Any word on that?
NG stated (well, @Teeceezy anyway) that there would be a change in the xp awards in the next update.
With 1.9 coming, any clues as to how the xp is changing?

    We have to wait few days. I'm sure every day we will get more information about new update.
    Honestly I'm waiting for it the most

    If no change to xp from lvl 51 player, bye-bye until they fix it. I have a life to live & family obligations. Need break from very tedious and repetitive missions. I hope 1.9 addresses the xp issue. Anyway hearts of iron 4 will be out and civ 6 within 6 months. I get more enjoyment, strategizing than this as it is. But thanks to NG for listening to feedback. However, cost is piracy.

    BTW, I am ashamed & embarrassed to admit letting NG con me out of $500 which I really can't afford. That is half-month bill for our groceries. Better to play civ & hearts of iron, you get real value for your money instead of smoke and a con job. My fault.

    It was definitely stated some weeks ago to that the xp economy would be fixed in the next update.
    I'm gonna hunt the statement down cos I know I didn't imagine it!

    Yes. NG said that xp mechanism need to be fixed by client not on server side and definitely with update 1.9. Few more days and we'll know everything ;)

    I could be wrong but I don't recall hearing that we would earn more XP, just getting more on trade in value.

    "XP mechanism" can mean a lot in my opinion

    Like I said - if nothing will change in XP in overall I will not spend any more £ on this game.

    They nerfed XP in the new challenge schedule anyways so they're actually working against progress on this XP

    Experience by the millions is easy for players exploiting 7.4 and 9.3 via bluestacks or root macros.Once that's fixed then they can rebalance the game for the rest of us legit players.

    "Scrap XP - get 25% of upgrade costs back when you scrap equipment"
    first step in right direction....

    I remember seeing a post about that but I don't remember it saying it will be in the next update. I read it would be coming in the future. But if someone can find the post and quote it then you could prove me wrong :p

    I know for sure the scrap cost on upgraded weapons was going to be adjusted this update but again I don't remember the general XP "fix" being scheduled for this update.

    The only problem is now I can't legitimately spend my time killing walkers. Disabling access from bluestacks would have been a better solution.

    This actually doesn't fix the general XP problem

    Maybe they will increase like 50 gold unlimited gas / double XP boost packs u can buy for 24 hours instead of a pony 1x bonus gas/XP

    The key, to me, is how that gas and double XP booster works. Could make the pure economics of the XPs needed to upgrade less prohibitive in that we can get them a little bit easier now and again.

    I think we won't ever get rid of players who exploit usable mechanisms.

    But double (XP) rewards + scrapping would definetly put more value on finishing missions, which in turn would make farming less interesting.

    And earn some $ for NG, as players would be using more time watching videos & buying "open 3 extra chests"...

    win/win :wink:
