Well, I'm level 16 as well, lost 5 stars but I don't really care, as I'm not worried about not being able to max this Season, especially if they give us 10 extra levels.

The previous Season BPs were the same , though. A player at 53999 / 54000 XP went straight to 0 / 9000 XP on weekly resets. No one cared about the loss of up to 53999 XP, for the simple fact that this wasn't very visible in the UI. And it wasn't a bug, if they would've kept that extra XP into consideration, players would've jumped up by almost 3 BP levels on each weekly reset.

My guess is that the "new" system is mostly updated UI and settings adjusted to linear instead of logarithmic advancement. it still relies on the previous Challenge Points internal currency. Maybe devs didn't have enough time to rebuild the entire system, or maybe they wanted to have the option to revert some of the changes easily and safely (avoiding forced level downs in case of more serious issues).

@DoYaSeeMe In previous BP (logaritmic), reset XP is fine since the next one is 9K, so easy that you don't really feel it.
But this time is different (linear) so it's painfull the get those star, especially for people who get it from weekly challenge and just play for fun (XP).
If you lost in average 6 star/week, time 11 weeks = 66stars = 6.6 level.
Respawn basically steal the star so force player to play even more or can't make it to max level then put money to level up.
Imagine how many stars they steal out of from million players which potentially a huge revenue for them.
A penny is not a lot, but million of pennies are huge money.

  Can you please address this to dev (not reset the star every week) so it's included in next week patch ? Thanks.

    Hi @asukojo,
    
    The team is aware of the issue with stars resetting, and they're currently investigating. Unfortunately I haven't heard a time frame on when that might be fixed, but I hope it won't be long.
    
    Thanks for being patient while the team is looking into it.

  @asukojo In both past and current battle passes, players lost up to almost one BP, regardless of being in the form of XP, Challenge Points or Stars. So no one is "stealing" anything (more than they did previously :P).
  
  The logarithmic advancement made sense back in the first Seasons, because they the fast leveling up encouraged players to get involved in
  grinding the difficult challenges as well. In the latter Seasons though, the challenges got dumbed down to a point that they were uninteresting or already done mid week and players were left only with the grind for 54000 XP to get to the next level. It really didn't feel like advancing at all sometimes, I even remember myself playing a bit less in the second half of the week, waiting for the reset.
  
  The current system puts more focus on the challenges and that's how a normal battle pass should be, different and more challenging than a daily login reward. And, judging by how many people reached level 15-16, I really doubt that the average completion rate for Season 7 BP will be any lower than for previous battle passes.
