No influence while farming

[Libertyguard]

Getting almost zero influence...occasionally one pops up. Im level 50 and have xp turned on. All i ever see is incarnate xp.

 

Any ideas?

[Cancrusher]

No, that's very strange.  Do you have your notoriety turned down really low (level -1, or something)?  That's the only thing I can think of.  Either that, or you still have a double xp or quarter xp booster from the P2W going.  

 

Apart from that, I got nothing.  Sorry.  🤷‍♂️

Can't have an xp boost active at level 50. 

[Bionic_Flea]

Can you still turn on "SG Mode" even though prestige isn't a thing anymore?  Maybe it got clicked on accidentally?

 

EDIT: I went in and killed a critter in non-SG mode, then switched to SG mode and killed another critter.  Both got XP, so my theory is shot.

yea im on a farm right now....hes killed hundreds of mobs...and all i get is incarnate xp. I should have over 20 mil inf by now and i barely got 3 mil

[SuperPlyx]

Just checked on my farmer, it is working fine for me. If you are getting incarnate xp I am willing to bet you still have an active XP booster on. Look in your temp powers and find it and delete it

Is your character at the influence cap?  That would keep you from earning more.

You can have it active.  It just won't earn you the double xp.  Maybe it still restricts your influence though?  I'm merely speculating here.

[PsiBug]

Are you farming things that offer no XP /inf, such as the such as unlimited CoT portal-spawned demon minions,  or the unlimited portal-spawned rikti in the "recover the container/ Hero1 mission in RWZ, or something so low that it cons grey?

What are you farming?

Simply saying you're 50 doesn't give us enough information. Throughout CoH's live run, they tweaked and altered things to avoid inf/xp farms. Sometimes this included reducing rewards to 0 (like the demons spawning from certain CoT portal rooms). Sometimes, when those things spawned, for some reason a variant of the spawn was overlooked in the purge so they did still give xp. Then, when incarnate systems came around, they applied incarnate xp to ALL and didn't go through to find the xp/inf things that were devalued.

Or is this simply that you aren't getting any influence, but XP (incarnate and otherwise) is fine?

If that's the case, you've probably hit the Influence cap per character. Last I heard it was 2 billion (on live), this may have been changed post live. I can't say, since I haven't bothered getting there again.

When you started up the farm did you pick the standard rewards or the AE specific option (tickets)? It's been ages since I did that, so I don't remember if that actually hits the INF as well as the recipe/etc rewards... But it's a thought. 

[Sakai]

Still 2 billion. 

[Ura Hero]

If it says you are earning Incarnate XP, then you don't have them all unlocked. 

 

2 billion is the influence cap.  You cannot have more than that on a single character.  Send some in an email to another character.

sorry for long delay ive been experimenting. Ive logged on another level 50, i get incarnate xp...and tons of influence. Yet on that one character i get zero influence. Once in a great while i get it for one mob or another but usually nothing. I also have zero influence on him.

 

i have earn xp turned on...no double xp booster(it turns off at 50 anyway but i figured id state it)

I'd suggest screencapping your rewards log and open a support ticket...

No, it does not. It will not influence Vet or Incarnate XP but will cut your Influence. This is why 3 people in this thread said to check it. Good Luck

That has not been my experience.

The times I have leveled to 50 I've seen it switch immediately to XP & influence from 2xp.  The 2xp power is still in my powers list, but doesn't have any bearing.

They actually moved the XP from the spawned demons to the portals themselves -- originally the portals didn't give much XP, but after the change, any character with a fast-recharging hold could farm those maps for a ton of XP. You hold the portal and it stops spawning demons, allowing you to destroy it at your leisure. Destroy all the portals, exit and reset, repeat.
