What does a star mean to you?


#762

Prior to fame rework: a denotation of EITHER dedication to fame trains OR relative skill with a class.
Post- fame rework: an indication of roughly how many of the classes an individual is willing to spend any time playing (eg, most yellow stars just have one or two classes they basically refuse to play).

Observed prowess combined with the kind of soulbound gear equipped (exceptions for early/mid ppe’s) are a much better indicator of skill/dedication for me at this point. Not perfect, but better than stars.

The color of the star represents what bag you will get. :slight_smile:

Light Blue: Newcomer
Dark Blue: Entrepreneur
Red Star: Idiot
Orange Star: Decent
Yellow Star: Good
White Star: Realmer

Some will agree with these bold statements and some won’t. But these bold statements have a reason to be. Here I’ve explained it:

Light Blue (0-16 stars): these are the newest players. They’ve just downloaded the game and they’re starting to play realm. Either they’ll like it and progress to a dark blue star, or quit and leave the game. So these are the newcomers (no major controversies here).

Dark Blue (17-33 stars): You’re not a newcomer anymore, you’ve got the hang of the game and your skill is rapidly increasing. This is why I call them “entrepreneurs.” This is when your skill really starts growing. You’ve played a couple of classes and you’re advancing through the game. Maybe you’ve done a raid or two, and you’re starting to learn how to participate in discord raids.

Red Star (34-50): It is well known that red stars are the worst stars in the game. And with good reason. You’re to the point where you know how the game works but you’re not good enough yet to use this to your advantage. You also lack experience. So you either get really cocky and look like an idiot or you remain an idiot. Either way, you’re an idiot.

Orange Star (51-67): You’ve passed the red star. You know what it feels like to be cocky and play the game the wrong way. But those times are gone, you’re on your way to becoming a real realm player. You got a lot more experience and now your skill is increasing to aid you in your path. You’ve probably played every class at least once. You’re now a “decent” player.

Yellow Star (68-84): Both your skill and your experience have increased since you were an orange star. Discord raids and dungeon farming are second nature to you and you master your favorite classes. You probably have more than a few exaltations. You know which classes you like most and you can rebuild super fast with them. You’re a good realm player.

White Star (85): This is it, you’re now a Realmer. You’ve played every class a fair amount of time. You can rebuild from scratch in mere minutes with any class. You have your favorite classes like anyone, but you can play with any class that is given to you. The white star is the most experienced player all-round. Some yellow stars may be better than you in certain classes, but you know all the classes like the back of your hand. You do raids daily and farm your pots. Farming potions are no longer about farming, it’s all about speed. How fast can you farm them?

White Stars have the biggest skill range. From someone who has experienced every class to someone who has every class with some of the best gear in the game. Certainly, there’s no telling what range someone is in, but for a first impression, it is safe to say that they have a ton of experience in the game.

2021 update: More nothing than it was before


Realm Rewind 2021
#768

im white star but based on your analysis i play like a red/orange star


#769

i read this as necromancer


#771

Yeah! Screw Rogue and Paladin.


#772

Rogue is so easy to play.

Unless some idiot warrior decides to rush when ur rushing. I really hate warriors.


#773

I prefer the high risk, constant screaming of rushing with trickster or assassin.


#774

Yeah rogue is just kind of boring to play lol. I main trix.


#775

A star means to me something DECA needs to rework (maybe having to go to 2000 base fame instead of death fame).


#776

Which doesnt take that long either.


#777

Forgot about how gear now gives % exp gain rather than bonus on death. They could just boost the fame requirements for 5 star or something like that.


#778

I just got white star. Please don’t.


#779

return to light blue star >:D


#780

i just want a new rank system, be it new stars, that a white star would be needed for, or something new entirely. Since clearing basically 2 realms and most glands dungeond once gets you (probably around) 2k fame, either theyd need to be based off something else (exalts, total time playing class, something else), or way higher numbers than they are.


#781

I am offended. I like my red star.


#782

IK at least 2 dudes who choose to remain 1 star away from white.

One of them h8s Rogue and another one… simply don’t play Ninja.
