      Since the beginning, balancing the level based ranks and prestiges on Infection has always been a challenge. From the old broken prestiges that gave a bow with no arrows to the overpowered ones in 2016 with the sharp 20 bow.

      Assuming donor kits are removed, here is a list of the ranks & prestige perks which would balance the gamemode in the revamp (reply with any suggestions/improvements)

      Iron Sword (Sharpness I, Fire Aspect II)
      Blaze bomb
      Weak Golden Apple

      Hopefully this is a more balanced way to go about the leveling system if ranks are removed and it could work with a shop system as well to get extra perks for humans. Reply with concerns/extra suggestions.

      I feel like this would help infection be more fair by a long run. Good job Robo.

      Support.

      The idea is decent, but i'm personally not a fan of the fire aspect 2 for zombies.

      Thanks for the supports!
      Remember, this idea was made to fit in with the 'shop' system I designed for Infection where humans can also buy upgrades. I believe it will balance out in the long run. What would you suggest as a replacement?

      I agree balancing ranks, I think would get more people, and make it better. I support this post.

      I don't really know what could replace this as i'm not really into the infection reset but i am/was an infection player myself and i personally think fire aspect just wouldn't be fair and is overpowered.

      Another idea that may be better is if we added fire aspect to SgtMaj humans and then gave zombies fire protection on their armour at prestige 8 to counteract it. That way both humans & zombies have more perks.
