FAST EXP LEVEL UP EXPLOIT & BEST FREE FARMS! MARVEL Strike Force

[@dman6363]

Can confirm. I started playing around christmas break and I just hit 90 (62 days total since I installed the game). I just noticed that my XP bar (to 91) is almost empty and this entire time it was like 80-90% full every level prior. So I think the boost was definitely active for me this whole time for sure and just stopped once I hit 90. I do core and place around 50-60 in arena and do all events. I never played prior to this and thought that this was just normal! Now I feel bad but also very lucky.

[@tylescope6674]

have you made any purchases on gear, gold or training mats to keep up with your commander xp growth? do you feel like your roster is able to compete in cosmic crucible compared to players at similar levels? genuinely curious

[@dman6363]

Yes the battle and strike passes, some training mats and a few character unlocks which I suppose helped me get through all the campaigns and whatnot. Yes I have been pretty decent in CC and (admittedly I have no idea how the matchmaking works for that) I believe I have won 80% of CC's and have gotten MVP in war a few times. The thing is I was able to research which teams to invest in and at my level I think I picked correctly. I started with SD, and got xtreme xmen and hive-mind (most of the new teams seem to spank the older teams even with less gear). Investing in those early helped me get pretty decent in PVP and PVE honestly. I was just able to unlock all the horsemen too mostly with those teams.

I’m 90 days in and did not get a boosted account and it’s crazy that the boost shaves basically a year off reaching lvl 100. In what world is that fair especially when a huge majority of the progress in this game is gated behind lvl. Those 90 days I played will take a boosted account to lvl 100 while I still need to play another year is disgusting. They need to heavily reduce the amount of time it takes or implement ways to earn more exp the more active you are. I can only imagine how crappy it feels for people who spent a few hundred buying time heists to only be passed by people who got boosts for free. It’s clear they don’t intend on compensating and will just sweep it under the rug so everyone forgets in a few months.

[@Whatahit]

This game design require you to spend a lot of time

[@size15shoeswinkwink]

I love how people think this is a test of finding out how to help new players the most. Let's be real; the reason is they want to see which progression system makes new players want to spend more on the game.

[@x420_WRLD]

i got a sponsorship from this game with stream elements and im leveling up hella fast

[@Timesplitter_01]

The Reddit post "I went from Level 80-90 in 5 days, Bug?". From January 2024. You receive all the level ups from the levels you skip during the time hiests. So anyone that has one of these boosted accounts could theoretically land up at Level 90 in 5 days buy buying all the time heists

[@jojetcatayong7481]

New player here. Started 51 days ago. I do not have a boosted account. I have spent +$200 in the game and am only at level 66. I am missing out on so much according to this information. This needs to be corrected... I really do love this game so far but this is so unfair. They need to do something about this. I'm sure there are many others in this same situation.

[@baconwafers4928]

Running 2 F2P accounts, sorry I'm an addict. I like the RNG. So my secondary account is a boosted one apparently. the XP difference is huge and it effects all aspects of the game. Here is good info to show. Both accounts as of today are Level 82. That is where the similarity ends. Main - Days played 295. Collection Power 9,342,840. Secondary - Days played 64 Collection Power 1,849,379. Nowhere close on the second account to being able to complete certain progress points to not having any of the ones that require older characters.

[@manikusjedi]

The same here - main is 120 days, level 72, and 4M power; 2nd is 40 days, level 69, and 1M power. Everyone in my alliance is boosted. And A/B testing is more than XP, I retrieved 30K war store credits for example, before I even had access to war. through level 40, i was receiving 2K Blitz and 1K Raid credits at every level up, as well. And lastly, until level 65, the blitz even milestones were about half as much, though in two cases both giving shards, there was only 15 available total instead of 21. I'm F2P, so this is just a thing, but if I were paying and not boosted, I would be upset aand would definitely be contacting support and devs daily until they made it right for my account.

