Inconsistent Experience

[Troo]

Seeing some inconsistent experience awards in Architect Entertainment missions. Any idea what's going on?

Minions and Lieutenants seem pretty consistent, but two different bosses dropped in exp right after defeating an identical pair.

Is there anything else, (another NPC, fall damage, pseudo-pet), that could've caused some damage?

[Troo]

Maybe my pseudo-pet? Burn, Ice Storm or Enflame? No NPC, fall damage, not using any pets or temps.

 

I ran the first couple groups on @Vayek's "Night at the Movies: Final Destination" #51733 on two different characters and got different results with the same +4/8 Bosses settings. Seems odd that one character is getting exactly 2/3 the exp.

Were they the same boss, or different types of bosses?  Experience levels vary per custom enemy depending on what powers that enemy is given, ie a boss with 4 powers and no ranged attack will be worth less experience than a boss with 12 powers and lots of ranged attacks, etc.  You might not know, if the bosses looked the same and had the same name, but were created with different powersets, unless you used the power analyzer or watched closely during combat to see what they were doing.

 

Otherwise, I can't think of a reason multiple copies of the same enemy would be worth different xp.

 I think I would like to appropriate the title of this thread as the biography of my adolescence and dating life that followed 🙂
