Re-Generation is just an identification / verification that you've been through certain challenges and using various types of weapons. If you are not really into challenges or achievements, feel free to not regen and just enjoy the game because there are a few challenges that you do need to complete to regen on certain gens that are quite annoying and fun-killing.
Assume you mean L50 on Gen1? Go ahead and regenerate if you'd like. You'll be reset on your challenges - but unlocked Titans and your Burn Cards will remain. You will be a Gen2 pilot with then Gen2 'badge' next to your GT in the lobby. You'll earn experience points at 1.2x over your previous gen (I think... might just be 1.1x at that level, I can't remember...) which means you'll progress to L50 as a Gen2 pilot that much faster. And you'll be setup with a whole new list of challenges to complete if you want to try for Gen3. Note that the game kinda plays with you a bit and asks like 4 or 5 times before you actually regenerate. If you do... just enjoy the graphics and be reborn with all new challenges. Congratulations pilot!
I'm Gen8 atm and I can tell you the beautiful thing about doing the regen challenges is it forces you to sometimes play different than you are used to and use different weapons you otherwise wouldn't. As a little bonus it increases the maximum number of burn-cards you can keep at one time (At Gen10 you can keep up to 100 BCs). You might even be surprised how fun a weapon or a certain move can be once you learn how to use it efficiently.
^This Doing all the different Generation is satisfying and it makes you experience the game in completely different ways.
I totally agree! If you want to regenerate you are "forced" to use weapons / tactics which you otherwise would never try out. It makes you more all round as you experience every tiny part of the game. Some challenges are a bit annoying (like Gooser of All I do is win) but once you succeed, enormously satisfying!
Regeneration is less about Prestige and showboating and more about learning and becoming a student of the game.
You should at least do it once. The requirement challenges are fun to a point. Plus you are just wasting all that EXP.
If you're going to continue to play you should regen, it adds a lot more playtime to a game if you are like me not leveling up bores me very quickly
I went for it, 3 evenings later I'm gen 2 level 34. It's not that bad honestly, you'll get to level 18 probably within an evening or two, and at level 18 you'll have a pretty good range of unlocks; class slots, Shotty, 101, R97, stim/power cell and satchel charges. I had reservations about regen ing too, but the only worry now I'll have is people will actually expect me to know how to play with a higher level gamer tag lol...
Late to this thread (sorry...) Do it, I'm currently Gen 6/level 50 and not only does it push you to be better and yank you out of your comfort zone it has it's benefits in a sense of new accomplishment and kinda strips you naked early on (every time!). Leveling up comes faster and you just keep getting better (assuming you try...). I don't like being limited and in that try to master ALL weapons and mods that come my way. I remember my first Gen-up and all the hesitation as my finger hovered over the button. TOTALLY worth it, and do not hesitate anymore. See you on the field of battle, D.
I'm currently stuck trying to get all the charge rifle crit hits to regen to gen 5, but I'm not sweating it. They'll come, slowly... But bit by bit. 3 out of 30 at present lol. If I get a chance opportunity at the charge rifle shot, yeah sure. But mainly the past few nights I've been rocking nothing but the kraber and working on unlocking the other titan weapons I have not yet done since I really really rushed to 4/50. These, to me, are more fun things to do at present. When I get all those hits in, I'll regen!
I remember the charge rifle (now 6).... I finally started to get up high late in a match when it was a target rich environment, and watch for smoking/burning titans and then finish them off. Your right to savor the moment when you can as it really goes fast and I look forward to "baby deer effect" when I regen as it brings out the raw skill and separates the men from the boys (now where did I put that pacifier...?) Best to you, D. P.S. Word to the wise...., start refining yur "gooser" skills, if u haven't already.
I've finally made gen 10!! Due to the 350% experience boost you get, I made level 10 in my first match
circumcised ALL in the same day,.......IT"S COLD AND BRIGHT OUT HERE.....LET ME BACK IN!!!! AAAAAAGGGGHHH!!!! Happy for you, someday I wanna grow up (no,...I don't) and be just like you. Best regards, D.
