Afternoon folks -
One of the standout pieces of feedback that we’ve received over the past six months has been that you want the ability to keep levelling your Career Rank beyond 50. So during the later part of Chapter 4: Defying the Odds, we’re upping the cap to let you progress all the way to Career Rank 500.
Note: This post is numbers heavy! Don’t be shy to ask questions in the comments and I’ll do my best to answer. We're in active development of the feature now and so take the below as a first look at the work that we've done so far.
For every 50 ranks that you gain, you’ll earn a Promotion, signifying your progress on the road to 500. During Ranks gained from 51 through to 100, you’ll receive Company Coin, and this will repeat between each Promotion.
Each time you get promoted, the XP Curve is reset, but made stronger, with much bigger jumps in the curve coming for the final Promotions.
And that’s the news, this will be live during the later half of Chapter 4. I’ll see if I can come back with an update on our progress at the end of June. Please do let us know what you think here on the official Battlefield Forums, Battlefield V subreddit, Twitter, Facebook, Discord.
See you at EA Play?

The Xp wont be retroactive, once the new levels hit you will start fresh at 50.

This is NOT the update on ranks I was hoping for. We've been sitting at rank 50 for MONTHS. And now we have to wait 3-4 MORE months for 500 ranks? I would rather have just 50 plain ranks right now.
I used to be the biggest defender of this title when everybody was trash talking it but I can't take this anymore...

Ok, here is the thing. I think the development team is loosing the whole purpose of the ranking system...
What the ranking system is supposed to do:
- Tell other players how experienced you are. Honestly speaking after playing 500 hours you hit a platou and don't get much better. At 500hours you should be close to max rank. I don't think many people will play past 1000 hours with the amount of content available. It's already a very optimistic number.
So basically it will make zero sense to see if someone is rank 150 or 305. It's the same. BF1 ranking worked, so why change it?
- Second of all, rank should come with some privilages. For example: higher ranked players get promoted to squad leader. Or have stronger reinforcements (to late probably for this).
Makes sense, right? Otherwise what's the point.
And finally why would you rank 2 players the same, who is just barely rank 50 and someone who multiple XP points? It's just unfair losing previous progress.
Less rank level and carrying over XP would be a good idea!

How about a retrospective calculation of our rank, using our current XP accumulation to determine our new rank?

Exactly!
I don't see why dedicated players should be punished.
Also I would make max rank more reasonable.
Like max rank of 150 with 1000hours played and close to max rank (140) at 500 hours played.
Max rank should be reachable at least for 1% of the player base. 2% should be close to max rank.
