i arrest as many as possible and pretty much ignore or help unwanted civs. Edited June 16, 2018 by staan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

staan 24 Posted June 16, 2018 true but as blufor i run across armed civs that are licensed and legal and cooperative all the time, most blufor just shoot them on sight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ANC 25 Posted June 16, 2018 from what iv heard it may be something like the arma 3 server with a chain of command were most will start at the bottom and they will have to climb the ranks some will be command rank when the whitelist goes live Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
staan 24 Posted June 16, 2018 i dont think thats a good thing to model it off since it seems the arma 3 server gets about 1 person on it per day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Searnoix 2 Posted June 16, 2018 roleplay is out of this server, you want this VDM/RDM fuckfest to properly roleplay?, maybe if you ban half of the server then you will get a roleplay server nobody is willing to roleplay. even if ranks are implemented, i'm 100% sure that after someone will get their rank high enough to buy a stryker, they will abuse it and sit in it all day.

Searnoix 2 Posted June 16, 2018 it sounded great when it was first announced, but that was when blufor wasn't completly fucked. current state of blufor is bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As it stands that's what TLX feels like, a sandbox with a few rules and factions. Law isn't enforced properly, Borders aren't manned, criminal civilians are KOS'd. If you don't force people to do their jobs properly then you have a broken faction, and that's what BLUFOR currently is.

People seem to think this is Domination with Civs. It isn't. It's supposed to be at least basic roleplay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
