Seeing that the topic has changed slightly, I believe that I will most likely remain as a legendary. I can't say that with certainty, since I haven't done anything super significant or outstanding, but my season 1 and season 2 stats were both significantly worse than the current state of my nation. I guess it depends on what changes may be made in determining rarity for next season, and the weight issue writing/stats holds over rarity.

Huh, how things change. 47ish badges (28 gold), 2 SC resolutions, another issue authorship, top 10 DV buff, and a condemnation should be enough for a shiny yellow border if there was ever any uncertainty :P

I'll certainly be impressed when you have 22 gold badges, twelve issue authorships, and two commendations/condemnations. :p

TBH, I don't want to be LEUR. I just want to be rare. I'm starting to like that blue color.

Semi related, have there been any updates on when S3 will start? I managed to miss being included in S1 and S2, really want to make sure I'm here for S3.

There's no official word, that I'm aware of, but if season 3 happens, I suspect that snapshot will be mid-late november and the actual season will begin towards the end of november or beginning of december.

I’m pretty much a guaranteed epic, considering I was UR with considerably worse stats and 8 less authorship badges... but I’m hoping to get across the line and into Legendary :)

I think you can make it to UC, since some people make it to UC with a few top 5% badges alone.

I’d say you’re at least epic, not guaranteed epic ;)

I’m hoping to reach rare, but I’m not sure if a GA resolution would get me there. Anyway, I don’t mind the color green. I just think blue would be better. Even better would be yellow, but that’d be very unrealistic for me.

If the snapshot were today and the percentages were the same from the last go round, we'd have 44 more legends (53 new ones), 450ish more epics, over 1,300 more URs...Experience looking at cards doesn't help too much at the moment. It might be reasonable for me to be casually optimistic about having enough stats to make legend by the end of this year. I also really hope that I'll be able to add Sylh Alanor into the S3 UR collection :blush:

At least it looks like whatever people thought about their rarity before, they might end up being surprised in a good way by the end. Thanks weird Reddit/YouTube explosion.


Curious if there are other old-timers like myself who have hard-to-get badges and weren't in S1 or S2. 8)

I’ve got a Founder badge and Beverage Sales. What could be my rarity in S3? I’m asking because I don’t have a card.

I'm guessing he's responding to the question posed in the title, as just about everyone in this thread is.

There are a lot of factors which go into determining what your card will be badges are only a part of it, but if you were a season 2 card you'd be Rare like this card, so assuming that the calculations don't change too much, or the non-badge factors don't push you one way or another, then yeah, I'd say you'd probably be rare.

I truly do not know. I expect Rare or Ultra Rare, given I was Rare S1 and am Ultra Rare for S2. I don't tend to answer issues, but have one more gold badge and have gained six different 5% and 10% places besides.

I have also been Condemned since S2 came out, which may keep my card from regressing to a Rare. I am hardly any sort of expert on what influences these cards, so my speculation is entirely based off of guesswork.

From what I can tell being commended/condemned automatically boosts your card up to ultra rare, since there are no commended or condemned nations who have a value below that level, so I think you'll be at least UR. I'd wager you'll see your card go up to epic, at least, since you have a hefty chunk of influence to go along with your condemnation.

Regarding the thread's question, I really don't know; I guess 'Common' since I wasn't active when seasons 1 and 2 took place, and I don't have too many badges.

But that isn't of my interest. What really moves me is the aesthetic quality of flags/cards, no matter the card's rarity. I hope the next season will have new designs, or improved ones. :P
