is t me or has the exp been tweaked down, doing premium time and its just like without it... anyone else seem like exp is low?

[TheCaptainJZ]

Well it was doubled over the weekend for double xp. Otherwise I don't think so.

[Thoummim]

Xp was doubled last week end.

Now its back to normal.

[TercieI]

Nope. Sure you're not having double XP weekend hangover?

[Appogee]

It's funny you ask, because I noticed during the 2XP weekend that my base XP seemed lower than usual. I wondered whether a stealth base XP nerf had been slipped in under the cover of the 2XP weekend.

However, I don't know the mechanics of how it's calculated, therefore, I have no mathematical basis on which to determine it one way or another. It could just be Pgianoia which set in after the stealth CBill nerf.

It seemed normal to me. Probably 2X XP weekend hangover.

i knew the 2x weekend was there but from before that I would score as i do and i would get 1k+ exp win or lose... now wins i am getting 1k or less with 4-500 damage and bunch of assist and sprinkled in a few kills here and there

I honestly couldn't care less if they did put it in. The C-Bill gain rate is so atrocious right now that I easily get all the basic efficiencies for a 'mech before I earn the funds for another.

Even for a mech like a Jenner you can't possible have the funds for another before you're way past the basics. It's a poorly disguised drive to get you to spend MC on mechs, which wouldn't be so bad if they weren't so ridiculously expensive in terms of real-money.

The main driver in varying XP is Savior and Defensive Kills. At 150/per they can easily be the difference between 1000 XP and 2000 XP. I love it when an enemy drops and I see three Savior Kills pop up because there were three friendlies "in danger."

Any chance your premium time ran out?

Otherwise, if you're averaging 1K XP, in a loss, tell me what you're doing on the coms later.

[Teela Zain Elmes]

LoL maybe you played too often during the last XP weekend! But no I don't think it was nerfed.

[Flak Kannon]

Double XP weekend was wasted. How nice it would have been for them to do it this weekend so we can level up our new mechs.


I understand they want us to transfer XP to GXP via MC... another money grab, but oh well.

My current rotation is. New mech, level it up till basics are unlocked and I have enough XP for elite. Then switch to a +cbil mech to grind out the money I need for my next mech. Rinse and repeat.

The problem is those people with only one 'Mech. I accumulated over 65k XP just grinding C-bills for my next 'mech with my BJ (though that might just be because it took me forever to figure out a build I liked).

The trial mechs are mostly competent builds right now though, so using those occasionally should give folks some variety.

But yes, Untill you get at least 2 different personal mechs, it can be rough.
