XP disparity between Long fighter and Squad

Mess Room
1

One game in the Squad mode will net you anything between 3k to 20k xp.
A lone fighter game will net you roughly 700 xp.

Now there are talk of acquiring bronze orders through xp, which will only make the game worst for the players who enjoy lone fighters.

Similarly, some lone fighter mechanic doesn’t make sense, because it’s clearly a port from the squad mode, the game is still in beta so no blame there.

For example : Not being able to use soldiers from the same squad when one dies, and being forced to pick someone from another squad.

This is why i believe it’s only fair if the lone fighter mode get a 400% xp modifier so the players who main it, doesn’t lag behind the players who mainly play the squad mode.

Any thought on the subject ? preferably from players who play both modes regularly.

Also a comment from the devs on the subject would be nice.

Half the population in a Lone Fighter battle is AI.

Why exactly should it have rewards like Squads when the majority of the AI at this stage of the game is more or less braindead and you can farm them easily?

Yeah if the post announcing that change was accurate it’ll be 2,000XP per bronze order so, assuming ~700XP per match, that would be 3 matches for 1 bronze order. That’s rough. I do hope they try to balance that out someway for the people who prefer lone fighter.

The mode was added as an afterthought because Battlefield V and HnG refugees wouldn’t leave the devs alone
It’s dogshit and needs a lot more work before its viable as a mode. And that work should come after getting the campaigns and squads fleshed out more.

In the squad mode, it’s at least 4 AI for each player, so why shouldn’t the lone fighter players get the chance to gain the same xp ?

If anything, i will join a squad mode match to farm AI, since there will be more.

Sure fam let me know how well the farming goes when players delete you before you can even blink.

Lone fighters is just easy as hell, and less work, and boring. Ergo less rewards.

Easy there cowboy.

Because you’re not doing nearly as much work
Less work = Less Reward

There must be a misunderstanding between me and you, the squad mods has more AI and less players, so your comments will make more sense if you were talking about the lone fighter mode, are you ?

A game in squad mode, i can get 40 kills without trying, a 100 easily, a lot of players can since we are mostly fighting AI, who you said is not very bright.

Ok then go do that and you will level up faster seeing as you are clearly a professional gamer.

12

I would say it’s easier work, shooting a team with 80% AI is not the same as fighting actual players with some AI.

13

Why are you like this ?

I clearly enjoy fighting actual players in lone fighter, and i would prefer i can play with without being put in a disadvantage.

14

You neglect to mention that there are plenty of players mixed in with the AI that are also ready to split your wig.
The AI are more than willing to rail you too provided you leave them alive.

Except you arent being shot by as many rifles, and dont have to kill multiple people quickly. Sounds hella easier

No you don’t, Squads is what has more players. Lone Fighters is what has more AI.

Players are constantly shooting at you, even the AI will rail you harder than the huns railed Europe if you leave them alone.

Lone Fighters is more along the lines of the disabled cousin of Squads. Ergo less XP.

What ?

Squad is 10v10 and each players is followed around with a squad of at least 3 AI.
Lone fighter is 30v30 players with some AI to help with the queue time, and i prefer they didn’t have any AI in it.

18

As i said, in my experience, i get 40 to over 100 kills in squad, while in lone fighter, 40 kills is top.

19

Exactly, they can’t have it cost too low xp or the players in squad mode will make crazy profit, so they will definitely make it high which will shaft the players in lone fighter.

I get what you are saying Rusty and agree with you… The trash posters having a go at you have no idea how ridiculous their protestations sound…

Depends on when you play on how full the mode is of bots. What you say applies more so to 3AM or Normandy/Berlin matchmaking. They are also more likely to fill (so if there are less Axis players in MM, the Axis side will specifically have more bots). If players join too slowly, this can lead to both sides filling with bots here and there.

Also, Lone Fighter bot A.I. is a step above Squad bot A.I. in terms of aggressiveness and accuracy in my subjective opinion. They don’t have to wait to be shot before going into T1000 mode. They also react too sound unlike normal squad bots. Had one turn on me when I tried to stealth knife it with my fighter pilot (escaped a plane, but didn’t have a loadout equipped once).
