Double Xp boosts got a silent change

Double Xp now starts at 40 mins instead of 60 mins

You thought we wouldn’t notice, but we did, eagles eyes remember

If true, that’s pathetic. Raise shop prices and drop XP boosts. Throw Bonobo on top of that. 343 hates us confirmed. We are almost right back to square 1 again. 343 learned nothing. It’s getting borderline impossible to be a Halo fan these days. There is no need for all this aggressive backpedaling

Yeah the shop prices creeping back up to Day 1 like the Double Xp boosts going back down is utterly ridiculous, like we’re not blind we can see this happening

Man.
I need to find Rick and jump to the alternate reality where Halo stayed good and didn’t collapse after 2012

I hope for their sake it’s some kind of a weird bug. If not, it’s actually really shocking how (1) they didn’t have the guts to mention it explicitly, and (2) it’s such a nonsensical change.

It speak volumes about their principles as a company if it’s intentional.

:sob: Nothing like getting off work to see if something somewhat decent happened in Halo.

Really? Looks like I know what I am going to check on.

Oh yeah, I just hate when a minor bug goes and edits a specific value from a specific line of text in my code that hasn’t been edited since launch.

I severely doubt it’s a bug. It’s likely related to price increases. I’d love to know who thought “We are losing players and aren’t making enough money, so raise prices and drop XP boost time to make up for the loss” like that works outside of a fictional world. They are scalping us like we are gas prices, except supply and demand does not work in a digital market where there is no demand nor limited supply

Good thing I hit Lv 100 on Season 2 a few days ago then….

I suppose too many were burning through their battle passes. Quick, get the nerf hammer!

are you sure? I just popped 2 back to back to finish off the season and they were both still 60 minutes.

Then there’s me sitting at lvl 68 who hasn’t spent a second using 2XP because it’s really not that necessary.

I just started a 2xp boost. Mine still reads 59:59. I think you just had a glitch. A bad one, but still a glitch. Either that or I am the glitched one and still have 60 minutes.

Does it say that it will last 40 minutes when you activate it?

EDIT: It says 60

No point in holding them, since their only use is leveling up battle passes

I have no idea how the EXP boosts work in this game, but is it possible that old boosts are 60 and new ones are 40?

I actually think it is a bug heh, but not one that everyone encounters. Mine are still 60mins, I just checked.

How much do you play? I only play during fractures and I’m 51 because of boosts.
