[b]The PVP Ranked/Unranked system.[/b] Currently, in my opinion, Crucible is fun, but once you finish buying stuff with your marks (if you buy anything at all) there really is no reason to keep on playing. It's fun, but in my opinion, not fun enough to keep you hooked. I find crucible gets boring quickly, and seeing other people get exotics and i get nothing but shitty +2 light blues really ruins the excitement of the reward page. This is where ranked could help. There will be 3 tiers. You can name them whatever you want but I will just use simple placeholders for now. Bronze, Silver and Gold Winning or losing contributes to your score, and so does your K/D (winning and losing contributes for most of it, but a good K/D could make the loss less devestating on your score. Ranked games will be only 1 gamemode (this gamemode could be subject to change). This discourages players who don't like the gamemode or want a change of pace TO play unranked games, so unranked doesn't become obsolete. (Another idea would be to give players a certain amount of ranked games each day, but this would get frustrating because of all the other grinding limits). Gamemode Suggestions: 8v8 deathmatch. 12v12 objective. Both of these gamemodes may require bigger/tweaked maps to accomadate, but I remember Big Team Battle fondly from the Halo franchise, and would love to see bigger scale battles in Destiny. Maybe some 3v3v3v3? Basically, the ranked matches WILL NEVER be the same gamemode as the curent Unranked matches. Tiers: Beside from seperating players by skill level, these tiers will also dole out better rewards the higher tier you are. Winning also gives a better chance at better rewards, while losing will never reward you with and exotic/legendary (although could reward you with rares). Bronze: Rares and Decoherents, with a VERY rare chance at a legendary. Pretty much the rewards now minus the exotics. Silver: Better rewards, with higher chances at Decoherents, Legendaries and Exotics (winning only, losing gives the same rewards as in bronze). But not so high that you will be seeing legendaries every 2-3 matches. They are still pretty rare. Gold: Best rewards, only Decoherents, Legendary and exotics. Also Crucible only jumpships and sparrows can be found here. As well as crucible only marks, bonds and cloaks. Losing gives the same rewards as Bronze. This makes PvP a bit more interesting eh? Also, at the end of each month (season) special rewards are given out at Gold level (silver and Bronze levels get a goodie bag filled with 3 cryptarch engrams, these can be Decoherents or Legendarys. Silver goodie bags have slightly better chances at a legendary). But at gold level is where the coolest rewards are given out. At gold level a engram goodie bag is given out, but with that engram goodie bag is a new jumpship or sparrow or ghost skin. In some months there could a holiday themed reward? Such as a "Frozen Sparrow" that has some ice on it and the trail is a light blue/white? Or at Halloween a scary jumpship thats rusty and has some crude skulls painted on it or something? A "Lucky Ghost" That is green and gold? None of these rewards will be too over the top, but will be cool looking and most importantly: exclusive. CHANGELOG: Amendment: Only 5 ranked matches are allowed a day, but match passes can be bought from the Crucible Quartermaster for glimmer and crucible marks. 6 marks for 1 match and 2500 glimmer. This forces players to play Casual if they run out of matches. MAY BE CHANGED. Amendment: More points are awarded for completing objectives than getting kills. At the end of the match, you also get points based on any achievements you got (Objectively Correct, buckshot bruiser, stuff like that.) . More points=better rewards. Also, if you lose, more points can save the loss from being too harsh on your stats. Someone with bad points will drop down more in the rankings then someone with good points. Open to [i]constructive[/i] criticism and ideas Also excuse the jumbled form of it and any grammar mistakes, I was pretty tired at the time. REWARDS WILL NEED TO BE BALANCED, BUT DIFFERENT TIERS OF REWARDS IS DEFINITELY A MUST. Other Suggestions: http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/76612360 http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/76413551/0/0
