Which Rank at which XP?

(boeserjavamann) #1

hi,

is there a list at which XP you get which rank? or has it to do with more than the xp e.g. the battle sense?

What’s This I Hear About Experience?
Enemy Territory has introduced a system by which players can gain additional abilities as they do their “job” and participate in the game. Every class has a set of four skills specific to them (Engineering, Signals, Heavy Weapons, Covert Ops, and Medical). Additionally, there are two other skill sets that are generic to all classes (Battle Sense and Light Weapons). To get a better sense for how the skill system works, read the PlayerGuide.html document inside the docs/ folder.
What I want to do now is just list the skills and describe what they do. The experience point levels and points earned per action might be slightly off, but the skill names and descriptions come courtesy of Activision. The format is:

[Skill Level][Name of Skill][Experience Points Required][Description]

How Do Ranks Correspond To Experience?
Ranks are earned by increasing your skill levels. However, the rank system rewards the well rounded player who can excel at multiple classes as well as basic combat. I don’t have a chart that maps skill levels to rank, but it seems that in order to reach Colonel, you need to reach level 4 in at least 2 classes, as well as level 4 in some other disciplines (light weapons and battle sense). If you just concentrate on one class and only gain skill there, you will be capped in rank but I’m not sure which one.
Here’s how the progression works (thanks to McAfee and PurpleDrillMonkey for this)

Rank, up to Lieutenant, is determined by the level of your highest skill. Every skill level gained in that skill results in a promotion. You can attain a maximum rank of Lieutenant (4 promotions) if by maxing out in only one skill
To gain further promotions, you must reach level 4 in multiple skills
So an example of ranking up will be:

PVT (no insignia) = (This is how you start)
PFC (one chevron) = Level 1 in one skill
CPL (two chevron) = Level 2 in one skill
SGT (three chevron) = Level 3 in one skill
LT (one silver bar) = Level 4 in one skill
CPT (two silver bars) = Level 4 in two skills
MAJ (gold oak leaf) = Level 4 in three skills
COL (eagle) = Level 4 in four skills

Covert Ops
Improved use of Scoped Weapon Ammunition [20] - Inventory includes one extra clip of ammunition for Scoped Weapons

Improved use of Sabotage and Misdirection [50] - Satchel charges and smoke grenade only require 2/3 normal charge

Breath control [90] - Recoil pitch and swaying halved on scoped weapons

Assassin [140] - Instant kill with any back-stab

Dont you instent kill with a back-stab anyway ?

(damocles) #8

No, you have to place the stab very carefully to get instant kill with a knife. With the assassain skill you can stab them in the ankle and they drop. Now that’s some fancy knifework!

(Ifurita) #9

No, a normal backstab inflicts 100 points of damage

(damocles) #10

You sure iffy? I’ve had times when I’ve stabbed people two or three times in the back and they haven’t died.

(Ifurita) #11

Yes, I am pretty sure. Try it out on someone and get in back of them, and wait until you see the backstab icon. At that point, you will do 100 points of damage, ~14 otherwise

(damocles) #12

Maybe that’s it then, maybe you have to wait for the stab icon before you can really murder them. Normally when I am backstabbing I don’t like to take the chance of them turning around and so stab the instant I’m in range. I’ll try the waiting thing and see if I can be a dirty backstabber :slight_smile:
