That happened to me. Literally THE GAME I got level 100 on my AK the change went through and I didnt receive gold. Its just a big fuck you to anyone that grinded it out before
Yes it is but I’d still give it a chance, maybe after playing for a while it’ll feel better as they did make it take less time to level up, i think it’d be too easy to get a weapon gold if they kept the level cap at 100 and still reduced the XP required, sure maybe making it 200 is too much and something like 150 would be better but, at least they’re good at communicating with the community and owning up to things they get wrong. if this change doesn’t work then they’ll most likely change it again :)
@@jamesgardiner9969 bro it still takes 70% more xp to level a gun to gold, and it already took a long ass time. the only reason some people have a couple gold is because they're throwing out double xp weekends and tokens left and right. When all that shit stops it's gonna take 80 games to get a gun gold
@@exposingthetruth3821 exactly, weapon camos are designed for people who put a lot of time into a weapon and loving using a certain weapon. Back in the day on the old COD’s i’d feel so rewarded just for getting my favourite weapons to gold rather than how it is now having to get every single weapon in the game gold just to use a certain camo on a few guns i like to use ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I was grinding all my weapons to level 50 for that bronze camo before I grinded for gold camo at level 100. Now I'm 150 levels away from gold, making me not want to even go for it anymore. Such a bad change..
All I needed left were the handguns , 1 sniper , 1 LMG, & 3 shotguns to get all Bronze weapons now I'm so far away ... Forget it I'ma just play with my favorite weapons I'm not gonna bother getting gold on all weapons because it seems like mastery camos are on a per weapon basis and not on a per class basis there is no completionist camo like a bo dark matter
I was doing the same thing just getting all the attachments unlocked have a camo for every weapon for future rebalancing of weapons now i look at it and I'm like why did i use shotguns and did pistol only seems like i wasted more time and got hella frustrated for no reason
Facts I was in the same boat strategically using the double Xp weekends ,tokens and tanking ”stats” for what. It really feels like a slap in the face I had all the attachments for almost 2/3 of the guns🤦🏽♂️. Then still would’ve had the second half of the “grind” to get gold. I don’t even wanna waste time for the gold anymore which I guess is a good thing for my psyche in the long run🤷🏽♂️
I’m literally in the same boat. I’ve been working on all the SMG’s, AR’s, and Snipers getting them to 50 so thag all the attachments and the bronze camo is unlocked and sliver and gold would be a closer achievement, and it would be easier cause the guns would all have attachments but now I’m just not gonna try because it’s too much.
All Ubi had to do was leave gold at 100 and make a new camo for 200 or even 150 too but that’s too much to ask for. They just want to destroy every game they make
Unlocking camos was the whole incentive to play. Now that it's absurdly long people are going to stop playing. They should have just added a new camo for level 200 to keep people grinding as that's more reasonable.
And just like that I stopped giving a fuck about the mastery camos for having every gold camo in a category. Feels like a big fuck you to everyone who already grinded them out.
How in the blue fuck is it a fuck you? They literally said if you already had them unlocked then you're keeping them. Stop complaining about everything, you mfs are so annoying 😂
the bump from 3500xp per level to 3k per level is such a stupidly low drop that it might as well not even happened lmao devs really went "damn casuals are leaving because of the weapon grind, let's make it feel exactly the same then make Gold even more unobtainable for the average player"
@@staychrispy91you know some people wanna grind for something as well? there’s only so much you can do with just enjoying the game by just playing without purpose. which is why camos and other level progressions exist, so that it keeps player retention.
Yeah i don't agree with the way they did this. If they're gonna double the weapon levels they need to make xp from playing the objective count towards weapon levels as well.
I really hate this change to the mastery grind it was already a lot of work to get a gun gold and this also sets the precedent that the devs can make your hard work on the game worthless without telling you beforehand
I mean that precedent has been there for years, most devs don't really give a fuck about the average player in any way. Happens a lot where they just reverse progress or change major features after wasting hours upon hours on it
Some quick math here. Before the patch, to get to level 100, you'd require 350,000 xp, while now you require 600,000 xp, meaning the diff is an additional 250,000 xp. If Jev were to avg. 3.5 levels a match, he would have to play ~57.143 total matches to level a single gun from level 1. Considering he's currently at 26, we can subtract 78,000 xp from the total 600,000 xp; this means that, from level 26, Jev will have to avg. 3.5 levels a game for ~49.714 games. It's been a bit since I've played XDefiant, but lets say the avg. match of Occupy takes about 15 minutes. Assuming this while taking into account the approximate required number of matches, Jev must play for a total of ~745.714 minutes ( ~12.429 hours). It's 100% doable, Jev, but I don't envy your grind. Love your vids, and I can't wait to see your Elden Ring DLC content
@@YuiFTPyeah thats crazy, because why even bother going for mastery camos. This Shit takes 2 years if youre not scump. I think they want to Upgrade the store so players will buy weapon skins rather than going for mastery camos
I think they'll 100% do something about it because the backlash will be too big, and since its a free game, they have to sustain it to make money since it's not like cod where they make alot of the money when the players buy the initial game
Biggest selling point for the game was no skill-based match making for the casuals... I don't know if the casuals will love a month long grind to get 1 single weapon Gold lmao. A person working a 9-5 coming home isn't gonna play many games and probably won't drop more than 25 kills a game. These are the people I'm basing this off of.

We're not pros but the 3 of us absolutely maul people majority of our time on this game (We love FPS). Ranking up weapons was already bad and now this is way worse, a lot of people regardless who you are, this is gonna make a lot of people stop playing. Ubisoft already shot themselves in the foot before Season 1, this is already a very bad sign.
@@avergrey3617 I mean I have zero problem stomping on people playing solo, if I go play cod pubs its like playing ranked. Theres definitely no SBMM in Xdefiant, the difference its significant.
The 9-5 grind was real for my boy’s and i (1.3-2.0 kd’s), we all get on at around 6:30 p.m. to get off around 10 or 11 p.m. just for this update to rip all that work out of our hands, even with not thinking about it, we did not enjoy playing tonight and ended up getting back on apex LOL.

@@nathanh2725 fr like at least in cod there are actual challenges. this is just an obvious attempt to increase players play time, and therefore increasing the odds they buy something in the store. its all calculated.
I am pissed af about this. I replied to Mark's tweet respectfully criticizing the change and that it shall be reverted --meaning only the part of where the mastery camo levels would be reverted BACK to 50, 75, 100
I was working on my AA12 to finish out the Gold on the shotguns but after this update, i dont even want to grind it anymore. I feel bad for people that were 4 levels off from 100
This change will change XDefiant for good. I do not like this update. Way too high of levels for me. Seems like they don’t like the casual gamers anymore!
They made it to where you unlock attachments faster so it’s better for casual players but harder for those who want to get mastery camos (non-causal players)
@@potza579 The scale is off so far though. Most decent guns were fully leveled at 43, so 150.500 xp. Now you need 129.000 xp. That's really not that much of a change. Gold camos though went from 350.000 to 600.000. That's just too wild man...
They should’ve just made the mastery camo at 200 level and OBJ points should count towards weapon leveling as well. They also need Prestige mode in the game soon as possible.
Fuck that man, it's almost impossible now for a casual player or someone who doesn't have enough time on their hands to complete the gold camo, what a shitty change.
Nah its a good update for casuals to get good attatchments quicker on less meta weapons and fun stuff and for the hardcore players to grind more for gold and make it more valuable
What they should’ve done is increased the camo level requirement by the same as the xp then you get attachments quicker and you’d get the camos at the same rate as before the change
Did the math for anyone wondering. The XP gun change is not a small difference it is a HUGE difference. To get a gun gold you needed exactly 350,000 XP (aka lvl 100) before. Now for a primary weapon it is 600,000 XP to get to level 200. The change from 3500 to 3000 for each level is insignificant when considering the 3k is multiplied by 200 vs 3.5k multiplied by 100.
