Request: Donators keep XP when re-ranking

[Kanube]

@GodsDead ok, so I read the last post you had and I have an idea to improve things -related to the rank up process, but not exactly along the thread of what you were posting, hence the new thread.  🙂

Anyway, if, you could please get with whoever or whatever codes the ranking system, and have it record and store your max xp attained at any one point, that would be greatly appreciated so that, if someone is a donator, they don’t restart at sailor if they lapse in or choose to take a month off from donating or something.  The system keeps track of all the requirements per rank and if you’ve achieved them or not, except that.  To be clear, not a running total that just gets bigger and bigger, but a single ‘this is the max you’ve reached’ number. Because, to get to the level of xp of some of the higher ranks, sometimes takes a week at the xp grinder or more – time away from regular pirate craft fun.

Anyway, just a humble request that benefits everyone and doesn’t give anyone any unfair advantage.

Thanky kindly, sir!  <bows with a doff of the cap>

This is actually a bug that Donators can re-rank time and time again, nobody else can do it, Because our permissions system dousnt allow more than one rank, and I can’t save a rank just before donation, Its bodged at resetting back to sailor each time, I then turned in “infinite ranking” to allow donators to re-rank.

Now since this is allowed, this means every donation end a donator can re-rank and get all the rank gifts again that were suppose to be 1 off prizes for reaching that rank.

Since donators would have most likely already have all the needed statistics to re-rank, Blocks broken, blocks placed, kills, time played etc, they litearlly do not need to do anything to re-rank and get every prize… apart from XP this takes the tiniest bit of effort, the fact we even have XP that can be stored in bottles bought and sold… Im going to say No to this request.

I do plan on removing the infinite ranking donators can do, as they get all these gifts each time! but we will see, I will do some testing and put up a poll etc.

As for now; nope.
