damn, got it ... lvl 50 + the last 80k XP ...

for the last 80k XP I got the C.E.L.L. skin for the Scar ...

but now ... what all will be go down to zero after re-booting the suite (prestige)?

weapons, suite-modes, skill-points?

will there be a "surprise" after re-booting? ;P

does somebody know that ... have somebody done that?

From what i understand ( because i want to reboot as well) you basically keep the Camo for your weapons (Urban and CELL) and you start over from level 1. But you dont get a Level 1 icon, you get a Prestige icon. to my understanding there are 5 Prestige.

ah, OK thx ... that with 5 prestige levels I know

... so everything, except the "extras" are gone

But I read somewhere, that there will be a extra suite mode or weapon after re-booting, isn't it?

there is also a skill bonus I don't understand:

I have to kill 5 enemies who has "deflect" choosed?

don't know the right word for what they have to choose, in german it's "umlenken"

my translator shows me some more, so it could be: deflect, diverge, redirect, turn round, reroute


ATTENTION: I found something ... all leaderboard stats, except of XP, are deleted too ... that's really heavy, so I don't know, if I really want to do that ... I have nice stats and it took long to get them

Yeah the reason I want to reboot is so I can start over trying to get a better K/D ratio, pretty disappointed in my current K/d ratio. Lol.

Deflect is a deathstreak. Die multiple times in a row without getting a single kill and you'll spawn with enhanced health (until you finally kill someone).

yeah OK, that's a reason ... but I wont to loose this




also the playing time will be deleted ... no no, I don't want that ;P

ah OK, I see ... thx
so that is hard to get ... I don't have any kill of such a enemy

nobody here who re-booted the suite who can tell us what will definitely happen?

It wipes ALL your operational status. Only your Dog Tags, rank icon and CELL camo are saved.

excuse me for being ignorant, but i really don't get the whole "reboot @ lvl 50"-thing.

1. you practically get nothing for doing it - i mean, one weaponskin - woho? new challenges that give you XP so you can level up to 50 yet again? an icon beside your badge? it's all trivial stuff that i personally wouldn't get any enjoyment from.

2. you have to level all the way up again and lose all your weapons & attachments

ok thx ... so I guess I wont do it, as long as the stats are gone ... Crytek, pls change that, that makes no sense!

1. the weapon skin u will get before re-booting the suite ... and the challenges are great, if there follow some greater as they are now, it would be awesome (did u tried the "Mark and Humiliate" thing) -> not easy and so funny, for all who are looking at you in this moment too) ... and I read somewhere that there will be an extra weapon or suite mode, but don't know

2. I don't care, that is a challenge again ... at the moment there are not so much who challenge me

for me the problem is, that my stats are gone ... it took a long time the get them and I don't want to lose them

Oh dear, it's CoD all over again...

I don't like CoD too ... but not everything what CoD has is automatically bad! The basic idea to make a game for longer interesting is good, and "Prestige" is good for it ...

... but there must be more than a icon (C.E.L.L. Scar skin is before re-booting after the 80k XP at lvl 50) and the stats should be stay.

Perhaps a new weapon, a suite mode and so on ... on the other side it's not easy to find something interesting what is not like, e.g. a god weapon, which kills everybody to easy

It can't be anything what is important for the basic gameplay ... cuz "Prestige" is only for enthusiast and ppl who don't make that, mustn't affected from that

You ever wondered why people bother playing RPGs multiple times? Why would they do that, it's the same environment with the same characters.

It's simply the process of levelling, upgrading and unlocking giving them joy. You are not forced to do it, there is no gameplay-wise benefit in it for you, but for me, the actual gameplay is scondary. I'd rather spend time contemplating my classes as well as unlocking guns and upgrading modules.

One question...
Does this reset the suit modules, too?
Because oh boy, there is no point in leveling Stomp, if so...

There is currently a bug (surprising I know) that keeps your modules at rank 3 until you restart the game. Then they go back to level 1 however all progress earned with the level 3 modules will be retained.