"what do you mean 'increased?'" Is probably the single most relatable quote from these patches. I will say, because if the extra mastery camos we're getting in season 1, I think their plan is to keep Gold the "golden" standard and give us more camos in-between. However, I still think this is the single worst change without any context. Like, they hear us. They read our stuff. They know what the community wants. We don't want easy access to gold, we just wanted attachments easier so that we don't feel handicapped against people that no life the game. Did they miss the point or is this preparation?
This was the worst update ever. This is just going to make people not want to play objective even more. It already was bad that kill farming was so prevalent bc the only way to earn xp was kills but now increasing the xp needed with that being the only way means even sweatier not objective based lobbies smh. All over these shitty ass camos. Cod mobile has a better looking gold camo than this shit
As someone who works a regular job and has things to do outside of work I only have time to play a few hours a day I haven’t even gotten 1 hun golden I thought the grind to 100 was hard enough
As a casual player who doesn’t have much time to play I had just got my Ak-47 to level 96 yesterday. Logging on to see the level for gold is now 200 is completely unmotivated and disappointing I really hope they revert this update.
Its an interesting feat to further increase the grind on a game where everyone is complaining about the grind. Ive put this game down a few weeeks ago and im not touching it till its fixed properly and completely
Good thing is that they know what they're doing and yet they're still taking risks for something players were reporting. This is a good thing, they're listening to the community but not too much, they know how to do the difference between some whinnings and relevant feedbacks to take into account. This is very promising
With the new weapon xp adjustment/weapon level increase. It takes 6k kills with a primary just to get it gold and 2k kills with a secondary just to get it gold
People complain about levels but fail to realise , this isnt cod where another one is going to he released next year , this game is going to last years , it has to be a grind theres no annual release , with this longevity in mind i think its a good change
I could just be coping but to me the only thing that makes sense for such an increase in the camo levels is getting a decent number of earnable camos to go in between bronze,silver and gold.
I know xp gains are going to increase more but god damn doubling to get gold is insane, especially with no gains between so you grind 200 levels on one gun and you get nothing after all the attachments that you get pre level 50, kinda insane change
They better revert this change. I'd rather get roughly 2 levels a match, taking anywhere from 40-60 matches to get a weapon gold, rather than roughly 3 levels a match, taking anywhere from 50-70 matches to get gold. The grind for gold on every weapon in XD was already more time-consuming before this change than getting getting Interstellar on MW3, at least for me. What was the reason for making it harder when they have new mastery camos on the way already? With this change, I have a feeling that Gpld will be viewed as the ultimate mastery camo because it will be the most time consuming to aquire. I have a feeling the new mastery camos that get released will be locked behind challenges and aquirable before you even get Gold, making them feel less rewarding to unlock. This was a complete L change.
I've been grinding multiple guns at a time getting each one ranked up a good amount (not max) mainly because I get bored using the same weapon for long periods of time but before the update I only had one gun gold and that was the tac 50. Every other gun I have is rank 60+ and I was slowly getting them all to Gold with what little time i've had to play lately. This change just absolutely made me stop even trying to get gold on any guns now lol. I'm definitely going to play less because that grind factor is no longer there for me.
People were complaining there wasnt anything to grind for.. ran outnof challenges... they get given a huge grind - and now cry about it? This game isnt for a 1 year cycle. You have so much time to achieve this. I only just got some bronzes on my main weapons and started working on others... i actually like this change because i now can go back to my 'mains' more often opposed to getting blasted trying to play with the MDR
News flash, not everyone is a filthy overweight gremlin who plays video games with every moment of their existence, some of us have lives, it wasn’t easy and there WAS something to grind for, now, it’s just entirely pointless to even bother unless you’re 300lbs and on benefits
@@Manning0151 the game has been out for not even a month... you're telling me with a straight face you really think that in that time you expect to have unlocked all the camos on your loadouts as a casual player? If so, then wow you really have a short, tik-tok attention span. As I said, this game isn't an annual release. You have plenty of time to achieve the gold skin - theres literally no rush or need to be a sweaty 300 lbs streamer gremlin or whatever you think. The game should be about enjoying the pvp gameplay and having fun... it should not be about how fast you unlock a pretty colour on your gun.
