lol honestly I'd like to join a public gold/platinum lobby with all you people that say N7 doesnt matter with your level 120s~800s with both of us using level 1 characters with the same weapons and everything, and see which one of us gets booted out the lobby 1st, If I even get booted at all.

Kind of hoping for an OP troll here. Fail if he isnt

[Emerald_Phoenix]

I'm N7 480 won the last 20+ platinum games I played. I only promote for weekend events that require it.

At this point I wish they would just remove the N7 ranking all together since all it does is spur conversations/threads like this one.

[Ashen One]

So I should be in Silver?

Okay then.

[E71]

We need some form of requirements but solely relying on N7 rank isn't the way to go.

[Booshnickins]

My N7's 510, so I couldn't play Gold anymore... yeah that's seems fair.

My N7 rank is only 600, but I'm pretty sure you would get booted first if people check weapons.

It's not a stupid idea.  It's a suggestion for one way that novice players could be kept out of the higher levels they're clearly not ready for.  It's not a perfect solution by any means, but it's more than most people have offered.

Of course it's a stupid idea, sure below 120 you know for sure that the player will surely be bringing a knife into a gunfight.

But a N7 120 can never have promoted, and have a manifest on par with someone with N7 3000+
So at N7 120 or above the only hints you have on the real level of the player is what he brings into the fight.

That is where the HUMAN INTELECT comes into play.

If you see a N7 120 + entering a gold/plat lobby with a common weapon even at X, you can kick him.
if you see a N7 120 + entering a gold/plat lobby with a level 20 toon, UR weapons and consumable, he clearly deserve a chance, and if you don't give him that chance you are clearly stupid.

So yes, supid Idea is stupid.

... You kinda missed the point, if we both are using the same weapons/class/level, your surely going out the window 1st. Now i don't really understand the whole weapons comment either. My manifest is 23 UR upgrades behinde you? lol awesome, good to know I'd be in a lobby with my less substantial manifest...

The only n7 level requirement that would even come close to being an ok idea is 120 to show that a person has most likely played with each of the characters enough to have a grasp on the gameplay. Even then it's not a big deal cause even if they're below 120 doesn't mean they're not good. Me and my group would constantly play gold with our friend who was a low rank and he did just fine.

[KoorahUK]

I've played with N7's way higher than me who were constantly getting their arse kicked, and N7's lower than me who have pulled my arse out of the fire.

So....no.

The only meaningful N7 threshhold is 120. After that you should be looking at guns and gear.

Yup. a level 120 with a harrier x compared to a level 3000 with a harrier 1. who do you think has done better?

N7 rank means nothing if you haven't noticed. It just means you have leveled your characters all the time. What does that mean? Exactly, it's an indication that you haven't played Gold or Platinum that much, it just means that you wasted your time leveling char's. Srsly mate, I'm surprised that you can't see the huge flaw in your proposal.

No. Most horrible idea I've read on the forum.

[L-train32]

I'm only 620 and I do platinum regularly. Terrible idea!

This.

Ppl should realize that constant promoting basically means that most of your games were not played on platinum (or even gold) difficulty.

[Chardonney]

That is all.

[Misfiring]

Not sure I have read a stupid-er idea than this.

Having more game time doesn't necessarily translate into more skills. N7 rank is a very poor way of judging player.

[Gezar149]

Wow, I wonder if OP regrets posting this thread.

[Bzilla]

N7 level = Waste of space on my screen.

If I had a choice between playing with an N7 3000 vs an N7 200, I would go with the 200. Almost every player that i've seen with a high N7 usually rage quits because they didn't top the scoreboard or brags about how bad ass they are when they are terrible team players.

[Lucius Aelius]

In theory something like what OP suggests would be a good idea, but specifically his implementation is way off. I've been N7 900 for a very long time now and I'm not the only one who's stopped promoting long since, the number of hours played would definitely be a better indication entirely on its own without N7 being considered at all, not even a little bit, nada zilch. N7 rating is total bull****, as such would be any attempt to use it for anything useful.

And hours played unfortunately isn't enough, it would have to include data on extraction rates and hours played per difficulty and the like, only a truly comprehensive system would do what needs to be done without breaking more than it fixes. It would be nice if they decided to go for it (and not in the half-assed way they did it last time they tweaked the matchmaking), unfortunately I don't see it happening (any attempt worth doing would likely be more involved than they're prepared to handle, I wouldn't care to think of all the coding issues they'd have redesigning the whole matchmaking from the ground up, so not gonna happen).

And better by far if they do nothing than half-assing it again. It's a choice between all-out redesign or no change at all (unless it's easier to do what I'm suggesting than I know, in which case I'll eat my words).

[K1LLJOY04]

How about Full Extraction on U/U/B to get into silver and so forth. Don't know if that could be implemented but it means you can't farm yourself to platinum.
