Season 6 Battle pass discussion

Yep.

EA in their infinite wisdom decided to start the XP levels at 6500 points per level instead of 2000 like every other season.

And they lowered the amount of points you get from the missions, although they are going to increase that next week.

YEP!

I can understand them trying to keep people engaged throughout the whole season but they miscalculated big time.  If you are going for weapons they just made it much harder to get those early in the season.

If they were going to make the XP levels start at 6500 then they should not increase every 10 levels.  It should stay flat for a long time.  They also should make the unlocks all within the first 20 or 25 levels and not 46.

Well, it doesn't matter, they made the game unplayable again for.pc players, improved the console aimbot (very much noticable), so fun is gone for good now, what a mess they made, again

Yep.  it does seem console player "aim assist" was buffed to the point that its basically an aimbot and their new anti-cheat should ban all console players. 🙂

Every extremely sus kill was always a console player.

To add to that there is definitely still hackers.

Had a player who's rank was 32 or 35 who went 59 and 2.  PC player too.  This player was definitely running a hack and the shinny new anti-cheat was no where to be found.

I'm going to start off with the new map is great.

The battle pass on the other hand is absolutely horrible. Just because the devs want to drag out a season for a longer period of time (I have no idea why they need to), doesn't mean they need to make it take WAY longer to level it up. I have T1 all 5 season battle passes so far and I would say it was fair and could be completed in an appropriate amount of time. 

It's already bad enough that an extra month has been tacked on to this season when we get the same amount of content (or less) as the previous 5 seasons.

Just because you want it to be longer doesn't mean the players should be punished and make it longer to progress. I mean it'll be weeks now before I get the first new weapon (vhx- D3). 

I think it should be reverted as this takes away from the enjoyment of the game. It won't keep players playing for longer they'll just get tired of it quicker. I was going to say I'll probably get lvl 100 on the pass and then drop out for the season, but I may just get the last new weapon and then drop as cosmetics are not worth this amount of grinding, it's just too much. Most players will stop playing by week 6-8.

Also, can anyone give me a serious answer as to why these seasons are the way they are? I feel season 3 was the height (although they've all been lackluster). By this I mean: 1 map, 2-4 weapons, 1 vehicle, A gadget, and of course just cosmetics, and then the season lasts 12-18 weeks. Why is this all we receive? Why can't they do more/better?

Let's be honest here: new Weapons and Gadgets DO NOT belong in the Battlepass. It was only "bearable" the last 5 Seasons because you could get them fairly fast by just playing the game. But now you have to grind your * off to get to the Guns and Gadgets. Not only did they put the unlockables to a relatively high BP Level but they also nerfed weekly Mission Rewards and XP needed to gain a BP Level. I played for around 7 - 8 hours gaining 27000 - 50000 XP per Match, did all the weekly Missions and i am still at BP lvl 9.... It will take approximately double the time to reach BP lvl 19 just to unlock ONE of the three new guns because XP needed is going up exponentially. Meanwhile i'm getting shredded by the VHX.

This is just a rant because i'm so frustrated how long it takes to get anything new in comparison to previous Seasons. That's it.

Thanks for reading and see you on the Battlefield! https://xender.vip/

Are you certain they were hacking or just were being revived? If I'm in a squad and we stick together we regularly go in the 40s+ and maybe 1 or 2 deaths (one of my squamates is very good, although is well over 1000 hours, and gets in the 60s-80s, especially on the new map if you get a good flank). That doesn't necessarily excuse it, but the number of deaths someone has isn't indicative of them not being killed, just that they weren't revived.

Can I definitively confirm that this player was hacking. No, I cannot.  That is partially on EA for taking away the tools we used to have in BF4 for looking at stats etc to find players who are hacking.

At best is that I can say this player is extremely SUS.  It's rare to find someone who's played maybe 15 hours to have a K/D of 30-40.  A player who always has the jump on someone and insta kills while it seems like they aren't even aiming at the killed player. 

This was brought up by several players in the chat after I noticed it and also confirmed by two of my squad mates. 

Also this wasnt squad play.  This player always seemed to be running solo.  Their K/D was drastically above all the other players in the match.  If this low level player was benefiting from a good squad of medics then I would expect at least one other player to have similar numbers.  That was not the case.

Maybe they just had a very very lucky round though. 🙂

They have not made it unplayable for pc players. You have plenty of macros on pc to stop recoil etc so stop moaning and they are not deemed as cheating every pc streamer uses them..

Since the update i have found my controller is useless everything moves about 10ft with the slightest movement.