@@hollisontherock where the fuck did i say i expect to have all the camos? lmfao, why bother replying to me when youve already had half the argument in your own head you dolt.
All they needed to do was make objective score count towards weapon xp - similarly to how cod works. Bc with xdefiant, only combat score gives you weapon xp apparently
The number 1 worst thing you can do for a game is delay gratification to gamers. Doing such a thing kills games, lots of gamers quit if things get pushed to unattainable heights without any reward. I really hope they don’t pull something dumb in the future like this with something important. Every companies slogan: “we listen and implement community feedback” Reality: 🧐 I swear I reviewed all the comments, who…asked for this?
the extent of the increased requirements for mastery camos definitely feels like a miss. Can't see anyone appreciating that and unless players are grinders or only use one weapon, it will take much much much longer to get gold etc
This was an update that shouldve been done on launch not a month into it. I work a 9-5 everyday then grind when i get home, just to feel like everything ive done this far has been for nothing. Very frustrating from my standpoint.
If I had to guess, XD is playing the long game. Since it’s a live service game, it’s probably meant to reward those who play long term. XD mastery will basically be the equivalent of max prestige. Sucks but I get it and it will be a flex.
There's a problem with that method, though, BO6 drops in a few months. Making the camo grind too long and unbearable for everyone isn't a winning strategy, especially considering what they have to compete with. I get the feeling XD will become a game you hop on when CoDs SBMM starts irritating you. There's plenty of time to fix this, though. But at the end of the day, it's Ubisoft.
3k XP from level 1-50, and 4k from 50-100. balances out the 3500xp you get attachments earlier, and xp to 100 will still be what it is now total. and then from 100-150 make it like 5k or something so its an actual grind for the elite camos
You have the right to be upset because I am too... Through all the 2XP weekends I leveled up most weapons to 50 so I could come back to them and finish them off with the attachments I preferred... I realized now that was a mistake... But something that made sense to me until this morning... Thank you Mark
I also noticed the footstep audio change. I sometimes hear enemies from very faraway where there isn’t much going on. I was also mistaking my teammates footsteps for enemies

I am pissed af about this. I replied to Mark's tweet respectfully criticizing the change and that it shall be reverted --meaning only the part of where the mastery camo levels would be reverted BACK to 50, 75, 100
JEV YOU CAUSED THIS BRO. When devs see someone gold every gun in 3 weeks obviously they're going to make it a longer grind
Ubisoft is going to kill this game before Black Ops 6 has the chance.
Yep sucks
bo6 would have killed it either way
@@keanukoren6109Bo6 will be a 5/10 at best because of sbmm. Don't act like cod is any good now
@@DogMakingSausage dont need to act . cod is good with or without sbmm .
@@Keloot 😂😂😂😂
Lmfao are they out of their mind? 17% XP buff, but 100 extra levels? I feel sorry for Jev (I don't play COD or XD)
I was working on my AA12 to finish out the Gold on the shotguns but after this update, i dont even want to grind it anymore. I feel bad for people that were 4 levels off from 100
Bro I’m genuinely tweaking because of the Elden Ring dlc. I. NEED. IT. NOW.
Jesus Christ rub one out to to it at this point
3 more days tarnished one
dog shit game, overhyped all because streamers are playing it lol
Same, I know that feeling, in my bones.
Few more days bro "eye twitches"😅
It’s like they hate us or something. They couldn’t just make leveling easier?
