The Song Of Nephilim

Xenoblade <3

Anyone can get Inheritor now? I am hearing that the cr cap can never be hit when abusing these. I need an honest answer. I hate 343 now for catering to losers. We played the game, and now these people are abusing custom challenges.

How can I help you?

I still don't know how to do it.

Also, there's that 'Free 100,000 cR' thing for CEA.

umadbro?

I can finally be the highest rank in every FPS Halo game on Xbox 360 LIVE without working my ass off in the worst one.

I think I'm peanut butter 'cause you're jelly.

Naw, I am not jelly. It is such a silly way to make reach go out with a bang is all.

Holy hell, you play a lot of halo 3!

I only used the Custom challenges to help me push on through to reaching Eclipse and now that I have achieved it, all that remains is to acquire Inclement Weather and I'm pretty much done with this game.

Reaching Inheritor is going to take the piss, so I'm not going to bother with it.

Oh no! 343 is giving out too much imaginary numbers that buy useless shapes.

Whatever will we do?

When you think about it, Inheritor is for dedicated players. This certainly is no "dedication"

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

In all fairness, Nephilim, ranking up was easy to begin with because it simply asked that you play the game.

I'm an Inheritor and have been one for quite some time now and these custom challenges don't bother me at all. Those who truly wanted Inheritor would have gotten it anyway.

Yup.

I also want you to take a good, long look at my k/d.

What do you notice? I suck.

Here's the thing though. I still like Halo 3 more than this failed abortion.

I also boosted a lot in Halo 3. It's still play time, so you can't subtract it from me actually playing the game. Maybe this new custom challenges thing will embrace my "manipulating" side. Nothing wrong with that.

It's still dedication to a certain degree, just of a different flavor. It's not like you get the cR without playing.

  • 11.22.2011 4:24 PM PDT

I'm not an inheritor but I'm not interested in custom credit boosting. I earn enough just from playing MM.

Boosting is dedication? Boy what world are we in now?

You have to make the challenges yourself. Anything worth any decent amount of credits has to be done in matchmaking. You still have to play the game. Think of these as supplemental daily challenges, not provided by 343. If all your challenges were say "Kill 10 enemies with a Headshot", you get dick for cR. If you make it an actual, well, challenging challenge, you get way more. In your case, you'd get extra cR for what you do anyway. You don't -have- to do them. But some people choose to.

Though to be honest, you seem quite up in arms about lolranks ANYONE can hit if they play long enough. Skill isn't even a factor. A 3 year old downie can rub their ass on the controller, they'll still hit Inheritor eventually. Kinda throws that whole dedication thing out the window.

1. They count toward the cap.

2. The amounts were just nerfed.

I think they want everyone to be inheritors before H4 launches lol.

It's making sure that they get a "dedicated following" back to their website. Think about all the traffic to Waypoint now setting up and redoing the challenges every 3 hours.

Without the "Custom Challenges" ask yourself a real honest question....

How many people would still be playing Reach????

Answer: Less than 30K on the weekends would be a real honest answer, if you look back on the numbers before the release of Halo CEA

Lets all face it, Custom Challenges are keeping this game alive and going right now, so people like ourselves can finally get the top rank out of the way before moving on to something else, along with 343 making the claim, that under their control, Halo: Reach has more higher ranks and Inheritor's than Bungie ever could have seen or help produce.

This.

Was just about to boost the living -blam!- out of it until I found out about this.

What a shame.

And BTW, people who boost don't do it because they have to, they do it because they want to. If you're so jelly about someone who boosted EXP or credits, why not just join the fun? Why sit there and pout about how someone else is doing something that doesn't even affect you?

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

The faster I can finish this p.o.s. game, the better.

How badly were they nerfed? I haven't been on today.

  • 11.22.2011 6:50 PM PDT

spiral out

They just nerfed how much you can get. Last friday I made one for 500 medals in MM. I got that in about 1.5 - 2 hours and it was worth 30,000cR. I tried making the same one today and ot was 20,000. Still a ton of cR, but it has been nerfed slightly.
