Reduced Xp

Has anyone noticed how much less Xp we’re gaining from the games modes. Firefight no longer gives the 20g Xp (legendary w/Xp boosters) it used to since firerefight has mixed “heroic difficulty, and legendary Xp earnings”, so mythic can permanently stay, however even mythic does not have the same earnings it used to. Even arena is suffering from reduced Xp.

I’m not sure that’s true.
I’ve played plenty of Mythic pre & post patch. The XP seems the same.

Remember the XP you earn is also based off of your position in the scoreboard. Same thing goes for speed & survival bonuses, it all ties in.
If you’re dead last you will receive less XP than someone in first place.
Obviously completing all 5 rounds also helps.

As for Arena, same general rules apply however Arena usually gives a silly amount of XP anyway.

If it helps Halo 5 will be Double XP all of October to celebrate the games five year anniversary.

I’ve been playing Mythic WZ all day score high on top of Leaderboards w/ gold boosters on, and I tend to get 10-15k Xp per match, a lot less than what I used to get before the patch. (25-30k Xp)

I’ve been playing Mythic WZFF without XP boosters (I’m 152 so I just play with friends to help them). and I’m getting 15k a match for a top placement. I’m not sure how you’re getting less than that??

Might sound ridiculous but are your boosts for XP? Because you should be earning way more than what you are.

I saved up 300 legendary XP boosts for the final level (which I’m finally on), so all I’m playing at the minute is Mythic FF, with Legendary XP boosts. The boosts for me are a flat 11,255, regardless if we complete round 5, or fail round 1… but if I at least make it to round 5, I’ll get around 25k per game, up to almost 28k if we win.

Are you perhaps referring to the summer when 343i had enabled double XP for everything?

Yeah, it took me a week just to get from 90 to 100 because of arena.

I haven’t noticed them drop. In fact I noticed the increase… I’ve played both mythic and roic firefight. As someone who usually finished toward the bottom, my xp stays fairly consistent… and i’ve noticed an increase in XP since they changed it. Definitely happy about it… can’t wait to see what happens next month with the double XP…

I have noticed the reduced XP myself recently, even throughout the beginning of November. Speaking of WZ Firefight: Normally I got an average of 15,000 for one successful match of Mythic WZ Firefight whenever I finished on 1st place, but now I’m starting to get at least half of that (hence 7,500) for complete matches. Heroic WZ Firefight has the same XP in my case too. Its frustrating since I am close to 149 and I honestly should of been there already.

Sent a message to Snickerdoodle (343) about the xp problem. Here it is.

Hey Ninjaruu! I chatted with our Halo 5 sustain team and removing the Double XP from Mythic FF was an intentional choice. It now pays out in “standard XP” amounts but that those amounts are still more than regular FF. Sorry for the confusion and the lack of communication about this!

Hope this clears things up guys :slight_smile:

That really sucks it will drastically slow down the grind to 152 and is not worth it since mythic ff only give a 3k increase for a much harder game

Idk because i use legendary xp boost but yeah when i forget to put 1 on i do notice a change

Ive noticed it too, as I play pretty much exclusively on mythic ff with legendary boosts. When I would get to round 3-5 my xp used to be around 20,000-25,000 now I’d say its more like around the 17,000-18,000 range. I swear they reduced it for sure.

they did reduce mythic wzff exp
