Daily Credits Limit

Games Other Halo
1

Hello everybody!

I’m Rafael from Brazil and I’m here to try to express myself with some ideas about Halo Reach daily limit of credits.

Well, I’m Mythic and now it’s very common for me to reach the daily limit of CRs. Before I became Field Marchal it was almost impossible to reach it, but after that, some days I’m forced to stop coz I got the limitation. Some people told me some ideas how to ‘cheat’ this limit but I won’t do something that’s not allowed on rules.

On the other hands, I know that rules were made for some reason and a rule must be followed. Could be something to try to avoid hardcore players to get a fast evolution or something to avoid people to spend whole day playing, the famous “get a life”. But I’d like to share some ideas of details on that rule what I think they are not too fair.

Simple… (my own opinion)

- Jackpots are bonus for lucky players, right ? They must be OUT of the sum of the daily limit.

- Credits award in daily and weekly challenges are the same idea, they are a BONUS for who decided to accept the challenge and got it, it’s a prize, it cant be part of the limit.

  • Limit of credits of Commendations are ok, Credits of games are ok too.

The problem is: We cant see the sum of the limit, sometimes we are near to complete a challenge, a weekly exemple, we will lost credits of the challenge on the limit.

Someone completed the weekly challenge of 30k credits, but becouse of limit the person will earn just 5k of it… it’s not fair!

I don’t know if I’m posting this in the right place, I’m here to try to share an idea with 343/bungie and discuss the ideas with other players. If it’s not the right place, someone could show me the right way plz ?

Tks 4 att.

Same here. I wish u guys could do some changes about that.

If you don’t wanna change that’s ok for me… but I wish I could know when I am about to reach my limits. Why don’t u guys create a credit limits indicator or something like that?

I don’t cheat and go changing my clock just to earn my credits. I wanna play by the rules. Could you please even consider Seid sugestions, please?

I hit it last night and just kept playing. Sure, I recieved 0 cR at the end of matches but I wanted to keep playing… So I did.

I like the idea of having challenges not count towards the credit limit, but I’d like to see custom challenges still have an affect towards the limit. If not, you’d have people consistently creating challenges to earn tons of credits with no limit on how many they can earn.

I agree, rewards and jackpots shouldn’t be counted. Perhapes for Hero’s and up they should increase the limit to 200,000?

5

I’d be nice if there was a area in the Reach Menu that shows us how much more credits we can get that day before our limit is reached.

For example, I finished the Weekly last week that was like 23,043 credits. When I got it, I only received a little over five-thousand and got the your daily credit limit was reached notification. 18k credits down the drain.

I agree wiht all of it. Im a forerunner and am so sick of hitting the cap only after a few hours and losing credits for challenges etc coz I get them as I hit the cap.

I agree I can see why there was a credit limit of 60k or so and now 120k but that was the past. Most dedicated players that play a lot can earn this in no time. 200k would be reasonable for people and would stop complaining but I do not even know why a credit limit even exists in this game anymore seeing how there is not one in any other game.

8

I don’t think there should be a daily credit limit. If someone wants to play the game for 24 hours straight, why demotivate them by reducing the amount of credits they earn?

9

Agreed. I also think there shouldn’t be a credit limit for Inheritors because, well, what’s the point?

I’d like to thank you all for the replies!

Keep playing with no Credits, it’s ok, completly possible and normal, but one day I got 4 dailys and the weekly, it was something around 42k credits just with bonus, after that, my friends came online to play with me, I played some games with no credits, we won, I did it well, lots of nice medals, but my motivation was low coz i was thinking “damn weekly, I’ve lost more than 30k here playing with my friends”.

The point is…

Jackpot of 6k = 2 big team battles less in a day
4 dailys = 5 nice games less in a day
weekly = I have to control it to reach that in a day when I wont play too much.

This is a cruel limitation.

Sometimes hardcore players must play a game praying to not earn a jackpot or worst. It’s not cool!

I didn’t even know there was a credit limit!
Is it a daily, weekly or monthly thing?

I came on today played 2 games, went to pick my son up from school came back played 2 more games and received the credit limit reached message, strangely though i received a couple or 3 k credits for the game.
Lucky i did because it would have been the final straw as i was alone against a team of 4, survived until the end and actually won. I would have been really annoyed if i received nothing for sticking it out alone.

In fact i can’t actually understand why there is a limit, i mean, i payed for my xbox (3rd) i payed for the game, i pay for my xbox live and believe i have the right to play as long as like and as often as i like without being dictated too and told that i can’t do what i want, when i want with my own hard earned cash, and that because some dictator has decided otherwise.

So what if someone wants to play all day and up their grade, what difference does it make to MS. I mean will you loose sleep because someone is playing a game all day?

