DOTD (In-Game) Ranks

Hi,

I was wondering if anybody could post the exp requirement for each rank up in DOTD 6

Just thought it would be interesting to know more details about this awesome map.

Thanks

Ok... Here are the ranks as requested ^^ I hope it helps in some way.. although if you are ever wondering again look in the PDA while you are in game and go to the "Ranks" section.

Private: 0-200
Private First Class: 200-500
Specialist: 500-1,000
Corporal: 1,000-1,500
Staff Sergeant: 1,500-3,000
Sergeant First Class: 3,000-4,500
First Sergeant: 4,500-6,500
Sergeant Major: 6,500-10,000
Command Sergeant Major: 10,000-14,000
Secend Lieutenant: 14,000-18,500
First Lieutenant: 18,500-23,500
Captain: 23,500-29,000

Why doesn't anyone wonder how the US army has resources to hand out Personal Data Assistants? Well guess they could afford it with a task force this small, but really I don't think marines get PDAs before the United Aerospace Corporation sets up that Mars base sometime in the 22nd-century

A great share of the Personal Data Assistants come from the UAC as a result of the heavy loss of personnel during the Mars Incident.
The date of the Mars Incident is highly classified and most information about it is based on rumors and gossip.

oh sorry and thanks for that
i didnt realise the ranks were shown in-game on PDA
im almost going to be a CSM!

Actually the mars base incident's date isn't all that much a secret, as the cause of the events. The year was 2145 and reason is offically an experiment gone wrong.

I know that it isn't really classified, but since it happens "in the future" (dotd plays around 2015-2030) I have to cover up the date ^^

lol, your welcome ^^ and we could just agree that because its such a Major Mission that we are taking part in, they gave us all the best stuff!!! lol which magically cost them no money o.o lol

o.O the rank thing in B6 is incomplete..

Yeah, it'll be fixed soon, most of the stuff in the PDA is cut off for some odd reason. It should be rectified in B7, hopefully.

yeah, for some reason it cuts out... heres an idea as well... and I know its odd of me to suggest this but maybe add a few more ranks for the lower level's to seperate them even farther just by like 1k or w/e like WO's or a Gunnery Sgt. or Lance Cpl. ect. ect. just so we see some differant ranked people after they get past 6k-10k ^^ its more just to make the game seem more enjoyable to those who play it a lot to start off with. Kind of gives more insentive to play and I'd imagine it would be easy enough to achieve.. even if it means some of us who just gained our ranks get bumped back down one because of a lack of like 2000 exp now or something due to new ranks.. it just seems to make sence

Maybe, however we can't have Lance Corporals or Gunnery Sargeants since we're the Army, and not the Marines. Warrant Officers might be ok though. If this happens though, I think that there should be alot of stuff that would be unlocked for these additional ranks, you know, more incentive to play!

We are assisting the Army with our Gear.. Imaginary as it might be when we start... I think we might just be an advanced militaristic branch lol For all we know Pesti we could all have the rank 1337 Mo Fo With a Gun. lol and that is why we all die every mission... xD

Touche. This is true.. We are the SRT, after all. The SRT is drawn from every branch of the military, and possibly even from all around the world. However, the SRT doesn't seem to come equipped with modern day standards such as M16 assault rifles and Kevlar Vests... Odd... I guess we're not so special after all. Then again, there's like 6 types of sargeants alone in the Army and like 5 warrant officer ranks, Holy crap.

Yeah... and they are SO original with those WO ranks.. they go.. ahem.. let me make sure I dont get this wrong...

WO1
WO2
WO3
WO4
WO5

HOWEVER i might point out that you can specialize twice during any of those ranks as well as a SGT. and become a WO# Specialist lol which basically just makes you have a higher pay grade... lol but Exactly we are the SRT!

There's like Warrant Officer One and then 4 more ranks but they're called "Chiefs" I mean zomg wtf really.

lol yep... Chief Warrant Officer. the only thing is how do we work a rank into the game without messing up the other ranks.. like.. just add it in as a 1000 exp higher than xxxxxxxxx and move everything else down 1k? as an example.

I think that if this is implemented there will be a major change to the ranks. Starting at the later ranks of sergeant, the next rank-up starts to take ALOT more xp than the previous ones. If this is implemented, I think that it would be cool to choose your characters branch, like Navy, Air Force, Marines or Army. This way you can have cool ranks like Gunnery Sargeant or Chief Master Petty Officer(Master Chief!).
Enlisted
E-2 Private: 0 - 200
E-3 Private First Class: 200 - 500
E-4 Specialist: 500 - 1,000 (It's worth nothing that Specialists get paid the same as Corporals but have NO command responsibilities, they are proficient at whatever thing it is they do however, hopefully.)
E-4 Corporal: 1,000 - 1,500
E-5 Sergeant: 1,500 - 2,000
E-6 Staff Sergeant: 2,000 - 3,000
E-7 Sergeant First Class: 3,000 - 4,500
E-8 First Sergeant: 4,500 - 6,500
E-9 Sergeant Major: 6,500 - 10,000
Command Sergeant Major: 10,000 - 14,000
Commissioned Officers
O-1 Second Lieutenant: 14,000 - 18,500
O-2 First Lieutenant: 18,500 - 23,500
O-3 Captain: 23,500 - 29,000
O-4 Major: 29,000 - 35,000
O-5 Lieutenant Colonel: 35,000 - 41,500
O-6 Colonel: 41,500 - 48,500
O-7 Brigadier General: 48,500 - 56,000
O-8 Major General: 56,000 - 64,000
O-9 Lieutenant General: 64,000 - 72,500
O-10 General: 72,500 and more

hmm yeah.. but I'm thinking that might make it too complicated.. I mean look how long it has taken us to get where we are.. not playing constantly but I mean a good amount and we are no where near General lol

That's true, but it'd be cool to pick whatever branch you are in and then you can progress through those ranks, they are of course equivalent to the other ranks but they have different names. For example, Lt.Col OmniEulogy of the Army = Commander s3rius of the Navy, and Gunnery Sargeant Dev1lD0G of the Marines = Sergeant First Class Leeroy Jenkins of the Army.

That would be cool, but there is a slight problem coming with it.
E.G. abilities which can be unlocked by reaching a certain rank have s.th. like this in their description: "Requires Lieutenant Colonel"
Now, I cannot make this line different for each player. So a player following the Navy branch would still see "Required Lieutenant Colonel" instead of "Requires Commander".

Yeah this is true... well you could always just implement all the WO's are make them each like 1k apart, it doesnt seem like much but really it takes 5k to get through them all and then you could give a bonus for the WO5 (bonus 2 movespeed for example) or something small like that

You could just place the generic global paygrade required instead of the actual rank itself, just a thought. For Example, the paygrade Lieutenant Colonel and its equivalents such as Commander is O-5 across all the branches. But it would be really cool if when you reach a certain rank you can join the Special Forces of a certain branch, after all what is the SRT without some "Special" people in it?

Having the requirement in paygrades would only be confusing. Maybe not to you or me, but to many others who don't have so much knowledge about DotD or the military in general.

You're right, I suppose we can just leave the ranks requirements as is.
