Ok, Sandy and myself started up a new MA/S Duo with the leveling pact, when we was pacted we was only getting 3 xp from whites and it never said we was getting xp from the pact like on Test, un pact and was getting 7 and leveled alot quicker than before.

Something wrong with it atm?

thought you only get half the xp when in a pact ?

Can you test this by monitoring your actual experience gain, please? It may simply be that the message is missing but the exp is still awarded.

You are correct GhostRaptor, seems like the xp bar keeps shooting up when not defeating anything by no notice of any xp being awarded

It doesnt work just like that. The idea is that any XP you gain is split in two, 1 part for you and 1 part for your pact mate. Say, you get n amount of xp and your friend isn't online. You're only getting n/2 xp.

Now, if your friend is online and playing with you... You're getting n/2 + n/2 xp. Totalling up to n which is the amount of xp you'd get solo.

Hope that was clear

I have noticed another problem tho, it seems like the xp is lagging as well, was killing mobs on different sides of Galaxy and none of the xp Sandy was getting was coming to me for about 3 or 4 mins.

and when you level up and your pact 'buddy' isn't online

it says "you gain this ammount of XP but you cant gain any till your pact catches up"

but as soon as you change zones/go out of mission you just get about 9 bars of XP that has stockpiled

Isn't it something to do with the statserv updating? so you get the xp it just takes time for the server to update before you get it.

The above is only my opinion, please don't hate me for it

Assumable there are quite alot of pacts created since launch, so maybe the statserver has some extra work to do to keep all pacts equal.

I have created 2 pacts, 1 with 2 lvls 1's and another between a lvl1 and a lvl5. both seem to work normaly, slight delay in exp reward.

The only minor problem is the rested experience, since my lvl5 wasnt getting any exp (it went to the lvl1), my 'patrol exp' did lower. But i gues this is by design.

(great thing about pacts + patrol, when the other is offline, you still gain 100% exp, heaven for any altoholic.)

I have noticed that if you and your pact partner are in different zones or instances you need to zone to recieve your share of the xp.
