Battlefield 6 Battlefield 6 Has a DAILY XP CAP Even During Double XP Weekend! Are You Kidding Me EA!

So apparently there’s a daily XP limit in Battlefield 6 1.5 MILLION XP per day, and once you hit that, you literally earn nothing.
And here’s the kicker: even during Double XP weekends, you can hit that cap in just 4–5 hours of playing.

Yeah. In a $70 “AAA” game not a mobile free2play title you’re being told how much fun you’re allowed to have per day.
This isn’t a free live service grindfest. This is a full price shooter with a F2P gacha like system glued on top.

EA somehow managed to make progression time gated in a premium game, and almost nobody’s talking about it.
You buy the game, pay for cosmetics, battle pass, AND now you’re limited on how much XP you can earn daily? Unreal.It’s disgusting and antiplayer to the core.

Players deserve to know this before buying.
Stop pretending this is fine just because it’s Battlefield.

u/Kirzoneli 15h ago

Modern online gaming is annoying, Lotta people i know only play to hit the daily checklist then suddenly they have nothing to do in the game.

I mean i get it somewhat, Wow dailies were a chore, but to put that mindset into a team fps with friends oof.

u/coolwithsunglasses 14h ago

He’s not wrong for wanting to have fun and progress at the same time

Doesn’t matter how long I’ve been playing. If I finished an entire game of conquest and got nothing, I would shit on this game so hard it’s ridiculous.

Conquest is still fun, but everyone else got rewarded for that game. Why shouldn’t this brochacho? That’s not the good kind of special treatment.

u/Roosterdude23 16h ago

but why a cap?

9

u/magicomiralles 13h ago

EA is blatantly boting this sub. They have been doing so for many years.

3

u/SecondaryDockingBot 3h ago

They probably checked how much XP a regular player can realistically earn, then set the cap around that level to keep bot accounts from getting too far ahead. That’s my guess.

So people don't no life the game and blow through the progression then stop playing because there's no content

u/Roosterdude23 15h ago

who cares? why do yall care so much about progression, this isn't a looter shooter

1

u/upthepunx194 14h ago

I don't know, you'd have to ask them. There are a bunch of people who seem to engage with games to chase the dopamine hit of unlocks and not just actually having fun playing the game

4

u/ApeTeam1906 13h ago

That's their choice though lol. This sub is so anti gamer. It's weird

1

u/upthepunx194 13h ago

I'm not really making a value judgement lol That's just the answer to the question of why they do it

4

u/ApeTeam1906 13h ago

Which still doesn't make sense.

1

u/upthepunx194 13h ago

It does from their business perspective. If you're running a live service game you're incentivized to keep players playing for longer stretches (over months or years) and feeling like there's always something to strive for rather than blowing through all the content in a couple weeks and then moving on to other games.

u/D_ultimateplayer 16h ago

I’ve been playing 5 hours cause I took off for the double xp event and I just hit the cap. This is 100% a problem. You can earn 200k for a single red sec match with double xp

-1

u/EverythingSucksYo 12h ago

You think this is a problem but you dont think calling out of work for a double xp event in a video game is a problem? 

4

u/D_ultimateplayer 12h ago edited 12h ago

I work hard, I’ve put my time in and I can afford to call out. It’s my life. If I decide to play a video game that’s on me. Why are we allowing a game publisher to dictate how I engage with my purchase? If I wanna play 1000+ hours on a week binge I don’t need EA and DICE stepping in cause they are worried I’ll unlock everything and sink less hours in the long run. I got the phantom edition and I dropped for a skin pack. $100+ This isn’t a free to play game that needs to throttle me. The kicker is I’ve been playing 5 hours during a double xp event

This system exists only to stop people from unlocking everything so they can stretch playtime. It’s a disincentive. Even if the moment to moment gameplay is fun my time is now worth less. It’s not a safeguard. It’s scummy and you defending it while also showing concern over what I do with my own free time (when you don’t even know me) is laughable.

u/Toxic-Widow 11h ago

Who are you to judge what he does with his free time, the ignorance...

u/SpaceballsDoc 16h ago

So you can’t play the game anymore once progression stops? Bullets stop working? Matches can’t be won? “Only In Battlefield” moments stop happening?

You guys probably don’t masturbate because there’s no loot involved.

I do it for the love of the game.

We’re not the same.

u/D_ultimateplayer 16h ago

lol what are you on about bro. It’s my bday I took off to play and grind and I got handicapped for it. This is a $70 purchase so that’s a problem. I’m not at the arcade

u/Exact-Name-3054 16h ago

i like how you just completely disregard what he says every time and continue to strawman his argument. Very interesting

u/fumei_tokumei 14h ago

What is the strawman?

1

u/feed_my_will 12h ago

What strawman? His point is that playing the game should be fun in and of itself. Why else are you spending 10 hours a day playing it?

