I was just wondering who likes the new xp system. I'm glad I am now getting more xp per kill, but could someone explain how it works. I do have a few problems with it.
First of all, to me, it seems completey random. The guy running around for twenty minutes with MCG is no less deadly then the same MCG guy who just spawned. I can understand (and agree with) getting little or no xp on people in standard armor, but a rexo with JH is deadly whether he has been alive for 30 seconds or 30 minutes.
Secondly, the xp system seems to now reward kills as opposed to teamwork. The number of snipers has jumped 3x (not complaining, just the motives are wrong). And you almost CAN'T level up unless you have MAX/TANK/REAVER certs. Where is the avd med luvin? Hackers? Gal Pilots?? AMS/ANT drivers? Granted if your in a squad, you get a share of your squadmates xp, but that really isn't the same. If I go
solo sniper/reaver pilot/Lightning/etc I can get 300+ xp a kill easy (seen 500+ with a beamer
) This in my opinion takes away from teamplay.
Needless to say my next cert will be AI MAX, as I'm now stuck on my 2nd day of BR11 with 6+ hours a day, and I miss leveling up.
