You should be able to keep Crystalline Conflict rank rewards after changing servers

[AnotherPerson]

Keeping Crystalline Conflict rank should be a thing, especially if Data Center Travel is implemented. If we're allowed to travel to other Data Centers to play (and eventually, party up if team queue becomes a thing), we should also be able to queue in a similar ranking through Crystalline Conflict without climbing again from the beginning as other players, no? Likewise, the rank rewards should be kept if people are transferring across Data Centers since the highest rank is already preserved.

Unless Data Center Travel prohibits PvP or access via the Duty Finder, I don't see why keeping Crystalline Conflict rank and rewards shouldn't be allowed.

Rewards yes, but rank no.

It's not that I'm against it, but I don't really think that's how ranks work in general in any competitive mode. Different DCs are going to have slightly different skill levels that are difficult to gauge or compare for one.

But for another reason... Ranking systems tend to be like a pyramid. There's less spots the higher up you go. It's easy enough to slide a rank out of any position in the ladder, the gap should fill on its own naturally but you can't simply shove a rank into a ladder that's already full.

Anyways, I support the transferring of rewards. You earned those and those aren't a problem. Transferring rank would be a bit different though.

I think for the basic Bronze to Crystal tier, the rewards can be easily transferred over. However, the top 100 rewards are difficult to transfer over.

If the season is still continuing, then if the said player is at Crystal tier rank and at the top 100, those positions could still change because people are still battling for them. It's difficult to judge just because the person placed top 100 that they will stay in the top 100 when transferring out of that Datacenter. If the reward is guaranteed for the top 100 positions when transferring out, it means one placement in the previous Datacenter will be locked out entirely and cannot be contested for.

The rewards are currently only for the top 100. Do you think it's fair that the rank gets transferred, but if they are in Crystal Tier, their credit resets back to 0? That way, they would still have to climb back up. Likewise, for all the previous ranks, they will keep their rank (Gold III, Diamond II, etc.) but their stars will reset back to 0. I think that's the most fair result since they will still have to battle against other players if they want to climb up in that rank.

Edit: Alternatively, prevent transfer of rank in the last 14 days -- but drop their Crystal Credit by 500 to 1000 credits if there are more than 14 days left and the said player decides to transfer so they still have to battle other players in that Datacenter when climbing back up during the season or be booted out of their original ranking.