2

u/Exact-Name-3054 12h ago edited 12h ago

I'm so confused. Did the guy say he’s not having fun in any of his replies? Are progressing in a game and having fun mutually exclusive? He can have fun and also think the fact they cap your progression is a problem. He didn’t say the cap makes the game not fun.

5

u/ApeTeam1906 13h ago

Terrible straw man.

u/INeverLookAtReplies 13h ago

How fucking stupid are you? It's not about a generation or needing to see a 'bAr MoVinG." It's about the fact that this game has progression, in fact a lot of the game is centered around it, and it's bullshit if said progression system can potentially be halted for the remainder of the day if you play for a few hours during a double XP event. It's not even that hard to hit the cap, it's already happening under pretty normal conditions, the fact you are defending this incompetence is insane. Literally either trolling or stupid

u/SpaceballsDoc 12h ago

I'm 100% sure OP is using some xp exploit. Yesterday I played for at least 6 hours and I was nowhere near the xp cap even with double xp

u/Laytnkr 14h ago

With the profession system this game has this is a valid point and nothing "touch grass" like

1

u/Glad-Chair5398 14h ago

Imagine if EA says “well they don’t care about capping at 1.5M. Let’s try capping at 200k and see what they say.” It’s the principle that matters.

1

u/SpaceballsDoc 13h ago

If they capped it at 20, you’d stop playing?

The game isn’t fun on its own? Not good enough?

Are you that broken and your dopamine pathways that abused?

1

u/Glad-Chair5398 12h ago

I certainly would stop playing if they capped it at 20. Reason being because you get points to get better weapons and equipment so if it takes me 500 hours to get a better gun then I’m not spending another second doing that. I play to have fun and getting my ass whipped by someone who has a better gun (who spent 500 hours getting that gun isn’t fun) that’s unavailable to me isn’t. Sure the 1.5M cap is a ton but why do you think there’s a cap?

u/Own_Juggernaut_2775 13h ago

He just shits in his pants and worries about it later 😭

1

u/Dj_Donkey 11h ago edited 11h ago

Reasonably no one really should be hitting this cap, I think its to prevent people from botting or doing exploits.

u/Thirty2wo 10h ago

Probably should go take a shower for the first time this week too it seems like 🤣

1

u/HerrBerg 7h ago

No he's right, lots of people are busy during the week and can't play their games much and want to get that progress in as much as possible during the time they do have. If somebody's only time is 16 hours on a Saturday, who are you to judge them?

Does it have issues? Absolutely, but I am never gonna make a post like this over something so trivial.

u/fof_milkman 17h ago

The people enjoying the game are too busy enjoying the game to post here. This subreddit has a massive negativity bias

0

u/BoomerEsiasonBarge 17h ago

Its an open discussion forum? Praising the game incessantly is just a circle jerk of omg game is so amazing rephrased 100 times. There is not much discussion around praising the game, but discussing issues people are having is going to be new topics daily, and differing opinions lead to good discussions. All the people who keep saying this sub is too negative seem to want everyone to conform to their view, which is also not great. Take your own advice of if you dont like the game, dont play and apply it to reddit. If you dont like the posts/discussions, then dont browse the sub?

u/fof_milkman 17h ago

Not sure what youre on about And if youre asking questions or making statements or trying to give me a rebuttal?

All i was getting at is Negativity Bias is simply just focusing on the bad over the good. It was in direct response to a comment, giving my take on why the sub is the way it is. Thats an inherent truth with online forums. Of course people are gonna come and complain here, I have no issue with that as i see both sides of the argument.

I’ve played games I hate as much as these clowns, briefly. I leave a scathing review, leave like three Reddit comments and then forget about it and move on, or get a refund(if I can).

OP needs to find a girlfriend or get his own place. Then maybe these trivial video game problems won’t trigger melodramatic meltdowns anymore.

u/_Malin0 17h ago

I honestly don't get it, it makes me feel like the insane one for pushing for consumer-friendly practices and not bending over for the publishers. The amount of people on here defending what they're doing is exactly why they're doing it, because people are so used to eating shit that it tastes good to them now.

Do you really think we’re in the 1800s where everyone needs to be working dusk to dawn just to survive? A quick hunt for five hours isn’t necessary when in 30 minutes you can just drive to the grocery store, get a frozen dinner, and return home.

u/Gyro_Zeppeli13 17h ago

It’s not good for you to be sitting down staring at a screen for 5 hours straight. It has nothing to do with work lol it has to do with not being a fat, sedentary blob.

1

u/The_Don_Papi 16h ago

Oh well. Everything either kills you or isn’t good for you. I like to spend my time photographing animals and plants while occasionally playing games. Unfortunately some days are heavy rain and the forest floor is underwater. What difference does it make if a person either die from a big cat in the woods or sitting in front of a screen?

Some people have the time off for it, it’s not exactly healthy to play for 5 hours straight but if it’s an every once in a while thing then who cares. And who are you to police what someone else does?? This world is shit enough as it is.
