I'm not sure I will get an answer to this yet but will ask anyway.

Even though the ranking system will be changing... Will the limits of days and expieriance still be in place? Please tell me that someone can't promote their friend straight from Thug to Consig in one day.

Hmm not sure if I like this or not but will try it out before I say one way or the other I think Tetly has a point about what he said though.

So many great changes in only the last couple days, I can't wait to see what else is to come!

Gah, sorry again for another double post!

Was wondering if there were still to do min time to rank, and if so, will they be tweaked at all or kept the same?

I advise that Right Hands and Left Hands be an available rank. Since "Level" will be holding all experience-based data, and the "Rank" field is completely arbitrary, now would be a good time to get rid of the "Thug RH" problem and make "Right Hand" a rank all its own.

nice!

I like the idea of RHM and LHM being a rank

I like the manuel promotions of ranks and I don't mind the game levels but I don't like how everyone can see my level.  Let's pretend it's real life and "levels" were real.  Would a thug from LA who knows nothing about me (who lives all the way in NY) know what level I am at in the crime world? 

Suggestion:  Make it so no one can see your rank until you have acquired the experience first.  How would a thug know how high a level a GF is?  Unless from "hear say".

Again, love the change but please make people earn their view of my level and, hell, let's throw their rank into stealth until said required exp.  Get what I mean?

I like the idea of RHM and LHM being a rank as well.

Not really liking this. I liked keeping my units private. :(

this one is iffy for me. That being said, I haven't let this really sink in - time will tell I guess...but the initial reaction..

I prefer people get over Thug RH's. Its a person that should be trusted by the CL regardless of rank or level. A CL can die for something a RH does and vice versa. You just dont hand that over to anyone.

This change is also iffy with me but I guess we will see how it plays out

If you read the original thread carefully, you'll see like I did that once this change is put in place rank and units will no longer be linked in any way. So although right now it does give away your 'potential rank', in the future it will give no information of that sort away.

Nice. Now it would take twice the effort for somebody to prove themself in a family.

This thing of ours is griving very nicely.

Keep doing what your doing im behind you 100%

if rank doesnt matter how will godfathers be determined

What the fuck?!

I don't like my units being shown and as I said elsewhere, it should totally be the CL's prerogative to name their RH without implicit questioning from people from other crews.

I like this change. that said, i would like to see rank only viewable by you, and you CL/RH/LH.

I am not a fan of this change, just my two cents.  I don't think ranks were really given to us by the game anyways.  I mean to a certain extent they were all the way till wiseguy, but to become made or above you had to truly earn those rank (or at least the idea is).

I don't see how this game change would affect anything.  I believe that crew leaders would still promote their guys to wiseguy without much thought, and Mademan will still be the big button.  Creating this idea of a "level" clutters the profile page and takes away from the simplicity of the game, that was the beauty of it in my opinion.  Adding unncessary complications to the game makes me want to play it less each day.  

Just my two cents, not here to argue, everyone is entitled to their opinion.  

i think your level should be for your family only to see, dissapointed to say the least. just makes thinks more scalpel like for attacks, x,y and z are ready to set up.. shoot them in a war, x is near gf, shoot him too.
