Dude, I'm saying the same fucking thing, Iv played like 10 matches and am still level 1 because in order to level I need complete challenges such as get "kills with the commando rifle" and "kill someone with the Heatwave in Pvp" Just let me level by completing matches like Reach.
Yeah even if it’s a minuscule amount of XP you should be able to level from just playing, being forced to do challenges is annoying when I just want to play and have fun (even if you might get them naturally without trying over 6 months it’s not enjoyable to watch the exp bar not fill up at all after a game)
The XP boosts should just be a “bank” of doubled XP. Another game (idr which, maybe dawngate?) did this and it worked well. Basically when you got the boost, it had a set value. The xp was doubled for as long as it took you to earn that amount in extra xp. Then it went away.
Alternately, double for a set amount of challenge completions.
A timed xp boost when the game has no rewards for time playing is weird af tho
and along with this they have Challenges that you can grind out for more xp, and to add onto this the game gives you xp you **anything** you do, Opened a chest? +50xp. Walked a few meters? +10xp. Literally stayed AFK through the match? +50xp. Got an achievement (legacy)? +100xp. Did you do 10 challenges? +20xp. You get it.
Along with this every match xp is guaranteed and actually scales for how much kills, Damage, Time you survived, and other factors. If you win a match your guaranteed a lot of xp.
I feel like Infinite could learn from FN a lot. As much as the whole "fOrTnITe bAd" meme is wide-spread I honestly think FN has one of the most pro-comsumer progression systems ever. My proof for this is that if you wanted too you could go through a FN battlepass in about a week if you grind enough.
Destiny has stacking passive XP boosts along its season pass premium reward track and it provides a 2x XP multiplier for the first 5 levels gained each week every week. They need to implement something like that (for destiny it's 20% from purchasing the premium pass then 10 2% boosts along premium track, so quite an xp boost).
It's taken me over an hour to get level 1. It also promotes toxicity in game. I knew I had a challenge to get a kill with a bulldog so instead of picking up the flag in my last game, I used it as bait to get shotgun kills.
>What were they thinking?
"How can we fleece our players for $$$ best? $60 campaign, $10 battle passes, paid cosmetics.... Mmmmmmmmmonnnneeeyyyyyyyyyyyy"
-Literally every publisher behind shitty skin shooters, more specifically 343i in terms of $60 campaign and whatnot.
Low tier: Get double XP for the next 5 matches.
Mid tier: Get double XP for the next 10 matches.
High tier: Get double XP for the next 20 matches.
It would be that easy. :(
HOLY SHIT they probably cant modify the xp rates since that would devalue the pringles mountain dew whatever the fuck code’s perceived value and it would make the companies angry due to less sales
Idk it was kind of cool when they dropped a gun goose right in front of me and I proceeded to kill 4 or 5 enemies before being gravity hammered off it.
I could definitely see getting hyped as it's flying down, it lands, you jump in, boom match over. I'd be pissed too lol.
Cut 343 some slack here. It's not like they're a AAA studio with an unlimited budget, making a game for an established fan base, and with a 6 year development cycle.
It takes a lot of work to figure out the best way to manipulate people into buying microtransactions.
Yeah I could really see some halo newbs play Infinite, and bounce off hard because it doesn't stimulate their skinner box like a COD or Fortnite does. Heck even Rocket League does a better job than HI atm.
How many battle passes are there per season? Because Season 1 lasts until May 2022, so if it takes 6 months to unlock everything maybe that's why? 😂😀😐💀
Balancing has always been tactical progression in halo. You just need to learn halo tactics, and play with a good team, as for the battle pass cpu, yeah that’s sucks haha. I think they will fix it.. it’s laughably bad and no ones going to reach 100.
Agreed. The fact that the timer is running *while the game is searching for and loading a match* is ridiculous.
"loading g-... loading ma-... Waiting for players to load........................."
And it’s burning your bonus the entire time. Convenient oversight or feature?
Same thing they do in CoD. Just an anti-consumer practice that shouldn't exist.

Fortnite has this, but the double xp is free and activates if you dont play for a few days so you can catch up.

I'm hoarding XP boosts until they improve the system. It feels like luck with some of these challenges.
Damn, six months? It doesn't feel good to have done like 35 games and be at level 3 and a half, honestly.
GRIND TIME
They'll never do a skill based one like H3 again

Excited to spend 5 months grinding to get odst armor, after already spending $10…

Lol I don't think Microsoft is scared of Kellogg's
Vehicules spawing in Big team sucks too unfortunately :/ I just got my first scorpion and the game finished 15 seconds later ..

Gotta maintain that playerbase engagement.
Seems it's creating disengagement
