My feedback on the new userranks.

[jackass]

Don't shove this in all the other threads that will be made, because it won't be listened to.

I love the whole idea of the new stars, as I suggested them a while back.

Anyway, firstly, I think ruby should be before sapphire and I think you should lower the number of posts for platinum as it is far too high.

In my opinion, the best option would be to remove ruby, and lower emerald and platinum to slot into its place (emerald being the same posts as the current ruby, and platinum being the same posts as the current emerald), as no one will ever get 40,000 posts, not for years anyway, and by then, the person in question would of most probably left.

I do like the new stars, its just ruby I have always had a problem with.

EDIT; In my opinion it should be:
Bronze > Silver > Gold > Sapphire > Emerald > Platinum

(Sapphire, Emerald & Platinum all slide back one play to fit where Ruby was)

same here i also suggested these two colours i think theyre a great idea as poeple who have been on 5 star plat for ages must of been getting a bit bored
the only down side is ive lose my storage box limitations and i havent checked my user profile pic
tbh i hope that hasnt gone =[

Emerald should go as the stars are not the same size as the other stars.

Also 20,000 posts should be the one that gets you 5 star platinum.

You have to remember, they can't just lower certain colours into certain areas, because they have to work with how many posts and so on you get for each star too.

What usually happens when ranks are changed on forums, is they work from the highest point, but of course Habbox are using precious stones and materials, so they have to come in order of value.

There could be a way of shrinking the standards to get bronze, silver and gold quicker so sapphire comes in below where Ruby used to come in.

Afterall, this is a big change and it should of been considered what would happen to features, and having people remove aload of PMs, avatars and so on is a bit out of order, really.

Platinum was fine where it was, it would of been interesting to see something after Platinum. Infact, Platinum and Diamond are sort of the same thing, so perhaps replacing Platinum with Diamond and having Platinum appear as the next line of ranking would of been more acceptable. But you'll have to think how to do a diamond star, because it can't be too similar to platinum

Personally I agree with 5 star platinum being very high so very few, if any, will achieve it. When the userranks system was first introduced people were saying that 5 star platinum at 10000 posts would be impossible to reach and now quite a few people have over 10000. People like Gomme and Jesus I'm sure will be happy with the new post counts because they again have something to aim for. You can't please everyone but now the lower ranks have something different to aim for and the higher ranks actually have something at all to aim for

What I don't really agree with is lowering the privilidges of members who gained the rank under the old system, I think it would've been better to tack some privilidges onto the ranks that are 5000+ posts and keep the same privilidges for everyone else; special "habbox god" avatars or a bold username or something like that. With some people having moved down ranks because of the new post requirements, and the ranks themselves having less privilidges, its kinda a double whammy for some people and they'll find themselves a lot worse off than they were yesterday.

Of course, the above is totally non-official because I had nothing to do with this decision

Only PMs have been removed, the avatars and such are still there but now literally hundreds of members are unintentionally breaking the rules.

I already got my aim of getting platinum, now I have to get it again I would rather have a new rank and keep my old one, that get it again. It's boring and if anyone looks forward for the same rank they had before, they're crazy!!!

Anyway, I think it was heartbreak kid who posted this:

The 40th is RUBY, as red as red can be
The 45th is SAPPHIRE - precious and blue
The 50th is GOLDEN - Congratulations to you!
The 55th is EMERALD - so green and so pure,
The 60th DIAMOND - an achievement for sure.
The 65th BLUE SAPPHIRE and 70th PLATINUM
The last two which are reached by some
The 75th is DIAMOND AND GOLD
The 80th OAK

Perhaps they could use the classic diamond, instead of stars for the ledgend rank?

But diamond isn't as valuable as platinum Even though that would look nicer, but for men it maybe a bit gay
