I was under the assumption you unlocked your elite costumes at 10, but it doesn't appear so just the goggle. Does anyone know the actual level for the body part of the costume?
-
I believe it's 13, though I'm not entirely sure.
-
13.
-
Dang I thought it was 15, guess I need to go ahead and get my 13 now
-
No 13 you get another headpiece.
-
Damn, level 15 it is then...
-
Weird, heard from a number of people it was 13. My mistake then.
-
It was 13 before 1.3 when the level cap was raised to 15. I don't think anyone ever earned it when it was at 13 though.

Ah okay, that makes sense.
-
Well, I give up then. Pretty much impossible with these must do x against level 4+ pilot achievments.

Just be glad Clara removed the higher level ones, they were originally much worse than 4+. :P

haha it wouldn't matter, I'd never find enough level 4 pilots to fly against 50 times in a capture point map to have gotten to to the level 10+ (cause you're not going to get kill 5+ level 4+ captains in a game anywhere else).

THANK YOU!!!!
I argued this back when 1.3 hit. Community demonized me. Muse finally changed most of them but still...virtually impossible to get. I've managed 1 of the Firnfeld perfects against 4s but literally it was 1 heavily stacked team against all 4s flying with pugs and newbies. The stacked team sat out in the open area with jack loaded ships just sniping the 4s down. Matches like that really showed Muse has good intentions but is out of tune with how the community is going to get them. It was the perfect example of what it takes. Stacking and farming by high levels all committed to it.
-
I'll probably need to convince my clan to let me kill them for the achievment.
-
Yeah probably so. Kinda sucks you getting stuck with those. I had gotten a lot of ones like that done before they changed it so I was auto given the achievements. But now most of mine aside from Firnfeld are 7+. While many are just 1 person being 7+ required, I am wondering if they even work properly. I've won multiple against 7+ and done it with full hull and not dying. Didn't record a single one.
Pretty much given up on those. Eventually Muse will probably change things again and then it will all be possible. Currently I believe only level 14 is possible in game. But it takes over 1000 matches + a bunch of other things and I think a few of the achievements are messed up in that too. Hard to tell on some because they are very situational. Best give up on 15. It'll probably be a year before 15 is actually possible. Even then, look for achievement farming threads to pop up before its doable in pugs. Heck I might just make some in clan events for farming the Firnfeld one for 4+ perfects. Just get 5 other pilots who don't care and get a few wins. Then contact Muse to get Flayed reinstated. No way in heck I'm going through the hell of getting Flayed done again.
-
Makes you wonder why they even waste the time and resources on elite costumes then. And they probably aren't working properly, every patch there are hard achievements that just don't work and that drives me crazy too.
-
o_O 15, seriously?
I reckon 13 as de-facto lvl cap for people who refuse to outright grind for the sake of getting achievements in destined farming matches.
It Looks like I can give up the attempt to cover my pilot e-peen in fig leaf green :(

We hear you on the time commitment to reach level 15 (and that is where the elite costumes are). We want it to take you a while to get there, but not be unobtainable (because the costumes are cool, we want people to wear them!).
We set out to create a long progression curve with lots of leveling content, but we overshot a bit. So we are currently rebalancing the progression curve to lower the overall time requirement to reach level cap. Early levels, up to 4 or 5, will be essentially unchanged, and after that level progression will be steadier, with less of an extreme ramp up from level to level.
New level 15 will be about where level 13 is now, and those costumes will still be difficult to get, but within reach.
These changes should be coming soon.

That's really great to hear!
