I hate to mention specific numbers because there may be more going on and I haven't given this the full scientific method yet. So, I'll still leave it at the hypothesis phase now, that there's something screwy for mission bonuses, a discrepancy between mission owners and everyone else on team.
This makes some sense with some weird stuff I have seen. For example, I was running some tips last night at +2 / x6. The mish owner at 50 was getting 344 prestige. My lvl 39 character (Skd to 49) got over 500 prestige.

Since you are using the plural, and I'm one of two people who responded to you, I assume you're talking about me. I'm not trying to troll you, and I'm sorry if it came out that way. I just stated in my post what the intended behavior of the level pact system is, and I specifically mentioned a bug as one possible explanation. There were no personal attacks or anything in my post, so I think it's a really big leap for you to be calling me a troll.

Wow I read the same quote when he wrote it and I didn't even realize that it was a troll reference. LOL /facepalm.

Anyhoo I've done a test with Patrol XP involved, same thing, only the XP mish bonus was hootched. I also waited long enough to get enough patrol XP to cover a whole mish so the time logged off did not correct the XP difference either (ie. there wasn't any Lag with xp being given that I could see).

Did another test, this time with Patrol XP involved, same result, Mish XP bonus is hootched. Mission type is the "Get the xxx from the xxx", killed all foes first and left Clicky item till end.

Mission Start XP (Left number is toon in pact, Right number is third toon without pact, owner of mish is pact toon)

113848 - 125044

XP Prior to doing clicky to get XP Bonus

155853 - 167049

XP Gained (Start XP - XP gained prior to Clicky to get Mish Bonus)

42005 - 42005

Current XP before Clicky for Mish Bonus (from last collum)

155853 - 167049

XP after Clicky and Mish Bonus

159768 - 172054

XP gained

3915 - 5005

Difference : 1090

So again, Toons that are in the XP pact are getting less XP Mish Bonus.

Well then it looks like supersidekicking screwed it up you should report it.

Try it with the mission owner being the non X-pacted Toon.

I have reported it, using the /bug command, I'm tempted to drop Castle a line, perhaps I will after I do the non-pacted toon as the mission owner test.

Ok, so I did a test with the non-pacted toon as the mission owner/leader. in this case, all numbers are the same and everyone got the same xp, both during the mission itself and the mission bonus XP was the same.

So it appears that the XP difference happens when the pacted toons are the leaders/owners.

Stats:

Start XP (Left is Pacted, Right is non-Pacted)

52081 54581

Before Mish bonus

65140 67640

Difference (XP gained)

13059 13059

XP After Bonus
68315 70815

Difference (XP gained)

3175 3175

So it's only an issue when the toon I WANT to be the leader is, LOL, I've sent many responces to the GM's via support and gotten their reply's so hopefully this gets addressed, priorities being what they are.
