Family XP is so low

[Atheta ｜アセータ]

I can get 3/4 kills in a match and get barely any XP... what gives? I get dramatically more XP for just existing as a Victim.

[Marshmallowing.]

Not really.

[Cynical Jester]

You're joking right? Family players out level the victim players by a large margin and you want MORE xp?! lol

I'm level 15, I just played a game as Leland where I meme'd the family a few times with bones and my ability, and got 7K XP, I have a game where I get 3 kills as bubba and I get 1K.

Victims get 1.5k xp for doing nothing...I was shocked when I found that out so my game plan for tonight is to play the victim. haha I found out by playing them myself and being confused as f***.

Cook gets xp for highlighting a survivor, Bubba for breaking stuff, imagine Johnny gets good xp for tracking. Basically using your power a lot gives good xp.

[Toxic Avenger]

wait? what is xp for? i had so much fun in beta already with just playing the game. i heard that you can have perks, is it valuable and how to unlock?my overall lvl is 15 with 54,290 XP what are the 81 tree points for? i thought for upcoming cosmetics.

You get "tree points" for leveling up your account. You can spend them on any character. Each node in their skill tree is an attribute point or additional perk. They can be refunded and spent on any other character at any time.

Individual perks on a character and their main ability gain xp from playing them in a game. This stays on them if you respec.

I have won and gotten multiple kills past HOUR and have YET TO GET ANY SKILL TREE POINTS. Games where I get 1k-2k points and still I get nothing to level my character.. There is something seriously glitched with this.
First character I worked on was Ana, got her up to 10 quickly, and then ever since that, i've barely gotten anything for anyone

Johnny gets really low ability experience for using his skill. Its weird as others level much quicker. So I think his may be bugged.

From what I understand the skill points gaining is somewhat bugged atm.

you get perk point when you level up your account level . so yeah the first character youll get it at level 10 pretty fast then its 5 per level. so account level 20 for another level 10.

Yeah I've noticed that victims can do literally nothing except die and get the same amount of XP as family members playing the entire match, catching multiple with their ability and/or killing. It's pretty out of whack. No idea if it's just not correctly tracking XP or it's actually too low. Not to mention many matches awarding nothing just because you left at the wrong moment :/

[TysonL]

it's true family members get more XP but if 1 person gets 0 kills he gets less than 1k there should be points doing damage and not just the kill/finisher.

[Araiguma]

not really

Another match with questionable XP dividends... a victim gets 1475 for running upstairs, walking into two traps before dying to Bubba. Meanwhile my guys get two kills between them, they end up with a total 1260 points. I get five or six traps, leading to the kills, harvest blood, patrol and so on and get 800 points. The two who escaped didn't interact with anyone else the entire round, just used the basement exit while we were upstairs, got 1925 and 1375 respectively.

XP often just doesn't feel fair or well proportioned right now. Most interactive aka interesting and fun gameplay is not getting rewarded. Same on victim side as well: save ally, escape from house, clear a dozen noisemakers, disable gen 2x, escape as last survivor = ~1500... ie the same for running upstairs and dying instantly. idgi guys.)
