[POLL] Your Thoughts on XP Boosters

So, recently introduced to boost XP for 24 hours, and currently only available for platinum, meaning real money. Your opinion:

  • Ditch XP Boosters Completely
  • Keep XP Boosters As They Are
  • XP Boosters for purchase only using In-Game Credit
  • XP Boosters purchased using In-Game CR or Platinum

Picked “ditch Xp boosters entirely”.

Stuff like this is what I expect in F2P, not a title I payed 85 euro’s for.

Ditch it entirely.

It has no place here. I will not spend any in-game or real money for this crap.

I’d like them to be available for in-game currency if they’re available, but I’m not as salty as I thought I’d be about them being around or being only available for Platinum.

My reasoning is based on a deep concern that the suits behind GBX and 2K are not happy with Battleborn’s numbers. They want to see that bottom line rise. Otherwise, they might pull the plug once the promised content is delivered.

I think Battleborn is a great game, and it could be great for years. Seeing it fail before it can really spread its wings would be frustrating.

I just see no point in them. Many many CR100-players beg for more content to grind for for months now, why making it easier to reach the top, considering most players on the top are bored or waiting for more content? Its not making any sense to me.

I understand they need more MTs to finance free maps and following content, but I think purchasable voicelines & callouts would be the way to go.
I have not purchased any skin or taunt yet, but I´d so buy the hell out of voiceline-packages! :heart_eyes:

But that involves the cost of getting voice actors back in to record.

I am max command xp, and character xp comes fast enough that I feel no need for xp boosters. However if they had sold lore unlocks for plat I would have been in trouble.

Thats true indeed, but though I more thought about potential voicelines they recorded but cut from the game.
I heard that in the early versions the characters had far more chatter, thats why I secretly hope GBX has a stash of unused/uneleased soundfiles^^
If not you´re completely right, it would take far to much money to get the VA´s back to work.

Tried it. It gives double XP to command and character and double credits. Keep it. But allow it to be bought both with credits or platinum.

Well i dont mind, i mean is easy to get exp, i dont see how they are geam breakers, i have no reason to not support them.

If they add credit boosters i will rage, or increas drop rate booster, back when we ony had 7% chances to get one legendary.

Right now exp boosters like skins dosent affect me at all. (Maybe some taunts do)

Is not an option you gave. I would vote for fixing the game so no one would want to use boosters.

If there are parts of the game people (some) don’t want to play then why make people play them?

The concept of charging people real money to not play parts of the game they don’t like is ridiculous.

personally I didn’t even know it was a thing, and for myself I don’t care either way.

If they are trying to get my money it wont work, but I don’t hold it against others if they want to level up quicker

Fair enough, although I’m really not sure how you would do that. There will always be some players who simply want to get max level NOW without putting much time/effort into getting there. If you have any ideas on what such a fix might look like, that wouldn’t simply entail removing boosters completely, I’d be interested in hearing them.
