About grinding Player Rank after Lv 100

[Wereriche]

Are there any more armor sets locked in Player Rank?

Or is it just pointless grinding after getting the Dragon Armor?

Blue number go up

It always was pointless grinding.
You think you did it freely, for fun? No, you just watched a blue number go up until the game said "good little boy, your blue number is high enough".
Wake up, sheeple.

Good to know 😎👍

It makes a certain e-body-part bigger.

In short, don't bother too much about it over enjoying the game itself.

Pointless unless going for the achievements (4 classess to gold)

There's no linear progression in assignments beyond scale brigade armor. Less than a percent of players get to this point, so there's not a lot of incentive to do anything about it.

Beyond PR 100, assuming you've bought all upgrades and cosmetics (could take longer than this), your focus will shift to farming over clocks. A lot of them are pretty game changing, and by that player rank, you'll know enough about the game to start to explore multiple class builds that can really take advantage of them. I have a dedicated single player and separate class builds by mission type (elimination, data rack/salvage/escort, mining/extraction/egg hunt/pipes) for all dwarfs after 500+ hours in mission. It boils down to heavy combat, on a tether, and free to roam, at least for me. Other players will have many ideas about this. But they put you over the edge on a lot of missions and it feels good knowing that the build is what made the difference a lot of times.

And I'm still finding over clocks, especially the unstable ones, that send me over to the equipment bench, excited to give them a try. There seems to be no end to this, especially as the devs trickle these new weapons into the system.

Hoping for other over clocks for the rest of our equipment in the future. Especially would like it with Bosco. I could think of some interesting trade offs with that little guy that'd make solo games a bit more refreshing.

Pretty much this. But hey, at least I got the gold rank achievements.

[Wereriche]

Yeah, I think I've collected most of the Overclocks besides the OCs of the new weapons.

Good to know there is zero incentive to grind for Player Level other than growing E-Peen. I'm just enjoying the game while farming for scrips at this point. 🤣👏👏👏

Considering there are people at rank 800 after spending a mind blowing half an hour in the game the player rank is meaningless.

The meaning always was more personal than anything. If you know you earned that rank due to spending countless hours of having fun with the game, it's all that matters. It doesn't really matter what other people think of it.

Gotta pump those numbers so you can flex on greenbeards.

You call it a grind like someone holds a gun up your head and forces you to play. I find doing promotions just as something to do in game. Something to spend money on. And it's just something that almost happens on it's own as I'm having fun in the caves. I'm not grinding like you. I play games for fun, you to achieve something in life. We are not the same.

You know instantly who these people are though because if i notice someone with a really high player level ill have a peek at their hours spent ingame, and gods honest truth about 5% of the players with high player levels have it so you can see how much time they have spent because like you said there you would be proud of it, the other 95% either hide their profile completely or hide their time spent in games because it would give the game away that they are cheating numptys, only 1 reason to hide this, because you have something to hide.

yeah greenbeards will tell that you are Karl or if you have seen him already

[Ragnarr Loðbrók]

You don't play for grinding pseudo-progression ranks,prestige or else , you play for gameplay. So the Rank comes automaticly with it.
