Crucible DLC: Experience Gain

[Demiurge]

Hi,
i would like to know what you think about the level progression and the amount of experience you gain while grinding the arena.
In my opinion its much too less. I did expect the new dlc to be a game mode you can play completely independant from the “normal” game. But the level progress while playing arena is incredible slow. So you basically need to level up in story mode and just enter the arena for the loot (and the fun of course!!! xD)

Thanks for your feedback!

–> I just killed 40 waves and got my reward and my experience bar barely changed (Im level 40)

Zantai has already announced that the experience gain will be increased in an upcoming hotfix.

Hotfixes usually take anywhere from 2 days to a week. Depends on what they have to do. But, no, we don’t have a date yet.

It will never be a viable alternative to campaign mode- without faction gain your character will unable to use any augments.

Now the hotfix is there, but you still cant use the arena to level your character. Leveling in story mode is still 10x times faster :undecided:

My experience as well. Before there was almost no xp gain, now there is some but it’s still a relatively small amount.

I’m fooling around with this right now. At level 18/19, Wave 47 Karroz (and especially his 2nd phase) and then Salazar are really, really hard. I barreled through the first 45 or so, then had to chug all my 25 pots with those two, and had to bail out. And this was with > 3k hp and really good res for that level. With a retaliation Warder with maxed Briarthorn.

You aren’t going far enough probably. I’m finding it to be a little faster to level time-wise than the campaign.

I think that may not be a good build for a low-level crucible character.

Level 20 2H Warder. I just got the level 100 checkpoint. Some of the bosses have way too much health. (The 2 void leech bosses at wave 37 take about 6 minutes.) But nothing really bothers me damage wise. Going to see if I can push through to 150 now.
