For sure I’d love ranked but people have said in the past the player base isn’t large enough for it? I’m not exactly sure why that matters but I’m sure they are more aware of that than I am.
I just think upping CR cap would be an easy and worthwhile addition, no one would lose anything from it and they only stand to gain more sticking power with the people like me who are happy to feel in the upper echelon of players.
I don’t know why it hasn’t been mentioned but there’s a new quick match queue that offers capture and Meltdown and a lot of people are in that now, so different modes shake things up. They said they’re upping CR soon, but no official word on when. We’ll see. Drafting is on its way. Nothing specific about ranked
The thing is, the majority of people who own the game aren’t cr rank 100, and that’s what they’re looking at, the raw statistics pulled straight from the trophy numbers.
What they don’t realize, is that while the cr 100’s are the minority, it’s usually just rank 100’s that are actually still playing.
It may not be a priority now, but cr 100s need to be given either a cap raise, or a prestige system.
I’m OK with being CR100/CR15. It gives me the incentive to focus on getting fun out of the game as it is, not on “progress for progress”.
But I’d be glad if the exp I don’t get was converted to credits or exp for other heroes.
please add CR prestiges because:
On the PC u can keep track of the time playing the game so u know if someone is lvl 100 and a noob at 100 hours or pro at 1000 hours but some people just afk so it would be really nice to know how much people actually play.
Yeah but its also not a change that will bring people back. However, if it is worth while by making it give new mutations. Then you create a situation of unbalance if the perks are to good.
Also Yay grinding is something nobody said ever.
You ≠ everybody
Some find it cathartic
I don’t think anyone said anything about new mutations adding new perks would almost for sure create issues, especially if locked behind a prestige.
And sure it won’t be THE way to bring people back to the game, but it would bring ME back to the game and it looks like some other people feel the same way on this thread.
And people love grinding look at FF or CoD or Battlefield or WoW or Monster Hunter or Pokemon or Hearthstone or League or Dota, to name a few they’ve got plenty of grinding and are incredibly successful and rewarding.
That is a super great change I agree, I think I posted this the day of or before Incursion was totally removed from the quick match and that does have me very excited.
Couldn’t agree more man.
I think you and Derch are both totally entitled to your feelings on that, however not everybody feels the same way and as mentioned before it would be an easy addition and do nothing but benefit players like me who would enjoy it, and since you two think its fun for funs sake it doesn’t take anything away from you either.
It’s hard to say whether or not it’d be an easy addition. If it wasn’t coded into the game before, or if no one worked on it at all, it may prove to be expensive, and difficult.

Well, it does take away something. I’m a completionist and it will it itch me every time to see I’m not at max lvl. What is more, it will itch me so much when I recall how much exp from challenges was wasted after I hit CR100. It’s OK now because that extra exp has no use thus it’s not wasted, but if it had - oh my.
Wut m8? Make up your mind, if you’re having fun with the game as it is you’ll tick up over time just like you did when going from 1 to 100, and raising the cap is for that itch in the first place, player retention.
Exactly the point, if a cap raise could be implemented that exp wouldn’t keep being wasted right?
Not wasted just pointless? Kinda same difference no?
BTW I totally get your points I just think changes would benefit more people in more ways than just leaving it be and having the game continue down the same path it is now.
Yeah man I get that, but I hope it’s not the case, it seems like just adding new XP goals and rank numbers next to your name would be relatively easy given those things already exist in the game, but I have no clue how to do any sort of coding so you could be right.
Maybe those 10 $ skins they’re selling could help go towards it.
Oh, my god, I know right? I never mention it, because I thought it was just me, but if I can’t get the exp I wasted with challenges after I hit 100, I don’t want the extra levels.
I’m pretty sure most of that goes to 2k, I’m not sure though.
I think his point is that he just wants to get to max level. Past that, he focuses on fun. If it was changed, he’d be annoyed because he SHOULD be there because of challenges but wouldn’t be if exp didn’t count. Basically now that he’s out the time in and spent all the good exp that shouldn’t go to waste as that would annoy him, but leveling up normally wouldnt. I explained that terribly, but do you understand?
Thats fine then don’t do a prestige system, do a rank system. Shoot I don’t care if i am ranked 10th out of 10 players, but if I knew where I stood I could come up with goals. The best thing is these goals are something that has to be worked on everyday in a ranking system whether you are rank 1 or last, the only way to change your rank is to play more. I asked for a rank system before and it got no traction, but seriously it would help retain players, and prevent those that care about “wasted” experience from complaining because it wouldn’t introduce any more levels just your PVP ranks and your PVE ranks. Shoot they track so many stats at the end of the match, so just have a leaderboard for each entry. A rank system doesn’t even have to be implemented in-game right away, Gearbox could do a post right here once a week where it listed the rankings for each system.
Who cares if I’m Level 100…or Level 200…or Level 300???
UNLESS
You get some sort of rewards for it…special gear etc.
Pretiges??..oh just wow…I get a gold star next to my character…Yep, makes me just jump for joy.
This game has LOOT.
So reward folks with LOOT.
Give extra credits for players once the hit 100. Use an XP conversion formula to proportion it.
Right now I get SQUAT for playing beyond Level 100 besides normal credits and self satisfaction.
This would be SOOOOOO easy to change, very little coding would be needed…easy and done.
The ONLY reason I can think of why they would not want to do this is that it would cut into their marketplace micro transaction profits.
You get a command faction pack every 5 levels
Yep…that would be a loot reward. Make it a Legendary included and I’m in
