Experience Cap

I didn’t see it mentioned in the “Progression Systems” (sub-section of “WAR GAMES INFO AND SYSTEMS”, in the sticky “All you need to know about Halo 4”), so I figured I’d ask and see if they’ve ever released info on this.

Is there an experience cap per-day, like credits in halo Reach?

Unfortunately yes.

Any info on how much XP you can get a day before the cap?

I can’t say I’m unhappy to see there is one.

Are experience caps good idea? I’m not sure. I dislike the idea of restricting a player’s use of the game. In Halo 2-3, there was no such thing.

i dont see why its a bad thing per-se it helps cut down on modding… kindof.
i mean if youre playing 18 hours a day maybe it would be a little detrimental, but the overwhelming majority of players will never see this message.

It was stupid in Reach. You could get 200,000 credits a day, and that’s it. Especially since there are no skill-based ranks, there isn’t much point at all to play after you’re capped.

XP caps do kinda suck. I mean for those who have the time to play, why should they be punished?

I remember this with Reach. Though they did uncap it at one point to allow for all that built up XP to be added. I SHOT up through the ranks then.

So hopefully, this will be the case if there is a cap. I think it’s just silly to have a cap in the first place. Maybe that’s just me though.

It won’t stop me from playing of course.

Seriously? I really hope the dew xp, isn’t factored in to the daily cap, because i REALLY don’t want to hit the cap twice as fast >______>

Also if your capped does your amount of double exp games you have still go down when you play a game and earn no exp?

Yay…
This thing is back.

Why should they cap people who want to play? Especially considering I have friends in Reach that earn 10-20k per match, so they can only play around 10 games a day before being capped.
I haven’t seen any custom challenges, so that means it will be more difficult to farm them for xp. I don’t see the point in this.

I REALLY hope that the dewxp isn’t factored into this, and doesn’t count to the cap. And If and WHEN i DO hit the cap my games of dew xp don’t continue to go down when i play and earn no exp…

The comments on that picture on Reddit say that he hit the cap in about 8 hours, so if the dew xp isn’t factored in ill be very disappointed when i hit the cap in 4 hours >_>

Anyone against this is either gonna try their hardest to boost OR plans on playing 24/7. I could care less cause I know I’m not going to hit the limit.

I am in no way trying to boost, i didn’t pay for 200 games of dew xp to get ranked cap in a mere few hours. I’m taking the entire week off school/work to sit at home and play halo all day. So that means i will be punished for wanting to play 24/7 for 7 days straight?

inb4 kids that will flame me for my love of halo and wanting to be as high ranked as i can be asap.

Why would I not play the game a lot the first couple weeks? It’s a new title that I have been looking forward to for over a year.

Maybe its 343i’s subtle way of saying we should get outside and bathe in some sunshine…

> Yay…Reach that earn 10-20k per match, so they can only play around 10 games a day before being capped.

10 matches per day is nothing when a game is brand new. I really hope these caps are more generous.

IMO, trusted members, should not get caps period, especially when there is no sign of cheating ever. I think again, we have this because of boosters in the past and 343 want to punish us all rather than target the individuals.

Exp cap? #preordercanceled But seriously, what about the dew exp and my questions as listed as above?

To be honest, If the dewxp isn’t included then that really is -Yoink-.

That would mean Americans not only rank up twice as fast, it means they can earn twice as much exp per day than anyone else.

This is all just so irritating. Lift the cap and punish the boosters, not the loyal fans who want to play the game.

Hmmm it seems pointless. Whilst I think we rank up far too fast in Halo 4, restricting gameplay with a cap isn’t the answer.
