Earning swaps via a challenge of moderate difficulty is a great idea! Maybe one swap challenge a day?
But I think that the pay-to-skip is going to stay. Since BPs don’t expire, that means that when we have a handful of BPs, there are bound to be people that will pay to skip levels for that specific BP. Predatory, sure. But business is business. Personally, as long as they let us progress at a smoother rate, then it should be a non-issue.
[Edit]: Just re-read your post. In-game events to earn a swap is even better.
A surprise to be sure but a welcome one. We will watch your development with great interest.

Tbh, I just figured I wouldn’t be able to post a link.
Happy to see it and glad its coming as soon as it is. Now we wait for the change to be implemented for everyone to start complaining that its not enough, which of course it isn’t, and 343 has even said that this is only a first step.
I know it’s a stretch, but I really wish they wouldn’t have double xp stuff in battle passes. I don’t want to complete the battle pass to get more xp. I want to do it for the other customizations.
Lol it’s such a weak and unhelpful change. Clearly they need an overall xp progression system and xp per match, per kill, per score. Instead they are offering another kind of weekly challenge? It seems clear to me from player feedback that weekly challenges are killing people’s enjoyment of the game.
It is truly astonishing to watch the most popular game of the year shoot themselves in the foot after being warned again and again by the community that this wouldn’t work.
that kind system isn’t gonna just drop in a week or so in thats gonna be more post launch cause they kinda have to develop it and test it out
I was wondering why my weekly all reset, cool that they’re giving everyone the weekly reward
They changed the complete one match challenge so it only gives 50 xp. Are they for -Yoink!- real?
Presumably to make up for the fact you can now infinitely grind it out in bot matches. Originally, it would get replaced by a PVP only version eventually.
You’re right, it going from 1000 matches only doing those to max the BP to 2000 is so much better.

I don’t recall saying it was better, but go off, my friend.
1000 matches was never correct anyway. You actually earned less xp as the day went on, because the number of games required kept going up, and the exp amount didn’t really keep up with it. Only one I remember off the top of my head was 3 games giving 150 exp. So… 50 exp a game.
it’s still a bad move, but less of a bad move than you think it is.
It was 1000 if you only played till you exhausted the 3 play one matches a day.
My challenges just changed thankfully! Wahoo!
Well, if you’re only playing 3 games a day I don’t think you’re gonna max out the pass in a timely fashion no matter how much they give you.
And add in the xp boosts which now last an hour and you cut that number down as well
So, there’s still ridiculous challenges such as:
Headshot an enemy driver with a sniper rifle.
Destroy an Enemy Banshee
Get 5 Kills in the Shade Turret
Not to mention, they didn’t actually change the rate at which you get XP… Actually, they made it slower.
Before, the first 2 or 3 gams gave you 100xp per game.
After that it was every 2 games, then 150xp for every 3,4,5 games.
By the time you got to rank 10+ you would have played around 25-30 games, netting about a level or so in the BP
Right now I think you get less by playing the same amount of games, you just get it paid out at the end of the match.
Not only did they neglect most of our feedback, 343 literally made the system worse after feedback.

Back to leaving every match I play unless it’s the match type I need for my challenge. You really fixed this right up 343. :’)
Right, I’m sure it will take them time, but they’ve had weeks and weeks and weeks since the flights and the feedback was clear. They very clearly knew that players didn’t want this system but they forced it on the release anyways in the hopes that everyone would just get over it and hand over their money.
