Hey guys, 

 

 have been thinking about my Jolly Roger Pirate Flag and came up with some ideas about these flags in the future

1)Flags should be unique - I think that even giving the same flag for the three seasons of ranked battles was a little bit unwise, I think these flags should without any questioning set the event for which they have been awarded.

2)Flags should be accessible - there could/should be events all around for all flags - for me - to be honest the Jolly Roger Pirate Flag is my pride of gaming:)

 

And that fact (pride of gaming) is another good reason, why in the possible future ranked meatgrinder, I would find it preferable to have another type of flag for achieving rank 1 - because some of us already have the flag and there is some reward for winning, but if you already have the flag its kind of not so motivating is it:) I mean I didnt really go for the third ranked battles, cause I already had the flag - played some games but the fact is the ranked battles were utter hard and without the vision of the unique flag at the end - there was just little reason to go through the hell of all these committed players.

for someone like me who mods his/her flag files the fact they keep getting shifted around every major patch is trouble enough. Ive got to be honest I really don't want to have to keep re-doing the flag mod every month because of a new flag from a random competition

Hm that should be taken into consideration - I dont actually know what are you talking about basically:) but mods are always an issue.

long story short the flags are arranged on a .DDS file so the game can quickly place the image onto the flag pole of the ship.

when new flags are added the flags are often re-arranged so when you log in after each new patch the flags may be mis-matched. this means you have to re do the mod file...

The way they do the Jolly roger flag is fantastic!!! I have not got 1 yet but to my understanding you get flag A the first time you get to rank 1. there is a new flag the second time and so on!!! This way it shows the players that repeatedly acheave rank 1

jolly roger for example is a verry iconic flag.

 

you want someone who is new to the game to never be able to get it? (considering you already have it thats aeasy to say....)

i myself did not have the time the last 3 seasons to play for rank 1, but want to do it once or twice some day.

and im glad i am not pressured to do so by some stupid deadline.

 

less iconic falgs i can see the point of them beein "unique"

I don't care and take no notice if people are flying these flags. I have a closed beta one which I have no intention of ever flying. If you feel you need the epeen then fair enough. But to be honest I am rarely close enough or have the time in battle to look at a flag ( let alone have a clue what most are for as i just don't care) . Just as I don't have the right port enabled in game to see the stupid ARP crap.

But isn't there going to be a new Jolly Roger flag for each new ranked season?

 

Ranked Season 1 - no flag

Ranked Season 2 - Jolly Roger flag 

Ranked Season 3 - Jolly Roger with hat flag

Ranked Season 4 - new Jolly Roger flag ?

I agree, but when u get your unique flag - may it be some other new flag - wouldnt you like to have it unique then?

actually no

i think every flag should be optainable on multiple occasions.

the only restriction i like to see is that the effort is the same every time (as close as possible)

actually, i like the idea of flags being rewarded after you achieve rank 1 X times. And with this 5 different flags should be enough, imagine what the file will look like after some years (it is like 3-5 new flags every year, no?)

Then again, there were a lot of different historical pirate flags; some with the skull-and-crossbones motif, some without. I doubt WG would ever run out of inspirational themes for flags.
