Ok, i have heard alot of people getting pissed off with cr5's, am one too, just recentley in the Emerald NC sanc some CR5 *** was having a war proteset in the center of the sanc, he was broadcasting all of the sanc telling people destroy all their vehicles
here is the plan
cr1-same
cr2-same
cr3-same
cr4-same
cr5-remove global/continental wide chat
cr6-global/continental chat
-place wp for empire
to get cr6 you would need to lead your SQUAD to 1000 base hacks(not including hacks from cr1-cr4) and 5000 tower hacks and the squad would need to have 100000 exp. Thats when the commander/commanders get CR6

BR21-to get this you need to accquire 150000 exp or hack 10000 towers or hack 250 facilities or 30000 kills. Now the reward is very great you get to choose 2 certifications no matter how many cert points it requires, and you get 2 more implant slots

revisions to come.

I do to. It makes it so XP whores can't get everything. Teamwork, caring about your empire, and skill are required to reach BR 21 and CR 6. :thumbsup:

I have a better idea. Have a vote. Give the global/continent all abilitys to those who win the nomination. And everytime Someone gets CR5 the empire gets a little message and votes yes or no or dont know the person. Just a thought

There's a good idea, all the 666th and the other big outfits can all be able to cont/global...

I'm not saying your idea is bad or not but I'd like to see what the devs have planned for commanders before tinkering with extra CRs.

As for the extra BR rank.... ouch that's a lot of PS playtime. I would have thought just one free cert would do (or 3/4 cert points for BR21 as opposed to just 1).

10000 tower caps? That's a lot for as long as I've played I don't even have 1000 yet.

Can't really do that. An outfit I use to be in (Ht) had at one point around 17 CR5's, which was more than any other outfit on nc markov. Votes could easily be dominated by people that simply just have more CR5's in their outfit or more people in their outfit. Besides, voting to allow someone to use abilities just affords too many opportunities for griefing.

The only problem that I really see with this is that two CR5's on opposing empires could just continually hack back and forward a tower to get their needed tower caps. Although base hacks are a different story I guess.

I don't think further br enhancements should include the ability to have more implants. I think 3 keeps it so you have to compromise on something, but you still get what you need.

Im all for it except BR21 isnt a very round number

and CR6s should get a special hat or something.

but the thing about CR6 and BR21 is they are like an extra for a very dedicated commander/infantry most people wouldnt get it, but it is something for cr5's and br20's to aim for, but who wouldnt want 2 more implant slots and the ability to get 2 certifications NOT certification points
and CR6 can get one of those hats that the brirtish guard gets

how about CR6's designated by CSR's and are picked from the CR5's currently in game that way loser CR5's who spam globals/cont wides won't get picked and of course only CR6's would be able to send globals and place a single a empire wp

P.S. There would be only one CR6 on at any time for each empire

The ability to lead shouldn't be judged by the amount of time someone has played the game...

for BR21....i don't see a reason for just one BR to be introduced...but then again there isn't much you can do in the game so after a while you would just be able to get everything. but instead of just letting someone choose two certifications, just give the person 3 certification points, and then the 2 implant slots. giving them 2 certs, no matter the amount of cert points is too much.

I'm sorry, short of voting (which offers to many opportunities for griefing) there is no way to limit people on CR6 unless a whole new system is created. (CR5's able to issue orders and when people actually follow them they get credit towards CR6).

The bigger outfits you speak of are mindless.

I don't like this idea cause it lets a CR 6 be the ultimate grunt.

Voting on getting CR5? Oh yeah sure, lets give everyone else the power to decide wether someone should get CR5 than the person that worked for it.... Hell no, bad idea.

People arn't fair online, a bunch of wankers would vote no and boom, all for nothing. No thanks.

Man I tell you it's a real problem in gameplay (CR5's that is.) I don't know how we can fix it but it really needs to be looked at. The main problem is that by playing long enough, any immature brat can have to power to impair the fun of all the rest. I don't know about you guys, but that is not cool. I think they need stricter rules and harsher penalties for CR5's that use the global and cont chat to do nothing but annoy people.

Having said that, the CR6 and BR 21 ideas are cool. I like how its not entirely XP based. Hacking 1,000 bases (or whatever the number was) would require quite a bit of time. It'll be interesting how the devs decide to handle the problem.

How about making BR21-25, and make you loose an amount of BEP a day when above lvl 20, so you need to fight alot, or else you'll loose levels down to lvl 20 again.

Guys/gals, this has been shot down already. They won't add post CR5/BR20, but they are talking about adding post br20 special abilities. As for CR5s, they were kicking around an idea about having CEP expire. That way, those CR5s that don't keep earning CEP, will lose their abilities. Should cut down on some of the stupidity. Will have to see if it ever goes live.

Well, on markov we were told in command chat they are also thinking of revoking the ability to global if people continue to abuse.

Personally, I think this is one of those issues that should take care of it's self. If the CSR's want to get the attention of CR5's, they should start temporarily banning privlages to all CR5's when things get bad (even those not doing anything). People will start to fall in line from simple in game peer pressure. (Of course there are still those that are just complete tards, but they can be taken care of individualy).

I fail to see how the ideas you propose whould solve the problems you advocate. Additionaly planetside is not designed for the hardcore everquest style uber player. Its designed so i can hop on for a half hour before going tow work and go skill to skill and tactic to tactic with anyone n there (thats not to say i havent loged a lot of hours of game time)

I personaly don't see why thats needed, it just forces th e Cr5's to never let non-cr's to bet CEP becasue they have to worry about losing it. And it would make the stupid ones lead more

I think the idea is that by leading more, you gain experience. And if your really a retarded CR5 that has pissed everyone off, noone is going to squad with you, and your not going to get the CEP necessary to keep your CR5 abilities.

I personally don't like the idea, I think they should just tally up every /appeal against a CR5 for global spam abuse, and then take action when it reaches a certain level.

Another possibility would be to tie the Global ability to the /ignore list. You hit a certain threshold of /ignores ingame, poof, there goes your global ability. That would eventually take care of some of the more ignorant retards. Especially when it gets well know that multiple /ignores would permanently mute a bad CR5.

Wait, so the guy who cant find the ignore command (flypingy) is the same guy who thinks OSing teammates is funny? (See other thread) Get your priorities straight for gods sake.
