Remove mandatory XP Boost

Can we please get the option NOT TO ACTIVATE the XP Boost?

Im tired of gettin lame matchups “by luck” when an Xp Boost activates.
90% of the time im in matches where i top the board with 2-3 teamembers at best doing decent on kills or objectives, while the opposition has 7-8 “really good players” (The kind that insta shoot you when on line of sight or get oneshots on pilots from 600m away or rush the objective laying waste to defenders.

I accept that its “pure luck” (and not a hidden mechanic that forces you on a losing side to negate the xp boost gains) but i dont want to use the Xp Boost at all "without havint to desert on a match.

Just got my daily wasted on axis airfield when we had one good player but US had at least 5-6 that perfectly knew what they are supposed to do, still it took nearly 30 min. of slaughter as they very likely toying with us and farmed kills because as they tickets went close to 150 they pushed really hard every time.

How was it wasted if you got airfield?? Even if you lost, a 30 minute game is good xp

Yeah, i dont even care of losing the daily (which is most of the time xp booosts than orders, allthough they are supposed to be the same chance).

I just hate the constant heavy losses while i have an XP Boost active. Its not fun and frustrating, and ive been here long enough to recognise the pattern.

I don’t understand why the boosters automatically activate as soon as you get them. Most of the time I get teams that play almost as bad as me when I’m drunk lol. Occasionally I will get a good team but not often

Man, you call a 30 min match on airfield a BAD match for a booster?

A bad match for a booster, regardless of the outcome, is a very short one (one-sided conquest or steamrolled invasion).

Of course winning is better, but invasion in general is good for fruitful boosters.

Wish I got those guys against me. 30 minutes match and plenty of kills is great for a booster. Even if it is not win, it is by FAR better than any conquest.

Because, especially since the latest update, it’s become apparent that the Devs are discouraging
players from “stacking” boosters. They want players to grind for SO long that they spend gold to
speed up progress.

Makes sense but they could easily make it so you can only have one active at a time

Since you would still activate the booster before you choose to start a new match, you would still have the same problem of not being able to choose which mission type to use the booster on

You should see my luck.

Every time I get any kind of booster i get a Conquest map that ends in 7 minutes or less and one side completely stomps.

Reminder that Conquest should have an opt-out button, the mode is awful.

Very true. Was lucky to have a fantastic win with allies in Tunisia with over 100 kills. With premium at the time I got about 65k research :slight_smile: normally still get around 15k with booster even without premium for an average game

They could simply make it impossible to activate more than one booster at a time instead of forcing you to play with the booster once you click to get the reward. It would be better if the boosters were just stored.

Same I alway get bad team mate when i play so I waste my booster… I wish you could leave without losing it, because right now it a total waste…
