Honey Rank (Hive+++) A Civil Megapost Discussion

This is intended to be a serious conversation about this potential rank. With how many Ultimates have been running around the server, I could see the Hive owners being interested in adding another rank. Pricing will be similar to HU, it’ll cost $10 for HU players, $20 for Hive+ players, and $30 for those without a rank.

Here’s my ideas for the perks:

  • 100% XP boost in every game.
  • Maximum people in a party increased to 8.
  • Exclusive costume, pet, mount, blackbling, hats, hub titles, and a win celebration.

Pet: Honey bear
Think of it like a little bear cub that’s like a hive-style gummy bear, but made out of honey instead. It would wear a red cap on it’s head with a little cone used to squirt honey when squeezed, you know the ones. An animation could be some honey being squirted out from the cap, and it being a little embarrassed, but in a cute way. Somebody who knows how to make this stuff would be greatly appreciated.

  • An orange name tag with [Hny] tag. I couldn’t get it to work with a space and brackets but you get the idea.

  • Ability to join ongoing cs games as a team member of a color or solo if allowed by the creator in cs settings.
  • Replays can be favorited and those that are are never deleted. Up to 10.
  • Able to complete all 12 daily quests from questmaster.
  • Reroll one of the 30 qp options once/day. Cannot be used to complete 13 instead of 12 quests.
  • 350 friend slots. I don’t think there’s a good reason to give players like 500 friend slots. Because realistically speaking, who has 450-500 actual friends they’ll play with on a regular basis?
  • Daily or bi-daily booster. If a player is willing to drop $30 on a server, they’re probably in it for the long haul. They must log into the server to receive the booster.

Please comment any suggested changes or improvements below, let’s have some fun as a community! Ideas that the community mostly agrees with will be added.

May we please give Ultimate some time to shine before we even start discussing another rank? We should be satisfied with Ultimate and perhaps consider another rank after a year or so.

True, but why not? It doesn’t hurt to put the idea out there, and I’m not waiting a year to do it.

It seems ungrateful and also unnecessary. Hive won’t add this for at least a few month probably more than a year. I think it would be better to suggest changes to Hive Ultimate and juts enjoy that.

I’m not going delete this after I spent 2 hours writing and formatting it. Just ignore it for 6 months if it being too close to the release of Hive Ultimate is a deal breaker for you. And based on the amount of Ultimates I’ve seen in-game, I think players have shown their gratituity towards the Hive for this rank. I don’t expect them to add this next week either. I know this’ll likely take months, years, or maybe never happen, and I’m okay with that.

I’m not asking you to delete it, don’t worry. I’m just giving my own opinion on the subject. I completely hear you. Just be warning: you’re certainly how seeing a Hive+++ for a long time.

Then no problems here.

There is no reason to add a new rank just after we got hive U

I hate to say it You people are so ungrateful that we have hive U!

Please stop talking about this and talk about the topic

I am taking about the topic!

We appreciate your interest and enthusiasm regarding Hive premium ranks.

Given that the Ultimate rank was released very recently, and considering the significant gap between the introduction of Hive+ and Ultimate, we can confirm that there are currently no plans to add another premium rank in the foreseeable future.

While we appreciate community feedback, it’s clear that repeated threads suggesting a new rank have not led to constructive discussion and have often resulted in unproductive debate.

As such, we will be closing any future threads focused solely on requesting new premium ranks for the time being.
