Family XP seems over buffed

[puppetbrown]

I love this game & I'm a casual player (lvl 40). Prefer victim, and had all but 1 finally leveled up to 10, plugging away at it and getting better utilizing different percs. But since this patch, the XP gained on each match seems lopsided in favor of the family. I can open every exit as a victim, get a couple of sneak attacks in, escape, and still be out-scored in XP by family with zero kills.
I kept plugging away at it, only getting 2k-4k per match until I finally gave up and respecced 4 family member up to 10 & played a few matches. Holy crap, easy 4-5k every match, even if I don't kill anybody, just by wandering around doing family stuff.
I'm not usually one to whine or complain but this seems really imbalanced, and made me switch to family even though I prefer victim, just to take less time leveling up. Why plug away as victim only getting 1k-4k if you're lucky, to watch all family get a baseline of 4k easy, even if all the victims escape. I just finished a match with that exact scenario: all victims escaped, one guy playing leland i know opened up multiple exits and stunned me as leatherface a couple times & we still all scored more XP as family than the whole victim team, who all escaped.

nah, it's just making up for all the absolute garbage xp they've gotten since launch after victims started rushing exits for 2-3 times the xp family would get.

It's mainly due to the double xp event I'm pretty sure, plus the recent family xp buffs. These numbers won't be same after wednesday

probably to invite players to play family more

Why does it even matter? It's not like them being awarding more xp means you earn less. I remember playing as hitchiker before the xp buff and I would catch 3 victims in traps and kill 1 person and still end up with a low amount of xp. Additionally when victims were about to be executed they would DC resulting in that family member not getting the xp for that kill. Furthermore majority of people are queuing as victims so... Let's make room for these changes lol

Yeah, good point. I guess I was butt hurt trying to get that last victim to level 10, barely scraping by in XP and only then if I got lucky and could get out before getting bum rushed. But to add insult to injury I could have a perfect game and everybody escapes and the family would score the same, if not more. That just seemed unfair.

But you're not wrong. It motivated me to finally play family, just to level up faster. If that was the goal it worked as intended.

I honestly wouldn't mind family receiving generally more XP than victims. I often play victim solo, so if a match goes south I can just queue next after dying. Meanwhile, family matches can drag on depending on how slow/stealthy some of the victims are.

Based on just that, maybe this brings xp/h closer between the two sides.

You can tell who the victim players are by these posts.

if the matches drag on its a skill issue. if you cant feed grandpa and find last person then you shouldn't be rewarded with overtuned exp.

exp doesn't really matter at this point. anyone that cares about playing is already lvl 99. more than 80% of perks are trash so theres no point in leveling them.

they probably gave killers so much exp cuz they felt bad the killer skins took 2mins to put blood on.

Damn, the reward system was Victim-sided for over 2 months, let Family level up in peace finally.

victims can do over 8k point during event. depends on your skill issue

and a killer can get 8k with 0 kills. you get a participation reward as killer now.
