FUNGALSHAMBLER Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I don't know about anybody else, but I'm excited about this new DLC. Jan 17th seems like it's taking forever to get here. Well regardless, I want to know how people are preparing to upgrade for the new re-up (I think that's the prestige mode for the game). What I have set up so far is: going to re-onix the women (990/1000 matches), 92/100 times 10 multiplier, and 490/500 arcades, and a few more. I only need 3 ribbons (ticker kills 3 peeps, wretch kills a few with a scream, and the two kantus revive ribbons). I REALLY NEED HELP trying to get those last ribbons. I can't seem to get 3 kills with a ticker or the wretch Can anyone give some advice for those please? Can anybody else give me advice to get as much exp once I go back down to level 1? I would like to hear or read what everyone else is preparing to do for the new re-up coming this 17th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linktriforce007 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I need twelve more ribbons, all including the four you mentioned. *sigh* I'm going to play Gears as little as possible until the 17th, in an effort to not waste experience earned. I am NOT going to take the day off from work, because that is frickin stupid. The people who do that deserve to be fired. Immediately. That is my plan. Oh yeah, I'm not going to do the ribbons until after the DLC launches. I don't want to find out that I can't get the achievement cause I needed to actually get a new ribbon.

ChaosTheory2 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I'm currently missing one ribbon. Long Hauler. Complete all 50 waves in one sitting. I'm gonna do that and the 25G achievement in the new DLC simultaneously. I really don't have a "plan" other than keep grinding away at seriously 3.0. I'm only level 80 so I don't need to stop.

Zukin-Man Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I'm currently Level 96. I'm preparing by getting up to 99 and then maybe about halfway up the bar or so before calling it quits until the DLC hits. I remember people mentioning that hitting L100 and getting Onyx for Field Service gave you more "useless" experience. I don't know if the re-upping is going to be automatic, a choice that can be made immediately upon L100, or something that has to be activated in the options menu, but if re-upping can be activated immediately, maybe the Field Service experience can go directly toward my next set of levels. As far as ribbons, I got everything I was missing with the exception of one. Like linktriforce007, I'd rather hold off on finishing them than stumble onto a glitch that disables the achievement or otherwise makes it wonky just because I was a little over-ambitious.

Kaiyo Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I have almost all of the ribbons except 2 or 3 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rellnquish Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Personally, for the reup system I'm not preparing for it, the amount of time you'll save by onyxing a couple of medals at one time is minimal (considering a lot give less than 10k) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGoogles Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I don't know if the re-upping is going to be automatic, a choice that can be made immediately upon L100, or something that has to be activated in the options menu, but if re-upping can be activated immediately, maybe the Field Service experience can go directly toward my next set of levels. Re-upping will definitely be your choice; Epic wouldn't force people to do so. Anyway, I'll be playing Versus non-stop once it's released like I've been all month. I'm not going to stop doing a certain action once a medal is close to Onyx as the experience rewarded is substantially small and I'm definitely going to be playing online before the 17th. It's a shame that my extra 3.7 million experience points will go to the dumpster once I re-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDurbin Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I've got two weapon kill medals sitting on the fence of being onyx'd so I'll finish those off. I've also just been working on getting other medals close to onyx so I can just finish them off when the dlc comes out. Plus I know someone with a macro controller that he can program to run up the hill on act. 2 ch. 2, press start and reload the checkpoint and do it over and over. So I'll join his game and we'll either split the kills or take turns on who gets all the kills and just let it run overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Jeremy R6 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 is it possible to get the new achievement for ribbons already? cause it's already in my achievement list on my profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PreludeToHatred Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 No, the DLC has to be DLed for it to unlock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phenixdwn Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 i've been playing gears 3 on an alternate account loll. I have a bunch of medals that are less than 10 away from upgrading. I have all the ribbons. I'm level 100. So i've just been playing zombies on my main account and a few games here and there on my spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I R BFOG Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Currently have 34 onyx but by the 17th I will have a minimum of 15 medals (7 of them onyx) that need only a couple of kills to get. Hoping to just have the 5 starting weapons left to work on after the 17th so will re-up immediately then work on warzone for skunker. Been level 100 for about a month now so am only going to lose about a million xp, unlike some who will lose a lot more. Not really bothered about that just looking forward to going up a few ranks when i finish up a whole buttload of medals at once. Probably be around 80% thru seriously by the time this dlc drops. My new goal is to get 3.0 done by the time mass effect 3 is released - So many other games to play and I still don't really know why I am investing so much time into this one. I probably hate it more than i love it, can't figure it out at all lol. Only need 2 more ribbons - 4 heals as a kantus and revive all 4 teammates in horde, both of which will be super easy to boost while doing the new beast/horde cheevos. Currently have 1400/1500g and hoping to finish up all but one of the dlc cheevos day one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PreludeToHatred Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Finishing my Seriously 3.0, getting the rest of my medals 1 away from Onyx... will have about 400,000XP to start when I re-up. Can't wait myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriRock Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I've two ribbons left - revive the whole team in Horde, and revive 3 team mates at once in Beast -but I won't go for those until the DLC is launched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait myself. To be honest, if I were you, I'd probably get Seriously before the DLC hits, just in case there's something screwy with Re-upping. That's just me though.

That's just me though. I hope he wait's till after the DLC then he can tell the rest of us if it work's or not. He back's up his save so no risk involved.

xI WARFARE Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Aww crap. I didn't know about the Ribbons achievement. I have 21 left, mainly beast or horde. I've saved up a few Onyx medals though. But i'm only 88 and doubt i'll be 99 before February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least, it wouldn't surprise if Epic would ban for that. Bungie sure did. As for me, I now have all the ribbons. Grinding out XP right up to 100.

Besides, I'm not the one using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They banned, or at least reset, people using macro controllers to boost those ribbons to onyx in Halo: Reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TransonicPower Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I need to get to 100, I just got to 91... ThEn I will boost the remaining few ribbons and leave a easy one to do after the dlc comes out in case it glitches. Propably the horde 1-50 in one sitting so I can get the dlc cheevo at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wim17 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Still need ten ribbons so i'm going to try to get those before the dlc will be there. Try to arrange a party with friends for most of the other achievements. Only problem is the recap. But that will come in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know where you've been but you're starting with 0 XP when you re-up just like everyone else, XP is not carrying over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
