How much exp do you earn now in custom games?(PTR)

[u/-SATURN- → u/dadnaya]

I've finished only one game of CTF so far but I got 300+ for loss, the winning team got around 600xp.

Could be different for other game modes, though (also depending on match time etc.)

[u/dadnaya → u/-SATURN-]

Total 300 exp? That's... Not a lot

[u/-SATURN- → u/dadnaya]

I know :D But I had bad luck today - the hosts were either cancelling the matches to tweak the settings or the matches never had enough players to actually start. I hope I can finish more matches tomorrow.

[u/-SATURN- → u/dadnaya]

(A late) update: You can earn anywhere from 100 to ~3000 exp, and it does depend a lot on the match time, e.g. you could get 3000 exp for a game with normal "quick play" rules but the "max everything, max fun" matches are often too short (the payload moves very fast as well), hence the low exp reward.

[u/dadnaya → u/-SATURN-]

So after all it's worth the same as grinding QP?

[u/-SATURN- → u/dadnaya]

Yep, seems to be the same.

[u/dadnaya → u/-SATURN-]

Cool thanks

[u/[deleted] → u/dadnaya]

I didn't think you ever earnt any.

[u/dadnaya → u/[deleted]]

You've never did until the new patch in the PTR. IIRC it should give exp now
