Talk:Rank

Where are these rank names from, anyway? The Prima guide? I don't have a manual so I can't check there. I assume "harbringer" is a typo... but if these are just from the guide the column should be removed. --Fyren 10:32, 17 October 2005 (EST)

latest ranks from gw-freaks.com
 * r9 : 4665
 * r10: 7750
 * r11: 11900
 * r12: 20000
 * r13: 34500
 * r14: 65000
 * r15: 100000

i have NO CLUE which numbers may be correct... but at least till r10, maybe 11 we should find some ppl who can tell us^^

about the names... i only found em here, i vote 4 remove. --HJT 12:42, 17 October 2005 (EST)


 * The names where part of the hero display back in beta. No idea when they got removed, but obviously that part is obsolete. --Xeeron 20:20, 17 October 2005 (EST)

faction doesn't count from the conmpetition arenas? only HoH?

Rank is based on FAME, not faction, gaining tons of faction will not increase your rank by 1 inch, only winning in Tombs will. --Karlos 06:28, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
 * We might point this out in the article, as this is a common misconception. --Tetris L 06:41, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Rank 12 Phoenix Emote
Is the Phoenix-emote real or the same joke as with the dragon? Does anybody has got a screenshit of the rank 12 emote?
 * I tend to believe it. Some top PvP players have confirmed it. See the forum threads that I listed under User talk:FireFox. No screenshot yet, though. -- 14:26, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Deer?
That doesn't look like a deer to me. It's an elk if I ever saw one, and I have. | Chuiu 15:20, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, officially its a deer, but ppl tend to call it 'moose', 'bambi' or other nice names^^ - only bambi-teams formin in here? - i have finally my moose :-D --HJT 13:28, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

need a note for attribute rank
I couldn't figure out how to write the disambiguation note, but because Rank can also be referring to the attribute level, we need a note at the top of the page redirecting to Attribute. -PanSola 12:50, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's necessary to place a Disambiguation page as they are named differently but a note at the top of the page might be helpful. In any case check your Talk page, I put the link for Disambiguation there.--William Blackstaff 17:47, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Umm, the term Rank is ambiguous. I have 12 ranks in Swordmanship, that won't give me a deer emote.   But if Rank had otherwise meant nothing for PvP, then it would at least have been a redirect page that sends ppl to Attribute, like how health regeneration doesn't have its own article, and all references of it links to the Health article instead.  But because Rank also has a "primary meaning", whatever we would've done with the Rank for attributes, we would need to put a link to it from the top of this article. -PanSola 18:58, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Rank Discrimination
Getting a rank emote helps a lot in finding capable groups in the Tombs, since many players engage in "rank discrimination".

This implies players who engage in rank discrimination tends to be in capable groups. Is that the case? -PanSola 21:57, 8 December 2005 (UTC)


 * In general, any groupformed with people that don't even know each other (which is where someone might care about rank) is probably not going to do very well. I personally have little faith in ranks, but at least it proves someone's spent time playing.  I think the most neutral way to put it is that it helps in finding high rank random groups.  --Fyren 08:56, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Higher Ranks
Do we have any confirmation of any of the ranks greater than 12? These were all added at once, and last time I checked the highest rank given in game was 12 (although we still don't have screenshots of rank 12). --Nkuvu 10:44, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Bleh. I removed this article from my watchlist a few weeks ago since people stopped screwing with it.  Guess I shouldn't have.  About the fame numbers, I don't know.  I don't really care if they're deleted or not.  About the rank 12 emote, right.  No one's shown a screenshot.  --Fyren 23:07, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Protect Page?
Any thoughts on protecting this page until some screenshots of the new (possibly Phoenix) emote is found? It could be done like the Unique Items List with the link to an admin's talk page (I have no problem with it being mine). --Rainith 13:27, 30 December 2005 (UTC)


 * I was just about to suggest this. It seems like it's a nice target for overeager editors and vandals. --Nkuvu 14:42, 30 December 2005 (UTC)


 * I think if someone just sits at the Tomb of Preverbial (sp?) Kings and asks around what the 4th emote of rank I'm sure someone would eveuntally resond and be more than happy to supply a screen shot. --DragonWR12LB 14:48, 30 December 2005 (UTC)


 * If that was true there would be a screenshot of it on ever forum. Even though I did re-watchlist this, I don't think it gets vandalized enough to warrant protection.  --Fyren 17:40, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Went back to Rainith's version. The anonymous comment about the alpha testers isn't good info. "They know it's a but they can't tell us, but they actually did" isn't very illuminating. If one of them did say something, they didn't do it in public. But you can personally feel good about knowing what the emote is. If you want to post it here, try to make it verifiable. --Fyren 17:56, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
