AkinSoup907 Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Here is my situation if anyone can help me. XBox Live Support told me to contact Halo Waypoint by tweeter. I have 2 profiles on xbox, AkinSoup907 and SwellerSphinx65. AkinSoup907 has ranking of Hero that I got offline. An xbox live agent got it to show Hero ranking, but only shows that online when I go to upgrade armor by pressing start button, and armor. Shows ranking of recruit. I spent like 8 months offline building up that ranking of Hero so I could have super armor and not get killed as easy. The agent said she talked to 343 industries and was trying to activate it. I understand that 343 industries or whoever didnt want me to take the credit i have which is 3,355,000 something because I might have used a computer to enhance armor etc... I dont know how to do that in the first place, and I wouldnt cheat. I have seen guys though using devices or whatever that enhanced their armor etc, even a friend of mine online showed me how they were doing that. Some guys even start at first of a game, dont do anything so they can get credit for that. which isnt fair. Anyway, anbd agent got the Hero to show up online but only when I go to upgrade armor does hero ranking show up. When I am playing online only shows recruit and eveytime I sign on, keeps saying your credits are over the allowed limit and you will lose those 3 million plus credit. How do I fix that and keep my Hero ranking. On my other profile, I built from scratch to ranking of Lt Colonel grade 3, (I am halfway on grade 3 lieutenant ranking). I went full gold today with family pack for a year. I would like to keep the Hero ranking, which is for me, since I spent so long building that up. And the swellersphinx65 would like to keep for my nephew who likes to play with me. Can this be done and can someone please help me with this? Agent for xbox live support said to contact halo waypoint and she contacted 343 industries. She thought after talking with 343 industries had it working on her end, but still shows when playing online recruit (which i have really grade of sergeant grade 2 i believe. We spent like an hour just today trying to get this worked out and I have been talking with xbox live the past 2 weeks or so, to get this straightened out if i can. Appreciate it if someone can help me. I know my nephew will be totally upset if he has to play the recruit and start all over. He built up a profie to ranking of major i think, which we deleted that proifle today. I told him I would try to get my profile of Hero ranking to online if i can, so he can use the profile I built up from scracth to to ranking of lieutant colonel 3 grade. The agent said to tweet halowaypoint which i did about 2 hours ago. Havent heard anything yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectral Jester Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Okay, to be brutally honest your offline account won't show the credits online so Xbox supported rt is wrong there. if you have never been online with your halo reach account it is a lot easier to earn credits, and quicker sometimes than online accounts. When your halo reach account accesses live it will cut your credits and you will become a sergeant. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Boo Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Offline credits are "worth more" than online credits, as they are extremely easy to get. So therefore, you lose them upon entering live, becoming a sergeant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkinSoup907 Posted June 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Okay, to be brutally honest your offline account won't show the credits online so Xbox supported rt is wrong there. if you have never been online with your halo reach account it is a lot easier to earn credits, and quicker sometimes than online accounts. When your halo reach account accesses live it will cut your credits and you will become a sergeant. Ok, thats part of the problem, online shows me as a recruit, but once i did the credit less thing, which took me to a sergeant rank. Everytime I sign in though, keep saying to take less credit, or start out as recruit. So, even though shows me as a 2nd grade sergeant, online shows me as having armor of a recruit, which you get killed quickly. However, when i go to upgrade armor etc, shows me as having all armor as Hero. So, do i have to go through this all the time, and not get armor etc, and have recruit armor etc, ?

Spectral Jester Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Seems the settings haven't quite caught up. This will stop. On another point armor doesn't effect anything when you play online its purely cosmetic. If your dying a lot, unfortunately it means the other person is better than you, not your armor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkinSoup907 Posted June 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Well, like when i was a sergeant or lesser rank, elites could hit me and bam, 1st or 2nd hit i would die. When i got the Hero rank with tons of armor etc, i could sit there and laugh at the elite. Elite could hit me 3-4 times and bam i could kill him instead. Now, granted this was offline. On another profile online, with rank of lt colonel, with alittle more armor now, i can take some hits from elites or grunts, and takes till 3rd hit or so before i die. So, is that because its offline and not much damage with the full armor? Or cosmetic? Anyway, thanks understanding alittle more about getting credits more offline and maybe not counting as much. But the xbox agent that talked to 343 industries that told me to contact halowaypoint, said that main concern 343 industries had with offline credits and you not getting them added, is due to the fact of guys using computer addage stuff to upgrade to more rankings and more armor etc.... So, they wont allow you full credit. But I am understanding now, and boy, my nephew isnt going to be happy, because he will have to play as sergeant 2nd grade and build up rankings and armor. by the way, how do you get the glowing skulls that some have online? Or flaming skulls? do you acquire them by credits or can you buy the flaming skulls? Finally, some guys start at a game, but do nothing, do they acquire more points at the end of the game then you do? Like when you start out like in exodus, you see 2 guys just standing there, and not moving, do they get credit more than you do if you wind up doing all the work?

Baby Boo Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Armor in halo reach is purely for aesthetic purposes. It has no impact whatsoever on health bar, shields, et cetera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Complete Loser Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 I think the armor actually make's you a bigger target which is another thing with your death's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuko 'Zarhamee Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 I think the armor actually make's you a bigger target which is another thing with your death's The hitbox for players is the same. Armor doesn't matter. Only Sangheli and Spartans have different hitboxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sikslik7 Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 I know how you feel, It happened to me a long time ago. I just got over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Director Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 -snip- Yeah, I feel your pain here. Bungie designed Halo Reach to be playable either offline or online, not both. When I first got Halo Reach, I didn't have an internet connection so I could only play offline. I got all the way up to Lt. Colonel (which at the time was the highest rank available). Then, when I finally got my internet, it demoted me down to corporal and took about 90% of the credits I had earned. My friend who I was playing with was actually more upset about this happening to me than I was lol but yeah, it did suck. I'd either be a Nova or really close to being a Nova by now if they hadn't done that. That isn't to say all hope is lost. While it is unlikely that 343i even knows how to promote you back to what you were offline (since Bungie is the one who put this delightful little feature in the game), you can get back to hero in just a week or two. Firefight is your friend in this regard, Score Attack in particular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightvamping Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 armor does nothing for your health or shields. same with your rank. you could just try to get back to hero online. i know it sucks but there isnt much xbox live support can do for you.
