BlackSpectre Posted August 22 Posted August 22 (edited) So I've been slowly doing research on gaining experience, trying to figure out the formula, and I ran across something weird that I can't explain... At level 2 while SOLO against level 2 enemies I got these results: You have defeated Blood Brother Slammer You gain 10 experience and 7 influence. You have defeated Blood Brother Brawler You gain 10 experience and 7 influence. Then I dual boxed and added one of my alts to my team. The alt was level 2 also, and also was against level 2 enemies. The alt did not attack or do damage, and did nothing but follow me. I got these results: You have defeated Blood Brother Brawler You gain 7 experience and 5 influence. You have defeated Blood Brother Slammer You gain 7 experience and 5 influence. You have defeated Fallen Buckshot You gain 21 experience and 25 influence Notice that the XP gained from the minions is lower than when solo, and this toon was the team leader. Now let's look at the ALT's results for the same battle: Pat1 has defeated Blood Brother Brawler You gain 10 experience and 5 influence. Pat1 has defeated Blood Brother Slammer You gain 10 experience and 5 influence. Pat1 has defeated Fallen Buckshot You gain 31 experience and 25 influence. The ALT gained MORE experience while on the team than the leader... and did nothing in the battle. Does this strike anyone else as weird? It looks like there's a 32% XP penalty for being a team leader! UPDATE: I ran the test 3 more times and the 2 toons got the same XP on a team of 2. Very odd. I thought it might have been that the leader toon was in SG Mode, since that was the only difference, but it didn't pan out. I guess I'll just chalk it up to a glitch then.

Snarky Posted August 22 Posted August 22 Did one of the the toons have an exp booster from start/p2w?
Hedgefund Posted August 22 Posted August 22 (edited) Looks like patrol xp (50%) on the alt which eventually got used up and then the xp became equal. So not a glitch. Edited August 22 by Hedgefund 3 1
Game Master GM Crumpet Posted August 22 Game Master Posted August 22 Yep, definitely sounds like patrol XP 2

BlackSpectre Posted August 22 Author Posted August 22 Genius! Great call guys! I was just about to update my post with "Actually, the team leader didn't get a penalty, but the alt got a boost!... somehow." Thanks guys. 🙂 4 Black Spectre - A Dark Defender's Home on the Web • The Advanced Bind Guide • The Masters of BAF: A Guide for Leaders and Players • The Wiki List of Slash Commands
