Rank, the higher the rank = the more times the person will use the word "NOOB!" per hour

The Thing with Fame is, R3 can be gained on double fame weekends, by replaying the first 2-4 maps over and over again with normally some build that rarly gets any where near halls, So R3 is a bit meh imo. Not to crap on anyones achievements ( i'm not even there yet) but i don't see why it should be taken as such a standard.

I'd much rather a team that was somewhat competant, then one that played the first 3 maps with some build of the moment.

That Said I'm in the process of gaining fame(r2), ( I Do try and previous pvp exp. seems to mean nothing in Ha).
<----
I Shall either spend alot of time in Ha pugging or if if i lose my sanity before i get rank 3 I'll proberly be forced to buy it, Worst part is When R3 i'll see the same kind of Crap but with rank 4 and 5s and 6 etc.

Thizzle, yes, you need rank in HA, that's the "reason" of that place: You get ranks and emotes, for enter better teams, for make more ranks/emotes, plus the fun (if you are not interested in rank/emotes at all, the "reason" is gone, so you shouldn't visit HA at all)

It's completely wrong you cannot enter teams without r3, there are a lot of unranked teams, you make your own.

It doesn't matter if you make your rank in balanced teams or "lamer" teams, after all, you will get the same "rewards".

Rank means you have experience in HA, I would rather have a r10 than a r0 in my party.

However, rank doesn't mean they're good.

Jiao Yang · Sep 21, 2008, 06:04 PM // 18:04

There always seems to be hundreds of unranked players who complain because all the groups require rank.

Why doesn't one of them just make an unranked group?

They shouldn't have any problem, since we've already heard thousands of times that unranked players have just as much skill as a r9.

Hanging Man · Sep 21, 2008, 06:08 PM // 18:08

rank means absolutely shit to me
i tried doin HA, and it is absolutely pointless.
getting fame seems to be more of unnecessary grind

no rank don't mean a thing to me I prefer to play and have fun and help guildies out
plus im more of a pve type of guy

Snow Bunny · Sep 21, 2008, 06:19 PM // 18:19

Jiao's spot on.

If there are so many r0-2's complaining of the inability to get in groups, considering that RANK MEANS NOTHING, why are there not r0 pugs holding halls every night?

Trylo · Sep 21, 2008, 06:24 PM // 18:24

when you see r9+ Hway/Sway... it kinda looses its meaning.

AKB48 · Sep 21, 2008, 09:09 PM // 21:09

rank= what HA is all about now

A r6 person will most likely know what to do in the Antechamber and be familiar with the tactics, whereas an unranked person will probably run around clueless like a headless chicken. wut.

You're r6 (maybe you've grinded 7 or 8 by now) and you still know next to nothing about this game.... so I guess there are exceptions to every rule.

Here's proof I can HA: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gcymHO_NNU

Solas · Sep 21, 2008, 09:15 PM // 21:15

Because most of the r0 pugs are randomly there to get fame.
Also Idiots are Idiots ,was in an Iway group earlier (unranked..so yeah)
other team balled up into a corner at spawn.... our team in its greatness ran into the corner,balled they used AoE....

another time, they went in and somehow wiped on zenishen...so yeah, Hard to find people that actually want tto do Ha and people who just want some famez...

Rank 5+ is pretty good indicator imo.

That doesn't make my statement untrue in the slightest. Higher rank still means a higher probability of being UAX. Yeah, some PvErs will have UAX, but how many of the 'hardcore PvE' players are pugging in HA?

Because HA is noob and elitist, so they stay away from it. If they did play though, they would totally own all the rank noobs!

There aren't really any 'just as good as a ranked player' players. The few that are actually good without rank have achievements in other PvP areas - and they're not pugging anyways, most of the time. Example: Faithful Sno was below r3 when he started majorly playing HA, but [Eat] had already shown solid GvG results and superb TA results, and as a core monk he was able to get to r9 quickly through contacts of those areas.

I've seen these rank threads so many times, and the proper response is always the same. Guru needs to have some kind of pop up, so that when some one makes a rank thread, this post pops up.

Rank is just an indicator of experience, if you are new to the arena, (which low rank means, your new, not bad) then you will be looking to get into new teams, not experienced r9 teams.

But I do have to agree, that rank 3 isnt that much more experienced than a r0, so its pretty ridiculous if they dont take you.

Rank was impressive in the early days, but now..meh
