Battle pass 10x design rewards NOT playing Conan....

[Shockwave]

Is it me or if you want to complete the Battle Pass the best way to do is ONLY play conan for a hour twice a week or so to maximize your 10x tasks.

If you play for 8 hours on a Saturday with friends and then not till next Saturday it feels like you will never finish battle pass... but if you played 1 hour on sat, and 1 hour on Tuesday you'd get more BP xp than playing for 8 hours on on Sat....

So buy the battle pass and play the game less.....

[Godspeed]

This is inaccurate to some extent.

YES if you try to do the Battle-Pass in one sitting, without 10x boosts, it will take MUCH longer, but it IS possible to do in a day if you set one aside.

You CAN save 10x boosts and do them once a week, re-rolling every time you don't get offered an epic or legendary challenge. Every day any 10x boosts you don't use will be 'banked' and completing a quest will put a banked boost in the slot it used. Some people actually prefer this method AND have finished the Battle-Pass already.

In regards to maximising the '10x tasks' you are correct that it IS better to do them daily, since re-roll don't get banked like the boosts do, but it ISN'T necessary to complete the Battle-Pass in a timely fashion.

I believe the Battle-Pass was mentioned to last a few, 3? months. Some people have completed it already, I'm at 50/60 without buying the epic upgrade for the 15 extra Battle-Pass level boosts and it hasn't even been a month yet since it released.

Actually the way I read it you can NOT save your 10x boosts for a full week. So if you only play on weekends you lose quite a bit of your 10x boosts compared to playing an hour a day (even an hour a day isn't the most efficient, an hour every 3-4 days is the most efficient).

Plus if you not "DOING" battle pass, but just playing Conan once a week, and you do a battle pass task once per hour or so (the rest of the time actually ya know.. playing the game), you will be VERY far behind someone playing an hour a day and doing 1 battle pass task an hour., and they would play an hour less than you....

So no, it is not "inaccurate" It is more efficient to play less hours split up than all in one day.

you complain that you can do the BP easy?really?
look at Genshin there you dont have any bonus exp no catch up mechanik you MUST play 5 weeks ( or do the events where you get bonus exp but if you miss them because they are limited time you dont get any exp) if you want all lvl50 rewards,if you miss some days/weeks and there only 3-4 weeks left,well bad luck,or you have to pay real money to make it to lvl50.

Reading is not your strong suit...nobody is making this claim. You made this up.

I never said for a full week, but since you want to come out the gate full ham... doing them every "5" days which is the limit to how much you can save is the most efficient, not 1 and not 3-4.

You just said that Conan rewards NOT playing which is subject and why i said "This is inaccurate to SOME EXTENT." I didn't outright say you are wrong. There is no limit to how many challenges you can complete in a day, only how many boosts you get per day. It is entirely possible to grind out the Battle-Pass in one day, and then just not deal with it for the entire rest of the 3 months the Battle-Pass is active.

Actually inaccurate and completely subjective.

Can you really say what is more efficient?

Doing the Battle-Pass in 1-2 months of 1 hour intervals every 1,2,3,4,5 days or whatever you believe is the best option.

Or doing it entirely in a day, saving you literally every other day of the Battle-Pass duration to do whatever you want, but spending more hours total.

These aren't even your only options, it takes between 1-2 months of a 3 month Battle-Pass duration and people can choose literally any middle-ground between these extremes.

Ok the bp is not that bad after playing for roughly 2 hrs and using my rerolls. Got to level 7 while spending about 20 mins at least fighting off a purge. No admin panel commands used. I think just doing it for about an hour a few times a week should be the easiest route. At this rate it'll be a few weeks to complete, maybe a month. Not super convenient but not a huge time sink either.

Yes. The most xp in the shortest time is "more efficient". That is literally the definition. You are talking about whether it is more "Fun" to be LESS efficient.... which is fine and can be argued, but you are conflating the term efficiency with something else.

