Rank Icons
Recently scrolling through some old PR images I came to think, why did you remove the rank icons that used to show up next to the name tag and on the squadscreen? IMO they were pretty neat.

It would really help squad leaders identify what they're dealing with in terms of experience, I'd vouch for its return just for that.Brainlaag wrote:Recently scrolling through some old PR images I came to think, why did you remove the rank icons that used to show up next to the name tag and on the squadscreen?

Re: Rank Icons
Yeh those. Just been wondering if it would be able to add them only to the SL and maybe according to the kit, also to the grunts. With some tweaking and changing ofc, no need to display the vBF2 rank.[R-DEV]Rudd wrote:You mean the ranks that correspond to your vbf2 rank?

Re: Rank Icons
The profiles are going to get reset soon, so maybe then it might work. Then again, it could discriminate against newcomers TBH, I always like them coming around, we were all them once.Brainlaag wrote:Yeh those.

Re: Rank Icons
One of the reasons is that the names currently don't always show up, and you mostly identify people by using the map and clicking on their player icon.

Re: Rank Icons
your name is your rank.
for the most part people recognize each other in PR since it's a small community.
Your name carries a reputation. good or bad.

Are there actually any 3D icons left in PR?

Re: Rank Icons
I can see 3d icons when I bring my map up sometimes (SL numbers are super apparent), and I can see nametags like the old times when I command and mess around with my map bringing it up and down. They seem to still be there, I believe they are used to show map positions possibly?

I would definitely like class icons next to names. Even new status so you know which players need guidance.
