Boss vs Elite Boss

I was messing with the new AE stuff last night and was wondering if it is normal for an elite boss (tl 16) to have the same xp as a (tl 16) boss. Not that I mind, 318 xp was nice for my part, but wouldn't the elite give more than the regular boss? Both were custom builds, and I used the scaling system for them to get 100% xp (which makes it alot easier I think), but they both give the same xp. Just a bit unsure if I need to make the elite bosses if they are going to give same. Should i just make them out as AVs instead? Any help with this would be great, thanks.

Yes, Elite Bosses and Bosses are worth the same xp everywhere.

Funny how you don't pay attention to that stuff outside the ME maps. I like using the elites for the final boss of the maps leading to the last one, so I guess I'll just keep using them. Thanks for clearing that up.

I gave you a correct answer. Don't be snotty.

I think you wildly misread that.

The author was using 'you' in the 'generic person' meaning. Not as a slight to you personally.

E.g., "You know, how on the Internet it's difficult to read a person's 'tone of voice? How does one avoid that?"

Also, for what it's worth, while the "base" XP for an Elite Boss is the same as a Boss, outside AE a large number of the "native" Dev-Created EBs actually have an XP Multiplier (by "native" I mean they are always EBs, not just downgraded AVs), which causes them to give out more XP than the typical boss. But XP Multipiers > 1 are automatically reset to 1 in all AE missions, and you can't assign your own, so any custom EB will automatically be as much XP as a Boss.

You would be correct in fact. Thanks for the info all, as I stated, I'd like to keep using the elite bosses, but i dont think I'll scale them to 100% because they seem so much harder. With getting the same amount of xp as a boss, I'd rather have them a tad bit easier than regular EBs.
