The new change in xp gain does not do anything to improve the over cumbering progression. It would take 2000 matches to complete the battle pass in it’s current state, which is way too much. I understand that the devs are planning on changing the progression even more but a quick improvement would be to make xp gain at least a bit faster by giving 150-200 xp per game instead of just 50.

I agree.
At first I thought, "Okay, not the WORST thing that could happen, but then I realized that not only is there a “premium pass” that costs $10 per season (however long those will last) but 4 out of every 5 levels you gain only unlock an actual piece of useable in-game content if you PAY for that “premium pass”
Feels slimy. 0/10 progression system
Are we going to add anything new to the conversation, or just keep yelling at the clouds?
Tbh, I’m good either way. Damn clouds.

No, it’s fast enough. We don’t need to unlock everything in the first month. I do think the level unlocks could use a but more content though. Unlocking a single challenge swap is like working a full shift at a terrible fast food restaurant and getting a coupon for a free item of the dollar menu as your pay check.

Exactly this. It just feels like “congrats you’ve unlocked nothing this level” until you reach 11,16, 21, etc.

I don’t play every hour of every day, and the recent update guarantees I can get at least one level, even doing ‘Bot Bootcamp’ by just playing 6 matches in a 24 hour period. More if I can do some of the weekly challenges. So the ‘2000 matches’ bit is a complete exaggeration. I do agree that the content inside the pass is a bit mediocre, but in terms of what we started with vs what we have now is by and far an improvement. When the MCC collection came out, it was in a rather dismal state as well, and at the end of all things, it did improve in a way that it did a complete 180. If you don’t like it, put your pre-order money elsewhere until it gets to the point where Infinite fits your standards. Speak with your wallet instead of this repetitive echo chamber, or at least condense it into one thread.
The 2000 games is probably not taking into account the weekly challenges which also grant xp, and then you also have the double xp given through the pass. I’m not sure the total xp that can be given in a week of challenges though. I’m glad we get 6 months before the next and at least these passes never end.
it’s also now even more of a participation trophey if you don’t care about challenges or have the weeklies done… you can sit in a match and STILL get your 300 200 200 100 100 or whatever it is.
Yeah those single item tiers need to go the way of the Dodo or that one extinct bird from Reach…
also if your gonna give us fillers like exp boost and challenge swaps how about Giving us SOMEHTING ELSE TOO like 3 items per tier because you included one of those ‘fillers’?
