ANOTHER issue with the XP Cap
-
What are the chances they coded these changes correctly and people do not lose EXP normally I would say were prolly safe but this year the track record for SDS kind of sucks

Dumb question here, but say I lock in the 3 bosses for this new 6th inning, and do the conquest tonight. Does this cap mean I won't get the full 70k of XP?
Cap isn't supposed to include collections, conquest, showdown, etc., so you should be alright.
That said, I have the 3 bosses ready to lock in but will probably wait to see that someone else has posted that it's working as intended.
Exactly. Keep in mind the guys the coded this patch are the same ones who didn’t have the skills to just fix the exploit itself.
Question: How would you have them fix it without it having any affect at all on regular players?
Just reduce xp from play now (which is primarily where the problem was) and potentially a slight nerf to xp in RTTS to keep in in line with conquest on an xp/hour basis. It’s not really hard and the blanket approach was entirely unnecessary.

Keep it up, always a great strategy to insult people and their abilities.
People you know nothing about nor the inner workings of the game.
CRY MORE!!!!

I'll just cut my losses and move on to another game where I don't have to worry about not being able to play WHEN and HOW LONG I want to play.
The game isn't stopping you from playing. You are deciding that playing the game without XP is not worth it. There is a big difference.
I go back and forth on this. I understand the need to optimize your playtime, and that playing without earning XP is not optimal. But then there is also a part of me that says aren't we playing a baseball game because we enjoy baseball first and foremost?
It's a conundrum
-
If you are capped at xp, work towards getting your BR rewards, work on your event rewards, play RS and try to get to your 40 wins (only way I will get those cards because my [censored] cant make WS). There is still plenty of things to play for besides XP. Xp is really only good for the program anyway and that is one very small aspect of the game.

This is the solution that should have been implemented.

And how does that not affect legitimate players who use those two modes?
Or is it simply a better solution because you don't play those modes?

This XP cap is pure BS. I'm trying to grind out the inning program so I did the Shark map to get Miggy as well. Now I'm playing the Nats on All Star to get Zimmerman. I've already hit my cap for the day. So I can't make any progress for the new innings program tonight through actually playing games. It was all of 3 hours of play.
This is utter nonsense. -

This is utter nonsense.Did it tell you that you reached your CAP? Or are you assuming that since you reached 35K; you can't get anymore?

Yup mid game a screen popups saying "Warning: Daily XP cap hit. No more XP can be earned through gameplay for 10h:24m"

This is utter nonsense.Also, the XP you got for collecting Miggy should've be counted towards the cap. If it is being counted, then that's an error on SDS's part.

It wasn't. It was from the 8-9 conquest games I played on the shark map and 5 innings of a Play vs CPU on All-Star.

Wow! If that's the case that they started it BEFORE the new Inning dropped, it's pure BULL$HIT.
Starting to look like I'm done with this game.

Yeah I'm about done as well. I can't play this game every day because I do adult things like work so I can afford to buy this game every year. I spend the majority of my time playing on weekends so it's easy for me to hit the 35K cap just from playing games. This company makes some mind boggling choices.
And why do it at the end of the games cycle? They can [censored] right off.

@the_dragon1912 said in ANOTHER issue with the XP Cap:
While there is good reason not to play today until the program drops, so few people will actually hit the xp cap that it won't be a problem after that today. I've played almost 400 hours of DD and have not once been close to getting 35k of regular xp in a day
35k is roughly 10 games of conquest on All Star. So now im limited to games where Iwaste my time with no XP. Thats no right. They let people stubs transfer and glitch xp with no ramifcations. Call of Duty can get rid of those people that cheat but the Show cant? Thats bs.

It seems they haven't turned double XP off but you have a regular XP cap. Thats an issue for sure, but you aren't getting that much XP for those games when double XP is not turned on

It's just an unnecessary restriction that punishes people who don't exploit the game. They basically said, "We don't know how to stop the exploits so let's punish the entire game playing base."

XP exploits have been in this game since the beginning of DD. They usually patch every single one, but more and more continue to pop up. An XP cap works as a catch all instead of wasting resources on patching 40 XP exploits. If they implemented this at the start of the season, like they did in 19 and 20, we wouldn't see a single word about this by the community

Then they should have implemented it at the beginning of the year and not this late in the cycle. And then to compound matters they do it on a double XP day when one program is ending and another starting. So anything I do tonight within gameplay does nothing for the new innings program.

Well. As pissed as I was I made it to 650K with 5 minutes to spare and packed Trout.
