Why did you make it to where casual players won't be able to level the battle pass to max? I've been playing for an hour and a half, completed all of my dailies, and haven't gained a single level yet. You took away the two levels you get weekly? Took away the xp gain way to get battle pass levels? And made some of these weekly challenges give miniscule rewards for outrageous work? I mean, 2 stars for placing top ten in 20 ranked matches? There is no way I'm going to complete this with the amount of time I have to play....
I've been playing since season 1 and have been able to casually level the battle pass to full every time, this new system is terrible.
EDIT: I also just noticed that legend weekly challenges only give you the option to play on 1 legend instead of being able to choose between 3 or 4...
Seriously, who came up with this for this season?
EDIT 2: In the spirit of not only complaining and offering a solution here are a couple. If EA and Respawn really read this forum you should take a look at all of these replies. This new battle pass leveling is the opposite of efficient.
Solution 1: Change it back to the old system, there was nothing wrong with it.
Solution 2: If you are set on this new system some serious changes need to be made.
- Xp per star should be capped at 5k max, or you should do an xp per bp level thing paired with the stars.
- Legend weekly challenges need to go back to having options instead of forcing you to play 1 legend. Mine this week is Loba who is my least favorite character in the game and I have to play 15 games with her for one level and do 5k damge for another. Why force us to play legends that we don't like? The dailies being a single legend aren't a big deal because they are easier and can be re rolled.
- Weekly challenges need to give the appropriate awards. 2 stars for 20 top 10s in ranked? 5 stars for 5 wins in ranked? Those should bare minimum be full levels if you complete them but ultimately shouldn't even be challenges considering some people don't even like ranked.
- Maybe add on top of the system, you can get a bp level for a win up too 3 per week? I don't know, but you shouldn't have to play for hours to get 1 level.
Remember, this isn't the only game a lot of people play. I play this game casually, 1-2 hours a day a few times a week, and up until this bp I have had no issue leveling it with that amount of play time. It truly needs to be fixed.

"Who came up with this?"
Probably some big wig at EA that had a "brilliant idea". Basically:
"If we make the pass more grindy, that'll increase player engagement and look better on our analytics. And maybe they'll buy some boxes or store items while they grind out the pass. That, or at the very least, the grindy pass will wear down the patience of the player and they'll buy BP levels!"
It's all about the money, money, money!
*Eye roll*

I don't like the new change. As an average joe with only two hours of freetime each day, I cannot even complete a level in just a day. This is ridiculous.

who do we complain about this too? because it will take me 10x as much effort to get to level 100 as last season.

New BP leveling is hot garbage. In their announcement they told us they were going to make it more "fun" or give more reason to do the challenges... the only thing they have done is to make the BP NOT worth the money. It's not fun, it takes WAY too long. complete all my dailies, and some of my weeklies, and STILL haven't leveled... are they freaking serious? this is stupid.

Yeah the leveling is completely awful this time around will likely not even finish out the battle pass even though I had finished all the previous ones. Won't be buying this or any future ones if its like this tbh.

Yup! They said they were going to make the pass more efficient for us players. I think they actually meant more efficient for their wallets. I played for about 3 hours, not a single level. What kind of * is that, * money grubber *. It was decent before. Man, I feel this will end apex unless they change it back or make more fair, much more fair, such as 1000 xp per star, rather than 10000 xp.
