Rank

''This article is about the rank for individual characters. For rank of an attribute, see Attribute. For rank of a guild, see Guild rating.''



Rank is gained through fame and describes the success in the Heroes' Ascent tournament. It is shared between all characters on the same account. When a certain amount of fame points is attained a new rank is attained. The amount of fame points needed for each rank is listed in the following table. When rank 3 and above is reached a new emote is unlocked every 3 ranks which reflects the current rank. This makes it possible to show other players the rank.

The emotes are shown using the commands /fame and /rank.

Note: Rank can not be gained through faction.

Rank discrimination
Some teams, while forming a group at the Heroes' Ascent, do not accept new members below a certain rank. This is mainly due the perception of some players that all players without a rank emote must be either newbies or otherwise not good enough to compete in the tournament. It follows that earning a rank emote will help you find a pick-up group at the Heroes' Ascent.

Rank spoofing
Some people, in an effort to appear more competent than they are, buy ranked accounts from other players. They then claim to be skilled players by showing rank emotes in Heroes' Ascent in order to impress other players or to get into pick-up groups.
