So after being able to play a bit through both Clan Public tests and a little bit today. How are the Omnipod set bonus working?

There seems to be no rhyme nor reason to how this is working. Same `Mech and two wins I get the bonus for one but not the other. See screens

Another issue with this brought up by Wieland about the bonus being applied to the base XP gained and not the total XP earned.

I've been wondering about this too. I get an XP bonus on some matches, sometimes not. It doesn't go by wins because I've won some and not received bonus XP. I haven't tried to mix omnipods either so I could get the bonus while working on unlocking pilot skills.

On The first screenshot you posted, I noticed that you have many more XP bonuses and that the scroll bar could be scrolled down to see the bottom of the list. Can you check if it was simply below your Premium Bonus? if it is not, let us know.

That's actually a bug with the UI, I can scroll down two lines of nothing before the bar goes away.

The subtotal and premium bonus on the first screenshot add up to what's displayed on the total which means there was no omnipod bonus.

On the games I played today I noticed that I did not receive the opb for matches with 1st victory of the day, but 2 matches I played after, on one mech received the opb.

I just played a game which was first victory and got the OPB along with first victory, so not sure wtf is going on. Screen shot attached.

I have another Suggestion for the Omni Pod Quirks. In the Mechlab it is not visible if a set Bonus is given and what ist effect is. This should be modified in the Mechlab

Not really the thread for that suggestion, we first need to get the bonus to work consistently.

[Wieland]

During the playtests it seemed to be the Prime variants that didnt get the bonus.
But according to those pics its more than only that.

2.5% is laughable anyway and no incentive to not change omnnipods.
Its also from the base xp and not modified by premium time or first victory.
Lets say you have a match with 1000 base xp, then it only adds 25 xp.

Can't see a pattern.

[xDAMAGEx]

It's random, can't recreate it doesn't matter which mech and winning or losing or getting kills doesn't seem to make a difference out of five game i'll get the bonus maybe twice on avg

Yes, this needs to be fixed also. As it should be on top of everything, you are right in saying that it really yields no bonus at all.

Although tonight I was seeing the bonus each and every time with my Stromcrow - Prime, so I am not sure if they are slowly working on this or not Deztroyer inside on this please? Or should we all be submitting bug reports?

[Deimir]

I haven't swapped a single OmniPod yet, and I don't recall ever having seen a modifier for the bonus on my Player Stats at the end of the game. Since it never showed up I assumed it was working, but hidden until I saw this thread. I just stopped for the night, but in the morning I will take screens of my first ten matches to see if it shows up at all.

Or maybe switch it to a GXP bonus. As far as my matches today, only played each mech once and they all got the bonus with the 1st victory of the day.

[Deimir]

Out of 10 matches today, only once did the OmniPod XP bonus appear. Linked below is an album with those ten matches. I'll continue to grab screens of all my games and add them to this album when I get the chance.

Just to be clear, I have not yet swapped any OmniPods on ANY of my 'mechs, not even the ones that are unilaterally superior to the ones in the stock sets, because I want to see what sort of builds I can come up with before adding in that sort of min/maxing.

Everyone that has noticed this issue should submit a ticket, I am after I make this post.

[Deimir]

Got my ticket submitted, and uploaded another set of rounds to the album. Hoping it gets fixed soon, at this rate I'm going to start Mastering my Warhawks before it gets the chance to do anything.

[Dark DeLaurel]

I submitted a ticket last night also, hopefully we will hear something about this on Monday.

[Facetious]

I also had this issue yesterday while playing. Thought I was only getting it for wins, but I had a win and didn't see it. Then had a lost and saw it. Also it seems to be little piddly amounts of exp, so maybe I just wasn't seeing it for matches where I got less than a certain amount of exp. As it stands, I don't see any reason at all to stand with the stock omnipods, if the bonus is arbitrary and tiny.

[ollo]

The way i see it, the bonus should (apart from bugs to be fixed) be applied every time you fight in an omnipod-unchanged mech.

If you have at least one omnipod changed to another variant, you can laugh you your ass off at the negligible 'bonus' you are missing and compensate it with the increase in kills/damage/whatever (and accordingly increased XP) you got because you built a custom variant that suited your needs.
