You should not be able to lose pips anymore.

it is just pointless and it makes this Grade reward system needlessly frustrating. Excuse me, FOR SOLOS. Of course this simple to remedy situation wouldn't be.

Before someone says it. Who cares if people would hit Iri 1 faster? It has no bearing on anything other than the BP we all want to reduce this million year grind.


As a solo survivor this is maddening to me. Just now I get on today and need 1 pip to reach Gold 1.

6 matches I play and I now need 3 pips to reach Gold 1. I black pipped 4 times and now depipped twice in a row. Why?


AFK survivors at the start. Killers who play like SCUM and won't even let you get a safe unhook on an AFK player like come on.


In 6 matches. 4 of them contained either AFK survivors or people INSTANTLY killing themselves on the hook. My grade has nothing to do with me its the CLOWNS who I get paired with.

    At the very least you shouldn't be able to lose pips in Ash grades, just like it used to be with ranks.

    It's frustrating having to spend two weeks just trying to reach bronze.

    agreed. if Grade is meant to be a measure of time played, there is no need for depipping anymore.

    Survivor emblems are pretty bad unfortunately. But you can still reach it if you play enough.

    I understand not everyone has time for that tho. It is not a solution.

    I still don’t care for the grades as we’re only playing with against people who have “similar skill”. Like it’s honestly just pointless.

    Kinda same but I always reach the top if I play enough anyway.

    Also I don't care about bp's that much but some people do since they don't have much time to play the game and grind. And some of them are new and need a lot of grinding for decent perks.

    Emm.... I'm average player and it took me roughly 30-40h (and i heard some good one climb much faster) to get iri1 with survivor. I'm not proud of myself but I think it won't be healthy if every single players can get iri1 just by launching game. It's a little goal that should encourage people to achieve.

    Grades have no bearing on anything in the game whatsoever other than the rank rewards. My grade doesn't impact other players at all.

    Losing pips merely makes something frustrating when there is no reason for it to be.

    Every time I get one pip away from grade-ing up, I get a [BAD WORD] match with teammates who go down in two seconds, disconnect, refuse to touch gens, etc. And it keeps happening until I lose every pip.

    YES. and of course people who mostly play SWF won't have to deal with this problem or see how frustrating this is.

    Until I hit gold it was mostly decent but at that point, this got out of control and I started having so many bad matches and like you said it's because of nonsense players.

    THEN that is when I started thinking about how quickly you actually DO need to rank if you want the rewards

    You have 30 days to rank 20 times.....

    That means you need to gain a rank at a pace BETTER than a rank every other day. There needs to be days where you rank twice unless I am thinking about it wrong. A rank every other day will leave you at rank 5 short of the goal.

    Then....if you...play ktiller too...LOL!!!! You gotta earn 40 ranks in 30 days. Combine both you need to earn a rank every single day and 2 ranks a day for 10 days....

    All I want is the depips gone.

    This measures our time played....just not our time being face camped and 1 hooked or paired with absolute horrible teammates.


    My god this is getting annoying to deal with.
