Cop Ranking

    • Cop Ranking

      I'm getting alot of complaints of the cop system being way too grindy for very little rewards.

      Like take Vikinator for example, he has 1600 exp and hes only gotten ranked up twice. The only benefit he gets from the rank up was a little extra health and armor and 1 grenade.

      I think that the exp should be reduced a bit, or that the rewards would be better for reaching those 600 marks.

      Also a recommendation I heard would be to add dailies for cops and I thought it was a good idea as well.

    • The same goes for gang ranks. I've been working at it for an hour (with some of the best luck ever) and I don't even have close to 100 respect. Yet it takes 1100 respect to rank up once. I totally get that people should have to work for these but there should still be a reasonable sense of progression.

      Low Level Cop is supposed to start off slow though it because a little slower than intended when the Exp was changed to a Higher Number.

      Gang Exp on the other hand is fine, the last 3 ranks of Gang are extremely strong and should take a very long time to reach without assistance.
      Wouldn't it be better if it gradually increased with each rank?

      Like 300-650-1000-1450-etc

      Fair enough.

      I agree

      gradually increasing exp would require redesign of entire system so no ill think about lowering exp values tho and for the daily challenge for cop the only thing i can think of is arrests and if i do that then ill need to make sure only cops can be assigned that daily which again would require a complete redesign

    • Last year we had a guy(Kenay) , achieve Chief of Police status in about a month. We bumped it up to 600 exp per level because of that. It should only take 30% longer to get Chief now. Hard grinders (like Vikinator) should be able to be Chief inside 10 weeks.


      Graduated levels are not a bad idea , if it works out to be the same total.

      /dailies for cops sounds like a good idea too.

    • I was speaking with Doom about this and since graduated levels would be hard to do, we thought about the idea of getting rid of police academy student and having all cops start as officer. And then raising the exp slightly so it still ends at 4800 exp. This would only be a 10hp change for officer, but it puts them on a faster track to earning their first useful weapon.

    • Having 1 less rank and having it still end at 4800 would make it not come up with a clean rank up number. But if you were to eliminate the first rank and start at officer, but changed the promotions to 700 per it would put chief at 4900 xp.
      1. Police Officer = 0-699 Exp.2. Police Corporal = 700-1399 Exp.3. Police Sergeant = 1400-2099 Exp.4. Police Lieutenant = 2100-2799 Exp.5. Police Captain = 2800-3499 Exp.6. Police Major = 3500-4199 Exp.7. Police Colonel = 4200-4899 Exp.8. Chief of Police = 4900 Exp and Beyond.compared to the current system1. Police Academy Student = 0-599 Exp.2. Police Officer = 600-1199 Exp.3. Police Corporal = 1200-1799 Exp.4. Police Sergeant = 1800-2399 Exp.5. Police Lieutenant = 2400-2999 Exp.6. Police Captain = 3000-3599 Exp.7. Police Major = 3600-4199 Exp.8. Police Colonel = 4200-4799 Exp.9. Chief of Police = 4800 Exp and Beyond.This would make Corporal and Sergeant easier to get, and only makes lieutenant-Major a Bit easier to get. Colonel would be the same in this system and chief of police would be 100 more experience to get. making this harder.
