JumpyWizard 91 Posted February 10, 2018 Good day everyone I started playing on the server 2 weeks ago or so, and I feel like an implementation of ranks for the 3 factions would be a good idea, especially for BluFor and OpFor.How can it work? Like a levelling progress, you need X amount of points for the next rank etc. Points can be earned by doing things your faction already does. If you're BluFor and OpFor it could be killing independents, terrorists, arresting civilians and such. Independents will just get points for killing the other sides, as the things they do are a bit more limitedWhy have such a system? Especially for BluFor and OpFor it will enforce better roleplay, especially if the higher ranking OpFor and BluFor will be able to ''control'' the lower ranked players. Now I'm not indicating full control over them and be able to boss them around, but more to mentor and guide the newer players into how you should properly play each faction. I personally also feel like there is a 'lack' of grinding to do, not saying I want it to take 100 hours to achieve max rank, but it shouldn't be something that can be done in 2 hours either. Plenty of rewards! Paychecks can also be, just like with licenses, based on how high your rank is. Perhaps also a special shop in all three factions giving them access to other vehicles, weapons or maybe just a little discount on things. To end it all I am in no shape or form a dev or ever tried to be one. I have no idea how much work this will require. I simply proposed it. I got the idea from RISE where I used to play a lot, and the system really seemed to work there, of course, there can and will be a few issues but there are almost always issues with any ideas. I hope you will take my idea, or a version of it, into consideration at any time. Let me know if anyone has any questions and I will be sure to answer them as quick as possible JumpyWizard 7 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elliot Wood 1 Posted February 10, 2018 +1 on this, worked very well on RISE. Currently new faction members often don't know what they can and can't do and have access to powerful weapons very quickly. This feature would make it much easier to prevent faction abuse by new members. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zerix 8 Posted February 10, 2018 To be honest, this seems pretty cool, I will try implement it on My test server, Gives developers over here some time to focus on other things. If the coding works, i'll submit it to either here or github Considering standard paycheck is 100k Recruits: 100k Privates: 125k Corporals: 150k Sergeants: 200k Blufor / Opfor Commander: 250k. Paychecks will be based upon the licenses system. Recruits will have no license which allows them the standard 100k. But each license gives more but previous licenses will be removed to stop too much income. So if you're promoted from private to corporal, you'd have your private license removed. Promotions will be based on how well the player roleplays and does his/her job as a blufor "Soldier / Cop" or as an Opfor soldier. You're probably wondering why a change in paychecks? Well, it will "Make" the player want to roleplay and if they continue the good roleplay, it will reward them Although, you did say 3 factions. I don't see this working for independents as they can get 1mil easily from a kill spree But higher rank = better weapons? I guess? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chechen Soldier 15 Posted February 10, 2018 +1 I love the idea, there should also be ranks for what vehicles you can buy. Lets say there are 10 ranks. Rank 1-2 get to buy basic vehicles (brdm2, uh-1h, uaz) and the higher levels you go you can start getting more vehicles some that are better (T90, su-25, mi24) and so on. I feel that there is good use here for ranks. So that new players dont just afk at base and get enough money to buy a t-34 cross the border and start ww3.

Besides encouraging people to actually play the game properly, it also, to a certain extent, makes sure they have a bit of experience (Granted they a new to the game) before they jump in an armed helicopter with rockets or even pull out a LAV.

Kane 99 Posted February 21, 2018 +1 Would give more RP chances between opfor and blufor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drew 27 Posted February 21, 2018 With noticeable population of server, I want to recommend a chain of command for Opfor and Blufor, Doing so would improve both factions organisation and coordination, regarding rules, creating a chain of command would help eliminate the rule of needing a police chief for CBO, having a highest ranking officers agreeing to CBO seems easier than needing to elect a chief of police.

ComradeCorbyn{Socialist} 57 Posted February 23, 2018 I would say +1. But I feel Admins and Mods would get higher priority for high ranks,regardless of skill. This has happened a lot before on other servers,so maybe just a Commander based of skill. The Commander would be like a mod,but only for their respective faction. So,if a Blu4 teamkills,the Comm can kick/punish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Han Solo 42 Posted February 23, 2018 I think I may have already +1'd this but here's another one. I think that this would encourage more people to play as the 3 main factions as they can get a sense of achievement Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Han Solo 42 Posted February 23, 2018 Also, you should have to be a certain rank to buy out of certain weapon boxes at BLUFOR and OPFOR base. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with you, and that staff shouldn't just have power over a faction because they are staff. They should still be selected under the same requirements as regular player Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
