Pipping.
So. I am really confused and frustrated on how the ranking system is not working at all!
I've literally just had 3 rounds in which I did the following things:
Participated in 2 FULL Gen Repairs.
Unhooked 2 people safely.
Have been chased by the Killer for at least 4 minutes. Or in the First case 8 minutes.
Cleansed 3 totems.
Healed 5 health states.
Survived the most of the game or escaped Unbroken.
In each match I had around 20-25k bloodpoints.
AND I DIDN'T PIP. Excuse me but I think SOMETHING is wrong. >:/

That's peculiar it could be just chalked up to the emblem system being the emblem system but it looks like to me at least you should have pipped. Hard to tell without a video though.

The important question is: Which Emblems did you get?

Definately not the ones I would deserve for all that I have done.

The system increases in difficulty the higher you get in ranks. So if you're talking red or even purple ranks, it's possible that all that wouldn't always be enough to pip, depending on what else goes on in the game.
It's worth noting that:
(a) cleansing totems does not award very many points
(b) the emblem system doesn't care about self-healing
(c) the unbroken emblem doesn't care about how long you lasted without being downed, and it only cares how long you were alive if you don't escape
So all of those things, and more, could have affected your ability to pip. For example, if you die that's an automatic silver or lower in unbreakable, which means at red ranks you would need a minimum of two iridescents and a gold in the other categories to pip at all.
If you're really concerned about ranking up, it's a good idea to learn how the system works so you know what is and is not a valuable use of your time as far as the emblem system is concerned.

I understand how you feel. Sometimes the progress bar touches the next emblem level but it still doesn't count as the next level. The system is definitely broken and it's too difficult to get pips in purple and red ranks.

Mate. I am close to 2000 hours in the game. I know my values and have learnt how this game works and changed over the past four years.

If you can't even tell us which Emblems you got, how are we supposed to have a discussion?
0 -
Than why are you asking us for the answer if you clearly know how the game works from your 2k hours?

That's good for you. The wording of your original post (saying you were "confused and frustrated" for example) made it sound as though you didn't understand how the emblems work or why you didn't pip in that situation. I was just trying to help.

lol sounds to me like you went for bloodpoints and not pipping. 25 k bp easy every game. doesnt mean anything to emblems.
dont do all the gens with others . do at least 1 on your own. best case is, do 2 alone.
2 save unhooks should be enough.
you got chased for 8 minutes? lol okaaaaayyyyyyyyyy. still i can believe the 4 min chases. not very effective getting chased that long imo. i think it is better to have small chases and get the escaped points for the emblem score.
totems are just good for bloodpoints. so ... meh
5 healthstates of yourself or others?
no offend but just by reading this all it sounds pretty unrealistic xD i think your fantasies about what you did in a game went a little bit wilde.
how long was a game and against what killer? just curious
0 -
8 minutes is nothing against a trash Nurse that doesn't leave you alone for anything.
5 Health states of others.
Games usually took from 10-15 minutes. Did expand with hitting the purple ranks again though.

well given these circumstances you should have pipped definitly at green an purple.
even at red ranks i pip for doing 1-2 gens, unhook 2 survs, some healing and 2 or 3 chases without escaping.
mby you should try to analyse what emlem you lacking during the game or go over the emblems afterwards to get a hint why you only got silver or bronze.

It might be -- and I know this sounds crazy, but hear me out -- that the emblem system is extraordinarily bad.

Also don't forget if the killer is trash or afk you get bad evader and benevolent
