So, uhh..How do you gain "heroic" status? By purchasing maps?

NO!

You do NOT get Heroic from buying the maps.

Heroic Status =/= Heroic DLC. NOT equal to.

Hopefully someone will see this and figure it out, before we have a thousand thread about how Bungie is trying to get our money and rewarding those who pay. Bungie is not some evil corporate monster...that's Exxon.


Not to mention the fact that Bungie isn't who decided to charge for the maps. That was Microsoft. Bungie got paid before the maps even hit XB marketplace.

I'm pretty sure it has to do with the date you joined the forums. Keep in mind, I only checked one Heroic and Legendary member, and they joined in 2005 and 2004, respectively, so it's just a theory.

Yeah. I think it has to do with how long you've been a member, how much you've contributed and if you haven't gotten blacklisted or posted spam or something of the like.

It definitely has nothing to do with purchasing anything. First of all, Bungie doesn't roll like that. Second, I bought the Map Pack in the first four minutes of its official release, and I'm not a Heroic Member.

The only thing that I have consistently noticed about people who have Heroic or Legendary status is the very high numbers of their Games Played, Rank and EXP. Everybody go grab your controllers and start practicing.

I would also imagine that if you've been paying attention to the web team's likes and dislikes surrounding forum behavior, there is probably a system of naughty and nice for the forum ninja's to rate you if they have a reason to come in contact with you.

For example it would be interesting to research people who have the status against number of threads started, rank/exp versus number of threads locked. I don't think it has anything to do with length of time as a member of b.net.

The last two paragraphs are nothing but pure 100% speculation, and I could be talking completely out of the backside of my router. Come to think of it, I *am* talking out of the backside of my router, as that is where the connections are.

"wart wart."

Luckily Recon Number fiddy foh got up in this first.

This reminds of an old US ARMY slogan: "Be all you can be in the ARMY". Though that's a really old one, I forgot the new one...

so how can you tell if you are a herioc, legendary or mythic member?

Uhmmm. Look under your member name, to the right of your avatar and above "More Posts by This User"?


Ok so what's the criteria. I know it's all about your activity in the forums, but what specifically? I sign in to Bungie.net pretty much everyday and I don't flame or spam. What makes me un-heroic?

If they told us the exact criteria, we'd have forum "boosters" who would exploit the system for gain. Hence, we'll never know exactly.

Actually I listened to the audio and he said something about the body rewarding social interaction because is was necessary to survive... well so was the appendix, and now all the appendix does is explode and kill you.

Never heard of a "post whore"? Same concept, applies to forums where post count is displayed.

The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher regard those who think alike than those who think differently.

2+2 =/= 22

Bungie! You screwed up 2+2!

It's obvious that the community wants 2+2 to equal 22. The way you have it now is Broken!

When are you going to stop screwing up and give your loyal community what they want? This needs to be fixed right away!

I like peanut butter. And playing Reach while smoking copious amounts of crack and wearing a Rainbow Brite costume.

So, now we'll have a bunch of noobs posting like mad to get the mythic rank, lol. That's just plain funny.

So I think Jun's a master chef, because he takes off his helmet and your like whoa, I think he's a chef.

So to shorten this up, Jun is master chef.

Really? But I was under the impression that... wow. Well, this changes my entire outlook on life!

To the thread creator, Heroic Members aren't people who have the maps, you silly goose.

Just as importantly, we'll now have a bunch of jealous forum "l33ts" accusing everyone of posting just to get a higher forum rank.

2 + 2 =/= 22

Means 2 + 2 does not = 22

Well done! You have identify that =/= means "Does not equal" You are truly heroic.
