Re Up, The way it should be

[Predalian5]

Now, Personally. I think the Re ups were... Well... You see...
They were okay.
and now, You can... Make them even better

Example. Instead of limiting yourself like last time.
Do it before Launch.

Here are what we Could have.

Default
Bronze
Silver
Gold
and Onyx <-(Highlight this :s)

This time I would advise making Gold and Bronze more... Noticeable in their differences.

Or Masteralex09's way?



No, it should be

Green
Red
Blue
Bronze
Silver
Gold
Onyx

[P. Carmine]

Strongly agreed. When I first heard of re-up I though that this is how the system would work.

[Masteralex09]

No, it should be
Default
Green
Red
Blue
Bronze
Silver
Gold
Onyx

[III HOOP III]

yes. Im lvl 400 and my wings look almost the same color as my buddy who is 100.

[LoD FENIX]

No, it should be
Default
Green
Red
Blue
Bronze
Silver
Gold
Onyx

This would be great to add tons of longevity to the game but with the amount of people who actually Re-Upped in Gears 3 I don't see Epic adding so many levels.

Make it harder to reach 100 (or what ever the top level is). More XP needed and 3 Re-Up's will look good. The last one should definitely be Onyx though.

[SQuirrel147]

Or they could just make the one set of wings. But make them take a year. Like in Gears 2.

[Untitled One]

Yes, that's how it always should be honestly.

[TH3 ZomBifiieD]

White numbers with Bronze Wings

Re-up 1 Silver numbers with Golden Wings

Re-up 2 Gold numbers with Onyx Wings with Golden Outline

But make leveling take a bit longer to accomplish. Somewhere close to how it was in Gears 2. Also make re-uping remove your characters and Unlocks to be re unlocked again as you progress, and anything not unlocked that you formerly accomplished before re-uping will be available as you attain your next pair of wings.

Only add Onyx Weapon Skins after the player has maxed their level out in re-up 2.

Same thing for Bronze and Silver Weapon Skins, but each unlocked at their respective wings attainment. (Makes Reuping more exciting but you temporarily lose characters and other bonuses. Makes it a real choice for gamers, especially if the time to level is at Gears 2 level.

Just tossing ideas around at 1:00 AM before bed i liked the two suggestions before me quite a bit aswell. :cool:

[ClearlyBalkan]

No, it should be
Default
Green
Red
Blue
Bronze
Silver
Gold
Onyx

This would be awesome. One would need 6 months to reach God like Onyx levels.

[fsanta]

Maybe instead of more re-ups you could increase the required xp to lv up

^This. Level 100 on Gears 3 was far too easy.

if the re-up is like that then i be stopping at blue wings like it should be in gears 3 instead of getting gold wings with blue numbers

[TAO Devil]

They didn't "limit" themselves, they were stuck with what was there because the Re-Up wasn't even planned.

[Masteralex09]

They didn't "limit" themselves, they were stuck with what was there because the Re-Up wasn't even planned.

They saw how quick people were getting to lvl 100 in gears 3 so they added 3 prestiges for the players who made it to 100.

Also, thanks for the positive feedback on my re-up system, though leveling up should be slightly longer than gears 3, while having all the re-ups in my post.

[Predalian5]

That's what I meant. they were limited. Not intentionally

[TrueCore]

Why only change the color? There are more ways integrate Re-Ups.

[Dan Ace X]

I despise CoD, but the one thing I like is their Prestige system. I'd like to see different symbols for each re-up, with only the max re-up being wings.

[Valafar123]

Ugh, I hate it when people use white font. Always end up having to highlight everything. -.-

I prefer GoW2's level system. It should take a LOT of XP to get to level 100 and XP should be scarce. No re-ups.

It shouldn't be as hard as GoW 2, but harder than GoW 3. Also the new forum skin is blackish, so if you are using the old skin then the text may appear different. I mean what colour am I using? On my screen it is somewhat white.

My post background is completely white. I wouldn't want it to be different TBH. :/

Lol, I am going to post in white now :p.

Now I don't have to read your posts. ;)

You won't know what you're missing:p.

Looks like we got a battle of the 123s

I hated the Gears 2 ranking system for this very reason. It would feel like an eternity between a rank-up especially near the end. I was a 40 something after playing Gears 2 with the original 1X's and 2X's multipliers. Used just on weekend event to finally crack 50 ( it was the Boomers Horde event). Then stopped and started, and could not care less about rank, as I doubted I would ever hit 100. It became just to daunting. One of the reasons I put the game down was the feeling I was making no progress.

