A quick PSA to the exploiters

If you’re considering making a Fourm post about how your “legitimate” progress got reset I have just one thing to say:

I’m wondering about the guy who paid €150. Removing his progress would be legally questionable as he basically paid for it.

Right? They can solve the problem with stackable boosters, if they even think it’s a problem, but even though I did all the math I can’t see paying to stack the repeatable levels as an exploit. I think Lear_the_Cat will be fine though, since he did that days before custom battles got added IIRC.

It’s around 2000 enlisted gold for 100.000 campaign xp (not even squad and soldier xp).
So with 50$ worh of booster, at 5000%, the common screenshot of 1.6Mxp, would cost around 32000 gold.
Best price for gold is 13,500 gold for 100euro.
It’s at least 5 times cheaper, and have other xp benefits.
$nail will perma ban you all, keo said that this rollback was ‘mercy’ and a hint to exploiters to what will happen to them.
If getting same advantage, 5 times cheaper is not exploit, and just some misunderstood equality, then give us some 10x gold and xp too

That’s consistent with the data I gathered, and presented above. Edit: I presented all that data in a different post. I need a nap.

For the screenshot amount precisely, it would be 33127 gold, best value purchase would be $300. But you can’t buy partial levels unless you’ve already made some progress, so that’s not exactly repeatable, but close enough.

That’s your opinion, it’s a little different than my opinion, and we can only guess how the devs feel about it. If people pay to do it the way I presented, at least more people than do it the other way, I can see the company letting it stand because they’re making more money than they would otherwise.

So long as the gold was rolled back nothing was lost.

ie if you spent 150 on gold you still have the gold, not what you spent it on.

Had formatting issues, so deleted a couple of previous replies.

People are doing the math wrong in this case. The greatest factor in LTC’s (Lear_the_Cat) XP bonanza was his timing of when to purchase and apply the BP boosters.

His base XP was 5155……the +5000% boosters added 257,750…total = 262,905. Without timing the purchase of the boosters to coincide with a “Daily Reward” XP booster, his total XP for that match would have been……262,905 x1.5 x 1.4 = 552,101

BUT……(the formula seems off…Screenshot showed +100% XP bonus but formula added +200% XP bonus) his “Battle Experience Bonus” from his Daily Reward is really what gave him his Bonanza.

The BEB (Battle Experience Bonus) is inserted before the bonus multipliers for the victory and being at top of the leaderboard. So, it looked like this

5155 + 257750 (5155 x 50) + 525810 (which is 200% of 262905, not 100%) x 1.5 x 1.4 = 1,656,302

So, the daily reward bonus accounted for over 1.1 million of the total XP.

Without purchasing the 50 +100% boosters and applying them with the daily reward (and using the flawed +200% figure) it would have been … 5155 + 10310 x 1.5 x 1.4 = 32,477 XP

It really took both the daily and the end of battlepass boosters (and a flawed formula) to end up with the 1.6 million XP.

That’s not a daily reward bonus, there is no guaranteed daily bonus for XP that I’m aware of (screenshot one if there is, if I’m wrong I’ll own it.)

here’s the formula
(Base xp + (base x booster = bonus) + ((bonus+booster x premium bonus)+(bonus+booster x prem squad bonus)) x Win Bonus x Hero Bonus.

Without premium time and squads, he would have made 552,100xp instead of 1.6 million. But because the premium bonuses include the booster bonus in their calculation things very quickly get bigger.

The math is what I spent hours yesterday doing, as you saw in the post I made about this subject. If my math is wrong, I’ll accept that, and I’ll keep adjusting it as I have more and better data, but my math comes out the same as yours. You’ve just confused one of the premium bonuses for a daily bonus that AFAIK doesn’t exist.

Who said the daily reward bonus was guaranteed? It would go like this…log on, receive daily reward and OMG it’s a +100%, +200% or even +300% XP booster. As we all know, this is applied to the 1st match after receiving. That’s when a player would consider purchasing the end of BP boosters.

yeah, I know, was just confused since that reward would be calculated in with the rest of the stackable XP cards, and even if it was 300% daily reward, it would have been a small part of the total 5000% bonus.

Why though? For just some more gold, you can compensate for the lack of a random daily reward bonus by buying 1-3 more BP bonuses.

Look at your XP formula next time you pull an XP booster as a Daily Reward. It’s combined with, if a player has it, Premium Battle XP……Maybe Lear had a +100% XP daily reward booster that combined with his regular Battle XP bonus. The formula is what it is.

The 525810 is 200% of the sum of the numbers on the left not 100% for his premium xp bonus

Will do

We’ll find out, I guess.

yeah, 100% from premium time and 100% from premium squads. Still pretty sure the daily xp cards stack with every other xp card the game awards.

I don’t think that you understand. The BP boosters affect the BASE XP……the Premium and Daily Reward boosters affect the sum of the Base XP AND the BP boosters.

If you bought 3 more BP boosters, it would add 3x 5155 = 15,465 additional XP. If you add a +300% booster that applies to the sum of the base XP plus any BP boosters, in this case 50 or 53 (adding your 3 just bought with gold). 5155 + 273,215 (with you total of 53 BP boosters)= 278,370
Now add the +100% Premium XP and battle multipliers… 278,370 + 278,370 x 1.5 x 1.4 = 1,169,154
With only 50 BP boosters PLUS premium PLUS a +100% Daily reward booster you get
the 1,656,302……that’s an additional 487,148 XP…PLUS you save 525 gold by NOT buying 3 additional BP boosters.

One of us doesn’t.

yeah, so do the daily reward cards.

No, the premium time and premium squad bonuses do.

None of this is right because you’re arguing from a flawed premise. I was talking about buying 300% worth of BP boosters inplace of a 300% daily booster you maybe didn’t get, which, btw, would cost me 270 right now (I know the cost goes up eventually.)

I’ve never bought a premium squad. I know that there is a +100% XP bonus that combines with Premium, but isn’t that only for the XP earned by that squad?
If buying a cheap premium squad gives you an extra 100% XP for the entire mission, then I’ve been missing out.

There’s room for me to be wrong here, I’ll test that too.

It the case of Lear_the_Cat, he could have done that entirely with premium squads, too. I dunno. I’ll update you tomorrow when I have the data.

If a premium squad only boost XP while they are active in the game…Lear would have had to use ONLY premium squads, because the Battle XP bonus was exactly 200% of the combined Base XP withy BP boosters
