February 8, 200719 yr Purpose For those who don't know, I was promoted to Lieutenant General (3 stars) on Monday. I logged in last night and we had a good showing of Armory members on. I received alot of questions about the rank and I was a little amazed at how much people didn't know about the General Ranks. This thread will answer your questions for those who don't know. General Ranks The saying goes. Be My Little General. Brigadier, Major, Lieutenant and then Supreme Commander. At Brigadier General you will have all of your unlocks and there will be no more easy promotions. To be promoted beyond that is all about Career Points. Every week starting Monday morning the Career Points earned for the week determine who will be promoted. There are 75 Major Generals, 24 Lieutenant Generals and 1 Supreme Commander slots. It is NOT about knife kills (Phrogg would have been Supreme Commander by now.), commander time, accuracy, K/D. Its about Career Points. Which is part of the shame. The current Supreme Commander has NO commander time has only played one class of toon and has mostly no badges. He just played alot. It is possible to loose your General Ranks quite easily. You could play alot one week, go on a trip and play for only one day and then find yourself back to Brigadier General. So it takes constant play to keep the rank up. More time than many people can put in. I average 6 hours a day. 9 PM to 2 AM. And even more on weekends. The only benefit you gain from being a high ranking player is you win Commander elections. Thats it. Most of the time people don't want to be commander so winning them isn't hard in the first place. I wish there was more, maybe a wider UAV detection radius or some advantage, but there isn't. Earning Career Points The best way to get Career Points is through badges. Silver Badges are worth 500 points. Gold Badges are worth 1000 points. Thats career points. If you think about it, I myself average 75-100 Career points per Conquest Map and 75-150 Career Points per Titan map (cause they last longer). So earning a gold badge is the equivalent of playing 10-12 games. It is a time saver. But once you've earned most of your gold badges (which I have), then playing is all you can do. Teamwork points go towards your career points. My stats don't lie, I play Assault with defib alot. Every time I defib a player I get teamwork points/career points. Add my kills and your looking at alot of career points per map. So the Support and Assault classes will earn you more career points than the Sniper or Engineer classes who usually have lower teamwork scores. I hope that answers all your questions. Good luck.
February 8, 200719 yr sounds like some people have no life lol hahaha:D who cares any way its all about the dog tag servers lol
February 8, 200719 yr I wish getting the gold for being top player that round got ya something. Otherwise, it is very pointless. Kind of like EA. Wait EA made this game. I guess that explains it. Oh, that also explains why it is pointless to get the higher ranks after Brigadier General.

How about the fact that none of the medals give you anything whatsoever... or at least not from what I can see... Seems a waste of rewards if they don't give you anything other than a shiny virtual dress uniform chest...

Seems a waste of rewards if they don't give you anything other than a shiny virtual dress uniform chest... It is kinda sad....then again, they are meant to be something that is VERY hard to obtain (some of them would take FOREVER). What would be cooler than points is if your medals were displayed on your person in game....that'd be sweet. In Planetside, your command rank would be displayed on your person. That way, you could spot the CR5s easily....seeing them was like seeing a GOD. So cool.
February 8, 200719 yr Or if you kill someone with that medal, you earn it if you don't already have it. That would be kinds neat.. Get the tags and the medals!!