It’s all made up and arbitrary. Are you playing the game just to finish the weapons?
theyre are preparing for later mastery skins. Do you ONLY want gold forever?
@@R17759yes
@@JoesWatchingThen you’ve lost the plot
they don't like people who have a job apparently lol
Your amazing jev thanks for making my day almost every for 7 years
This change will change XDefiant for good. I do not like this update. Way too high of levels for me. Seems like they don’t like the casual gamers anymore!
this helps the casuals to get attachments faster in guns they want to level up, it makes the hardcore players play longer to get their camos
They made it to where you unlock attachments faster so it’s better for casual players but harder for those who want to get mastery camos (non-causal players)
@@potza579 After reading the comments, i think his viewers classify getting gold camo as "casual players"
@@potza579 It helps marginally though lmao
It's 500 less XP per level, that is barely noticeable.
@@potza579 The scale is off so far though. Most decent guns were fully leveled at 43, so 150.500 xp. Now you need 129.000 xp. That's really not that much of a change. Gold camos though went from 350.000 to 600.000. That's just too wild man...
You're a star, keep shining bright!
Hey simps, you heard the bot, I mean beautiful woman, LIKE HER COMMENT !😊😊😊❤
Pearl?
They should’ve just made the mastery camo at 200 level and OBJ points should count towards weapon leveling as well.
They also need Prestige mode in the game soon as possible.
Elden ring dlc so about to be peak 😭🙏
jev is the man fr, love his vids, especially when faded
Fuck that man, it's almost impossible now for a casual player or someone who doesn't have enough time on their hands to complete the gold camo, what a shitty change.
Nah its a good update for casuals to get good attatchments quicker on less meta weapons and fun stuff and for the hardcore players to grind more for gold and make it more valuable
Dont even want to play anymore because of this
that Mount Everest analogy made me audibly laugh out loud! Just started watching your channel, keep up the good work!
bro i got everything to lvl 50 then was gonna go gold I'm not even gonna get one gold now fuck this game lol
Same, and to make it worse there’s actually braindead no lives saying this change was good💀
My guess is the mastery camos will be level 300, 400, and 500. Platinum, Pristine, and then Aura. Maybe they’ll even keep adding more who knows
I've been waiting for this reaction.
Players: Guns take too long to level.
Mark: We made it take even longer!
One must imagine Sisyphus happy
how to kill your game 101
Agreed 😢
That kill sound not playing is going to bug the sht outta me. Glad they are fixing the net code though.
Free games are a breeding ground for this stuff just wait for them to sell 2xp
It's like halo infinite is leaking garbage strats
Yup after all It is Ubisoft. +3 years later of development and there’s still no incentive to play other then the now unbearable camo grind
They should’ve left it how it was and gave us 2 new mastery camos at 150 and 200
had all the smgs in the 90s switched to lmgs to try and wrap them up first then they do this i get ubisoft is dogshit but this is insane
Well it was fun while it lasted, looks like the higher ups at Ubisoft finally got their greedy hands on the development.
Instantly thought of jev lol
What they should’ve done is increased the camo level requirement by the same as the xp then you get attachments quicker and you’d get the camos at the same rate as before the change
Rip Jev
Did the math for anyone wondering. The XP gun change is not a small difference it is a HUGE difference. To get a gun gold you needed exactly 350,000 XP (aka lvl 100) before. Now for a primary weapon it is 600,000 XP to get to level 200. The change from 3500 to 3000 for each level is insignificant when considering the 3k is multiplied by 200 vs 3.5k multiplied by 100.
i was like yessssss then i was like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I was waiting for this one!
"what do you mean 'increased?'" Is probably the single most relatable quote from these patches.
I will say, because if the extra mastery camos we're getting in season 1, I think their plan is to keep Gold the "golden" standard and give us more camos in-between. However, I still think this is the single worst change without any context.
Like, they hear us. They read our stuff. They know what the community wants. We don't want easy access to gold, we just wanted attachments easier so that we don't feel handicapped against people that no life the game. Did they miss the point or is this preparation?
