... two days ago. I didn't find it harder than any other season, easier in fact.Anyone else?

@EdwardDLuffyWell, If we are talking pure numbers, I'm probably ahead of where I was at this point, last season. However, I know that that is because of the Double XP time that we had, plus the free 10 levels. Without those things (Which is how next season will probably happen), I don't think I would be as far.And raw numbers aside, I'm having much less fun leveling up the pass this season. The main reason being, this one is so challenge heavy and I feel like if you're not doing the challenges/playing everyday, It doesn't feel like you're making as much progress on it.If I'm being completely honest, I still prefer the previous seasons structure for the battle pass. First of all, I felt like I didn't have to play everyday to make progress. I felt like I could take more breaks from the game, which is a healthy feeling, at least for me. I don't like a game feeling like a second job, Which is how it's felt for me this season. Second of all, I felt like I could just more focus on having fun than doing particular challenges, in the old system. Challenges for me last season were something that feel like a nice addition to my levels. Like an added bonus. Whereas, this season, they are the primary way to level up and I just don't really like that. I like the other system where no matter what legend I played or weapon I picked up or what have you, that I felt like every game I was making real progress towards the pass, because it was more based around XP gain.So, all of this being said, I'm not really looking forward to season 8 if we keep this system, as is. Especially, because more than likely, we won't be having the double XP week and the free levels, going forward. So... Yeah. That's where I'm at with it.Obviously, this is just my experiences and opinion on the matter, I know there are people who disagree, that like this new battle pass system much better, I just happened to not be one of those people. I did try to give it a fair go, we've had it for weeks now, even with tweaks, and I just don't like it. There's not much else I can really say about it, other than that.

@RustedYodanobody said it was hard, long and hard aren't the same lol, it's too much hassle if you have to play everyday and do dailies, i left wow because of this

@E9ine_ACi'm saying it takes too much time, 50k for a level is way too much@hayhornot true, i tried and 2x a week aren't enough@BaldWraithSimpit's week 2 or 3 on fn, if you try to troll, at least do it smartly@pastaclown"Players like me who used to power through 12 levels in 2 days then ignore Apex for the rest of the week, now have to open up Apex every single day to spread the work out across the week." exactly, that's why i don't bother anymore, i'm not coming back to apex unless they revert it

@pastaclownFor what it's worth, I agree with both you and @NaRnIaaaAs I've said before, it's not about difficulty, it's about what feels fun for me and what doesn't. Personally, I was enjoying myself much more in the old system, as I felt every match (even a bad one) contributed more to my BP than now, because that system was more focused on XP.With this system, every time I have a match and I don't get something done for a challenge, I just feel like I'm wasting my time. Yeah, there is still XP in this system, But if you're not completing challenges, that's 50k XP for every level. So, it just doesn't feel great to me.And, also, as I've said before, I'm pretty sure that I'm currently a higher BP level than I was at this point in time, in previous seasons, but that probably has a lot to do with the 10-free battle pass levels and that double XP week we had. Without those things, I'm not 100% sure where I would be. And since we probably won't be having those in season 8, If we keep this current system as is, I don't think I'm going to be too thrilled to play Apex.I guess we'll have to wait and see.

@hayhor it's faster and easier in the sense that the daily challenges don't take long and will fill a level for you. Not to mention we've had an entire week of double EXP and 10 free levels.It takes longer in the sense that 50K EXP a level is through time alone, 277.7 minutes for one level, or nearly 5 hours. Players like me who used to power through 12 levels in 2 days then ignore Apex for the rest of the week, now have to open up Apex every single day to spread the work out across the week.I've spent the same amount of time playing every weekly reset, and comparatively, previous seasons were better, especially since after finishing the initial 12 levels, I could open up Apex freely if I was bored enough. This new season rewards me with 4 measly BP levels on the first day, and 1 BP level every day subsequently, while doing the same thing, AKA, playing for the objective / daily and quitting the game once said objectives have been reached. Edit: Proposed Changes:2.5k EXP per star. One solid high-performance win should be enough to set you over, or nearly over an entire BP level. The point of playing Apex is to play Apex, not grind for the BP. Current BP state incentivizes grinding out the objective rather than winning the game, and it should be the other way around, where winning games feeds into grinding out your BP. Reworked challenges for less clunky, more accessible per-game objectives. No more reviving / respawning teammates, no more objectives centered around crafting or looting CPs, no more objectives about kills with CP weapons, no more loot X legendary item, etc. etc. Kills / Knockdown objectives should be delegated by ammo type, not specific weaponry, with the primary ammo types (Heavy / Light / Energy) changing on a per weekly basis. Damage objectives should be delegated to all ammo types. Increased objective rewards, generalized / accessible objective requirements, increased objective requirements. No more play X character have teammates use Y ability Z times. Reworked to X class uses tactical / ulti Y times. No more hit X targets with Bangalore smoke grenade, no more "Kill a target while they're inside Caustic gas", no more, "scan X traps as Bloodhound".

@EdwardDLuffy I'm almost done. This is the earliest ever for me. You will notice people stopped the complaining so others have realized it too. Even without the free levels it would have been easy.

@EdwardDLuffy That is because they mostly kept the star system but reverted it to the old leveling length. It wont be any different other then new star system.

@EdwardDLuffy I still think my favorite BP skins are the wingman BP skins attention to detail and Precision Caliber. I love the visuals and audios they make when you get kills. The steam punk vibe from them is awesome as well. They seem like they came from a Jules Verne novel.

Have not completed it yet (should in a few days)

@EdwardDLuffy I've not played a whole lot this season, and my BP level is 45, if I put in some effort, this will be the easiest BP season, for sure.

@OldTreeCreeper Just passed 1,000 kills for the season 🙂

Have stepped up quite a bit with Mr Rev. A session for me used to be 15ish kills but now it's between 25 and 30.
