So for beating one wave of Casual, each team member will get 50 xp. For beating one wave of Normal it's 75, for Hardcore it's 100 and for Insane it's 125. This is of course configurable remotely so we'll be able to modify it if necessary and even have double XP Horde weekends.

You'll be able to get this experience whether playing publically or privately so you can gain experience with your friends.

We talked about a sliding scale with each ten waves but felt that the increase in complexity isn't worth it as people would just play wave 50 over and over again trying to farm experience.

Thanks,

Rod.

How about an increase of XP you get for every other 10 waves?

For example

(Normal Horde):

Waves 1-10 : 75 XP per Wave (750 XP for all 10)
Waves 11-20: 80 XP per Wave (800 XP for all 10)
Waves 21-30: 85 XP per Wave (850 XP for all 10)
Waves 31-40: 90 XP per Wave (900 XP for all 10)
Waves 41-50 95 Xp per Wave (950 Xp for all 10)

Might not seem that much but add it all up and you get 4250 XP for all 50 Waves on Normal rather than the planned 3750.

This wouldn't really promote XP farming since if each 10 waves is suposedly more difficult than the last so I don't see a problem with it.

You can't just grind off of Wave 50 because

1. Its harder than wave 10
2. Doing any of the other waves with in that set of 10 waves would earn you the same XP.
3. There wouldn't be much of a point in grinding off of the 41st wave either since the amount of XP you get from just one wave would be to little anyways.
