Hero Progression!

General Discussion
1

Good Morning everyone!!

One thing I’ve noticed that no one is talking about from the new updates, (probably because no one cares), is the update to hero progression! We can now level up our heroes faster and I definitely noticed it playing last night. This is an exciting change for me because I’ve been on this goal to get all of my supports and as many heroes as I can all to level 60 for those pretty gold borders!

:pachimari_love:

Now I’m curious, is anyone else excited about this? Or just me? Does anyone also have some hero levelling goals like I do?

TBH I am trying to get my supports to 100 got a few around 100, but I have not noticed any difference to low amount we get to level them.

Yeah, one of the best things from the update for sure. :slight_smile:

Do we know by how much it increases the XP gained?

Definitely the best part of the patch for me. I just wish they gave us back time lost from ow1 as well.

Unfortunately I do not know by how much! I’m sure if you were to look into it you would find it somewhere?? I’m surprised they didn’t include that in the update link they posted yesterday :thinking:

Around 50%. A normal 8 min game gives normally around 800 XP, but now I get 1200.

SAME! I always wonder what level I would be as Mercy right now if they included OW1 play time. Feels wrong that I’m only level 243 with her yet I have 900 hours played as her :sweat_smile:

Not specifically for the progression system, but I do have a playtime goal of getting every tank hero to 100 hours. How exactly that ends up translating into hero levels, I guess I’ll see eventually :p

I am happy with it. I do like getting heroes to 50 for those lootboxes. Also it seems to be a 50% increase, but does some weird stuff when swapping. I’ve had some games where I got a 100% increase, and others with under 50% when adding up the amounts for multiple heroes I played in a match.

I only have 2 at 100+, Mercy and Moira! So far for level 60 I have Brig, Lucio, Ana, and Kiriko done!

Best change from the patch if you’re asking me! I just wish we knew to what degree the process is sped up. 20% 50%? Who knows

It definitely helps. Especially playing mystery hero’s most of my time is balanced other than my mains of course.

Maybe if all of you level up, I can finally show my 1000 levels without someone being an AH about it. :joy:

Maybe I’m tweaking… the leveling is still extremely slow.

I feel almost no difference.

Yeah, probably get loot boxes faster just leveling up now, rather than doing their horrible event.

Good morning even if I am 13 hours late and it is basically night time!

It is our TRUE anniversary gift. I am level 29 Soldier Boy right now. Grinding for that box, cuh.

I am super excited.

Seems to be bugged. I’m leveling just as fast as the previous patch.
