XP Fix for Skywars

I, Anzo, believe that Skywars’ XP distribution is rather slow-going. I believe that some experiences are best designed to be methodical and ultimately, rewarding. However, I personally believe Sky Wars’ system is far too slow.

The recent treatment of games such as Ground Wars and Speed Builders has presented me with a feeling of gratitude, fulfilling a much needed ease for games I care about.

As it stands with Skywars, it objectively is one of the best experiences available to the community; I believe the road to max level should be somewhat more accessible.

They literally recently increased XP when the Prestige update came, just get Hive + or ++ if that’s the case

However true that may remain, I have prepared some mathematics to illustrate my stance.

In a solo hypothetical:

  • One wins every two games they play (50/2 XP)
  • 5 kills/game and get the team elimination bonus (60 XP + 40 XP)
  • 50% of the time, they kill a kill leader (/2 XP)
  • 50% of the time, they open ONE mystery chest (15/2 XP)
  • It takes them 4 minutes to win a solo game.

On average, that is 137.5 (138) XP/4 minutes.
To acquire level 100, which requires 566,100 XP:

566,100/138 = 4103 games.

If every games takes 4 minutes, that is 16,499 minutes (11.45 days) of ONLY playing the game.

Say in this hypothetical, one has Hive Ultimate, a 75% XP boost.

137.5 × 1.75 = 240.625 (241)

566,100 / 241 = 2349 games
= 9396 minutes (6.525 days)

At best, it’s a non-stop week of grinding, and that is disregarding any additional time during the pre-game lobby.

I agree the xp is too little. I have played over 200 times and am only level 5.

I dont have the effort to read all of this. But the point is made clear and I understand it. Im lvl 72 in Sw. Havent played for a few months and when i came back i realised the xp gain is so slow. i won 10 games and barely moved up a bar. Its so annoying. I dont wanna no life the game.

No offence, but I think that might be down to skill. In about 50 games I could probably be lvl 15+, so it’s not that the XP is bad, its just something else

I’m currently lvl 25 with 1212 games played and I can assure you that 90% of those games I was trapping, or messing around. The xp is fine.

So, you’re still on the easiest levels, they get harder as you level up. 1000+ games for level 25 is super slow

If I was actually trying to win instead of doing who-knows-what I could be lvl 25 in 200 games

200 games for the easier levels is still ridiculous. I’ve played a lot of hive in my life, and skywars is one that I won’t ever try to attempt to max as it’d have to be the only thing I play for years. 200 games is maybe okay-ish(bit low, itd be more like 300) for the levels between 75-100, but 1-25 is insane

I’ve played 3400 games of Skywars and am prestige 1 level 18, but it still takes such a long time and took a while to get to where I am. I plan on eventually getting prestige 5 but it just takes so long to do, so voted.

I think the problem behind all of this, in the end it’s sweats. They make it much harder to get xp

same. gulp Im 26 in 3000 but again I would lose every match super quick because I used to suck, but now I’m getting better

really?

Thatd be the most ideal amount of games needed if it was non stop winning. Could be in the 400s if you lose or do bad every once in a while. Once again, that is the ideal amount in my eyes, not what it actually is.

Btw thats not even 9% of the xp needed to reach level 100. Level 25 is right under 8%. The xp is super slow even with the buffs they did when adding prestiges

im sorry I’m confused where does 200 come in

Comes from this :up_arrow:

I was saying that is still a crazy amount of games needed for the first 25 levels since theyre the easiest of the levels.
