Patrol XP not accumulating at correct rate?
From my personal experiences, Patrol XP accumulates at a slower pace than Day Job Credit.
From ParagonWiki:
For every 24 hours a character spends logged out, they accumulate 1 bar of Patrol XP, with a maximum of 10 bars. If a character has a number of Patrol XP bars that exceeds the number they need to level up, this extra experience carries over to their next Security/Threat Level.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
I suppose I should clarify: I'm comparing the progress bar for the Patroller badge to the progress bar for the Day Trader badge. Despite being new characters that have only been logged out in WW for the entire (short) duration of their existences, the two bars are not progressing at the same rate, despite both being scaled at 504 hours.
The Day Trader badge needs 21 days.
The Patroller Badge needs 30 days.
The Day Trader badge needs 21 days.
The Patroller Badge needs 30 days. |
So it is a bug, just not the one I thought. Thanks.
So I've started three new characters this week (altitis, what can I say?) and as is my practice I logged them out in WW to get the Day Trader badge first. Then I noticed something wonky: My Patrol XP is not accumulating at the same rate as the WW Day Job badge. Capping is not an issue, none of the characters have sat idle for anything like 10 days. Heck, they're not even 10 days old yet. Specifically, one character I created just yesterday and logged out overnight has 11 hours of WW time and 7 hours of Patrol XP time; the 11 hours downtime is the correct figure.
I /bugged it but I wanted to throw this out to the fora. Is there some differential earning rate I'm not aware of? Are the counters buggy? Anybody else seen this behavior?
