Two toons in an incarnate trial. One gets 2 million xp more than the other.

Trying to narrow down what causes this - behaviour definitely new since December page 3 patch. Levelling two characters together now they get very out of sync xp wise on a scale I've never witnessed before.

 

Two scenarios that definitely trigger it:

Two toons in a party on same quest chain. If a quest auto advances to the next stage - one of the players will get 0 xp for the previous stage - yet both quests advance as expected. 

 

Worst scenario yet - two characters both 50 in a group do a two incarnate trials. Both same incarnate level.  One gets 2 million more xp than the other by the end of the trials!

Just to be sure, Patrol XP ?

Were they on the same team in the league?  Rewards are not league-wide, you only get credit for what your team does.

also debt could be a reason.. yes i know debt dont mean much these days.. but in this cause its still valid.

[onyxus]

No debt. same league. Appreciate team differences could be in play. But we were in the same team for one of the trials. second we weren't (dd) but all together for that one anyway. Percentages on the incarnate slots still identical (before and after)- so that xp still works as expected.

 

It's somethng changed with latest patch. Previous to this patch - two toons on +2 on same quest, quest ending bonus given would be higher for the non active quest person. (we used to work around that by rotating active quest). Now those values are both the same but this new weird difference exists - so something got fixed and something got broken 😄

Being on different teams in the same league can cause a huge difference if the teams arent doing about the same damage as each other.  A few thousand xp difference from each mob can add up over the course of a trial.

[onyxus]

I appreciate people trying to help - but I can see it clearly in the log - or rather see xp missing in the log. We sit next to each other and play coh together - so comparing logs is easy for us.

 

The toons are getting identical xp for quest completions. Identical for mob kills. But when a quest auto advances for two people in the party (ie the bit where you exit a door mission and the quest auto advances to next stage). The xp at this point is only getting awarded to the person who *doesn't* have the active quest. Active quest owner gets 0 awarded other person gets all of it.

 

(If anyone else is suffering the same issue - the workaround we are using: every time a quest auto advances - toggle the active quest to the person with the most xp  - then the other one in the party will catch up xp wise next time it happens. That way the toons stay roughly in sync xp wise.

But how would that connect to the iTrials discrepancy?

[onyxus]

I have no clue. We did some ouroboros flashback missions today - person running the mission consistently getting more xp than the other. We swap leader and then that person gets more xp - and its not small differences either. (checking totals after each mission). Something really weird going with xp. (and yes no debt, no boosters, blah blah).