I am sorry to say this but i honestly believe that Halo (or the stupid god attitude behind the scenes) could actually be the death of the Xbox.
The idea is to make money not just take it and run and say screw the community.

We are paying you to dictate to us, something isn’t right there!!!

The worst thing of all is that i actually adore the game, i play only reach as an FPS, in fact i can’t get enough of it. But the attitude you guys have is seriously screwing up the games reputation.
How long do you think it will be before the word spreads around the world that you apply a dictating attitude for a game, YES ITS JUST A GAME? It’s supposed to be fun, not stressing.

My friends and i talk and i am obviously not the only one who can’t understand your attitude or why the game is getting worse everyday, for the last few months that is.

Whats with the automatic zoom on the shotgun when you fire.
Or strange screen freeze just when your about to kill someone and you comeback dead, sounds like cheating to me. And talk about uneven matchmaking
People here are even saying that they think you are actually bridling accounts.

While I agree that the credit limit system does have its limitations, its purpose is simply to limit credit boosters without having to actively monitor every individual player.

It works and IMO if you’re hitting it daily, you must be dedicating your life to the game. Credits are not the be all and end all of the game.

I like the ideas in the OP to do with challenges not counting towards the limit, but that said, it would be important not keep tracks on the custom challenges as this would most definitely be abused.

13

i have a question not about credits ,but for halo waypoint my sparten never changes with my armor in halo reach I m using GUNGNIR helmet ( the best helmet)but my armor stills the same like recuit it never changes. in bungie.net yes there it changes. can someone explain pleas .

14

dont stop! just play for fun, not for credits, is much better not caring for ranks than caring a lot and making it the only thing that makes you play the game

15

The only thing why I must rank up is to get new armor thats the only thing that i like in halo reach is armor.

> It works and IMO if you’re hitting it daily, you must be dedicating your life to the game. Credits are not the be all and end all of the game.

Well, I’m not addicted actualy, I’m 31, I wake up at 9am … play until lunch and work whole afternoon. I will play again at night and I’m reaching the limit.

The problem is “Time Value”

15 min playing as a Recruit = 100 Cr (exemple)
15 min playing as a Mythic = 1000 Cr (exemple)

You are a high rank case, you reach the limit much easier.

> dont stop! just play for fun, not for credits, is much better not caring for ranks than caring a lot and making it the only thing that makes you play the game

I know, you’re right m8 … but ppl have different motivations. You can work to live a good life or you can work hard to buy a Ferrari, depends of the each one and their goals.

I like Halo, it’s one of my entertainments… but I like evolution, I enjoy my commendations, a new rank… not to be the best, just to check my own goals!

My idea is not to cancel the limit, my idea is to treat the bonus credits as bonus credits, just it!

Like i said, i played 2 games went out and came back and played 2 more, i don’t think 4 games is dedicating your life to it. In fact my work within the justice system prevents me from being completly addicted because i am constantly in and out of the police station and court house. Which in turn leaves me the time to play on the days when i am not required.
We (my son) have MW2, black-ops, call of duty 4 and world at war, brink and i think i tried one of them once for about ten minutes. I don’t like them at all, i only play reach. So if i have only one fps game amongst the multitude that i find good enough to play, then i want to play and as often as i like.

Saying that i agree with you in so much that its a good thing to prevent credit boosters.
My screaming and shouting is based on the principal. I believe have the right to do what i wish with my cash. I can’t see any valid reason as to why i/we should be restrained.
If the armor is there to be gained through credits, then why limit the game. Its a contradiction of terms! Adding external rules to a game that has already its rules ingame is completly over the top.
If someone is noticably boosting or cheating then block their accounts and not punish people who play for fun.
Even then, so what if people are credit boosting, they only look like an idiot when they can’t actually play and loose because they have an undeserved rank and useless gameplay!

The easy way out of this is to completly remove the credit system and give direct access to all the armor, lets face it the armour does nothing to better the characters ability, and there is no even matching for peoples levels, so in fact the whole credit system is a waste of time. Restricting the game based on something that has no ingame value or benefit is a complete joke and an abuse of power.
Either that go back to the way Halo 3 matchmaking was used. It was a lot better and you knew you where matched against people of a more or less even level.
It makes you think that reach was a rush job release

This is a new system and could be not completed yet.

343 is implanting all new stuff, plz, just be patient

Seriously. All the cheaters have moved on to newer games.
Please stop punishing your hardcore, dedicated fans and remove the cRedit limit.

The credit limit stays the same but the higher we “rank” up, the quicker we hit the credit limit.
Do you really want to kill what’s left of the population still playing this game?

I’m going to hit the weekly tonight and I’ll be kinda bummed if it doesn’t count AGAIN this week.
