I don't think you're alone here. I've seen other players talking about this problem in various bug threads so I think it's a known issue. It's probably worth sending an in-game bug report anyway though.
I'm guessing a lot here but I think the levelling pact system works something like this...
It seems that there's an "XP Server" that records the XP your duo earns. This sends messages to your client from time to time to tell it how much XP you've received. (The client doesn't update until it receives this message.) I suspect that the update messages don't work reliably. However, it looks like the client demands an update every time you zone and that this _does_ work OK. The practical upshot is that you tend to get your XP when you zone.
My brother and me are having the same issue. I have no idea when it started acting like that, but I'm fairly sure it isn't since Issue 13, so the patch from the 9th indeed looks like a good bet to me .

It was acting like that from day one. I was teaming with 3 pairs (I was in one of them) and we were all having similar experiences.
Archie's explaination pretty much sums up how I think it works. It does have the draw back of not being able to count on a level when you expect it.
Pact experience is worked out on a separate server and when that server is being blitzed the pact XP gets lost for a bit. I seem to remember this being a known issue but not sure where I read it.
i though it went into a say like a pot and then when it reached it limit it spreads it out.....there are time when i faced an a AV and i wish i had that lvl before exiting the mission.
It's a shame cos I always seem to level as I exit the mission and then can't really use the End/health fill and big insps that come with leveling. Still maybe it'll fixed.

I love going on a brief rampage with the level up buffs.

My Wife and I have been Level Packed since issue #13 came out. Since the patch of the 9th we've noticed it acts oddly, is anyone else getting the below?
We 99% seem to get XP added on at the end of a mission or when we Zone. Occationally it'll be added on during play, but always as a big block of XP.
So do a mission and get no XP added on during the mission, then we'll leave a mission and suddenly get 2-3 bars, ie the XP for the whole mission.
Or we'll hunt for a while and get no XP added on while hunting and as soon as we zone (or enter a mission) we get all the XP for what we've hunted added on.
I think we're probably getting the rght ammount of XP, it just seems like an odd way of giving it.
Anyone else getting this or is it a known issue?