But in RPG's you can choose majorly different classes that affect your playthrough (going rogue after spellcaster etc, or being evil instead of good, or doing a whole tone of side quests).

This just removes everything you gained (pretty sure suit modules go out the window as well), you can't 'contemplate' your class any better once youve prestiged, you just lost all your custom slots and suit modules and weapons. If you stay lvl50 you can fiddle around with them all till you wind up with an airstomping microwave weilding machine pistol who regens super fast.

Its really really crappily implemented freudian psycology, (something which is extremely prevelent in games, but usually poorly).

As I understand it you don't even get new challenges, they just go back to lvl0 and being locked. So you can do them again.....woooo?

This feature was a blatant copy paste from cod, without being thought through at all as too how it could be improved (its really very hard to improve this model of 'progression', seeing as its basically 'regression', the best choice would have been to remove it, raise the level cap and think of some more challenges (if anyone has tried reaching max level in bf2 and getting all the awards..it literally takes YEARS of playing, that is also a fairly poor mechanic in some senses, but it beats "reset yourself back to lvl0 and we'll give a different symbol nobody looks at anyway".

So yeah, not a fan of reboot at all.

There shall be new challenges to earn XP, but I have no proof for that.

And the XP bonuses are really funny, except some less I got all now.

You know Arcanum? http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/arcanum_of_steamworks_and_magick_obscura

I played the game to no end, always choosing the same race, profession, stats and background with each playthrough perfecting my gameplay.
It's okay if you don't get that feeling, it's close to the joy of min/maxing. Most people can't sympathize with that, too.

And you do unlock new challenges, long-term ones.

kk ... great, thx

But nothing like "Mark and Humiliate / Markieren und Erniedrigen"? That was so funny to unlock, want to know, what all the people thought seeing me while I tried this

i've played tons of MMOs during my years.
the difference between c2's "rebooting" and the one you get from rerolling another char in an RPG is that you actually have different options in the RPG. in c2 you always end up with the same weapons, you get the same unlocks at the same time, there's no gear to acquire that is specific to your class, neither are there any new "class-specific skills" such as in an RPG. all you get is some lame dogtags that are only visible when people hover their mouse over your name in the lobby, some new challenges to further gain XP so you can level up to 50 again for no reason at all, and the precious little decoration on your badge, of course - another thing that nobody practically gives a darn about.

Yeah but once you do a quest or level up in arcanum you can't do it again, you can't put that skill point (or w/e it uses, seen my friends playing it, but never bothered to play it), into anything else, so each playthrough (as the same guy) allows you to hone in your character to a lean mean dungeon crawling machine, or find a new item set you never got before, or play without health potions or on a harder difficulty.

Like I pointed out in my wall of text, rebooting achieves none of those. You can't 'min/max' your guy (except maybe in the order that you max everything out, but shoopdefreaking woop), you can't pour exp into a few key areas (seeing as you already have everything, going back to nothing isn't going to enable you to max nanorecharge any easier. Infact its harder, seeing AS YOU DON'T HAVE IT.

It quite simply is there to create the illusion of there being more to do after hitting lvl50, and to cause people who must simply get 100% a great deal of pain and waste their time. And on those challenges....Thats just the same old one with 'elite' tacked on the end and the number increased to a stupid amount. WOW thinking outside the box there crytek.

Look if you do find resetting everything to 0 so you can do it all again appealing, well...great. But from a logical point of view (and quite a few others) it simply makes no sense and smacks of poor, lazy game design. (Also those weapon skins should be reserved for amazing things, not as the result of grinding through a bajillion exp,)

Good thing I read this thread.

The only reason you are of such a high rank here is because everyone else above you has already rebooted so you're wayyy behind. When someone of prestige 2 gets up there then you'll know who the best is.

Actually if you've heard of Torchlight an RPG once you complete the game (which is infact an endless game if you want it to be) you have the option of retiring your character, doing this allows you to pass traits onto your next character so that your new character is now more powerful than he could have been, although you have lost your old high level character so there can be some plus side to "prestiging".
