Sort of copying my post from Reddit, but here it is.

Using the XP chart from another post.

TITLE REQUIREMENT AMOUNT NEEDED XP
Practice Makes Perfection 1 Play any Matches 1 100
Practice Makes Perfection 2 Play any Matches 1 100
Practice Makes Perfection 3 Play any Matches 1 100
Practice Makes Perfection 4 Play any Matches 2 100
Practice Makes Perfection 5 Play any Matches 2 100
Practice Makes Perfection 6 Play any Matches 2 100
Practice Makes Perfection 7 Play any PvP Matches 3 150
Practice Makes Perfection 8 Play any PvP Matches 3 150
Practice Makes Perfection 9 Play any PvP Matches 4 150

Lets say you only have enough time in the day to play 10-12 matches (which isn’t an unrealistic amount for someone with a schedule)

Before, you’d get 750 from playing up until level 7 of the challenge (12 games)

Now you get 600 by playing 12 games

They made it worse. and still didn’t respond to feedback about distracting, RNG based Weekly (oh boy, I have to get Shade kills…, lets hope I get in, enemies stop by, and It doesn’t get destroyed

I was at least logging on once a day to get the 3 “play 1 match” challenges for 100xp each. Now they’ve cut that in half. I won’t be logging in anymore now except for when the weeklies reset, and even then, those are still frustrating. Leave it to 343 to -Yoink!- up a fix so simple.

makes it worse that this will clearly encourage reliance on the XP boosters.

It’s just disappointing and frustrating. The game is fun to play, but it feels like getting any positive changes is like pulling teeth.

Really, we knew from the first flight the Progression system would be problematic, and even within the Xbox family (see Gears 5) have seen extremely negative feedback to similar systems.

Watching 343 develop, defend, and then try to “fix” this battlepass system is almost as entertaining as playing the game itself… :rofl:

Surely they didn’t just drop the xp gained. What else changed? I thought they were adding a set per match xp gain as well?

Of course they made it worse. If they made it better, they wouldn’t sell as many boosts. 343 strikes again.

If they keep this up I will never buy another Infinite Battlepass again. This is past incompetence and is intentionally manipulative, they want you to buy level skips for 2 USD each.

I don’t get why Microsoft hates their loyal fans so much. Nintendo and Sony aren’t absolutely burying their flagship franchises in predatory microtransactions, so I don’t get why they feel the need to latch onto literally ALL of the most toxic practices in the industry and ruin decades of good will.

Yeah this update is a total joke. I only play maybe 10-12 matches a day like you’ve said and I will be getting less XP now :woman_facepalming: C’mon 343, what on Earth are you people doing? It isn’t this hard to make a leveling system, people have been doing it for years.

The sad thing about it is that there is a good game here that many people are going to be turned off from because of the battle pass antics.

Same can be said about them developing and defending their “player collision”, “friendly fire”, “radically different and bad HUD” and “no heavy vehicles on map” decisions. Truly baffling.

Ah yes… All of those solutions in Search of a problem :rofl:

Wait, maybe I misunderstood. So all daily challenges have been replaced with 50pts/match?

Wait I haven’t had a chance to log in yet? Did they completely remove the old dailies instead of keeping them lumped in with the new ones?

Good find. They suck so hard it’s kinda funny.

18

Yes. Which sounds better in paper but comes out to less xp unless you play a ton in a day.

Yeah, I thought they were adding this gain on top of the other daily tasks, not replacing. The break even point is about 20 matches. Which I have been playing that many the last 3 nights, but this is a just released game, that will settle down in the near future to 20-30 per week, not per day.

Well -Yoink!- - anyone know what the old Practice Makes Perfection level 10, 11, and 12 requirements and payouts were?

Would be interesting to see at what point the new system makes it ‘better’.
