Cr5

[�io]

Yes but see the thing is the lonewolf won't get it agreed but there are VERY VERY few guys who are always lonewolf. Everybody forms a squad every once in a while so eventually in say 10months after release there will still be many many many CR5s no matter what. They could totally suck as a leader but with enough time still get enough CEPs to spam and cause havoc.

Which is why i think removing it would be best, or at the very least making it insanely hard to get.

The biggest problem with CR5s is that they are self centered. They should not be saying things like "we're going to take base X on continent Y. They should say things like "If you are currently in the sanctuary please bring your squad to continent X". Or "If your squad is looking for action we need more people on continent Y". This keeps half the damn empire from going to one continent.

Really i think CR5 should only be able to do global chat to other CR5s and continent chat to outfit and squad leaders only.

cr5 world wide chat is good. the only problem is zprotoss sucks a monkeys balls.

instead of saying, "We need help at Oshur to get the continent lock down."

he should be saying "outfit and/or squad leaders send me tells so I can get reinfocements to you from the sanc if you need it."

in my view, the cr5 would be more of a general type. not a come help me get more base caps type. he should be able to get people where people are needed.

And you think he is the only one?

This is what i'm trying to say, right now maybe it's only Zprotoss or whoever it is being a jerk/idiot, but in a few months there won't just be a few CR5s there will be many, even if you suck and are an idiot you can still cap at least 1 base by day or 2 so eventually there WILL be many losers/idiots/jerks who are CR5.

Eventually. But to keep lone wolves from getting it, how about a severe CEP divider based on # of people in squad. Since it's experience in commanding, would make sense, no?

If and when Global chat becomes a problem Im sure SOE will handle it. How did the drop turn out last night? Did it even happen?

[Happy lil Elf]

Unless given a really good reason not to, IV shoots ZProtoss on sight. I got a beautiful sniper shot on him last night. He didn't even move after the first shot hit Forgot to get a screenshot though

I haven't yet been able to play the game, but with all this talk about Command Ranks, it has gotten me to thinking. I don't want to be spammed by somebody who only got to high CR because they play all the time but have no talent. I'd hate to have to ignore people, I managed to get through 3 years of Everquest without ignoring anybody. I'd like to see something along the lines of CEP "expiring", that is to say, I want to see people get demoted if they stop earning CEP. That would at the least encourage people to continue trying to earn them, and would hopefully allow players to effectively vote out bad commanders. I don't know about you, but in Everquest there were quite a few people that I would never follow on a raid because they had no talent for it. So there are my two cents, enjoy or not as suits your tastes.

What empire is ZProtoss (Can you tell that I don't play on that server much?)?? If he's half the asshat that it sounds like he is, I'm confident that the members of {BOHICA} will also be shooting him on sight.

Ok, first off CR5 should take a while to get to. Before lattice it was easy to get CEP, but post lattice it is much harder (as i understand). I believe that global chat is a mistake as coordinating world wide tactics for one person is ridiculous. However a dedicated CR5 chat channel with CR5 having the power of continent wide chat works amazingly well. CR5's should be rare enough that one per continent would work well enough.

Secondly while CR5 might get a few "lamers", there are some amazing leaders out there. Again I refer to Jerrith. He manages resources, merely suggests next targets, and is very polite. When Jerrith takes up the leaders position (global spam and all) the continent lock isnt far behind.

It will never work. You might get a couple outfits from different factions working together, but on a global scale it won't work. Most people don't read the websites and won't have a clue whats going on.

I have since turned off CR5 broadcasts. I can understand communication all continent, but the whole world is just dumb.

couple of outfits is all u need, I dotn understand why u need to make it global.
ya CR5 BC should only work at the continent ur at.
A couple of outfits formed together against an empire should work if the outfit leaders tell everyone in their outfit that the
y should NOT shoot the enemy they are workin together with, that shouldent be to hard when ur IN an outfit.
I think the devs should open a chat where only CR5 commanders in the same empire should b able 2 chat, then the best commanders of the whole auraxis world could get together and form alliances with another empire and team up. Then they could plan assaults and come up with tactics, I think that would be great and would work.
Hope some outfits could do that anyway.

Yes, i applaud Jerrith for being a 1337 CR5
