Stop punishing high levels
Commodore Phoenix:
Pickle have you heard what most people say about levels. They mean nothing to them most people only get to level 8-9 through playing in achievement games. However by the time you reach those levels you see leveling as pointless and say that a level means nothing, the only thing that means anything is to be good at the game.
Also to say its OUR responsibility to get level 10+ captains is kind of ridiculous. As I have said before most people who reach that level are in clans so its hard as hell playing against them and winning. Or they simple don't bother to get that high.
Most of you know that I crew with Twinkie D-Lite and PzychoDude. Both high level players one of the only reasons that they did some of the achievements is because I persuaded them to do it. Now the only reason I was able to persuade them is because we mostly never fly apart.
So as I've said before you are pushing boundary's between players if you think Muse did the right move here.
Pickle:
Phoenix.. you're shaving a gnats whisker every time you ask someone to help you gain an achievement by playing a map you need, you end up a tiny fraction closer to the point where you become blocked by a lack of high level competition. However, if you cooperate with another player you can probably get them two or three achievements further up the levels in the space of a few games. If you worked on your Gunner and Engineer levels as hard as you worked the Pilot levels, you'd be helping ANOTHER Captain to work his way up the levels.
Anyway, where do you want the level cap to be? Is fifteen not high enough? it is achievable, just not overnight. This isn't something where you can set out and get 50 ram kills in 24 hours.
Commodore Phoenix:
Pickle, can I ask you a question seems though you seem so intent on saying these are possible things
Will you try to get to level 13?
Pickle:
If it comes through normal game play, yes.
But I'm not going to do it the way you have done. I'll focus on getting ram kills or defends, but not to the extent of an all-out offensive to get that one achievement fully completed in 12 hours. And I know that's the way you do it, because you're always onto the next achievement the following day.
I'm currently a whisker of L9, and with a chunk of almost completed achievements towards L10. But I'm doing this in regular games and for the most part with PUGs. Because I don't have a clan, and you'll say you don't - but you've a regular achievement chasing crew and an extended occasional high level crew you can call on pretty much every time you log in. That's as good as having a clan, although you don't want to think of it as such. You, Twinkie and Psycho have a higher average level than any clan I can think of, so you can't go blaming it on clans. Is there any clan in the game that has a focus on achievements and levels?
Without checking back at the exact achievements, you'll need four L13 Captains for L13+ DMs. You and Gilder is two L12s to start with - that's halfway there, and I know you're not the only L12 Captains although I can't think of the others off the top of my head. You'll be pushing through L14 before that blocks you. For L10+ matches, there must be over a dozen players that currently qualify and twice as many more that could be there in a couple of weeks with only minor assistance.
Commodore Phoenix:
Well OK you say that if they are available to get by playing normally you would do it. Well isn't that being a bit contradictory? We only want to do achievements that are complete able in ordinary games or did you lose us somewhere? I thought the name of this post was "stop punishing high levels" so by saying that you would only do them if they could be done in ordinary games is what we are trying to say.
Secondly being in a clan and playing with a crew of friends is different with a clan you can do your own games if I really want to do an achievement game I've got to find friends online and persuade them to waste there time doing them. Of course no clan is based purely on achievements what clan would be but if they need to do something how easy is it to ask a whole damn clan to help you out not 2 friends.
Finally there are only 5 level 12's to my knowledge and only 1 level 13. So if we really have to do achieves based around beating 2 level 13 captains then HOW? the only reason we aren't getting to level 13 is because of these achievements then it wouldnt be a problem then when there is a bigger player base and they implement these achievements then other people can fight us so that they can also level its up to muse to change this stupid thing right here.
