About the New XP Table

Question

Isn't it obvious that numerous users are attracted to SoloLearn for challenges?
Now, as there's no xp for draws and losses in challenges, the STORM thing is gonna die.
Today, people are declining challenges if they lose or make draws.
Tomorrow, will they log into SL who only use SL for they love challenges?
I think they are huge in number who love only playing challenges
Isn't it destroying the challengers community?
Will the number of users still be the same?

Still, Hakuna Matata. Let's be productive and not be sad. 🐯

Answer 1

JOY
I think the concept behind this change is to encourage more people to play challenges, because it removes the fear of losing XP.

5XP is awarded for a win, this is confirmed.
But do you get the bonus points for correct answers also?

I would like to see the following system
Win: 5 points + bonus points
Draw: Bonus points only
Loss: No points

FYI for consideration

Answer 2

I really don't know what to say to all that .. 😶🙁

Answer 3

SL should really think about the challengers. Playing 100+ challenges in a day without getting a single xp for draw is really embarrassing...

Answer 4

Looks like they don't understand the community ... 😶

Answer 5

I'm not into storming since months. Just trying to accept all incoming and do some random challenges every day but I can definitely say it feels kind of boring if you don't receive any xp except for winning...not even for right answers. 😒

I think the same for new users who try to stay motivated..it's frustrating to have a draw with no reward. Before they got at least right answer xp even for a loss. Don't think this system will work out pretty well. 🤔

Answer 6

I VE WON 7 CHALLENGES AND HAVE 35 XP'S MORE.
BUT WE ALSO EARN 5 XP'S A DAY FOR BEING ONLINE !!!
SL could write us a msg why and what they wanna change.
Coz when we will just earn XP'S when having won a challenge, most profiles don't wanna challenge peeps which have a great knowledege. I think that a lot of profiles will just be interested to challenge profiles with worser knowledge as themselves.
But we are just able to learn from profiles with great knowledge.
That will become a disaster !!!

Answer 7

At first when I started SL
The first thing that really caught my attention after learning the basic courses was the challenges
Within a month I played over 4000 challenges sometimes I played over 600 challenges a day but with the recent development I can't remember when last I had a storm with anybody
I hope Sololearn will consider and add the gaining and losing of xp and bring it back

Answer 8

Thank you for the tag Rik Wittkopp ! And thank you for this post JOY

I’m going to be going through all of the comments, questions, and feedback (here and elsewhere) to make sure it gets back to the team. They have been going through this post already in fact 😄

Answer 9

You are definitely right JOY. Challenge community will be disintegration.

Answer 10

JOY

I have lists longer than my arms who loves the way SL gamified coding in general.

That gamification is in my opinion, the only reason I'm still on here.

Tell me, are they seriously taking all the time and effort legends like yourself put into this, to scrap and be worthless.

Answer 11

Also if my opinion is that One is just able to learn from profiles which have better knowledges as Oneself, I also think that earning XP'S for a right answered chall. question is a motivation for having better knowledge as before.
And I also believe that profiles which are new here on SL and without any knowledge as myself when I was new here, will be demotivated to challenge and I fear that a lot of them will not stay here at SL for longtime.

Answer 12

When i started challenges i lost the challenge but i got loads of xp's. That kept me going. Now I can win sometimes, and xp's are useless. So it doesn't make a great difference for me.
But i would have kept xp's for good answers with a draw.
And i would have kept the xp's for the old badges.

I think they have reshuffeled the xp system for the league system. And the league system willl be what is supposed to keep us going.

Answer 13

Hakuna matata, but copy this phrase and email the sololearn inc.

Answer 18

JOY

Do you have a link to the memo or should I go RTFM.

Apologies Sir JOY, I'm a mere peasant.

Answer 19

Just one word now sololearn had better to delete there challenges system from app because now it's not make any kind of seance

Answer 20

Yeah, these changes to the XP system are awful. I only ever used Sololearn to storm challenges. Both me and my regular opponents almost always get 5-5 draws. 95% of my challenges are draws. There is no point in this any more when they give 0XP. I guess I basically have no reason to play Sololearn any more. This is such a shame after 5+ years. Well done SL, you've killed you app for users like me.