[@Kamoenani]

Sounds like they are indeed working on the new player experience and the impact of boosting the XP to help newer players catch up and maybe improve retention. If the outcome is conclusive, they may generalize it at a later time, but it's just a bad time to start the game. Or they may be more slyly testing player conversion mechanics - we want to keep a playerbase replacing departing players with new ones, but a paying player is worth more than a non-paying player. They might be trying to see if progressing faster is increasing engagement letting people unlock things earlier and play the game more and possibly spend due to greater engagement and/or running out of lower gear & mats if they've been leveling so fast they are (with entry level offers as they're worth less and it's easier to keep spending when you've popped your spending cherry than when you've never spent a dime) and if it pushes non boosted accounts to spend to try to keep up with boosted accounts. Frustration & competitivity will reveal pay to play and weed out some free to play. They're probably counting on newer players not following reddit & CCs enough yet to be aware of the unfair disadvantage (and since only a fraction of players engage with that anyway, most may remain oblivious to the fact). But it sounds like it's coming from the same place of logic that makes them yank borked offers before too many people notice only to then have to put them back up anyway. I'm not affected by that as I'm nearing 98, but I hope it gets talked enough about that they eventually compensate negatively affected players (maybe the supposed tokens to boost characters?).

[@mrstephen43084]

The envoys have been discussing it, they just don’t have additional info to provide. Well, that’s not 100% true. My understanding is Dorky was going to make a video about it and asked the devs about it. After he got the answer, he didn’t say what that said, but said he would not be making that video any more. But even Dorky has brought the issue up in other videos.

[@Boilon]

There is basically a gag order on it (you can tell when people don't report enough on important issues). Yes it was talked about before that occurred, I said as much in the video that others have spoke about it but not to any great length or have followed up, because they can't. I'm not beholden to these issues though. Thanks for the comment though :)

[@urmoonfaiiry]

So with the boost, does it give extra xp from the first level up or later on into levels?

[@oscarmayer3683]

Do you know the best way to score more points, once you reach the upper floors of the tower? Is it better to fall to the 35th floor or even lower? What is the right way? Thx!!!

[@justanotherdoomguy]

I’m currently stuck at lvl 68 getting so bored with the slow grind towards 70 where a lot more campaigns that will help me are locked behind it, it’s super frustrating

[@gideonxl660]

Hey man I agree whole heartedly with what you said I think all of those pain points are significant and are valid. I want to just mention something on the advocate side of things. Its possible that they want to test how the economy holds up with a boosted account growth rate. accelerating the growth to roughly a years time is great. However if people cant keep the toons leveled and geared than you stall at some point. My baby account isn't boosted but the economy seems much more robust, I'm flying through content and able to build teams much quicker than last year. But i have talked to some players within the last month that seemed to have accounts that where out of whack. I didn't know about the boost until recently so i didn't ask if that was part of their experience. But i have seen some high accounts with they main toons at much lower level than their account level. That itself isn't proof of anything, many new players don't understand how to go about managing their roster so we are happy to help if possible. Perhaps they just want to see what the real limits are before they make it permanent. Just a passing thought. Keep up the good work.

[@Boilon]

I take what you say regarding resources/bottlenecks but honestly getting access to things that quickly just makes everything easier (esp once you access events). There may be some bottlenecks in form of T2s (this is a thing!) and some odd stuff, but realistically getting that fast to some other content is still HUGE. What I personally would like to know is how wide the scope of this really is. It actually still is ongoing as we speak, some people in my Discord tested it and actually activates as early as level 20s now... I didn't know this part. Thanks for the comment though :)

[@gideonxl660]

Interesting. So some people had it right away from level one for a period of time but others it kicked in later.

[@zebrion5793]

I think you hit the nail on the head with the boost issue - it's not that people are leveling faster, it's that not EVERYONE got that advantage, and that advantage they gained, even if it's just for a month or two, is PERMANENT time advantage that can't be gotten back. Even if everyone else is "caught up" on experience, those are days of having access to farming, days of character shard access that you can't make up for, days of arena shard dominance converted to power cores. This is perhaps the WORST thing you can do to any mobile game.

[@Fabian99919]

I dont mind them testing and trying to improve. I also dont mind to have to grind my way up to 90 while others get there very soon. The only thing that really upsets me and i think is just not fair is that boosted and non boosted accounts dont have seperate arena pools, they should at least seperate those 2 at least until non boosted get to lvl 80.

