Medal Unlock Tokens

[DEADMAN7978]

Follow me on this one... Assuming the medal system makes it into Judgment as it is now, there are 65 that you can unlock by playing the game. That being said what if you recieved medal unlock tokens for getting a certain number of those onyx'd.

Say I onyx my sawed off, gnasher, lancer, hammerburst and retro-lancer. By doing so you get a token that you may use or collect, then chose to use at your leasure, to unlock a medal you can't be bothered with or just plain have trouble completing.

For every 5 medals you onyx you get 1 token. Allowing you to get a maximum of 13 tokens, leaving you with 52 medals you still need to complete to achieve Seriously 4.0.

Lord knows there are several medals I'd use a token for. I think it would help in several ways and add to the replay of the game by decreasing the overall hopeless feel of getting Seriously.

P.s.- I got this idea after looking at Predalian5's Pre-order Bonus thread. Took an idea and expanded on it that was progressive and didn't seem to be getting feedback.

I like that idea, but I'd prefer S4.0 to be based around kills and some medals

[DEADMAN7978]

I like the intention of 3.0 as well but they went overboard with its requirements turning a fun challenge into some warped monster. This I think would bring a bit of sanity to the equation.

Yeah I like the idea of getting medals but with lower numbers or tokens as you say. I'd spend my tokens on the game mode medals ^o^

Wingman, Sawed Off kills, Heavy Weapons kills, Vengeful, Doorman, Pistol kills, Arcade chapters played, Last man out, Buttoned up, Wins as leader, Headshots, Old Schooler, Leader rescues.... Probably in that order too. There are others that bother me too, but off the top of my head those suck harder.

Really? Because 3000 games is going to take at least 6000 minutes (2 mins a game). Whereas you can Onyx Sawed-Off kills, Doorman, Pistol Kills, Heavy Weapons in about 7-8 hours each (except doorman which is about 1hr)

[DEADMAN7978]

Yeah, I just don't have that kinda time. I know button mashing a paino may sound easy to most, or smashing bots in king of the hill with a sawed off/pistols/heavy weapons.... I have kids. I realize 3.0 isn't something for me... as much as it sucks because I'm a huge fan, I've come to grips with it.

[Theron Baird]

Tbh I don't see the reason to have a medal if you can unlock it for free.
Even thou I agree some medals requirements are insane, or stupid and should probably never ever be in a game again.

[Dead Cell Raam]

While its a noble idea and I can see where you're coming from, this sounds like an issue of lowering the medal requirements. If anything, the more medals you unlock could earn you a trade in unlocking a character or a weapon skin.

[IsmaR]

I still have my doubts S4.0 even exists, let alone if its unlocking criteria are that similar to 3's. Wouldn't mind grinding out a few things again, personally.

If nothing else, I hope for something going above and beyond boosting medals, kills, or even any other Seriously up until this point.

A Gears game without a "Seriously" achievement is like a Gears game without a Carmine. It's become a tradition and I'd hate EPIC to break it :(

[Predalian5]

YOU STOLE MY IDEA!!!

Why?....

[DEADMAN7978]

If you are serious:

I gave YOU credit in the OP.
I gave further thought and input about YOUR idea.
I looked in your thread and read the entire thread... 1 person commented on it.
I liked your idea enough to create a thread about it, again citing YOU.

If you're not serious:

Way to go.

Was a Joke. My bad if I seemed like I was serious.
I liked your idea. You expanded it and made it something more.

[Untitled One]

Really neat idea. There's some medals that are hard to get. Still, doubt EPIC would consider that if the medal are coming back.

Good show. You never can tell these days.

I thought so too.

[tootybananas]

I would say no,That just encourages ppl to go for easy medals so they could get a token to unlock a hard medal.
Also if there is a seriously medal would that be unlock-able through use of a token?
I'd rather they just not make medals so ridiculous to get(if they have medals).

[ClearlyBalkan]

Due to fact that I only have 76 kills with sawed-off ( Damn Proud ! :cool: ) in GOW3, that token would come very useful.

[TrueCore]

No, I don't like the idea. Giving you a medal you didn't get by doing what it wants you to do? That makes a medal system completly useless. Epic should create medals you can get with skill and playing a lot, but not with boosting, because they are so stupid. That's a solution, not making stupid medals and than giving you a token to avoid those stupid medals.

I made a thread about this >:3
