Now that all the Leveling Weapons have been added...

Where does the game go from here weapon-wise? Well to create more replyability, especially since once you reach a high enough level, it just gets a tad boring. Since technically levels 80-100 are considered "Prestige" then prestiging is not an option. Instead, how about the option to "Ascend". When you ascend you get various drawbacks and perks:

Every ascension:

• You start back at level 1, losing all leveled up weapons
• You lose all weapon levels
• XP required for max level decreases (to reduce some of the agony)

Ascension 1:
You gain access to the Weapon Mastery Machine, this is a randomized machine located at the main menu that costs 200 gears to use. When you use the machine, the machine will spit out a random weapon. This means you unlocked the "Master" version of that weapon which is a unique final tier for each weapon that is rare to come by.
A list of Master weapons
The master tier is only unlocked when the weapon is unlocked and all previous tiers are unlocked, meaning that if you ascended, you must earn each weapon level again to have access to the master tier. Mastery weapons do not get taken away after ascension.

Ascension 2:
You get access to the Super Roulette, which is a daily roulette that gives you a chance for double XP, double weapon XP, or double gears for a specified amount of time.

Ascension 3:
You get three tank parts: Mastery Tread, Mastery Chassis, and Mastery Barrel. It also gives you the option to enable a golden glow on your tank. As an extra bonus, it gives you the final tank upgrade.

Ascension 4:
Golden weapon skins for all weapons. This makes all of your weapons stick out and shine. This is able to be toggled off.

Final Ascension:
A golden crown next to name as well as a custom name plate that can be modified. Different colors, fonts, and symbols can be used

I haven't posted a suggestion in a thousand years, but I just wanted to put it here before I posted it on the Steam discussion board, ya know, where there are actually people.

 

It takes hundreds of hours to fully level. I dont think anybody would want to start all over....

 

You wouldn't be forced to do it. Also I mention that each time you would do it, it would decrease the amount of XP needed to get to level 100, so it wouldn't be that torturous. Plus, I know I'd do it if I got epic final versions of each weapon.

 

i like the idea, as long as it wouldnt affect the leaderboards

 

I love this idea and would love to see them mess with this idea a bit...I have been talking about this with my friends how they should do something like this but the right way

 

This is a great idea! I think they should add more single player levels where you can unlock special weapons. Maybe they could have something where they have a world kinda thing where there are multiple worlds with a certain amount of levels, and at the end of each world, there is a boss level where if you win, you can unlock a special weapon. Maybe they could even make it so there a lots of special weapons and you randomly get one each time, so not everyone would have the same special weapons
