HS2 New Levels

[HC Faceless]

Today Firestream added 5 new levels to the game:

Covenant:
51 - Grand Prophet - 30,000,000 EXP
52 - Arch Prophet - 40,000,000 EXP
53 - Glorious Deity - 50,000,000 EXP
54 - Alpha - 75,000,000 EXP
55 - Omega - 100,000,000 EXP

Rogue:
51 - Viceroy - 30,000,000 EXP
52 - Grand Viceory - 40,000,000 EXP
53 - Arch Viceroy - 50,000,000 EXP
54 - Glorious Angel - 75,000,000 EXP
55 - Supreme Being - 100,000,000 EXP

UNSC:
51 - Spherian - 30,000,000 EXP
52 - Grand Spherian - 40,000,000 EXP
53 - Arch Spherian - 50,000,000 EXP
54 - Glorious Spherian - 75,000,000 EXP
55 - Commander in Chief - 100,000,000 EXP

Right now the only benefits to the new levels are an increase in credit/experience payouts (in accordance with the graduated payout system), and the additional trait points that come with each level. Firestream has stated that there will be more equipment to come as an add-on to the equipment that level 50 players currently have. Not as a replacement of that equipment.

What are your thoughts on this? I personally love that there is something to work at, difficult as it may be to achieve those levels. It will certainly take a long time, but there is finally an incentive for level 50 players to continue playing.

With the big update that's been promised, this addition of new levels should add more strategy for players, who must now re-think and prioritize how they will spend their credits.

GP Face, way to get the word out brother and I love the fact that there are new levels, and that we won't lose the equipment we paid so much to upgrade....win/win

[HC Faceless]

Exactly. I saw the words "new equipment," and got a pit in my stomach thinking about all the credits I had wasted. I was sooo relieved when Firestream clarified.

[HC DarKStorm]

Yeah, 4 sure....would have killed me

[The Durte]

Thanks face, I was a bit confused when it said I leveled up :P

[HC DarKStorm]

Supreme Being will look good on me

[pure fire x2]

I think it is a very clever thing to do to keep people that have hit the top levels to keep playing. A lot of people when they hit level 50 are just gonna restart, at least with this there will be a tougher chance of hitting the last 5 levels of the game.

As for equipment i think that when it comes in due time, im wondering what it will be since the HS2 already has all the stuff from HR so im curious as to if he will start adding people like flood or flood limbs or something for a booster. But alast we will just have to see what he has in store.

i like the update makes the game longer and makes you have to try to get the highest rank

[HC Faceless]

Surprisingly, I've heard several people complaining about this, because they feel that 100,000,000 experience is unattainable. They saw 20,000,000 as their objective, and now the final level has slipped beyond their grasp.

I say: Everyone just has to determine their own personal goals.

I agree i was happy to see the new ranks it gave the game the difficulty it needed from the begging and makes it so that its not a quick 2 month game like vindictive made it. I know itll take me months to hit that 55 but the journey will be worth it

I am sort of 50/50 right now. At first I thought it a welcomed addition, but looking at the longevity that it might take it sort of seems cumbersome right now. In HS1 there were goals and objectives, as well as a start and stop point, but as of yet HS2 seems to be never ending, and at this point is a little boring. There is no chat to speak of, the shop's percentage off group level isn't much, nothing left to buy, and endless clan games. Long story short, I am tired of just clicking. I had hoped for so much more in this game, and although I have nothing but respect for the creators, I find myself weaning away.....

What I'm really hoping to happen is that the 55 is just a head start, and that there will be many,many add-ons to come. If they were to add Bounties, Bobbleheads, and other things from Halosphere 1, then it would be nice. If they had a lot of objectives, it would be more of an incentive to get to 55. Because the only thing that I see out of the 55 is just to be at the top of everyone else.

To be honest, I feel much the same way. I've felt this way since before I hit level 50, even. At this point, the only thing that keeps me playing is my clan and the community in general. If my clan were to quit and the chat box were to slow down much more, I'd probably hang up on HS2 and move on. The addition of new levels offers only a very slight boost to my will to play.

I guess what's keeping me going is the hope that the new update will change things up enough to keep it interesting. With the addition of the new forums, a LOT of ideas have been brought up by the community. Some of them are great, some of them are awful, and some of them are just alright. But I think there are enough good ideas in there to pick the game up by a pretty sizable margin if they were to be implemented.

This game has so much potential with the way it's set up... it would be a very sad thing to see it slip away. I know FS and Psy will do their best to bring the game to its fullest potential, but while I still like this new update... I just worry that they're going for length instead of depth right now. Only time will tell how it ultimately works out, I guess...
