Demon Slayer Ranking System in RPG3

[wheat furnace]

Instead of holding tournaments for ranks, all ranks other than hashira should be obtanible through normal gameplay. Since there are ten ranks other than hashira, maybe divide the max level by ten and every that many levels, have a super hard boss to fight to rank up??

it has already been established that ranks will be obtained via events, though it has not been listed the details behind those

it is expected it'll function as RPG2 did

which, so long as the playerbase isn't a bunch of low skill players, will make it so ranks actually mean something as far as skill

[wheat furnace]

thats fair enough

[honest storm]

My only problem is with having ranks gained through events is that if these events are only really hosted through the discord and the ranks provide actual advantages then it pretty much guts quite a bit of players from ever gaining that part of the game a majority of roblox players dont have the time to attend or may not even have discord (in some countries) its one of the things i never liked about CC games

for example its a huge turn off of the game when you see that hashira rank/spec can only be obtained by attending a discord pvp tourney and the spots are limited to one person each breath out of thousands

its pretty much the same as saying "oh you arent chronically online? you arent getting hashira gg"

[eager bear]

Aside from hashira, I doubt any ranks will provide any advantages, as is the case with rpg2

Hashira/UM*

[honest storm]

I dont really remeber how they did it in dsrpg2 its been years since i played it

[eager bear]

Tournament based and you can challenge the spots

[honest storm]

but i dont have a problem with the ranks as long as im not inherently at a stat disadvantage to the person with it

[eager bear]

The only ones with advantages in rpg2 were hashira/um, as was said, which accounted for like 10 people

Or some amount like that

They were meant to only be for the best pvpers, hence the exclusivity

[honest storm]

yeah but thats exactly the problem 10 people out of probably given this game a couple HUNDRED thousand is just insane and

[eager bear]

Hence why it won't be a problem that those are the only ones receiving benefits, and they'd have earned them

Would you rather ranks be pve obtainable and hashira/ums being everywhere with those advantages?

Or have those few who actually earned them via consistency and a system

I'd argue most would opt for the latter

[honest storm]

as i said my issue is in the disadvantage you are at if someone has hashira spec you could be better than them but not by enough to win you the match given they have a LITERAL BETTER SPEC

[eager bear]

In the matches to earn them, the fighters are often set on equap footing

[honest storm]

its like someone is already good enough at pvp to not really lose to anyone why make them more op lmao

[eager bear]

Meaning either both are given the spec or the one with it has it removed

[eager bear]

It's considered a gift for them proving their skill

[honest storm]

Idk i never liked discord exclusivity on roblox

[eager bear]

It made little impact on rpg2

I see no reason it'd be an issue for Hinokami

[honest storm]

what all do they gain from the rank

[eager bear]

Ranks had no purpose outside of hashira/UM and usually you wouldn't encounter those people

[honest storm]

most game devs often gate entire moves behind it

[eager bear]

They gained a handful of levels and flashstep, which functioned the same as rolling did

It just had a different animation

Same distance, maybe a slight change in the speed of travel, could still be read/interrupted the same

And the level gap didn't really sway a fight unless it was an absurdly close match

Plus in ranked/gamemode, everybody is set to the same level

So if you put yourself in a location where you are strictly pvping, their advantages were reduced further

[honest storm]

I guess my final take on it is that If they arent massively powered up and entire moves i.e flame hashira being the only one able to use 9th form arent gated behind it it isnt an issue

it has always rubbed me the wrong way regardless

[eager bear]

The only gated stuff was moon behind UM1 and testing of water 5th

Which water 5th later got released to public

[honest storm]

and they have stated they wouldnt be adding moon or sun to this game right?

i remember seeing that somewhere

[eager bear]

Not publicly obtainable, and not severely op

They'd be specific community events, not guaranteed to be pvp

Such as how the anime rng idea happened (horrible decision btw)

[honest storm]

yea as long as they arent gating tons of power/content behind it like some other games its fine

[eager bear]

We've always done our best to avoid those mistakes

The only instance of those specs would be vid, who made his own breathing as he is a dev, Nate, who does whatever he wants as he functions as much as the boss here as Higo does, Hybrid, who has the Muzan spec due to being head of demons, and whoever the active head of slayers is, which right now is Yama though idk if he has his spec

Higoshi only has sun and is so ass it makes no difference for him on rpg2

Hybrid and Nate can one shot people, though Nate does so with commands

Vid heals when charging his breathing

[honest storm]

I think dev specs are healthy as running into a dev is rare and its just cool to run into them as long as they are not abusing it

[eager bear]

Kagaya gets ultra instinct or some shit

[honest storm]

and it lets them show off some stuff they can do and tease stuff they add
