Read into this as much as you will. I am a Level Designer and had nothing to do with the rank cap nor do I know why it is at 50 and not 20 or 7000. So just to get your facts right: there is no theory confirmed here since I would even be able to confirm it if I wanted to. Neither does any of what I said bring information to the topic if the rank limit will be raised. For that you need to screenshot conversations from other people.
I don't get Matt Wagner's point. Unlocks and high level cap aren't mutually exclusive. If they felt casuals needed catching up, then pool the unlocks at lower ranks. I don't recall unlocking anything after colonel in BF3 and captain in BF4. Bf1 guns were unlocked by warbonds so ranks never mattered.
Absolutely. Sadly this is only a small snippet of a bigger conversation. I was mainly talking about BF3/4 unlocks and not at all about ranks. Danny turned the conversation towards ranks.
Also as stated before, this is mainly my personal opinion. I have nothing to do with any type of progression (unlocks or ranks) in the game. I know as much about them as you.
Just to chime in here, the level cap is something that we are actively discussing.
Just find it hard to be believe it's something that has to be discussed, and a decision hasn't already been made.
Not to say that something hasn't been decided, but before anything can happen we need to do the appropriate scoping and all that type of stuff. Where could we fit it into the schedule, who can we get to work on it, if we move people onto it now, what does that affect etc
Lots of lines moving in parallel and jumping between them can often have knock-ons.