Yeah im done with this game, literally makes 0 sense.
It’s slap on the face to every person who supported the game since the beta and grinded this game 💯
absolutely
Loving the XDefiant stuff Jev but can you continue Ghost of Tsushima !!!
Maybe I’m just the odd one out, but I don’t need a BIG issue with “Mastery” taking longer. A month to max out all guns doesn’t seem intentional
Common Ubisoft L
This was the worst update ever. This is just going to make people not want to play objective even more. It already was bad that kill farming was so prevalent bc the only way to earn xp was kills but now increasing the xp needed with that being the only way means even sweatier not objective based lobbies smh. All over these shitty ass camos. Cod mobile has a better looking gold camo than this shit
Rip my man Jev, robbed of the gold while he was touching the finish line, feelsbadman
I know something else that’ll make everything harder
As someone who works a regular job and has things to do outside of work I only have time to play a few hours a day I haven’t even gotten 1 hun golden I thought the grind to 100 was hard enough
Really though
This change made my game completely unplayable due to graphical glitches. I made a video on it like 40 minutes ago on my morgflamegaming channel
As a casual player who doesn’t have much time to play I had just got my Ak-47 to level 96 yesterday. Logging on to see the level for gold is now 200 is completely unmotivated and disappointing I really hope they revert this update.
Today the community for this game was reminded that it's made by Ubisoft.
Its an interesting feat to further increase the grind on a game where everyone is complaining about the grind. Ive put this game down a few weeeks ago and im not touching it till its fixed properly and completely
I’m sure they’re devastated
Happy to see this game is also getting the Ubisoft treatment when it comes to updates. Gotta love dumb decisions and new bugs
The Ubisoft cancer.
Mark wants feedback on twitter or x whatever you wanna call it make sure to tell him to revert the camo level requirement let him hear our complaints
To be fair they’re expecting an 8 year game life
Jev it would be so dope if you played Still Wakes the Deep
I’ve been watching jev for like 10 years. There’s confidence and then there’s being full of yourself. He has both😂
Good thing is that they know what they're doing and yet they're still taking risks for something players were reporting. This is a good thing, they're listening to the community but not too much, they know how to do the difference between some whinnings and relevant feedbacks to take into account. This is very promising
With the new weapon xp adjustment/weapon level increase. It takes 6k kills with a primary just to get it gold and 2k kills with a secondary just to get it gold
Xdefiant is showing us all that cod actually has alot going for it. Sure, it may be shit show but it does alot of things right.
People complain about levels but fail to realise , this isnt cod where another one is going to he released next year , this game is going to last years , it has to be a grind theres no annual release , with this longevity in mind i think its a good change
I could just be coping but to me the only thing that makes sense for such an increase in the camo levels is getting a decent number of earnable camos to go in between bronze,silver and gold.
I know xp gains are going to increase more but god damn doubling to get gold is insane, especially with no gains between so you grind 200 levels on one gun and you get nothing after all the attachments that you get pre level 50, kinda insane change
They better revert this change. I'd rather get roughly 2 levels a match, taking anywhere from 40-60 matches to get a weapon gold, rather than roughly 3 levels a match, taking anywhere from 50-70 matches to get gold.
The grind for gold on every weapon in XD was already more time-consuming before this change than getting getting Interstellar on MW3, at least for me. What was the reason for making it harder when they have new mastery camos on the way already?
With this change, I have a feeling that Gpld will be viewed as the ultimate mastery camo because it will be the most time consuming to aquire. I have a feeling the new mastery camos that get released will be locked behind challenges and aquirable before you even get Gold, making them feel less rewarding to unlock.
This was a complete L change.
I've been grinding multiple guns at a time getting each one ranked up a good amount (not max) mainly because I get bored using the same weapon for long periods of time but before the update I only had one gun gold and that was the tac 50. Every other gun I have is rank 60+ and I was slowly getting them all to Gold with what little time i've had to play lately. This change just absolutely made me stop even trying to get gold on any guns now lol. I'm definitely going to play less because that grind factor is no longer there for me.
