EXP Help! Not all exp shows??

    Hey great people,

    SO.. I got me a 6 month membership & a 50% boost item. (Which should give a 100% boost in total).

    The thing is, when I mouse over the XP bonuses, it only shows the membership bonus - 50%, whilst the boost is equipped on the character but it does not show (Nor does the double XP at this moment).

    I get about 300XP for 1 kill, so I suppose it's all working though?

    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    100% boost is 200 xp for a kill.
    You're getting 300 xp

    Assuming double exp is still ongoing atm, then no.
    100 exp per kill, 50% exp bonus from membership is 150exp, double exp should make it 300, no?

    Double check to see if your booster is equipped.

    You sure the boost is equiped?
    is it a ressource boost?
    you can also press tab to check your active bonusses on the right.

    You bumped your thread because you didn't get a reply in 21 minutes, despite it still being on the front page?

    AFAIK, the bonuses are additive rather than multiplicative (if that's a real word) so a 100 xp kill will be raised to 200xp which is +100% (+50 for membership and +50 for the boost).

    I wouldn't worry as long as you get ~200xp or thereabouts per kill no matter what it says on the character sheet.
    Double xp gives you the extra xp per kill but doesn't show anywhere as a modifier, so will probably be better to check once this is switched off (at midnight US time?). Also don't forget continent/world population imbalanace can skew your percentage gain too.

    I pressed TAB and I saw all bonuses.
    Seems I bought the wrong booster -_-

    Thanks for your reply man!

    Is it still on-going? Have no idea about American times.

    I had the wrong booster pack...
    Made 8xx certs over 2 days.. if only I had the right booster pack it would have been more :(

    if you made nearly a thousand certs in 2 days you are at the point where a ressource booster allows you to use your stuff alot more
  12. DutchMike

    Never thought about that..
    But I reckon I will first play as my TR infiltrator & SMG - and use the certs to put into the requisition timers so I can get access to it quicker, and THEN buy the resource booster pack. Seems best IMO.

    Thanks for reply, again! :)
