cant get anymore event challenges?

[Lord Yoshi]

I reached level 3 in the event , but i cant get anymore event challenges to progress...is this intentional?

I tried to play the devil's advocate and be open minded about this progression system initially, but it really is as if they're saying, "You will use your EXP boosters and check back in constantly for months so as not to miss out on anything, and you'll like it."

Clearly. Unfortunately.

Yes, progression is intentionally made to be slow and tedious so players can have a sense of pride and accomplishment.

......yes i feel so proud for earning 50xp, made me feel so accomplished.

Meanwhile i can go play Battlefield 2042, just go revive and armor up people all game, get no kills or sit in the back and snipe and ♥♥♥♥ around and get 15-20k XP and be halfway trough a level

it should be 7 but yeah i had to grind all day to get my other 3. now im grinding for my last one (the 7th one).

.... 2x XP does not increase your progression, Maybe next week there will be more than 7, or maybe it will take 2 whole events to hit 30 to get people to spend $20+ on the items.

When I'm at the bottom of my team's score list and contributed nothing to their success (and possibly contributed to their loss,) but get rewarded more than the top scoring player on my team because I accomplished an arbitrary challenge goal, because unlockables have been decoupled from normal progression and attached instead to said arbitrary challenges, access to which is also RNG in terms of which ones I get...

... I don't feel pride or accomplishment. I feel annoyance, frustration, and discouraged from continuing. If I'm on the other end of that stick (playing well, but being less rewarded than the challenge-chasing players ignoring objectives or teamwork) I, likewise, don't feel pride or accomplishment. I feel annoyance, frustration, and discouraged from continuing.

By contrast (as just one example,) when I played Halo 3 a lot back in the day, was top 3 in a winning match, and happened to unlock an armor that match finally because I reached a certain rank during it ... that was satisfying. Hell, even just progressing through the service record and leveling in social and ranked alike without any unlocks at all felt rewarding because it was something that happened naturally over time just by playing, in contrast to this, which while you technically gain EXP "just for playing," happens faster if you chase challenges.

Thanks for summarizing my comment, appreciate it.

Double XP increases the amount of XP you get for completing a challenge. If you were to complete a challenge for +250xp It would double that. So if you arent close to completing a challenge it's better to wait and activate double XP the match before you are about to complete a challenge.

And currently the cheapest way (that I know of) to get double XP boosters is to buy a rockstar energy can for $1 and redeem the code on their website. Doing that will get you Double XP, If you redeem two soda cans. You get that and the Nocturne Sky camo for your MA40 AR

Oh god you're right....

Every time I read something about this progression system it gets progressively worst.

People defend this too....

The entire system is frustrating and will drive players away....

Here is some wipes, now go play apex legends.

Its manipulative Negotation 101:

1: Start with a extremely bad offer favoring yourself.
2: Change the offer to less unbalanced to the other party (But still highly in your favor).
3: Other party accepts a less unbalanced deal and thinks they won something, while you keep most of the benefit in the deal.

You watch. This is what is going to happen and most people are going to eat it up.

Wait. I might have those Monster cans that had 2x XP codes on it. They actually sold them when Infinite should have released but got delayed........do those still work?

Just like how Elite: Dangerous handles its business. Go look up the fleet carrier fiasco. They made them insanely stupid, 5 billion ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ credits, and they also cost like another billion a week just to run, and if you didn't pay they'd get literally taken away from you, and they also came with a ton of microtransactions, lol. Upon release they made them ever so slightly cheaper and everyone was happy. "Oh it's only half a billion per week now. :)"

343 gonna give us 150xp per match and we're gonna EAT THAT ♥♥♥♥ UP

You need to clear our the other challenges before you get new ones.
