XP Boost Time

Crazy how this was fixed in BF4 12 years ago

I agree that game time or time actually in a match should be applied here. I was under the impression that boosters still work and boost correctly for the time they are active though? Obviously it's just difficult to track progress midway through a match and you have about 15 seconds at the end to check progression challenges etc which sometimes just isn't quite long enough.

Well so they work as intended but most of the XP in a round is calculated at the end of a match so if your booster runs out you miss out on a huge boost from the whole game versus being constant and only just the last 3 mins when it runs out. 

Yeah the greed on this is crazy 

It's worse than just that - the boosts don't even last the amount of time they say they do sometimes. Had a 2x weapon experience one quit after about 10-12 mins when it was a 15 minute duration.

Also doesn't help that it counts waiting in lobbies as game-time.

They're 100% ripping people off with the xp boosters.

The amount of "You Timed Out" BS that seems to happen every other game, makes these boosts a complete joke. 90% of the boost is used resetting the game.

The fact people pay actual money for them is insane.

I've just stopped using them completely, since every time I use one, I get a "time out"

Absolutely absurd way of doing things.

Loved the way XP boosts worked on BF4.  I get killed, the boost paused until I was back in action, ON the battlefield.  Gave me time to toke on a cigarette, sip on my beer, go take a leak... Figure out which objective I should spawn on, which vehicle might be my best choice to spawn in.   Also, it's sad when you get booted after maybe 3 minutes... No countdown, no warning you are about to get booted.  Unless, I missed the warning on my screen.

Yeah, nothing like having 6 minutes remaining on an XP boost only to have the game take 5 minutes matchmaking.
They should only activate once you are in a match & spawned.

I have about 40 boosts saved up.  Not even going to bother unless/until they change how they operate

Here's me sitting for 3:20 in custom search yes Crossplay is OFF. 😔 Obviously having crossplay turned off with affect the match making time, this doesn't affect the XP boosters, Boosters still bleed when not in a match.