To complete the BP in the least amount of playtime (efficiency)... you would need to play Every day, use your rerolls and JUST do the tasks on the right for 150 (or 70 if you save up too many 10x bonuses without using them on 150s). Because the re-roll it actually IS most efficient at 1 day...

So what I said again, is 100% accurate... the BP design encourages (not forces.. never said forces) players to play in short increments and for less time rather than playing longer sessions, and rewards players who play 1 hour a day,, or every other day or every 5th day (increasingly rewards) vs a player who works and plays in large blocks of time on a weekend even if they play the game for more aggregate time.

People may play more and be inefficient because they like the game but then they liked it without BP anyway, if BP is being introduced as a carrot, it seems like it should encourage more play not less. You should get all your 10X changes in one lump to be used for the week no matter what your playtime looks like.

Every day your 5 challenges are repopulated with a 10x bonus.
Every day, up to 3 of those 10x bonuses that are unclaimed are put into your bonus pool.
You can have a maximum of 20 bonus 10x in your pool.
The last 2 challenges have a mimimum rarity that is higher than the first 3 slots.

Not playing for a week doesn't do anything for you, as all that will do is give you 20 (loss of 1 bonus) banked bonuses at the end of the 7th day, bonuses that you could have just used each day, plus you are missing out on the 2 extra 10x's from the defaulted repopulation.

If you are away for a while, it is optimal to claim only the last 2 challenges until you run out of bonus pool, but if you play every day, you can just claim all of them, and depending on how much more you play, you can continue to claim and get more pass exp.

The system works out to help those who havn't managed to claim daily, but it doesn't punish people for playing.

The one major "Meta" to completing the battlepass the fastest with the most minimal effort, is to log in daily and pour any bonus xp multipliers into that very lost slot only. Once you are out of multipliers, use your rerolls until any 70/150's come up under any of the first 3 10x slots, saving the 4th 10x challenge slot for a hope for a 150 to roll over the 70. (do not claim the 4th slot until it either comes up as a 150, or you have run out of rerolls)
If a 70 or greater appears in any of the first three slots with a 10x, complete them.

Once you are out of multipliers and rerolls, you will may or may not still have some 30/40 10x challenges. Leave them for the day rollover so they go into your multiplier pool, which will let you have a greater chance at putting it into a 150x10.

It's a weird setup, and It really shouldn't be this way, but it definately does not benefit to just not play. It's far better to actually claim challenge rewards daily.

I already finished the BP and can confirm that doing any task after all the daily x10 are done is a waste of effort.

Weren't you adamantly against the whole BP..? Look at you now grinding all the dailies in record time.
Have you bought it yet?

That is an odd complicated setup that discourages you from actually DOING 30 point tasks while you play the game with friends (rather than trying specifically for BP) because doing those green tasks actually HURTS you because you get 30 points but your 10x tomorrow will go there (for 300 points) rather than used on a 70 or 150 for 700 or 1500. You'd have to do a 41 green tasks in that slot in that24 hours to make up for the 1200 point difference, you might be missing out on.

They should line up the 10X bonuses behind their respective slots (and maybe adjust the values to compensate) so no matter when you do them you get the same value. Logging in every day would advantage you with re-rolls, but meh.

Lol, have I ever said I was not going to buy it? I actually said right here in this forum that there are things in the BP AND the bazaar that I must have or I would die. Of course I bought the BP. Friggin FOMO gets me every time. I am against the BP because I can’t resist the temptation. It’s like being with a handsome exile like yourself on the road that leads to the City before having a chance to harvest some fiber. 😭

Exactly. There should Never be any reason to not actively pursue completing these tasks, or to hit that claim button.

It seems they wished to offer a way for people who cannot play every single to day to sort of "catch up", but the details of that offering do not work out well, as it presents odd circumstances for "how to complete battlepass better" in weird unintended ways. Having unclaimed 10x's tied specifically to the same slot, and allowing them to stack up to say, 3 days, would achieve this.

The intention is to have as many people log in as often as possible for the best statistics.
