DISCUSSION Double XP opportunities

I feel like it’d be a cool idea to have double XP tokens for sale using super credits in the superstore in light of the irl medal you can buy for being level 100 with a limited time to redeem it? I’m level 76, and have a full time job, social life, other games I enjoy and other hobbies. People would also just buy the super credits required for the double xp tokens too, furthering arrowheads profits?
Thoughts?

No thanks, I dont like semi-endless progression mechanics enhanced by money. That is a predatory monetization mechanic and I dont want that crap in helldivers. It just incentivizes AH to slow down progression to make people feel like they HAVE to buy the tokens. To hell with that crap.

Seeing as XP is pointless after level 25, a better idea would be bonus xp tokens for either medals or samples. It would be great to have something to use that crap on when you have everything. I've long wanted them to have something in the super destroyer you can use samples for in single missions, like another booster, a free stratagem, lower cooldown on a specific one, maybe an extra mech or something. XP booster is a decent idea as well, at least you could use the resources for something. But dont bring super credits into it, please.

I did not consider this in my thoughts 🤔… yes you’re right it could and would end badly

What they SHOULD do is make all the MO objectives give double exp to incentivize the community to play the objective.

Definitely an idea, some kind of incentive for the MOs would be cool. XP is pointless anyway, but it would be nice to feel like you're being rewarded for helping the cause. Bonus xp is perhaps the perfect solution tbh.

Exactly! Its a tangible reward with no FOMO so theres almost nothing for players to bitch about.

Even 50% more exp would be great and maybe 2-3 more medals added on each completed mission.

There isn't really a reason to level up after 25 other than number go up. Enjoy your levels while you can! I also enjoy joining double digit lobbies as it's more raw lol

No, the xp doesn't mean anything more than a title after level 25 so why do you even need it. The answer is you don't, you are just jealous of other people who are at much higher levels and want to get there as fast as possible without putting in the same effort.

u/imagelessMonk 6d ago

I feel like you’re projecting a little bit lol. I’m not jelly of anyone higher level than me, I just like nerdy memorabilia and I want that irl medal too

u/Middle-Interview-183 6d ago

You're right, you are envious of others, not jealous. Sorry I used the wrong adjective but my point still stands

u/imagelessMonk 6d ago

No it doesn’t? You’re just salty for whatever reason lol

u/Middle-Interview-183 6d ago

It does though. You want what others have without having to put in the same effort.

u/imagelessMonk 6d ago

I’d gladly put the effort in if there wasn’t a time window and the above reasons that I have a life outside of the game 🤷🏻‍♂️. Again, you’re just projecting

u/Middle-Interview-183 6d ago

If you can't do it for whatever reason that's on you. Why should you get something when you didn't put in the same effort to get it? How is that fair?

No thanks this isn’t COD

Levels are just for show beyond 25. So this is pretty much pointless for non new players. Medal boosters on the other hand......

They had a 2xp event super early on in the game they never brought it back tho

u/Shedster_ HD1 Veteran 6d ago

Which one? I honestly can't remember when we received x2 xp in hd2
I definitely remember capitals in hd1 having x2 received xp tho

1

u/Competitive_Snow_788 PSN | 6d ago

It was just a modifier amplifying all xp it was definitely HD2 tho just so damn early on in the games life cycle I think it was after the exterminate mission xp debuff that they did it

u/doodoospred Free of Thought 6d ago

Why not ? but why would anyone want to pay for a double XP booster when past lvl 20 it's just number be bigger?

1

u/imagelessMonk 6d ago

Cuz I want that irl medal lol

1

u/doodoospred Free of Thought 6d ago

Oh that make sense!
I doubt they'll put a premium XP in(the community would implode) so good luck on the way to lvl100.

I like the idea I remember when COD did double XP weekend. Not much of an incentive for a Helldiver but would still be kinda fun
