- "XP challenges now award players one star for each 10,000XP earned."So from what I can immediately read about the new changes, this is actually going to INCREASE the grind for Battle pass levels outside of challenges?Every 10k exp is one star? Meaning I literally need 100k exp for one battle pass level? What in the actual hell? Can we please get some clarification on this or someone that understands this better? This sure as hell sounds like an overcomplication and an increase to grind than before. Or do I just not know / remember / understand how much player exp I get after a match??

Nah mate I got 4 wins today (among other matches I played) did all my dailies and a couple of weeklies and I'm only at lvl 3. Its insanely slower than it was before.

@Monhulio Is it actually 100k for a level? If it is, Respawn, what are you doing!? Do you want to make your game frustrating and unplayable?

I was right, this feels freaking horrible. Normally when I start a season I get a bunch of levels real nice and quick. Now I am grinding exp for a measly 1 star that isn't even a level. What the F@3K guys? Why?

@MonhulioYeah, it takes 100K XP (on its own) to get *one* BP level. Not only that, but some of the really grindy challenges this season give you only 5 stars (half a BP level) at most. It's ridiculous.Now, I can't speak on how the new XP boosts make that all feel, because I don't feel comfortable buying the BP myself, as it stands right now. So, you'll have to ask someone who's bought the premium one if the XP Boosts feel like they help or not.

@PogeNoobPretty much. And, you know, I wouldn't mind so much if this game didn't monetize the way it does. The regular boxes, expensive event boxes, $18 for a single Legendary skin, $10 for a single (Event) Epic, etc.This game already charges out the wazoo for everything, so basically forcing you to buy levels on top of everything else is scummy.Yes, I get it. "A company needs to make money" and all that. But, a line should be drawn somewhere. And this seems that be that line for a lot of people, myself included. I have supported this game in many ways (I bought all the legends with coins when I first started, I've bought skin and pack bundles, etc). But, I *refuse* to buy levels. I also won't buy full priced skins with my own money (I only ever bought one, once during Aftermarket, because my friend gave me the coins as a gift)So, yeah. I will never personally buy expensive skins and I will never buy levels with *anyone's* money. And, because the way the S7 pass is built, I'm not buying it *at all* (unless they fix/revert it), because I don't think I can finish it on my own. Hell, at this point, I'm not even sure I want to keep *playing* anymore, let anyone *buy* anything. I'm very unhappy about this.All I can suggest is for people to put their money where their mouth is. You think the pass is crap? Don't buy it and definitely don't buy levels. Hell, if you want to take it one step further, don't buy *anything* until they fix this garbage. Show them that they can't just walk all over us.

they just want more money from us, thats all. don't pay for a bp Lvl and after two seasons and enough people not buying it, they may think it through...

@s0apt0ken That is why it was rather confusingly explained and am asking for clarification, it's not entirely clear. They said "simplify" but if what was written was clear, then this would bring us closer to season 1 battle pass exp grind... Only worse...... Sure we have challenges that give stars, but damn if thats not horrifying to see.

@II-LAZZARUS-II
Really want clarification before I go calling * myself. I could totally be misunderstanding and talking out my * here, so its good to hear it straight from the horses mouth. Or we will find out tonight / tomorrow when it goes live.

@MonhulioI'm not 100% sure but i did hear about a 50% xp.boost when you have the premium battlepass.. if i rememeber correctly the previous battlepasses was about 12.000 a lvl then 24.000 then 50.000 for the remaining week.

If the xp is doubled then it will take about 2-3 matches to get a star.

I think if you do the challanges there wont be much differance in the amount of time you need to complete, compared to the other battlepasses.

Again im not sure. I have to wait till tommorow to check it out☹️

I guess their marketing dep. calculated that too many people are finishing their BPs and buying new ones without spending any real money so they decided that you are gonna either grind all day every day or pay them some cash.
