[COSTS] Hanszeehock Alpha Tester 3,692 posts 5,959 battles Report post #1 Posted May 30, 2016 I was expecting to read all the rage threads about the reduction of XP for the first win to a multiplier of times one (100%) or am I totally wrong ? So here is an example of the current Multiplier (using 600 base as an example): Base XP = 600 x100% = 600 Total = 1200 Previous standard Multiplier: Base XP = 600 x 1.5 = 900 Total = 1500 So fine, change the multiplier to % but we should have 150% as the standard ? Or am I bonkers ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[TTTX] Mayv Players 1,952 posts 7,021 battles Report post #2 Posted May 30, 2016 I guess they mean 100% or 50% extra experience for the first win. Isnt there a + in front of the number, +50%? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[PKTZS] JapLance Weekend Tester 2,567 posts 18,265 battles Report post #3 Posted May 30, 2016 +100% is for the weekend. Usual is +50%. They've just changed the display, but it's exactly the same as before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScratxNeko Players 453 posts Report post #4 Posted May 30, 2016 It says +50% or +100% , etc, in the end of game XP/Credits screen, and likewise in the carousel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or am I bonkers ? Because you asked: You are bonkers. 1.5x multiplier would result in a total of 900. You don't add the multiplier to the base. You never did. It's the final result. The 100 % is equal to the 2.0x multiplier we had previously on weekends. During the week you'll see it marked as 50 %. Edit: autocorrect made it multiplayer when it should have been multiplier. Kinda funny but the error corrected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Egoleter ∞ Players 4,046 posts Report post #7 Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) It is exactly how it works and worked. Looking at your screenshot you earned your base XP of 1496. Then you earned the bonus for ESCL, your flag, and first victory of the day on a weekend. They total 155 % of your base XP or 2319. 100 % (1496) + 50 % (748) + 5 % (75). The 155 % added to your 100 % base XP equals 255 % or 3815 XP. Previously you earned 1496 base XP multiplied by 2.55 (x2.0 for first victory of the day + x0.5 for the ESCL + x0.05 for the special flag = x2.55) for the same 3815 XP in total.

You are over complicating this Ignore signal and flag. I earnt 1496 base + 1496 for first victory of the day. You then add the other modifiers for the total. So this proves the examples in my OP are correct. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[COSTS] Hanszeehock Alpha Tester 3,692 posts 5,959 battles Report post #10 Posted May 30, 2016 ^ what he said. It was even in the patch notes with a worked example But Noodle, a multiplier of 100% is not 1.5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[ST-EU] Admiral_noodle Supertest Coordinator 6,337 posts 4,395 battles Report post #11 Posted May 30, 2016 But Noodle, a multiplier of 100% is not 1.5. No. It's x2. You had 1496 and got 1496 for your x2. Which is the same as +100%. Because 1496+1496 = 2x1496! Then the rest is calculated on base XP not the uplifted value. Just like before. Its a x2 weekend 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[COSTS] Hanszeehock Alpha Tester 3,692 posts 5,959 battles Report post #15 Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) Ok forget it, I discussed it with Chamorro. What I was missing here was the 1.5 was a multiplier, but the 100% an addition. Of course what confused me was I was incorrectly using 100% as a multiplier and I used the same sum as an addition. Which confusingly gives you the same answer !!!! Doh Edited May 30, 2016 by Hanszeehock 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[ST-EU] Admiral_noodle Supertest Coordinator 6,337 posts 4,395 battles Report post #18 Posted May 30, 2016 Which is why it says +100% and not x100%... Which would be much worse Not sure why it needed changing in the interface from x2 / x1.5 to +100%/+50% though. I suppose its more consistent with the results screen now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
