did we really need increase in grind for marshal ranking? ffs i expect that every tryhard will just pick favorite playerbase imbalanced OP faction to grind for victories. at least people played weaker factions when they got their marshal rank, now i expect totally unbalanced matches.

Eheh I didn’t want to say it, but I predicted as such.
Rank system will have one, and only one effect on the playerbase: amplify current trends (which faction to play and desertion).

There is still someone wo care about a rank wo give you a shiny gold order for troops?
i donno, over 4400 batles i can easly state that atleast 3000 were alone.
i donno, its all equal the same for me on all campaigns…
Rank is only useful to give weekly reward of bronze or silver orders and extra stars for the battlepass (BP), other than that it’s as you said, it’s just a badge.
The battlepass have 75 levels with a free gold weapon order at the end. F2P players can only get 3 BP stars per day, and without the rank reward they would need to play 75 out of 90 days if they want to get the free gold order. The only down side I can think of is that by increasing the points required to rank up it will slow the leveling up of the BP especially for F2P players.
The good side is that less people are at top rank, thus spreading out the playerbase.
“Since you asked, we made the calculations. According to the results, 15-20% of players in battles have the rank of Marshal, and this indicates that it is too easy to reach such a prestigious rank.”

As far as I know there are currently no skilled base match making system in the game, spreading the playerbase would make more sense if the are ways to rank players’ skill. Maybe they’re rolling out changes in steps.

i’ve been playing less favourited fractions and yet i am halfway down to marshall already so im not sure if its the case
The rank rewards are pathetic this time around. 1 bronze weapon and soldier orders as rewards for a rank, how pathetic.
Literally not a single good player cares about ranks, it doesn’t matter at all. Rewards are completely uninteresting. Nobody will tryhard to get marshall rank as fast possible for it doesn’t mean a thing.
I guess you have to just cry about some made up nonsense, just because you think everything is against you. I guess you are suffering on skill issues.

I still can’t see what they were expecting to achieve with that change. So what if too many players are marshalls? How many is too many when the thing in question is worthless anyway? It’s another pointless limitation for the sake of limitation.
I don’t think ranks have any point at all, but that’s more of an argument for their removal than anything else. The actual effect on gameplay may be negligible (because thankfully it still isn’t something worth caring about), but whatever effect there is - it’s strictly negative.
They keep doing things like that again and again almost with each update, it’s insane. As if they are intentionally trying to make players suffer. Not even for profit, but just so that people won’t be too comfortable here.

yes totally skill issue when 70-80% of the matches i get top spot in the team and other 20-30% i am in top 3 or top 4 if there are tryhards/stacks in my team. also people play for ranks cause it is OCD issue. when there is achievement, people will want to achieve it. and easiest way to achieve is to join something like normandy axis or ally moscow. easy wins=fast rank promotion.
yes ranks are pointless, but they have effect on the game. they promote desertion when there are many marshals in enemy team. also lot of people (solo players) are going to be playing OP factions for easier grind for ranks.
ranks should be removed or at least hidden.
Yeah, if they want to keep it, ranks should only be visible on the scorecard after the game.
The ranks should be more skillbased and rewarding, the actual rank count only the victory indipendentaly if you are a noob or a pro
