go cap a contested base now. ya they reduced toher things but go see the bep now.
Last night on markov my squad had two caps that were over 7000 bep. 4000-5000 bep is actually kinda low if youre working on a heavily guarded base. about 5500-6000 seemed the average.

Also rehackes give alot more. Our base was hacked in the middle of a big fight. We rehack it in about 1 minute then vila another 1700 bep.


no system will be perfect. The currenty system is fine. Only played for two days im at br9. Didnt play all day either.

there will either be rewards for ppl who do nothing but hide in bases (now). or not enough rewards for people who do things. Its fine how it is. Ya kills dont get alot but atleast it gives <3 to the gal pilots and the medics and engineers. per kill IS much lower but there are alot more kills to get BEP from now. Also the BEP of a kill has a new factor in it. How long the personw as live before the kill. So spawn killing and ppl who just ran out of a tower wont give you anything. Ive still gotten kills at 130-140 xp just not from spawners. those are mostly snipers whove been living a while

Some people are mad at the amount of XP, but that is fine with me. My issue is there is no any reward to do anything except cap bases. We need people to defend bases critical in the lattice, but there is no reward for doing so. Except to let it get hacked then save it.

my reward is guarding/attacking that base. Its not like were walking in and hacking. The fun in taking a heavily guarded base or guarding a base from both other empires is more then enough reward combined with the bep of the hack. IMO you shouldnt be able to level up by driving around running ppl over or picking ppl off. you gotta partake of base capture/resecuring you can sit in the soi and do all the toher things. Then again i dont find it fun to be away from a heated base cause its boring out there =/

So what will the reward be for defending a base if you are already BR20? What will be the reward for capping a base if you are already BR20 CR5?

It's all about the game play. I enjoy thinking up cool ways our squad can take/defend a base with our current resources. It's rarely the same experience twice.

I'm not saying that I think the XP system is great, or that it can't be improved, but to be honest, I'm just happy to be playing the retail version of the game. Let the XP fall where it may, I'm having fun.

I think there's more of a flaw in rewarding the cap more than rewarding the fight. I think that the majority of XP should come with battling opponents whereas the cap should be a nice little bonus. By making it worth so much more, they are changing the focus of gameplay from fighting to capping. In that sense I agree with you guys, but in the grand scheme of things, it will all work out.

Well, yes, I do things like base defense and tower attacks because they are fun to me. My fear is that the majority of the players out there won't. Maybe I'm just worried over nothing. I had lots of fun last night in a turret fighting off the hordes of TR Maxs swarming the base. I really like when they get pinned behind a rock in the middle of no-man's land. :)

As a commander, BEP sucks. You can't get it period. Commands have to spend twice the time leveling now that they've severely crippled their ability to collect BEP.
