Meneleus Players 596 posts 7,522 battles Report post #1 Posted January 6, 2016 It seems the new season is upon us and I have started as at a slightly higher rank this time. I have played a few ranked games last season and rember that at the end of it I would receive a number of stars at the onset of the next one, so that will probably be the explanation. Point is however that this time around awards are given for every rank you gain, yet I have apparently received no reward for the ranks I gained automatically because of last season. In my case this would be a number of signals and 3000 free experience points, let alone the folks who ranked higher then I did. Is this the case I am wondering? If this is intentional then I would rather be starting at the lowest rank and earn these rewards, it would be a pity to miss out on 3000 free experience points.

At least it was like that for me in last season. Please, no more new ranked threads. There are like 5-6 threads on the first page already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we don't get anything I do not see the point of playing it. It makes no sense to give people Kitakami in the "pilot season" and then literally nothing except a flag that we do not even get to keep (I guess) and is not unique, in the first "real" season.

I just scrolled through the news a bit and haven't found anything. Maybe it was something on forum or some other 3rd party websites. I highly doubt they'd remove the news just like that.

And great amusement on ships like Ryujo and other carriers. "Yo hooo here comes Ranger United!" "SHADDUP we are Hiryu FC" Carriers just have a hilarious placement for the flag, Ryujo in particular.

albinbino Players 662 posts 11,080 battles Report post #19 Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) Just the fact you get more 20% credits and xp in ranked battle then in random battles is good enough for me. Also it would be crazy to miss reaching rank 16 for free premium. And for frustrations, well i get frustrated in random battles also, or for my bad play or team bad play. I will rather then play ranked where i am rewarded more and i do need credits , flags are also fine. Edited January 6, 2016 by albinbino Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now at the begining of the new season i had rang 20! Why? "At the beggining of the NEW season" - you basically answered it yourself. New season, new ranks. Wouldnt it be kinda stupid if you started from the same rank as previous season? Rank1 players would not be able to play then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Az I got to rank 1 last season. This meant I started this season as rank 14 with 0 stars. I played 1 game (won) which still left me well and truly on rank 14 and I got a ton of rewards for the previous ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
