Poll:Ability to see hosts rank before joining a room? | Forums

[FirstPersonGRAW]

The majority of people are frustrated with being booted do to their rank or having to leave room after room because they can't find a similar ranked room! If a simple alteration made possible by a patch, showing the hosts personal rank to each person about to join a ranked room, things would be SOOOO much better!

Absolutely. Although you are an Over the Shoulder dodger, I'm going to let that ride for now as this is a great suggestion.

One of the biggest obstacles (that you can't see round - ha ha) to playing ranked is getting into a room you can actually stay in. Usually some rank ***** host doesn't want to risk his truskill standing by testing himself and his cronies in an open and fair contest against all comers. At least seeing the host's rank means you won't waste your and their time by jumping in and getting kicked.

Either that, or don't show ranks at all except on the leaderboards.

I would also be in favor of that, just look at Rainbow Six:Vegas and FEAR, they have leaderboards, but don't have a visable rank that ties to your leaderboard standings. In those games people don't get booted due to rank!

I would like to edit my opinion on this...

If they were to remove the rank # 1-25 from the lobby they should also remove it altogether, otherwise it would lead to other problems, like people asking what your rank is and whatnot.

It would probably still happen w/o the ranked #, because some people would be like..."If you're in the top 500 in Team Territory send me a friend request..."Next time I get on, I'll check the leaderboards and if your not lying, I'll let you play in my rooms from then on...LOL

i say remove the rank, and the restrictions that cause the problem.
namely the point system and how higher ranked players can lose points just because they lost to a lower ranked player.

thats just stupid.

i don't mind a military like ranking design to the game though, just ditch the numbers and the whole point system that shifts ranks around and do a normal leaderboard.
