i get 2895 for completing but average 4500 per game/ without challenges / commendations so i can play approx 12-14 games befor i hit the limit

  • 11.23.2010 2:06 PM PDT

So offline players can only earn 10,000 credits every 24hours. But we can save them up & within a week have 70,000?

If I am logged in with a silver account is my credit cap raised from 10,000/24h?

& does a higher rank increase the credit cap?

Sorry for all the questions... I just have no idea & would like to know. Someone please answer & thank you very much!

Bungie doesn't see gamers any more. They see walking credit cards.

How is this thread still alive 2 months after the OP...

Hello friends,

The Online Credit Limit is a daily cap on Credit earn - it does reset so come tomorrow you can continue your earnapalooza.

We've seen other systems come and go where rampant abuse of progression systems has devalued the online ecosystem and the Online Credit Limit is just one of many countermeasures against these activities.

Actually playing your favorite gametype or checkpoint in Reach isn't going to get you banned, but it may get you to the cap faster.

Thanks,
-luke


I don't mind the credit limit being in place. I actually agree with the reasoning. but what I'm not a fan of or a little upset about is the fact that I can't rank up/gain experience so if I want to play any more today its basically pointless. I don't find that completely fair but what am I to do?

My least favorite thing about Halo? The credit limit. It is completely asinine.
Player: I love this game, I will buy more stuff and keep paying Microsoft to play it!
Bungie: Stop having fun. Go play our competitors game instead

Sir,
The word tomorrow in your post is a bit... vague. I live in Japan, is my tomorrow when it normally happens for me? or is it GMT?, Pacific(you guyss are in Washington, iirc). Please provide a bit more detail on the credit limit so I can plan around it.

Ok, I just finished the daily challenges, received my weekly, and played about 5 games and reached my daily cap. This puts me at around 30k for the day, so something has either changed or someone is wrong about the 60k. This could be solved by the daily and weekly challenges not being counted towards the cap. I only play like 4 hours a day, 3 to 4 days a week, and should not be reaching the cap in 2 hours.

The daily cap changes at midnight, so all the games of arena you were playing last night went towards todays cap. weird that it doesn't change with the challenges.

I got these cheeseburgers man....

YAYZ!

  • 11.25.2010 7:58 PM PDT

Thank you tsujen...you are correct. This makes much more sense as I played well beyond 12 AM the night before. Thanks for clearing that up. BTW, it did reset at midnight.

  • 11.25.2010 10:40 PM PDT

I hit the credit cap after I did the weekly...its the first time I hit it...they need to get rid of it..

Or atleast.make the challenges not count

  • 11.26.2010 4:29 AM PDT

always annoying to see the Cr cap message. So you don't want people ranking up to fast.. that's fine, but please for the love of god let us still receive credits, they just don't count towards rank once you reach the daily cap. Some of you people say "play for fun." But sorry feels like such a waste playing a bunch of matches and getting nothing for them. Considering buying crappy Black Ops.. atleast i get rewarded for the time i play and not punished with a cap

Yeah, I played late last night and started playing again this morning trying to earn my next level. I just leveled up and then I got the message that I've reached my Cr Cap for the day and it's only 1230!! I guess I'm not playing any Halo on a saturday night!! WTF!!! I do agree that challenges should not count towards the Cr Cap. The weekly challenge this week is for 16,000Cr's. That's almost 25% of the daily limit. I only had one more challenge left for today and that would have also given me my weekly challenge. It's a good thing that I didn't get that and get capped before I got all of those points! I think that they should also raise the daily Cr limit on the weekends as well. I've never had a game that actually "Forced" me to stop playing. I've always loved the Halo series but this is a little bit of a let down. Don't get me wrong, I'll still play and I'll still love the game, but I'm hurt bungie. I always look forward to playing with my friends on the weekend and now I can't tonight. Guess I'll go rent Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood!! lol

"Whosoever is delighted in solitude is either a wild beast or a god" ~ Aristotle

Whilst this truly does s*ck for me right now, I have to say it is fair.

My girlfriend (who I live with) finally decided to go away with her friends for the weekend. "Great!" thought I. "Finally some time to crack on with my Reach commendations". I spent yesterday evening smashing the bejesus out of campaign, and most of today owning Gruntpocalypse. I shall admit, there was a certain degree of splash damage involved (courtesy of the target locater) and a certain degree of resuming of saved games on Heroic at the end of a certain level. Naughty me. However, I'm now gearing up for an evening of multiplayer with my two brothers and lo and behold, credit cap kicks in out of the blue.

Now... I'm not complaining, because I know I've been level grinding like hell for the last 24 hrs or so, but if this happens without warning and let's says I now decide to play through the evening with my brothers, what's to say I won't suddenly get banned, also without warning?

I appreciate the need for measures like this, as there are some very crafty people around, and nobody likes to feel as though they're having to work hard to achieve something that others have achieved a quick way by being dishonest and lazy (hands up on this one, so please spare me the criticism), but it would at least be nice to know where the boundaries are.

Suppose for one minute that someone who is just genuinely a very good player plays Reach a lot online and scores a lot of points. Let's say they're playing well and hit a few commendation targets in fairly quick succession. Is it fair to place a limit on credits? Surely it would be more fair and sensible to just temporarily block the commendations?

Anyway, rant over.

Why is bungie is trying to micro manage everyone who bought the game. If you were old enough to buy it, you are old enough not to have bungie acting like an overprotective mother. I am a disabled combat vet and killing imaginary creatures and ranking up is pretty much my trip to the beach. Sorry that there are people who cheat, but focus on them not the people who play legit.

Are they banning for changing your timezone to the next day so you can start earning again? Or do they not care since it goes towards the next days cap anyways?

Just learned of this today. It s**ked at the very wrong time too. I was hacking away at the 1000K kills for the weekly challenge & got it but no 7777cr for it because of the cerdit cap. Wrong, very wrong.

  • 11.30.2010 10:05 PM PDT

Hehe Cedit Crap.Damn qwety keyboard.With such a huge weekly challenge,chances are your going to max out all the daily challenges every day trying to crack it(& also cap/s).Seems bizarre alright.What's the point in challenges you can't do.?

Finally hit the cap for the first time today. I didn't think I was anywhere near hitting it but oh well, just another hour until the next "day" starts. Works for me

Too bad rampant abuse of the progression system is an understatement concerning reach. Farmers are more common than not.


Seriously, I've played many, many, many games in my day but I've never seen a ranking system so abused as I do in Halo Reach Firefight.

Bungie fails. Credit cap does nothing to combat the abuse, it only annoys hardcore players - a simple 20-30k bump in the limit would suffice. I'm positive some actual banning or tweaking of the system would combat the abuse more effectively.

You know you've hit a nerve when little kids make accounts just to troll you, personally.

Thanks TXTCLA55, your insecurity makes me lol forever.

Yeah, sorry, someone playing the game differently from you isn't a bannable offense. What they're talking about is more *selling* accounts, after a couple days or weeks of no-lifing it to inheritor.

  • 12.01.2010 7:10 AM PDT

But this would just double the price they can *sell* it for,wouldn't stop them from doing it.

  • 12.01.2010 9:58 AM PDT

I understand the 60,000 credit limit and all the problems we are all having with it, but can anyone tell me the time that the daily cap resets? If it's midnight, what time zone is it determined by?
