    Level 50 Ranked

    I just switched to PC after playing r6 for 5 years and have never gotten a smurf or anything. only ever played on one account. so after all those years of ranked play i am now forced to go through 50 levels of unenjoyable gameplay. i love siege. but ive had such a lack of motivation to play the last month because i just hate playing unranked/casual. i know this post wont get Ubi to change the ranked level back to 20 but i just really have to complain about this because its BS.


    P.S. they need to make it possible for me to get my old siege account back. lots and lots of money wasted by switching to PC.

    Just imagine..some of this community wants it raised to CL 100! Your thread enforces my reasons for keeping it 50. I agree that 30 was a bit low to learn the game enough to be competitive. But 50, to me, is close enough to the sweet spot.

    As far as DLC and such..well..I doubt transfers will ever happen. Such a move would come dangerously close to promoting sales of accounts. Meaning I could sell my psn Siege account to someone on PC.

    I had a level 51 guy recently in a ranked game who went 0 and 8. Had no idea how to use utility and didnt even use his mic. Yeah that stuff happens if you let people with a couple of hours just go into ranked. Smurfs and cheaters are also a problem a higher ranked cap would solve.

    Yeah, this is a really debated point in the community. Some folks feel that level 20 isn't enough time to really learn/ experience the game, but others, particularly folks that are moving from one platform to another and already know the game, can feel like moving up through the levels is a bit of a slog. I guess a solution here would be binding accounts? Maybe allow a lower clearance level for folks who already have experience with the game on another platform?

    Binding accounts is a great idea, on multiple levels. Doing that would also allow you to keep your cosmetics across platforms, etc. Very good idea.

    EA use to have a cross over page to add up all games played by same person for veteran rewards for Battlefield for all platforms. UBISOFT should have some kinda form at Ubisoft.com to type in our email and all gamer tags for each console or pc to have them be a option to carry stats over. Cause i'm switching from XBOX1 to PS5. Not sure if I buy Siege though. Since I be starting over at zero rank and not sure what characters would be unlocked right away. I think UBISOFT is money hungry and prefer people to buy season passes to unlock characters. Since after 5 years I don't have the ambition to play for hours on end to unlock 5,000 to 10,000 renown in one sitting like previous seasons. Now i'm lucky if I play 3 or 4 games total.