You shouldn't play a game just to rank up. You should play it to have fun. I have 65+ million EXP in Gears 2 right now. It's about the fun of the game, not the ranking system.

[A CANADIAN]

I love the gold. Gold rules. I finally hit red. First game I got to level 6 or 8. Love how quick it is early on. Hoping to pass a friend who is level 80. I think I am 16 or so right now.

[Sierra10433]

I would say go like this:
1-99
Wings
Re-Up 1
Wings RU1
Re-Up 2
Wings RU2
Re-Up 3
Wings RU3
Re-Up 4
Wings RU4
Re-Up 5
Wings RU5

In case you can't see that last one, it's an Onyx color lol

I see two main points here: Quite a few Re-Ups, or take a long time to level up. What's wrong with both? Gears 2 took forever to rank up, Gears 3 was actually quite quick to reach the top rank. So why not hit that medium and give the game more re-ups? Then you can accomplish giving people those colored ranks and wings to remove the mundane white numbers followed by gold wings. Adds variety. But at the same time you make sure the re-ups aren't the only things making the ranks seem like they take time.

I hate to do it, but I have to compare it to CoD. With that series, it's gotten to the point where people are Prestige-ing (same as Re-Up) by the end of the first week after release. Granted Gears is a hell of a lot harder than that, the point is the same. Don't make the way to lengthen the game installing ways for people to restart their rank and do it all over again, but it's not a bad idea either.

TL;DR - DO ALL OF THE THINGS

[Terra D Serph]

^This. Level 100 on Gears 3 was far too easy.

Yeah, but for those of us who are...idk, in college, have a job, or just have higher priorities and can't commit to playing all day every day, it's just going to be annoying. I'm glad that we can get to level 100 easily-ish now. I play about average, and I think I'm only green 83. I honestly don't want to devote an entire year to just getting to 100, when I play literally about 20 other games(not all at the same time). Other people want to play other games too. There's a completion feel when you get to 100. Seriously 3.0 aside, I felt accomplished when I got to 100.

I hope it's not like Gears 2. Maybe make it take a little longer, but otherwise, it's not worth it to have people feel unaccomplished in their goals just to please the hardcore base over such a small thing, and they've already got a lot going for them.

[BLACKxRaiden]

^yes finally someone who knows what there talking about

[III HOOP III]

Gears 3 ranks too easy. People are just leaving their xboxes on while they sleep and ranking up!!

[III HOOP III]

You shouldn't play a game just to rank up. You should play it to have fun. I have 65+ million EXP in Gears 2 right now. It's about the fun of the game, not the ranking system.

This. Play for the fun and enjoyment. Not to make rank.

[SHMEEDIDDY]

Gears 2 Ranking was 7.6 Million XP for lvl 100, Gears 3 is half that at 3.8 Million XP for standard lvl 100 making a total for lvl 400 (GOLD wings) 15.2 Million XP. Either increase the XP for judgment by 1.7 Million for a total 5.5 Million XP for default lvl 100 in Judgment and have at least 3-4 Re-ups, 16.5-22 Million XP in total for Re-upping to the Max Level, thus making it alot Longer to Aquire to play much more for hardcore Gear Heads!

But to be fair is hitting 100 that important? If you are in school or at a job you shouldn't really be worrying about "I gotta hit level 100 in Gears AND do my term paper". Most people that you described don't play Gears for rank anyway, let them level up at what ever speed they have fun with and let the hardcore enjoy the accomplishment of hitting 100.

Gears 2 was to much XP yes, but a happy medium that is more then Gears 3 100 would make special when you get it.

[omfghowfake]

I would only be up for it if they give us more stuff when we do it. Better things than just a new color and a weapons skin.

Yeah like in horde you get "I'm Rich *****" medal without the Facebook way you unlock Griffin, should tie that in Judgment, reach a certain level with "x" amount of Kills with "x" weapon to get a character and a skin or 2!

[stunkcajyzarc]

re-up should dissapear, i like a more halo reach appreach. numbers 1-100 then symbols. make it very long to get to each level.

[DaRkNeSs]

I don't want re-ups in GoWJ. I love my red number but please - just make wings hard to get like GoW2
