Giving us more match xp is not the way to fix the slow progression problems. Players NEED insentives to actually play the objective and play the game as intended. The current way xp is given does nothing but encourage players to activate a boost and then afk.
There is nothing in this update to give players the insentive to play the objective, get kills, carry the ball or flag. Nothing.
Please, 343, give us xp for:
Medals
Kills
Objective points scored
Wins
I get that the above might be harder to implement but this update we’ve just been given doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence that 343 know what they are doing in regards to xp.
I just wish we’d have some sort of article that actually responds to every criticism and suggestion the community has given but instead we get: "here, have some extra afk xp! "
They’re still trying to fix a system beyond repair
the only progression path in the game is the battle pass & because challenge-only progression exists they are trying to balance a reasonable grind with incentivizing purchasing challenge-swaps & tier skips
It just won’t work, performance-based progression should’ve been the default way to level and given their commitment to this flawed system I doubt we’ll ever see it.
I have to agree, the challenge system is built into the BP and the monetization strategy. It’s a fundamental flaw in the design of this game imo. Needs a complete overhaul to get a decent progression system out of it.
But, it would be improved by making the challenges skill based and not “do x in y gametype z times”. The game stops being fun when you’re forced to play it a certain way.
I don’t really think the change fixes this atall, but at least it means faster progression? Which isn’t the core problem imo but it is as they call it a bandaid.
