Did 343 lower XP payouts?

For the past two days in Heroic FF, I haven’t gotten a single game where I would get 10K or more XP. It’s been between 9.3 - 9.8K XP. This seems unusual considering I’ve been using the same XP boost card for months that usually gives out between 9.8 - 10.5K XP.

The amounts that I have been getting for the past two days are usually amounts that I’ll get when I get into a JIP game where I don’t play the entire game.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

I assume you are using the rare XP boost. Since I use the same req I noticed that as well. I was beginning to wonder if 343 was trying to slow progress to 151. It’s been awhile since I’ve got any ultra rare/legendary XP boosts as well.

Yeah, I use the rare XP boost. It would be disappointing if they did lower the amount. If they didn’t want people grinding Warzone for XP, then they shouldn’t have made their damn progression amounts so ridiculous.

I don’t believe so, I think they even raised them a while back.

Ultra rare XP boosts don’t exist…

Xp rates are terrible – xp needed very high.

My current level is 4 million xp till next.
At 20,000 - 60,000 / hour.
About 80 hours for one level. !?!!!?
!!! Over 300 games !!! (Guess this is…sparta!)
.
I’ve played games where 13 million xp is max level.
The xp rates of 100,000 - 250,000k / hour.
At a high level^ (less xp at low levels)^

Halo 5?
The grind is ridiculous.

Isn’t there an element of performance built into those boosts too? Good game = more, worse game = less?

Well kinda… Heroic firefight was a “featured” playlist and now it’s just a playlist as turbo is the “featured” playlist. Featured playlist payout slightly more RP and XP.

Yes, since it is no longer featured, it pays 500 less xp which explains your gap. Did just get 12.6k xp with an uncommon jackpot boost.

Could be this. Has anyone compared the XP payouts in a regular game of Team Arena to the one in the new Community Playlist? Or if the difference from Warzone to Warzone Turbo was changed. Could have some sort of impact.

I’m not well versed in exactly how much XP the boosts get, but hopefully here I’ll know. Just reached 140 yesterday, so I’m about to start the grind.

You seem to forget that Gambit: Medal Count (Warzone) exists.

The boost itself is always the same amount, but other factors like a good or bad game will affect how much you get. That being said, even with good games I’m still getting less amounts.

That could be the reason, but I was getting normal amounts for the past week with turbo in the playlist. The lowered amounts just recently started happening. I guess I can only hope that it goes back to the way it was once turbo is removed again.

Maybe why I don’t recall an Ultra rare Gambit: Medal Count XP boost.

I know that that exists, but there is no core XP boost ultra rare.
