I thought it was gonna go to “play 1 game for 100xp” which was gonna be a grind still. But instead they change it to 50xp per match? This is WORSE than before! It now takes 9 games to get the same amount of xp as 7 games took over the past few days. Do you guys really want the game to be DOA on the 8th? Because treating your players like chumps is a great way to do exactly that. Change it back to 100xp per game, it wasn’t even a good system but it’s better than this crap.
You’ll have to put that on reddit manually, this forums doesn’t allow links for some reason. (Rip old waypoint)
Edit2: the challenge change is a good thing and should have been that way to start. That’s not the issue. The issue is 343 halving the exp per match. This game should not feel like a chore, yet it currently is one. 10 games is already a long time between levels with no extra challenges, which will happen alot given we only hold 20 per week and they get pretty specific later on. So 20 games is honestly just a slap in the face, and I just don’t see how many of you are okay with that. We don’t all want to live on the game for 3-5 months daily just to finish the BP.
Edit3: I think I found a good way to frame my viewpoint. Yes, the easier challenges will help rank up quicker. But once those easy challenges are gone and the more specific ones come it’s gonna slow down alot. And if you go on a grind for them you can easily finish them all in a day or two. Once that happens you have to rely ONLY on that 50xp per match. That’s just not enough to progress through the BP at a steady and realistic pace. 100xp is still pretty low, but atleast it’s only 10 matches. Which in my experience last around 10-15 minutes, sometimes longer in BTB matches. So about an hour and a halfish per level roughly, I honestly don’t think that is unreasonable.
They change it to a 50 XP but it’s every match. By completing it one time it does not go up to complete two matches or three matches or four or even eight like I had hit the other day. It always stays at one so you get XP after each match. They made the challenges much easier as well causing you to be able to gain even more XP. I just went up two levels in about three games. But I did use a double XP which lasts for an hour now and completed additional challenges aside from the play one match.
I understand that some of the other challenges are easier, which is better, but you now MUST rely on them to make up lost exp. You only get more exp if you play over 20 matches a day if you run out of all the weeklies. This system feels fundamentally worse.
See, you were getting the “right amount” of exp with the boost on, that’s how it should be for everyone and not having to rely of scummy exp boosts just to get decent progression.
The main issue was progression was moving too slowly, and their response was to make it even slower… but hey at least we can see how slow it is every game now…
Listen up 343.
WE DONT WANT TO PROGRESS AT A SNAILS PACE
Barely gaining 1-2 levels a day from the very start is horrible design. It either needs to throttle off towards the end of the pass where later levels require more than earlier ones, or add another 100 levels of fluff filler levels with swaps and other minor rewards and increase the XP yield so we can feel like we are making meaningful progress on a regular basis and unlock a decent amount of cosmetics right out of the gate.
Hey, haven’t seen your name in years, nice to see an old name again. But 100% all that. Like it’s easier with the new easy daily, sorry, I mean “weekly challenges”(that can be completed in a couple days easy), but after those are gone it’s 20 matches to level up. One step forward and two steps back.
You got what you asked for. Xp per match? Done. And yet, there are those who still aren’t satisfied. What will it take? 1,000xp per match? It just doesn’t make sense to me.
I don’t understand how they made it less? The old way each time you completed the daily challenge the next would increase the games from 1 to 2 or 4 to 5. So you would have to play five games to get 100 experience. Now you can play five games and get 250 experience. If you were to play six games every day for a whole week you would come out way ahead on experience versus the old way.
First It was play 1 game for 100xp, that challenge refreshed 2-3 times before changing to play 2 so i could play 3-4 games and get 3-400xp.
Then it would go to play 2 games for 100xp, and again last for 2-3 times before changing. Which is the same as 1 game for 50xp as it is now
Then it would go play 3 games for 150xp. And again last a few times. And again is equivalent to 1 game for 50xp
So this new play 1 game for 50xp is less or equivalent to what i was earning before. So didnt fix the issue
When they first announced it i thought this was in addition to the current daily challenge system we had. So you would play 1 game and potentially get 150xp, 100xp from the old challenge and 50xp from the new, but as you played more the other challenge would become play 2/3/4 games whilst you would still have this 50xp challenge every game.
I don’t know I could be wrong. It is slow either way. It’s obvious they are trying to make money. They just need to find the balance where people are happy with what they get in return. I hope they find that soon.
