Match Bonuses? : Othor Games

Do you get extra XP at the end of a match for doing well overall, an if you leave early you don't get it? Or is there just no bonus?

I hope not. Would remind me of CoD.

I hope so. Extra XP is always a plus, no matter what it reminds me of.

Yeah okay. I guess we will see.

I'd hope you get extra XP for winning, but I'd imagine that'd already be reflected in the XP.

i cant think of a way for it to not be pointless, you get your xp when you do you job, it would just be awarding a random number at the end of the round for no reason.

A properly balanced experience/point system does not need to award points out of game. IMO

The reason would be that you stuck with the game to the end. Granted, players should not need reward for that, but it does act as a good incentive for people not to quit.

I haven't heard anything either way.

I don't think bonus for winning is necessary when you win by getting more XP.

A "finish" bonus for everyone who stays in for the whole match might be nice though.

heheh giggity

Personally I think since theres so many systems for rewarding players for good, selfless behavior, why not throw it a finishing bonus just for SnGs?

I hope you dont get xp if you leave a match that ways those that leave there team short handed suffer for there decision.

Well you will never be short handed because of the AI and I dont think there will be match bonus points for anyone.

I don't think so, you get XP for so many things like getting hits, killing, reviving, doing objectives, etc. etc., so I don't think they'll give you MOAR for just going through the round.

I wonder....do bots get XP?
Think about it.

They posted on the Splash Forums somewhere that everyone who stays the entire game gets an experience bonus, with the winners getting a slightly larger bonus. No individual XP bonuses though, so the winners might get 150 xp while the losers get 100 xp. If I find the thread, I'll post a link here.

Well they level up alongside players, so I can only assume so.

Or they hack because we weren't nice enough to give them XP.

I do wonder if they get listed on the scoreboard though...

I know but i still count this short handed as an AI Bot can never compare to an actual person
