Re: BattlePass Too Easy or Too Hard?
It's not easy. I'm on level 27 and already 5250xp is needed for one point (ten points / level). Requirement is getting bigger on every level so it will be quite difficult to grind points on higher levels.

Battlepass requirements are in a good place and no changes needed. My opinion.
- @DigitalHype depends if you have premium, playing Coop\PvE or only have a few hours a week due to RL
a season pass should not be designed for the player base and not minority of hardcore players
that's my opinion
also, EA knows how a good season PASS can work when you look at Apex Legends
- you have dailies you can do
- you have weekly
- every weekly stays open till the end of the season pass
so tomorrow we will see and then we will know if the weekly’s stays the whole season and if the needed XP points are connected to the season pass lvl (or if we get an reset) - @CountSero The OP is saying its too easy. I'm disagreeing with the OP and title of the post. It sounds like you also disagree with the OP.
- @DigitalHype Yes, and i also disagreeing with you^^
I think it needs more balance because only if you a "very active player" you will get a good grind
the increase of XP per point is ihmo to high, also it shouldn’t increase overall,l it should be fixed XP for every lvl point you need
to finish lvl 31 of the season pass you need at least 5 games with an average of 12k XP per game
my average is 15k so i still need 4 games for one lvl,
so i need to spend close to 2h hours to get one lvl and it will be increasing
to get lvl 30 i have grinded around 1Million XP in one week @CountSeroif they reset it tomorrow and the XP Mission goes back to the initial XP requirement and you can repeat that every week, then I think it is fairly easy because you can get 70K (10K per day) from just playing 1 round per day plus whatever XP you get for that round. It starts at 2K per point, so 10K daily is half of one BP level. I know it goes up, but the 10K daily is probably 3 levels on its own (for the week). If the weeklies are 4.9, and you earn 12K for one round daily (3 levels per week), that is basically 11 levels weekly for 12 weeks = 132 levels.
That would seem to make it too easy. I was assuming getting the rare items would be a reward for the effort. This is a participation pass.- @Adamonic 70k in one round? mate several people here in the forum talking about an average between 10k-20k (excluding the daily 10k)
So, you are rather the exception, or a farmer or a camper or what so ever
If you play normal you are far from 70k (even if you include the 10k daily)
Also, you forget that there is an increase of XP for each lvl point and we don’t know if there is an reset of the XP for each lvl point.
And I doubt that DICE will do it but let’s wait a little bit more than 3h and we all know in which direction it is going I would also like to know how to get 70k from one round. Just camping won't give anybody 70k.
Ok, I was afraid that I'm even worse player than I thought 😃
- @CountSero 70K for the 10K first round of the day bonus. 7 days x 10K per day = 70K. Not 70K per round.
I am just saying if the XP mission resets to 2K per point, then the BP is going to be a joke as just by playing one round a day, you could complete the 100 levels and then some in the 12 weeks. If it doesn't reset, it is going to be tough. They either went one way or the other, and missed the middle. - @Adamonic ok sorry mate, i read it totally different (not native English speaker) sorry :o\
and yes, then it is only working if they will reset the XP point, if they do this, I’m with you there but i don't think that they will go this way
and I’m also interested if they will remove the weekly or give player which get in late to the season the opportunity to do the missions too - @CountSero No worries I needed to clarify better.
I saw a post that said they would still be available after the week they are posted but we will see.
Ultimately I was just pointing out that someone playing one round a day could complete the BP in less than 12 weeks (if mission XP resets weekly) and that would seem to make the Level 100 a little less rewarding. However if it doesn't reset then it is almost too hard for the casual player. - @CountSero I'm really hoping they reevaluate season two or within this season to change the XP increase variable and make it fixed. At level 29 myself, 25+hours in for the week and having to get 5500 per point. That's 55k XP just for one tier which for me is about 4 games so two hours of play for a tier and that will only increase as I level up more with XP. I totally agree with you. They definitely need to rework the requirements.
well, they have to do all of the following:
1) give regular players enough content to keep them busy
2) not make it so much that casual players or people that have left won't think it's too hard/not worth it and not bother
3) incentivize people to buy skips
4) not completely * off people by trying to bilk them for more money because it is TOO grindy
they will need to find a balance. i think resetting the exp requirements each week and keeping the rest of the challenges the way they are will do that. regular players will get 100 anyway, the casual players will need the weekly reset to keep them coming back and keep them from saying "* it" and not bothering with the battlepass
@1gamerdad i hope so too but i don't think they will do...
and that week two has started here my impression
-positive is that it seems to be that you can still do the missions from week one
-negative is that we now have the confirmation that the XP needed for each lvl point are not set back, so for completing lvl 31 i need 5750 XP per point
also, I think that some of the weekly mission will annoying some player like playing another mode, do mele kills etc.
here is an screen shot for missions wek two:
- @CountSero yeah if having to use XP on levels 80-100 it might take 75 hours of play lol.
well, if we do all of the weeklies we only need to get to level 40ish for exp right?
So the XP mission did not reset. So I am at 5750 for 1 BP point at Level 31.
What I don't know is if it is tied to the BP level you are on (most likely) or if it is tied to the number of times you do the XP Mission.If it is tied to the level you are on (which I think it is), you will want to play more now while your BP level is lower and earn as many BP points as you can with the XP Mission before the weeklies bump you up to where the XP Mission does very little to help you progress thru the BP levels.
This makes it much worse for casuals as you will need to grind 41 levels without weeklies, so it is probably best to get as many XP missions done in the first few weeks before your BP level gets too high and the XP Mission becomes near worthless.
The most efficient path seems to be over Level 48 after two weeks. Then you would only need weeklies from Weeks 3-12 to hit BP Level 100 with the least amount of playing time. That however is an extreme grind. I am at 31 now and will be happy with 40 after this week.
- @Psubond yeah but a dude on Reddit was at level 69 and it required him to get 25k per point. And you have to get 10 points for one tier. That's 250000 XP for one tier at level 69. For me at 15k XP per round it would take me 16.6 rounds of play which is a bit over 8 hours to gain one tier. That my friend is ridiculous.
- @Psubond you have to do 41.2 levels thru the XP mission as the weeklies would give you 58.8 in 12 weeks.
However, if you do the XP missions later, you will have to complete 5-8x amount of XP for the same amount of BP points. So it is best to get as much XP as you can in the first few weeks. It gets really outrageous after Level 50 or so. i have played one round of breakthru (dropped in last 30 seconds and didn't spawned at all and got only the weekly 10k)
so I got one one lvl point but it was 5750 XP per point, when I stoped playing yesterday it was 5500XP
it seems that the system is not showing the needed XP correctly or the XP increase can also happen between a full season pass lvl (which would be very confusing)
I will play some rounds and will check if the XP is bound to season pass lvl or to exp earned ^^
@CountSerothat's crazy, so the weeklies actually make it harder for you to complete the BP levels since they bump you up to harder XP requirements.
So you want to do as many XP missions as you can before any of the weeklies during the week. Do the weeklies first actually makes it harder for you to do the XP mission for a BP point. Is that correct?Just say I am at BP Level 25, then do the weeklies, and now I am at Level 30, now I need 750 more XP per BP point. That is basically an extra round (25 mins) needed per level of self induced pain.
DICE really hosed this up. The XP requirement should've went up based on the number of times you did that mission. Now casual players are going to get crushed after the first few weeks.
the exp doesn't go up per level though right? i thought it increased after you completed the 10 points per level for "that exp level"
if it is also increased as you get levels from the weeklies it makes sense to blast through as much exp as you can THEN do the weeklies
