I feel like you will inherently complete some weekly challenges just by playing a game or two. Even two games a day will net you half a level, plus the completion of say 3 weeklies (around 200xp each) You’ll be sure to gain a few levels each week even if you only play 3 days a week. Top that off with a double xp boost whenever you play.
IMO Progression is fine for BPs now (weekly challenges still need a tweak) and potentially a little too fast (to be determined when seasons are 3 months long)
The lack of merit based earning means there is no reason to play the objective. Just play Slayer then you might say but there are still challenges the need objective games, Even if you make them need to complete the objective once you compete the minimum you need to earn the challenge there is no reason to keep trying to win.
give us XP based on our performance in game. An idea could be to grant bonus XP based on your placement/score. If I’m at the top of the leader board I want it to be worth it.
They made a fun game that was not near finished in terms of gamemodes, progression systems, co-op and many other things like customization and instead they patched it up and made it cost lots of money to look even semi appealing, Halo 5 was bad with customization but this is a whole other level
Considering the season last until May, and it doesn’t expire i think how the XP system is now, its ok!
i have not used boosts and have been playing 4-5 matches each day and im lvl 85… fearing i will be finished to early
The way this game is set up now, I just have to be present in 1 game and get the 300 points, I don’t have to do anything. The worst is the more you play, the less and less you get. This game does not care how much I do in a match or how little I do. The sole motivator, if you can call it that, is just get to the end of this battle pass. This is the most sad Halo release I have ever experienced. It’s pathetic. It’s such an empty experience.
PROGRESSION IS WAY TOO SLOWWWWWWWW — why did 343 think a progression system only based on challenges was a good idea?? nothing i do in a match counts for crap. … bring back the halo3 progression system and keep it simple!!
Didn’t the (original) halo3 also just award you XP for finishing a match? I thought XP for kills, medals, etc. was only after Halo3 and only by MCC it was brought to H3, H2 and CE.
And to be honest: i like that in socials you are just granted XP for playing matches and not how well you play. There are already to much complaints about social being full of try hards, lets not incensitice more people to do that.
For Ranked i can imagine you getting XP based on performance, but even there it is tricky. If you grant XP for kills, you will get that people start to ignore the objective and just go for the kills. And if it’s only to cary the oddball for instance, you get that people want their own carrier to be killed, so that they can be the carrier…
Yeah I’ve resigned to the fact that, unless they give away something actually cool for the weekly reward, I’m not gonna bother. And so far it’s all been bland and basic stuff, nothing really cool
I imagine we will get more EXP later after another rework - but the band aid fix appears to be okay (at least for generic EXP for the battle pass progress). I play 2-5 days per week and am over half way done - even after losing play days due to holidays and kid colds over the last 6 weeks.
Yes at most we should be able to level multiple levels in a day if we took the time to grind plus there should be an option to grind. THEY NEED TO MAKE THIS UPDATE NOW and give us an option to boost EDIT: THE IS NO -Yoink!- WAY I CAN FINISH THE EVENT IN A WEEK I AM ONLY AT 10 AND NOT 11 FOR 2 HOURS
tell me about it, last night i bought the R6S battle pass. it uses the same 1000xp per tier that H Inf. does and in less than 3.5 hours I’m almost to tier 6
The process through the Battle Pass is not friendly towards players that want to play competitive. This ranking system with rewards is designed around the casual player. Sweaty tryhard players like myself are going to get teams of four and just run through players on “social” playlists because that’s where the progress towards the Battle Pass is.
Say a miracle happens and I have a full day to play games. I’ve only been playing halo for a few hours, and now I’m earning only 50 experience per match… Where is my incentive to keep playing for that day?
Just like a lot of people our time is limited, restricting the experience for a few games eventually limiting you to 50 experience is definitely a bandade like they said.
Looking forward to this being fixed, especially with the lack of content in the battle pass.
