Re: wtf???? online xp limit reached??

im only on level 24 in war games and it wont let me level up any more. i get commedations but i cant get the xp. all it will tell me is "online xp limit reached"  microsoft tiold me they dont know how to fix the problem nor have they heard of it. this is the best game in the world and i love it but if i cant level up any more i just dont want to play halo 4 war games any more.  is there anybody who can help me out or has the same problem pleases let me know.

Just like in reach I believe they will have a daily xp cap so no one can glitch all through the ranks right away, I am not 100% sure since I have not heared 343 say anything about a xp cap but my friend and I are getting the same message at rank 24 so imo i believe they have a xp cap in place.

yes there is an xp cap

WHO CARES ABOUT RANK!!!!! ITS ALL ABOUT HAVING FUN WITH YOUR FRIENDS (IF U DONT HAVE FRIENDS I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU BUT THATS WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE)  U HAVE TO WAIT 24 HOURS BECAUSE THERE IS A CAP SO U CANT MAX OUT ALL IN ONE DAY...IN OTHER WORDS, THAT MEANS.....

GO OUT SIDE!!!!! GET SOME AIR!!!!!! GO TO THE MALL!!!!! SOCIALIZE!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAH

Who wants to go outside? We all spent good money on halo lol

It's to stop people getting a major advantage with more weapons, packages/supports at the release.

So im penalized for ding mtn dew double xp.... thats retarded i wasnt gonna get black ops till this *** happened i didnt get my preorder bonus and now this crap. wtf why give us all the comendations and challenges for xp if we cant earn it

bah. man up and just enjoy  the game like the rest of us

The way I play I will never need to worry about reaching my limit in 24 hours lol, maybe if 24 was the weekly cap I'd say different ;)

You read wrong on the speializations.

no, i knew i had to 1st finish the first 50. But how can i do that when I'm limited on the xp i can earn???

yea it's only a 24hr thing.  i was stopped at 24 also now leveling up without a problem

I posted in previous threads that it's to prevent people majorly boosting for it.

The cap should be removed. The appliance of double xp and a xp cap severely contradicts. What a greedy scheme to cook up. It's like 343 is beta testing with my money. At the very lest, I need 343 to increase the cap to a higher number because I don't like someone telling me how to progress through the game.

It's not about telling, it's about balancing the game. Do you think it's fair for players who rush up to extreme levels and have specilaizations already? Not everyone has time to get high levels fast.

Ridiculous... I played 4 games with double XP. Now I cant rank up. What a waste of money...

ooooooooo so you can't earn xp waaaa put your big girl panties on and deal with it. I'm one match away from SR32, was for about a dozen games but by some MIRACLE of god I still managed to enjoy JUST PLAYING THE GAME. Don't spend your lives and game time *** and whining. Enjoy it for what it is. A VIDEO GAME.

This is bull **** I want to level up the Daliy cap is retarded I really like this game but I woint play it with this stupid cap system if u don't want people to level up faster than you stop sucking at this game!

How does a high level have an advantage anyway?

How does no cap make it unfair? Ranking up won't give you a major advantage over everyone else... And with the amount of people putting alot of hours into the game, you wouldnt have an elite few who rank up to max level and grab the specializations. They would be relatively common. They just dont want people to burn out in the first couple weeks, they want them to keep playing and put more hours into the game

Look at the Specializations on what they do. Is it fair for players to get all the power they want while other players who don't have time to play? Even Wetwork nearly makes you invisible to Promethean Vision and Operator could make vehicles like a real tank.

Tbh this is bull *** since you get most stuff in early ranks so wtf

But yet here I am at level 32 being told I have reached Online XP Limit? My @@@. If anyone that works for 343 Industries sees this? Get rid of this XP limit horse ***. I for one regret buying it now. Hell; I just WASTED $65!!!!!! 343 Industries now have a new title from my clan: FAILURE Industries.

How is this fair?  I find this incredibly stupid to be honest with you.  I usually work 55 hours plus a week.  So When I play xbox I play for a LONG TIME  in a day.  So now I have to suffer to cater to everyone else??  Not to mention I can't even get an online game now and my rank is reset at 1.  This game is riddled with tons of issues.  I am not one of those people who loves to *** and moan on forums but this just keeps on getting worst and worst.

