I really want to see some form of displayed rank in Sea of Thieves, in my opinion this would be something like having a "Ranks" Section in your Pirate Log, where it would show you your rank. This would be PvP only and would work based on how many times you sink and/or kill other people along with something called "Notorious Coins" which are a type of currency you need to collect to advance through the ranks. This will also be paired with your K/D that i spoke about earlier. This doesn't SoT will become a ranked only game or have a ranked mode, but a reward given to those who want to PvP, the lobbies will still be created how they are now.
For example, this is how ranks would look:
Sailor = 100 NC
Swashbuckling Sailor = 250 NC
Rogue Pirate = 400 NC
Legendary Sailor = 560 NC
Legendary Rogue Pirate = 700 NC
Legendary Voyager of The Sea of Thieves = 1000 NC
Notorious Dark Voyager of The Sea of Thieves = 2000 NC
You would gain Notorious Coins for:
Killing pirates (max cap of 5 times per enemy killed in one server) = 1 NC
Sinking Ships (max cap of 3 times per crew sunk in one server) = 10 NC
Full De-mast = 5 NC
Stealing loot 1 (minimum of 20 item must be stolen from one crew to gain points) = 10 NC
Stealing loot 2 (minimum of 40 items must be stolen from one crew to gain points) = 20 NC
Successful Cursed Cannon Balls = 1 NC
ETC.
These ranks would give you rewards, such as exclusive cosmetics and small non-advantage-giving features, it would just be something on the side that im sure many people would enjoy.
Please let me know what you think and how you would think to improve this system
