Any point to multiple promotions?

[Riger82]

I noticed that I'll need to promote at least one of my miners to unlock the forge and deep dives. As well as to gain the second active slot.
But is there any point in promoting more than once?

It's shiny.

Have to admit. I busted out laughing at your reply.
But that's it? A pretty colored ring and stars?

Except for getting achievements there' not much to it. And well, there are still some idiots who will require at least 2 promotions to join their lobby, but that usually means you will have to carry their asses.

Just bragging rights and a quick way to tell if someone is (hopefully) not a noob.

Promotions allow you unlock assignments to unlock cosmetics up until rank 100. Promotions also unlock pretty borders and achievements.

Season rank gives you cosmetics and resources until rank 100. Past that you get credits, I think.

Well... kinda. You get some cosmetic assignments up to account level 100. And you get levels there only by leveling up, 1 blue level is 3 dwarf levels.
After that? No, but whatever else you would do?

Promotions after the first one for each character don't change anything in the game (no additional perk slots or anything like that). Additional promotions do give you a couple of things, somewhat indirectly:

Some people may assume that if your character hasn't been promoted too many times, you may not be ready for harder content. And some hosts will have promotion requirements in their server name (eg. "silver promotion or kick"). Then again, it seems like a lot of us veterans avoid those servers anyway, so you may not be missing much if you're not welcome in those games.

The other thing is that doing more promotions is the only way to get your player (blue) rank to go up. Again, some people may judge your ability based on that (lower player rank = inexperienced), but the other thing is that there are some assignments to unlock certain cosmetics that only become available when you reach a certain player rank (I think the last one is at player rank 100). So, if you care about the cosmetics, you may want to keep promoting at least until you have unlocked those assignments.

So player rank won't go up any more if you don't promote?

Yes.

Correct. As Enfild said, your player rank goes up 1 level for each 3 dwarf levels, and the dwarf level stops at 25. Promoting a dwarf resets their level to 1, and then you can level them up to 25 again (gaining more player ranks along the way).

Thats said, if you reach player level 100 (which unlocks the final assigment for reaching a certain player level) the only reason to go further is for the gold rank achievement. But if you have also reached that point there is really no reason to promote even further beyond if you dont care for shiny badges.

[Ackranome]

no real reason.
