The total exp it requires to reach SR-130 is between 3.5M - 4M. The daily limit is around 150,000 exp. That’s a total of 23 - 27 days to reach SR-130.
It was a poor choice on 343i’s part to make the level cap reachable in less than a month. It would’ve been better to make leveling more difficult or include intermissions (10 levels) in between each specialization that would take more total exp to complete each time. If there was intermissions in between each specialization, the level cap would’ve been raise to 200 which is a lot better number.
I’ll definitely reach SR-130 by the end of December so if there’s no max level increase in the next map pack I’ll be done playing H4 until the ranking system comes out. By the end of December I will also have completed nearly all the commendations as well.
I really don’t mind the SR rank as long as the game play is good and fun but so far the only thing keeping some people playing is the SR rank because the game right now is extremely dull. Once people reach 130 they might realize this game isn’t as good as it was set out to be considering the true skill rank is on Waypoint only.
Yeah, when you have to unlock all this crap through Rank and Commendations, I really don’t care. I almost would like it to be faster.
I absolutely Hated Reach more than any game in the world because after TWO YEARS I still hadn’t gotten half the armors I wanted because they were stupidly RANK BASED.
Although the ranking system is easy to max out and far too quick honestly they need to focus on fixing the game rather then the ranks.
I would have preferred the ranking system to take at least 3-5 months rather then a month. No Reach system thanks, although i maxed it out a year in, it was painful and the commendations sucked after you got them to silver/gold in most cases. Far too high were the numbers.
However…
From 500,000 in multiplayer each day for the first few days to a mere 100,000 - 200,000 now. A lot of people have left and their silence is only killing the population. Some playlists now are in the low thousands. There are huge problems and this is only one on a mountain of things for them to fix.