[@Boilon]

Rightfully so about the arena shard tbh it’s a huge advantage

[@DanstevGraker]

I definitely wouldn't say no to that boost! I just hit 69 and am looking forward to unlocking the rest of the content over the next 6 levels. I've been grinding and I'm pretty much right on track with your timeline on your spreadsheet. Might hit 70 by day 99, if I'm lucky. I didn't see the boost so I doubt I'll get it going forward, but given the timeframe involved, that boost would be huge and very welcome for people trying to move towards the current meta.

[@MultiHungus]

Give any new players from the time they started the boosting program all the XP others got up to level 80-85. then put everyone on the same XP earning rate.

[@Boilon]

I think this defeats their testing purpose though. They want to know how it impacts vs not, they need that A/B right now, and they want to know how it influences spending patterns.

[@AironMSF]

It's really bad what they did. I have been playing for about 7 months, today I rose to level 84. I consider myself a good player, in all pvp modes I play against people x2 or x3 times my TCP. and a few weeks ago I understood why, so many people with a level advantage against me, so many resources and time wasted. If I had had the advantage of experience I would currently have Apocalypse and Dormamu and probably on my way to SS. The truth is that it is difficult for me to imagine what the compensation would be like. a lot of gold, experience, power cores and different types of lost credits. I spent some money on the occasional pass but not much, I imagine the anger of people who spent 100-350 dollars to go up to level 80 with those offers. I think the best solution would be gold, training modules and levels for everyone, but I don't think they have the intention of doing so and they are going to pass it off as if nothing had happened.On the other hand, 80% of the level seems too much to me. New people won't have any idea what to do. I consider 40/50% ideal.

[@ybbxBxbby]

You’ll be disappointed when you find out they are gonna give you absolutely nothing. There won’t be any compensation 😂

[@AironMSF]

That's what i said 😅

[@Ileffi]

This XP boost thing is absolutely ridiculous. In my arena shard I kept up pretty well up until Level 50 or so (I joined the shard late, so being a bit behind was expected). Now I'm 63, and at least top 100 is basically all rocking T14 gear while I'm another week of Gear 12. I've spend a couple hundred quid on the game already, but this is completely sucking out my will to play, as no matter what I do, I won't be able to match those people for months and months now probably. Very disheartening. Now that I understand the full scope of this and how badly behind I am on everything, I'm going to look to ask for a full refund - as a competitive player I see no other way as there's no real way to be competitive now.

[@Carcerian]

Love the boilerplate gaslighting response...

[@littlekid666]

I have played 95 days and lv67 now. I hope my acc can get boosted but unfortunately not for me. It make me uncomfortable as many people get boosted and reach high level in few days….

[@sebastianstark8517]

Charlene's response is a canned response (catch-all). I've received the exact some response for other issues I've reported. Lame. In a competitive game like msf, all players need to be on equal footing. If not, it's just a scam.

[@pyrocix]

just give everyone still under 90 35 levels stopping at 90. This would put them allot an even playing field.

[@gregmartinez7881]

Hey man mobile made a video about this with his wife a few days ago

That's cool. They're mostly under gag order now though, it wasn't then.

[@fahlmancomputing8628]

Why are you calling it an XP exploit, when it isn't something that anybody can exploit. Feels like clickbait.

[@ybbxBxbby]

You can exploit it, you just have to make a new account until you get one with the boost. Nobody is gonna do that

[@Boilon]

Actually a lot of people are doing just that in fact. Another video coming about how you can and what to look out for :)

I’m sorry to be that guy, but it’s annoying that the picture points at 100 as if this leveling boost goes all the way up to 100, but it doesn’t.

This is so stupid, why they didn't just give everyone 20% for starter instead for a numerous player get extra 75-80% every level from 55-90. Test out the little thing first isn't that obvious?

They are trying to help people catch up with the meta...the divide is causing players to quit. I don't see anything wrong with this. It helps returning players. Its like parents whining because they went broke paying for college when their kids could have it for free. And NO I'm not being assisted. My level is too high. Silly 😂

[@GG89262]

Bro, you are missing the point. People are not mad about giving free boosts. What they are mad is that instead of giving to all new players they are choosing to give to 30%. It might not affect you, so you don't care, but if you were the 70% without the boost, then you would sing a different tune.
