I’m not sure if this is a bug or what, but while playing with 2 friends, it was noticeable that one of the people in our crew was not getting XP. By the end of the game session, I had reached level 5; the 2nd individual joined halfway through and had surpassed the other in level. We were doing missions together and engaging targets together, so we were confused that they were not accruing xp. He floated at 2 bars shy of level 4, but despite completing missions and taking out targets, he wasn’t getting xp.
Again, not sure if this is a bug or not, but he ended up quitting out of frustration because he didn’t see the point in playing the game if there was no progression to be had. I’d like to play more with him, but we can’t figure out why his level won’t increase.
This is intended now as far as im aware, since New Dawn update earlier this year, now only the host gets XP from some missions. Its a 50/50 for sone reason and i gope they revert back to the old system where everyone got XP all the time.
Also there are some missions that don’t give XP
Like Civil Defence (in Salthamn)
and Ghost of the Past (which is short mission just before the final Mission on Himfjäll)
And all side missions in Fnix Rissing, don’t reward XP on completion (at least in the Log states that)
Though so far i can say that “Summer Vacation” don’t give XP on completion.
Is this still a thing? I’m playing with another player, and he - the host - has +60% XP with respect to me (I have 5k, he has 8k) and we are unable to understand why: sure, he got more kills than me, but I partecipated in all those kills, so +60% seems quite disproportionate (also: does the kill counts only to the player giving the final hit?).
If you are referring to whether or not Host still gets XP only from most missions, as far as i know it is still a thing, and will likely never chabge in the future seeings as its been 6 months since the change now.
