ANSWER HQ RANKS AND UNDERSTANDING

Hey @Huskii96 

Nothing really happens once you reach max Guru rank; These types of levels are mainly for fun and motivation to do nice/helpful things on the website.

Champion and Hero ranks can be given at any point but basically require a team of judges to award them. It usually takes an extreme amount of dedication (both in post/exp count and how frequently you're lurking) to earn those particular ranks though - just keep helping out and maybe you'll get it.

A retired hero is just that - they either stepped down from the role or were inactive for a long period of time etc. etc. If they would like back into the fold they just need to Dm about being reinstated..

Most ranks are kind of laggy can tell you you're already 100% of the way to the next level for a long time but this is usually just a server desync issue - rest assured your true ranks are up to date somewhere.

Hi @Huskii96 ,

Expert is the highest I’ve found so far. I have yet to see a Master or Guru. Maybe they have been recognized by Heroes to become Champions? 

Please see the great posts by @EA_Arcadia on Retired Heroes

Superuser Program - Volunteer Helpers of AHQ

“Even when a superuser decides to leave the boards, their posts will be forever immortalized with a special Retired rank to commemorate their role in the community.”

“A currently inactive Hero or Champion can be recognized by their "retired" title and faded star badge:”

“What happens if I want to leave the program or stop visiting Answers HQ?

If you decide to step away or go inactive, that's a-okay! In these cases we will adjust your rank to an in-active (retired) status, at any point you are welcome to come back and regain your active status by simply dropping a DM to us.”

Ah, that's actually a good question. I've played with a lot of heroes but none of them are retired on the forums so I'm not actually sure. Dice Friend tags are only active for the game you were currently playing at the time and you'd need to re earn it for the next title so I would assume it'd be the same for Heroes - If you were retired by the time the next game rolled around, I think they wouldn't have access until they reacquired their status.

@Huskii96 Hero's are hero's on the AHQ forums, unlike DICE FRIEND tags which are specific to the game. Retired hero's have the option to come back in future as hero's, you need to understand that the title is more than just a title.

It's a way of life so to speak and only the most dedicated and passionate people will reach this. These are people who genuinely want to help and excel the community they're amongst.

The dogtag is simply a nice gesture to show your pride and in the title but it should never be your motivation, we can all be heroes with and without the title. Just by being here with the desire to help doesn't just make you a hero but an absolute legend 🙂

Hey @Huskii96 

As @TTZ_Dipsy no real more lvl after guru, champion and hero were elected by champion and hero and only a deliberation between them allows to be promoted. It is therefore impossible to know when a player will pass hero or champion.

It's really difficult i think to be guru, lvl are more longer to up when you have high lvl, exemple i'm pro lvl5 and i think i do make 1000 to 1500 xp to lvl to expert lvl1, it's more and more higher than previous rank and i'm only pro.

I think the easiest way is to help people and not to pay too much attention to lvl. Respect of forum rules and participation is the key of lvl up. Hero and community manager can confirm that i think. 

Thanks @WindowsManTv_CZE  for the retired status 🙂.

Heyo Everyone.

The Hero, Champion, Hero (retired), and Champion (retired) roles here on Answers HQ have no tie-ins or associations with the Battlefield game or franchise. They represent participants of one of our community programs here on Answers HQ. 

Heroes and Champions are forum participants that have been recognized for their stellar answers and responses here on AHQ, and have been rewarded with these roles and several other privileges to help facilitate their helping of other players. We've recently updated all our information on the program that can be found in the Community Programs hub: https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Information/bd-p/su-public-general-en If you have any further questions about the program there is a FAQ and QnA within that section too.

Outside of the program, I do believe Guru is the highest ranked you can achieve here on AHQ, but again, this has no tie-in to the Battlefield game or Franchise. 

Arcadia.
