Class progression not saving

[RandomPerson78642]

I don't know why nobody has addressed this yet, but the class progression for tanks is not working.

You can actually level up in a tank class if you get enough team points in one match, but it always gets reset on map change.

This happens with any tank class:

German

Russian

Even the unused Japanese.

And yes, those first two screenshots were taken on a ranked, online server.

That's because there isn't anything for the Japanese Tank, remember it wasn't complete, not unused. 60% of that tank is placeholders, it's not surprising they didn't bother to code class progression, that'd be a low priority for TWI. Especially when the tank was only in Beta, and it was only in testing. For class progression, those files have to be made. They're not there for the Type 95 Ha-Go.

I know that, it was just a little side note. Forget about the japanese one.

The main issue here is that it's not working for Germans and Russians on ranked, unmodified, online servers.
I think to reproduce it you need about 150 team points or around 40 kills.

Unless it was disabled by design? I can't imagine why.

 

[RandomPerson78642]

Yup, about 230 total class points.

You level up, but then at the end it says "You did not receive any class XP this match" and on the next map it's back to zero.

If this is intentional I can't comprehend why. Even if you don't get any bonuses, you should still be able to at least keep the level.

 

[Beskar Mando]

Probably don't receive any XP becuase you're not supposed to level up. A few others do the same.

 

[RandomPerson78642]

If you're not supposed to then they should make it so you can't.

They shouldn't let you level up and then immediately take it away.

 

[RandomPerson78642]

It keeps happening

And the thing is, I poked around in ROGameStatsWrite.uc and the code seems to be all there. Then why isn't it doing anything?

 

[Ducky]

Not 100% sure, but I believe a different TCP/IP port is used to write the stats. Maybe it's blocked at your end or your ISPs end?

 

[RandomPerson78642]

I don't think so. As you see in the shots a few posts above all the other roles are working just fine.

I've had this happen while playing on my laptop as well, so it can't be just my specific setup.

 

[Ducky]

Where you behind the same router?
Where you using the same internet connection (ISP)?

 

[RandomPerson78642]

My computer is connected to my router, but my laptop is wifi. I've tried it on my home and several outside networks.

I've chatted with a bunch of other players and they don't have it either.


And it's starting to happen every single match now. This is getting ridiculous.

 

[=GG= Mr Moe]

I'll be honest, I didn't think there was class progression for tankers at all...

 

[RandomPerson78642]

It even says that there's no progression on the Tripwire wiki.

It boggles me how this has been in since RO2's launch, yet nobody's noticed this yet.
Maybe it's just that nobody's gotten enough points in a single match before?

I'm on about level 38 with the tank (if it didnt reset), I just kept forgetting to post anything about it.

 

[RandomPerson78642]

Well depends on what you mean by level. There's Honor and Rank.

Honor is a number from 0-99, it applies to all roles.

Rank is separate for each role and there's only 6: Raw Recruit, Frontline Soldier, Hardened, Veteran, Highly Decorated, Hero.


As you see above I'm at Honor 94, a Hero for all roles, and Frontline Soldier for the tank.

I wonder if it's possible to level up even further. Theoretically if you have a really long map time it could be possible.

 

[Cwivey]

Eh, the joke was I've had it occur a lot of times but never got around to posting about it.

Just some left-over code from a time when in development the tankies could be leveled.

 

[RandomPerson78642]

And you know this how? I don't quite understand what you're trying to say.

 

[Cwivey]

What I'm saying is: tanks should not level at all, but at a previous point during the development of RO2 there was tank leveling, and this bug is the left-over ranking calculations for the tank class.

 

[RandomPerson78642]

So it seems this was done on purpose then. An utterly stupid decision, but that's a whole different topic.

 

[RandomPerson78642]

It's official: they were planning to have tanks level up but ran out of time and couldn't be bothered to add it later.

That sucks. Even if they didn't add any upgrades they should've at least let us keep the rank.
