Odd level-pact behavior

Situation: Two level-pacted characters, one doing a Katie TF and the other logged off. They hadn't been played for a long time (a week or so) so they had full Patrol XP bars.

We end up fighting Mary with several people at level 32 or 33, and only 6 people on the team. There is considerable death as a result.

I would have debt, go to the hospital, zone back and ... have patrol XP.

Was I taking my wife's patrol XP?

So you think you're a hero, huh.

No. There's been a few reports of people (pacted or not) getting Patrol XP added to their bar when zoning. When it happens, it seems to be repeatable (until you hit the PXP cap), but actually getting it to happen in the first place seems difficult to reproduce.

Please file a /bug report if you haven't already. It's rare enough that I doubt they've figured out what's causing it.

Sometimes the server seems to think you are offline while you are zoning. You can gain patrol XP and dayjob badge credit when this happens. For me, every time it's happened.. I was also detoggled, so I'm wondering if the cause is connected in any way... but like Lev said.. we can't seem to reproduce it with any certainty.

Is it worth /bugging it 14 hours later?

[/ QUOTE ] I don't know how they do their datamining to research such things, but I suppose if you do decide to send in a report, it'd be a good idea to give them an exact time and location for them to look for.

If you can't remember what time it was or what you were specifically doing, I would probably just wait til it happens again.

Yes. they have to both be logged in at the same time to start a pact.

Pretty sure they do. In order to form the pact, both have to be logged in initially at the same time. You cannot do that with two characters on the same account.


We don' need no stinkin' signatures!
