Kunduz Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) This is sadly not one those super awesome ideas, just a minor graphical idea. You know those "membership stars", you get when posted enough messages <<<< Those I realised that you might get confused(or not) over the ranking system. Anyway, it goes: Blank>Black>Bronze>Silver>Gold>Diamond/Platinum. http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/3358/0rookie.png http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/8323/75user.png http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/1801/750experiencedmember.png http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/5246/2000professional.png http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/7495/3910king.png http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/6706/6000legend.png I thought it would be neat if the previous rank also would be displayed in current rank like this: Actual Display Of Rank(This how my idea is intended to show the rank) http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/3358/0rookie.png http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/8323/75user.png http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/305/experiencedmember.png http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/5618/professionall.png http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/7854/kingn.png http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/5216/legendy.png Sample Of Different Ranks(Couldn't find every rank ) http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/9465/achievements.gif So the stars will always be filled up, unfortunately this fugdes up the color system real bad . Anyway, I had some fun doing figuring this out... it didn't turn out to be exactly as I intended(making it less practical, than the current ranking system). This was just as stupid idea I had when I was bored and tired. I thought I would share it anyhow... The sample of different ranks is not the actual idea, it's just brief display of how different ranks would look like. Due to some confusion about my idea, I thought it would be best to clarify the idea. The ranks will stay stationary, just like they way are now...but, they will show your previous rank in them. Look at the pictures in "Actual Display Of Rank", that's how my idea is intended to show the rank. Hope this clears up the confusion Edited April 25, 2009 by Kunduz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugger X Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Are you upset that you're going to get your first bronze star pretty soon and will be back down to one-star status? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFaMuS one Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) Are you upset that you're going to get your first bronze star pretty soon and will be back down to one-star status? LOL! To the original post, I think it's a good idea. However, given the image file's size would increase, and you stretch that over a few thousand members, it could prove to be troublesome on the bandwidth. Especially as more members come to the site and become more active, hence raising their rank. Just my opinion.

The GIF animation is just a sample, and the image file's size will not increase due to the small change of the original Edited April 22, 2009 by Kunduz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisDeston Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Cool idea, I think it's fine the way it is though and at a guess I'd say that "if it aint broke don't fix it" applies here. But cool none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can now say I'm an idiot, lol. I complete misunderstood you. I thought you meant make everyone have a GIF image, which is why I mentioned the file size. WOW! I'm dumb, lol. Today has been such a bad day, lol. Forgive me. Even still, like I said before, I like the idea. Edited April 22, 2009 by NFaMuS one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaleido42 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 quite interesting. my only complaint with it is that you would have to wait a full cycle to see what they are actually at, could be solved by only cycling stars and not words, but then again seeing how many posts they have made would give you an idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, I'd have 4 black stars and one bronze and it'd just be stationary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugger X Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 If it cycled that might get confusing, but since the idea is to have it stationary I think it's pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelton Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 It's a really neat idea. I think most of us were confused by the cycling stars. With the edit to the original post, you've made it alot clearer. Hope it gets implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakisbac Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I don't really like the idea. It serves no additional purpose to what the blank stars have now, besides letting people know your previous rank (which people aren't going to remember by color) and is something people really don't care about. I don't even care about my current rank. Plus, it just looks weird, for lack of a better word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InkedUp Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I like it because when I cycle around to one star, I don't like seeing all those blank ones after it j/k. It is a pretty good idea though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Demon55 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I kinda like it, looks ugly for some though. Here is a list of all ranks/pictures. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=20304 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