Fun fact: if you look down and shoot when a spiderbot jumps on your face it will be destroyed.
People were complaining there wasnt anything to grind for.. ran outnof challenges... they get given a huge grind - and now cry about it?
This game isnt for a 1 year cycle. You have so much time to achieve this. I only just got some bronzes on my main weapons and started working on others... i actually like this change because i now can go back to my 'mains' more often opposed to getting blasted trying to play with the MDR
News flash, not everyone is a filthy overweight gremlin who plays video games with every moment of their existence, some of us have lives, it wasn’t easy and there WAS something to grind for, now, it’s just entirely pointless to even bother unless you’re 300lbs and on benefits
@@Manning0151 the game has been out for not even a month... you're telling me with a straight face you really think that in that time you expect to have unlocked all the camos on your loadouts as a casual player? If so, then wow you really have a short, tik-tok attention span.
As I said, this game isn't an annual release. You have plenty of time to achieve the gold skin - theres literally no rush or need to be a sweaty 300 lbs streamer gremlin or whatever you think. The game should be about enjoying the pvp gameplay and having fun... it should not be about how fast you unlock a pretty colour on your gun.
@@hollisontherock where the fuck did i say i expect to have all the camos? lmfao, why bother replying to me when youve already had half the argument in your own head you dolt.
All they needed to do was make objective score count towards weapon xp - similarly to how cod works. Bc with xdefiant, only combat score gives you weapon xp apparently
The number 1 worst thing you can do for a game is delay gratification to gamers. Doing such a thing kills games, lots of gamers quit if things get pushed to unattainable heights without any reward. I really hope they don’t pull something dumb in the future like this with something important.
Every companies slogan: “we listen and implement community feedback”
Reality: 🧐 I swear I reviewed all the comments, who…asked for this?
the extent of the increased requirements for mastery camos definitely feels like a miss. Can't see anyone appreciating that and unless players are grinders or only use one weapon, it will take much much much longer to get gold etc
This was an update that shouldve been done on launch not a month into it. I work a 9-5 everyday then grind when i get home, just to feel like everything ive done this far has been for nothing. Very frustrating from my standpoint.
If I had to guess, XD is playing the long game. Since it’s a live service game, it’s probably meant to reward those who play long term.
XD mastery will basically be the equivalent of max prestige. Sucks but I get it and it will be a flex.
There's a problem with that method, though, BO6 drops in a few months. Making the camo grind too long and unbearable for everyone isn't a winning strategy, especially considering what they have to compete with. I get the feeling XD will become a game you hop on when CoDs SBMM starts irritating you. There's plenty of time to fix this, though. But at the end of the day, it's Ubisoft.
Jev roasting the other team for wanting to win lmaoo
I never knew how much joy a good kill confirmed sound brought me till this bug
3k XP from level 1-50, and 4k from 50-100. balances out the 3500xp you get attachments earlier, and xp to 100 will still be what it is now total. and then from 100-150 make it like 5k or something so its an actual grind for the elite camos
You have the right to be upset because I am too... Through all the 2XP weekends I leveled up most weapons to 50 so I could come back to them and finish them off with the attachments I preferred... I realized now that was a mistake... But something that made sense to me until this morning... Thank you Mark
I did the same! Bummed.
@@jtop5636 we in this together brother ...
Netcode feels worse for me personally, I’ve been getting sit behind corners way more today than yesterday.
I also noticed the footstep audio change. I sometimes hear enemies from very faraway where there isn’t much going on.
I was also mistaking my teammates footsteps for enemies
Right when I saw the tweet announcing these changes, I had you in my prayers lol
Jev’s Mount Everest comment made me think of the game Peaks of Yore, which isn’t a rage game but definitely in that category and Jev should play it
