DE Spawn Chambers award same amount of XP regardless of level

[Hedgefund2]

I'm level 38 doing Ginger Yate's mission "Track down altered Tanya" at +2 and spot a Spawn Chamber, it's level 40.  I defeat it and get 52,829 XP.

 

I thought I'd do a wee bit of farming of these so I exit and reset to +4.

The Spawn Chamber is now level 42 (insert joke about ultimate answer here or 80s band) and it awards 52,829 XP

 

This became a thing that made me say "hmmm" so I reset to +3.  Spawn Chamber is now level 41 and awards 52,829 XP.

 

Then I set to -1, the Spawn Chamber is now level 37 and awards 52,829 XP.

 

I'm extraordinarily close to level 39 so I keep going so I can see the results when I'm up one more level.

 

After achieving level 39 I abandoned the mission so I could reselect it at the new level.

 

Results:

At -1 (level 38): 55,317 xp

At +4 (level 43): 55,317 xp

 

I didn't conduct any other tests because I'm extremely comfortable using linear interpolation to arrive at the expected XP rewards for the in-between levels (it's 55,317).

 

ETA: After consuming all of my patrol XP, these entities started awarding 47,415 XP.  At this point I thought to change to "bosses off" and these spawned as LTs, XP changed to 15,804, this was true for -1 and +4.

 

Just to clearly state my point here, this entity (Devouring Earth Spawn Chamber) awarded the same XP regardless of its relative level to me.  I have to figure that's a bug.

 

 

Basic facts:

I started level 38

I have 2xp from the START vendor enabled.

Another 2xp bonus is enabled from HomeComing at this moment.

I have rested XP available for all of these encounters.

Other settings were: bosses enabled, EBs not AVs

level 43 hp for Spawn Chamber: 2234

level 38 hp for Spawn Chamber: 1901

Even more scenarios, 

 

When I got to lvl 40, with the mission at -1, the chambers, which were now -2 to me, awarded 41,457 (from 47,415 when I was lvl 39).

Set to +0, lvl 39 chambers, I got 49,337.

Set to +4, lvl 43 chambers, again 49,377

 

So at -2 to me, the chambers started giving lower XP.  Above that, that I was able to test, the numbers stayed unchanged.

 

Just a reminder at this point patrol XP had been used up.
