    Is it just me, or did they forget to put the actual content in the program? A tiny conquest map worth only 15k, then that's essentially it? I know it's only just launched and they'll add more along the way, but that's pretty much nothing to actually do to get the experience (other than the usual "win 5 games of RS" etc)

      Is Double XP still active?

      They slowly rolled stuff out in the first inning and it looks like they're really pushing for more gameplay XP vs solid chunks. There's most likely 2 or more player programs which should be about 70k there. The Showdown will be another huge chunk as well.

      It just looks like they're trying to reduce the immediate completion and really fill the month. Previously you could lock the bosses, do the showdown, conquest and a couple other things and basically finish the program in a day.

        Just looks like not a lot to actually do though, especially as a mainly offline player. It's all well and good getting rewarded for playing, but you need a reason to play in the first place. Endlessly completing the US conquest map repeatedly isn't exactly riveting yet it's essentially the only offline thing to do that offers any reward at all

          Yeah, they're using a season approach for sure. Rollout during the season, not a 'all at once' program.

          Yet somehow....there are bosses for sale on the market....like....WHAT? 3 hours after launch?
          Play the games you love, not the games you want to love.

            That's gotta be a glitch for sure. I know there were a couple methods floating around and they haven't patched them yet.
