He's got a point you know.

I don't know. Badges seem pointless if they convey the same as promotion banner around your characters icon. I honestly don't see much value in a badge over that. It would feel as empty.

Badges for season completion is effectively the same as getting the final tier cosmetic item.

We'd also end up looking like generals covered in ribbon racks and accouterments. Or any racers jacket.

For the argument about needing a reward for promotions, yeah that'd be cool. If there are specific items hidden behind specific tiers I could go for that. And even further, if maybe one cosmetic item could be earned during the season and never again that'd give season completion more value, but I know they don't want to get into FOMO territory.

I didn't really care for his whole badge argument what I do agree is that promotions beyond the first are pointless, they definitely need something to warrant further promotions.

I do promotions because if I'm not getting anything because I'm playing at lv25 then I'll lose the will to keep playing. They let me keep enjoying the game. I don't need anything else from them.

Good to have reasons of your own but I imagine a good amount of people look at this as an issue.

Player level past 100 is absolutely meaningless
Promoting a class more than once doesn't have any benefit
If you wanna jerk off to your pretty picture frame, jump some hoops

Pretty sure they've said no to rewards/achievements for upper promotions, especially later ones like legend.

Avoiding it isn't a 'problem'. You don't need every little thing to have a carrot dangling on the stick. Having a gameplay reward means people will feel they have to do it, and having a cosmetic reward will push people who wouldn't care otherwise about promoting to do it too. Both will just burn people out and kill off the fun. Special missions is a plain terrible idea to lock behind promos.

Why do promotions NEED a point? Them being worthless is perfectly in-universe.

If you want to stop playing, just stop. You'd probably had a few hundred hours of fun already.

The meaning of life comes from the journey pursuing it. Maybe the real treasure was the friends we made along the way.

TL;DR add more cosmetics to the game.

Wow, such an amazing and original idea..............................................

[Frisky]

eh I don't think promotions are a problem

promotion banners being simply a cosmetic way of showing your time invested into a class is fine, people shouldn't feel like they have to promote for rewards or a certain cosmetic else it's just a grind that more people would complain about

I'm glad I don't have any part of the game trying to coax me into playing tons of scout who I don't enjoy playing much

I completely agree with this. We already got enough people complaining about the grind there's already in the game, no need to add more, especially when it's that pointless.

As someone with almost all max-ranked Dwarves... no. We don't need anything exclusive to a very small upper class of players. We already have some very rare and limited items (I doubt the anniversary hats are coming back, for example. Plus the Streamer armor and paintjob).

The only thing I want is the ability to CHOOSE my border. I want to unlock them all, and keep promoting, but let me choose what border I want.

I want the platinum border on gunner, blue border on scout, gold on driller and legendary on engie. Yes I "could've just stopped promoting" but I want to get to rank 666 as well - for the joke.

You also can't really argue that letting us choose our borders would "de-value" them, because anyone who reached legendary 3 and wanted to show it off could still just use that border - plus everyone else can still see your blue player level.

[Nosteru]

No, he dont.
