Time to RE-UP: all the colours of the rainbow

**ultimatebodge** · 08-09-2012, 11:49 AM

i like the idea of the numbers in the emblem and then it becoming a star

**Spitfire MLG** · 08-09-2012, 11:50 AM

I like BlueDodger's suggestion. But I would rather just have 1-100 with no re-ups. Rank 100 would be more prestigious if they made it like GoW2.

**Ratman Fi** · 08-09-2012, 12:48 PM

I prefer the regular 1-100 lvl style, like in G2.

**Artiodactyl** · 08-11-2012, 03:59 PM

A lot of people are saying they like the old lvl 100 system, but the modified gow3 re-up systems seem to have gotten the most votes. Interesting.

**BlueDodger** · 08-11-2012, 04:30 PM

Call me crazy, but what if Judgment had the (sorry about comparing, but it's best to give an example) post-patch Halo 3 ranking? Where each gametype had its own ranking?

For Versus, Horde and Overrun.

It could work with a reasonable Seriously 4.0 (Reach level 100 in all gametypes)

So you could be a level 100 in Warzone, Guardian, Horde, but only a level 4 in KotH.

And once you hit level 100 in all the gametypes you would get a special level 100 symbol (maybe Onyx wings instead of the Bronze/Gold wings you would get if you hit 100 in 1 gametype)

I would hate having to play Exe in order to show off my Rank. It would also be far too difficult to actually get level 100 in all game modes. Good idea, but 10 times harder than Seriously 3.0.

Are you sure? I'm pretty sure I can hit go through 1-100 in any gametype before I play 3000 matches like you have to do for 3.0

This is much easier since you can play how you want in the gametypes (no weapon requirements, etc...)

Lol, I hate the idea of playing 3000 in each game type as well. I don't like having to play a certain game type so much to get an achievement. I think S 4.0 should go back to kills.

**MIST GHILLIE** · 08-11-2012, 07:00 PM

I cant really see the re up system affecting me to much, I might live to see 1 but that depends on how long rank 100 takes.Anyway I am going to say that I hope the requirements are reasonable and non forcing you to play as certain characters for seroiusly 4.0. I really hope its not a you have to boost or devote your every hour to the game.

**KILL3R II UK** · 08-11-2012, 08:23 PM

It's not a massive issue, but if it's just numbers again I will be disappointed, most other games have icons and stuff, I'd love to see some Gears style, COG rank slides

**Viewing the hue** · 08-11-2012, 10:47 PM

No I would prefer it to just be harder to get to level 100 then re-up over and over.

**Sly Reflex** · 08-11-2012, 11:26 PM

A suggestion. You know how it takes 1000xp to go from rank 1 to 2 no matter what re-up you are? Well how about making it so that going from rank 99 to 100 jumps from 92,000 to 93,000 as it does now, then when you re-up instead of going back down to only having to get 1000xp, 1 to 2 takes 95,000 and increases with every level throughout all re-ups. That way you have the ease of getting to 100 easily, but after that it gets a proper hike, just like GoW2 was.

Also, I think wings should be the last re-up. I'd rather they fill the other level 100 positions with ranks within the Gears universe. A bit like Halo has the standard army ranks, and then it goes into the lore of the universe and has specific ones for each rank.

Or, you could use the same method now but put a battlefield spin on it. Once you get the last wings (presumably onyx) the star gets replaced by a 2 when you have reached 2x the XP required, and 3 and 4 and 5 and so on when they hit that numbers respective milestone.

Just suggestions, I'm not saying any of them are great ideas. Ranks in the grand scheme of things mean nothing.

**JMysterial** · 08-11-2012, 11:36 PM

Yeah, that would be awesome!
Maybe new Seriously could be obtain max re-up or so.

**PsychoBEASTM0DE** · 08-12-2012, 12:33 AM

How about no reups, just make it require more XP to get to level 100 and he can have customizable colour options

Something like this wouldn't be half bad, actually.

Like recently, I've been thinking about how you could reach Lv. 100 in a plethora of ways in Gears 3, be it Versus, Co-op survival modes, or Campaign, or a mix of them all. Since Gears 2, Wings haven't really reflected how you got there, just that you played a lot. If Re-Upping were to remain as easy as it is currently, I'd vote to get rid of it altogether, and just have another way of showing your colors/mastery over game types(perhaps beating ___ on Insane or X amount of times, under certain conditions, after unlocking so and so medals, etc.). A bit less tedious than boosting or grinding, particularly during XP events. Hell I'd be fine with whatever turn the ranking system took, even if it went back to good old Gears 1/2 pre-TU days.

**Rainbow Dash** · 08-12-2012, 06:51 AM

No unicorns... are silly pegasi is where life is at - just give me a Rainbow Dash inspired skin Epic then I will love this game forever and ever

**Unarmored Marcus** · 08-12-2012, 09:59 PM

I'm okay with the current re-up system. However, I'd like something new so it won't feel like I'm playing Gears 3 again. So, perhaps something along the lines of what the OP said.

**Clayman XIII** · 08-12-2012, 10:27 PM

I would like different colors and wings. I for one can't tell the difference between 100 and 400. You make some good points in there Arti. Nice job with this.

**AndyXTheXGamer** · 08-12-2012, 10:34 PM

Blue wings with silver trim would be sick, i would stop there.

**vIFrostyy** · 08-13-2012, 07:41 AM

I like your idea, but honestly I wouldn't care if there wasn't a ranking system at all.

**SLump** · 08-13-2012, 08:37 AM

I don't mind the re-up system but I would like to see some type of true skill system implemented like in gears 2 when the game came out

**Artiodactyl** · 08-14-2012, 05:28 PM

Thanks for all the feedback so far everyone.

To those saying rank doesn't mean anything, it maybe true in the long scheme of things, but the reason why I like ranks is not because you can go 'oh look at me I'm higher than you' but for a sense of personal achievement. True, others might not care about it, so everyone has their preference.

I think it would be good in any case if they somewhat moved away from the current system because a) as I've seen no one's voted for it, and b) it is better to get a sense of 'new', as mentioned, with the new game.

The Tru skill system has always been in Ranked Multiplayer in Gears (and all other xbox games) since it's Microsoft's policy.

It's just that after the patch in Gears 2, they haven't visually displayed it since.

It's still there, you just can't see it, which is for the best

**A FEARED NINJA** · 08-14-2012, 10:48 PM

they should make the last pair of wings Onyx wings

**IIIHindleIII** · 08-15-2012, 08:57 AM

i love the idea of re-up for gears of war 3. it works with leveling up over and over because people love leveling up and i personally love levels up becuase i get board staying rank 100 etc in gears 3 and the different current wings is a great idea by epic.

The only problem is that the 1st 50 levels are so easy to get to for gears 3. if the levels were like 50 - 100 were a lot harder to get to in gears 3. took more time and if the 1-100 in gears judgment is like that for each rank then it be in favor for the idea for more re-up but i hope the epic dont go back to gears 2 style of ranking up and it take forever to get it and if that it was like that then i would not have re-up but at the end of the day it up to epic and people can fly to descide the ranking up with xp and re-uping

Time will tell

I totally agree, the first 50 levels were super easy then it slowed down somewhat and got a bit harder.
