Ranks, Badges and Medals

(1/7) > >>

Kornel Kisielewicz:
In the new player data I will present the following types of things to get:

Ranks -- apart from the two major ranks (skill and experience) there might be possible other ranks ( like Mancubi Hunter (rank 4) for 400 Mancubi kills or Survivor (rank 7) for 7 won games in a row, or Quake Marine (rank 3) for some special achievements ;> ). These encompass general player progress.

Badges -- these encompass general player progress, and are binary (either you have a badge or not), basically they're named 1 level ranks, sometimes achieved just because you gain a rank, and serve for flavour value.

Medals -- you can recieve those 1 per game, and they sum up in your player stats. The best example is Ass Kicking Marine Medal, achieved when getting 100% in a game, or Arena Champion for each won Hell Arena.

Suggestions? Ideas? I'm especially looking for cool names, and cool ideas for those :).

Kornel Kisielewicz:
Come to think of it, I wonder if there's any reason to have separate Badges and Medals?

I think that badges rather display your skill and experience.
Medals are for achievements (for example killing 3 imps with one bullet [;   )

Gargulec:
Medal idea: OMFG?!- awarded for finishing game, scoring 100% kills and beating all special levels. On UV.

Tavana:
Not certain if this has already been suggested, but if you wanted to include badges/medals that enhance the player stats during game play, I think that would be an interesting incentive for acquiring them.

They could either persist between games for something absurd like killing 1000 monsters reanimated by archviles in a non Ao100 game, or not be persistent and just be for something like completing Hells Arena. Bonuses could be tiny, like +0.3 to speed. Just a thought.
