Get rid of depipping

Title. I won’t stop until this is patched out. I will die or get banned on this hill.

    Its probably not a bad suggestion at this point given how poorly people react to de-pipping even with how completely unimportant it is in game terms.

    The main reason not to get rid of depipping is just to make progression and losses have the illusion of being meaningful. As weird as it is, this game refuses to remove the concept of rankings or alter it so rank is literally a measurement of play time in a season rather than posing it as some sort of competitive ladder.

    Depipping is fine.

    This is true, but human brains seem to enjoy the "risk" of possibly being setback while not actually being setback.

    I would also guess it is something to just keep folks for plowing through ranks at the speed of light. The devs seem to prefer the speed of sound being the limit of rank rushers.

    I'm cool with depicting existing, but there should better conditions for it. Depicting because a teammate quit first 2 minutes of the game and dandbagging you is awful

    I'm always up for this. The only achievement I've not got is the Iri 1 Survivor and I'll never get that with hoe the current system is.

    You've no idea how happy I am that I got that and most of the other achievements a good while back. If I'd just started the game today with how it is, saw the list of achievements/tome entries on top of how unfun the game is, I'd just nope out and try to get my money back. As it is I'm trying to finish up some of the non-broken achievements/tome entries that don't involve the DLCs for Knight/SM/Wesker and their survivors (not interested in buying two şħīťşħōŵş and an annoyance in a trench coat), then I'm dropping this dumpster fire.

    Welp, no mention of this in the livestream.

    Guess I will die on this hill.

    Fully agree OP. Depipping is totally unecessary. Since rank has no bearing at all on mmr, there is no dedicated competitive scene based on rank, ppl getting more BP has directly no affect on bhvrs profits.

    Just remove it already, grinding rank once you get to iri level is stressful and difficult. Plus monthly reset means it's pretty tight timewise on ppl who can't play constantly. It'd nake everybody's lives more pleasant.
