Devs: Any chance we can get some clarification in this XP cap
-
Is it just for XP that is earned while playing?
Will any completions of Player Programs, Conquest, etc count towards the CAP?
I may not be playing as much this Program. If I decide to leave two or three Programs and the two Conquest maps till the last few days; will I get screwed out if XP as each Player Program can be worth an extra 20-35K just by finishing them.

Why don't you read the update? It is beyond self-explanatory. It is in game XP not programs and Collections and everything else. You will not get 35k a day trust me. If you do, go touch some grass.

That’s BS, it is stupidly easy to hit 35k xp in a day without even playing the whole day. 8 hours of conquest on a Sunday would put me at roughly 50k xp and still leave me half a day to do other stuff. This was an arbitrary number assigned by a moron
-
So you racked up 50k on a day during a 2x XP weekend?
Sounds like the number isn’t so arbitrary after all and they probably have internal metrics they used to come up with that number,

No, those numbers are from “normal” xp days. I am actually earning 3500xp a game from RTTS pitching (just finished a game a minute ago) and 3500-4000 from a conquest game during double xp. This cap is stupidly low

Please...do not give the dev that much credit. The reality is they're too inept to fix the actual problem and to cowardly to start banning people (or too inept to target the specific abusers to ban).
A problem with a batch of players solved with a community impacting "solution."

2X XP is on right now. So cut that RTTS number in half.
Also, this is like your 8th post on this in the past hour. Maybe they should have put a cap on number of board posts?

I understand the math (you obviously don’t). It takes 9 minutes to pitch a RTTS game and like 12 to play a conquest game. That works out to 10k xp/hour in RTTS and 6k xp/hour in DD. Which means the caps will be hit after between 4-6 hours of gameplay (which is way too low).

650K is too much to begin with. Why don't they come to the conclusion that if it wasn't so difficult, nobody would be trying to find a way to speed it up? I like a challenge, but 650 is way too much for those with a life. This seems like a penalty for those who put in the time. I don't care if they finish the program in a few days. That allows the player to play the game the way they want to for the rest of the month, and HAVE FUN. I know, [censored] the thought.

People that have the luxury of playing this game a decent amount 650k is too easy. For the casual only play this game a few hours a week the goal is the boss pack, not 650k. This was never a problem last year with program stars. Everyone was happy enough getting to the boss pack. 650k is not remotely difficult

Well let’s do the math…
It takes 350,000 just to get to the inning boss pack.
And 650,000 to finish the inning.
If you Max out XP daily, you can have the boss pack in 10 days.
You can have the inning finished in 19.
But…
The inning collection adds 50k off the rip.
The 2 evolution programs earn 20k each. For 40k total.
Assuming 2 player programs, that’s another 35,000 each for 70k.We’ll say collections for another 70k. Give or take.
25k per conquest, so 50k there.
35k for the showdown.
17,500 for the grindable missions. Available day 1.
They GIVE you 350,000 earnable XP just for finishing content.
That makes you responsible for 300,000 XP to play through to finish the inning. You can do that by accident.
So…in theory, today alone…
35k from playing.
50k for the inning collection.
25k from conquest.
17.5k from missions.
127,500 XP. -
Yeah I just posted this on the main XP Cap topic:
On non 2x XP days I easily get over 5K per game of Play vs. CPU against the Rockies at Coors on Rookie. This would mean I'd hit the cap in 3-4 hours, which is entirely reasonable and not "go touch some grass" territory.
That said, maybe this will force me to challenge myself at All-Star and higher, which I should be doing anyway to improve at the game.
I'm a parallel Superfractor junkie though. LOL.

Earned while playing. Not reward XP.

So, who wants to bet that this 'XP Cap Patch' somehow messes up and included the Bonus XP until they fix it?
Nothing like going to lock in the 3 Bosses to get 50K and seeing that you only got 35K and are 'done' for the day.
Again, I know that isn't how it is supposed to work. But, you know.......