What would make more sense is by putting people of similar levels together, not by limiting daily xp gain. So what if someone wants to get all juiced and hit 50 in a day, it should be their choice. For the people that aren't  that good (myself included) make a kiddy pool for us where people that are just getting the hang of it can go and learn. I suck and I hit the cap in 4 hours of off and on playing (capped me @24) of course I was all jacked up on mountain dew and doritos. It just shouldn't be that way though. I dont think that is a fair way to "balance" the game. It makes "pro" players have to pay so "not so pro" players can what? get gear? get packages? weapons? that's just silly. Like I said 343 should group people based on the stats that they have like KTD ratio....... and thats just naming one thing that gets tracked in your Halo 4 career. Again I'm a crappy player and I think the xp limit is silly. One more thing too, yes you can still play without getting xp and have fun BUT, some people want to get the specializations unlocked ASAP to check out the cool sounding new feature, I dont see anything wrong with that at all, especially if you spent $25 to get the season pass....... just my 2 pennies......

Your Rank isn't 1 it's just a server issue.

It has been explained numerous times that rushing to specializations wouldn't be fair to players if the game just came out. Not everyone has time to play Halo 4 and rush the ranks up asap. People will get annoyed of unfair advantages because of the specializations.

I have yet to read a thread complaining about people having overpowered specializations. More people are annoyed by the XP cap!!  Why even have specs at higher levels? Why not just let everyone use them at level 1?

The “early access” to the specializations is as follows. You can only rank up in one at a time, like we HAVE to rank up through the Spartan4 “specialization” first. Where the other EIGHT specs come in is like this. If you ordered the regular version of the game, you will only have access to TWO of the specializations once you reach level 50 in S4. Until the rest are released for you, you can only touch those 2. if you pre-ordered the limited edition, you can rank up in any of the 8, in whichever order you choose.

As for the XP cap...do you want to play tomorrow and find out everyone is lvl 40+ and just wrecking you due to more gear? I sure don’t. However, I do agree that it was a very unpleasant surprise to find out post-game.

Actually it's anyone who plays Halo 4 on their gamertag before the November 20th.

Oh really? I never heard that update but that’s cool. Seems more fair that way.

Well said sir

It just caught me by surprise. I can sorta understand why they did it but, yes, it still sux to be inhibited. I had gotten a day off of work so I had nothing but time on my hands. The msg popped up for me and at first I was confused by it. Played another mp game (did fairly well) and realized wasn't awarded my xp. So I was like whatever and decided to start the campaign. Finished the first mission and had finished 3 challenges/ commendations but was awarded 0xp for each. That's when it got stupid. I would hate to be the guy who worked his butt off on a challenge, only to be cut off.

[hypothetical i.e. Killing Master: 4999/5000 kills. XP Award: 10,000. But you've just been told that xp gain is stunted for 24hrs and if you go ahead and kill one more Spartan, you get nada. No reimbursement. So in most cases people aren't going to want to play the game.]

How are you going to take away from what somebody has worked for? A mp match lasts about 10-15min and you get what you get based on performance. But to strip away what somebody has put mins., hours, and days into....... Kinda blows.

@SkellingtonVII - I like your idea for the better matchmaking system. It would do away with all of this.

Ok, a lot of people are probably going to hate me for posting this, but there's going to be a lot of people who appreciate it as well, so I'm going ahead and posting it anyway.

I know a loop hole around the cap. All you have to do is go to your DATE AND TIME settings on your dashboard and select the TIME ZONES section. Select a time zone of a country that is on a different day than your time zone. ex: if your time zone is Central America time, and its 3:00 pm, then select Hong Kong because it would be a day later. And since it thinks your on the next day, voila! Your able to start earning xp again! And lets say now you've caped out on your new time zone your on now, well no problem because all you have to do is set it back to a time zone that is the day that you was on before and you can start gaining xp yet again!

I have tried it and it works.

Wow just when you think you have seen all the whiny threads you thought possible here comes a train full of them.

Cyanide fair enough found a work around huh? people found them on Reach also and what happened? Yup that banhammer started swinging, don't go thinking this time is any different.
