EXP nerf for BG?

Jarlomandius · 04-23-2010, 08:39 PM

Just noticed today that I don't seem to be getting the 2-3% aa xp per BG.

Anyone else notice that or I am somehow bugged?

I have seen a randomness to the xp gain in bg. Sometimes you get xp. Sometimes you dont. I heard from a friend that they actualy lost xp in a bg. They petitioned and the response was that everything seems to be working fine. She was at .7% debt and came out 2.8% debt. Not sure xp is a major concern with all the out of balance in the game atm. More focus is on these issues. I am sure they will fix the xp situation in due time. Be patient. Hope this helps

this is a bug. i went for weeks without any xp problems and then after this last patch i see this problem again. my guess is that there is a race condition or resource lock problem that keeps the xp from being saved. in any case, i saw at the high 80s 2% xp per (or about 4% aa with slider at 100). this i think is about right for the time spent doing the instance. we also sometimes drop tokens but not as often. i sometimes don't see xp for the daily BG quests. in any case without the quest content to quest 80-90, BGs fill in the gap even with the buggy xp. i have a i7 huge system with fiber connection, the game looks nice and runs fast so i doubt it's system related. i have noticed that i am almost always lead or second after the lead (all instances), i would assume this is the case due to i zone very fast. it maybe that fast systems zone out before they get the xp posted to their character. being a programmer myself, i have seen this type of hole before, it's hard to fix, because once you start locking resouces the system grinds to a halt, until you place the locks in spots that dont create bottlenecks.

Didn't I read they was taking XP out of BG?

havnt seen that, but removing xp would be fine if they added quests that gave xp. there is no coins/loot to be had doing them except the tokens. if the tokens can be handed in for xp, items, or armor that would be fine also, it may make it so they dont have to pass back as much informatin at the end of the instance. who knows.

Check your xp to AA slider. I have reported a bug where after some matches its been reset to 0. Even at 90 0 means you dont get any xp at all and you have effectively turned off xp.

It's been happening a few weeks now and I have lost out loads because of it.
