Echoes of Prophecy Currency with Battlepass

So I started Echoes before buying the battlepass during milestone 2. I later bought the premium unlock so I could complete milestone 1 and get premium rewards. I was receiving currency for all 3 milestones now but completed milestone 2 first due to my pre-battlepass progress. Now I only receive currency for milestone 1 and it is still split 3 ways (I only get 40).

I've got the Echoes of Prophecy battle pass from the zen store, which unlocks the premium tasks, by the time I got it I had not completed any of the 3 campaigns and upon turning in quests I would gain currency for the 3 of them; however as soon as I completed the 2nd campaign (Prophetic Retellings) I stopped gaining currency for the 3rd one (Of Dragons and Influence) and only get it for the first one (A tear in the weave); on top of that, the amount of currency I now get for the 1st campaign is exactly the same I was getting back when I would get it for the 3 campaigns.
In other words, as @ezariel and @xjunebride point out, if I complete a repeatable quest, I only get 8 progress for the first campaign, similarly, if I complete a weekly quest I only get 40 progress for it, and so on... all while I still haven't completed the third campaign.
Dear cryptic, will we get any compensation of some sorts for this bug?
Suggested and Expected allocation of point (proposal):
Total number of points needed to complete Echoes of Prophesy = 12000
During Phase I/Episode 1 - each major quest allocates 120 points to Episode 1 progress
During Phase 2/after Episode 2 introduction - each major quest allocates 60 points to Episode 1 progress and 60 points to Episode 2 progress
During Phase 3/after Episode 3 introduction - each major quest allocates 40 points to each of the episode progress trackers.
When one of the Episodes have been completed (4000 points has been allocated to it) the allocation to the remaining 2 episodes is 60 points for major quests.
When two of the Episodes have been completed (4000 points have been allocated to each of them), completion of a major quest allocates 120 points toward the remaining episode completion.
This provides a consistent allocation of 120 points for each major quest and only regulates where the points are allocated.
For Sybilla quest turn-ins:
0-4000 total points earned :- One Sybilla quest per day worth 120 points allocated according to the rules above.
4000-8000 total points earned - Two Sybilla quests per day, each worth 120 points may be turned in allocated according to the rules above
8000+ Points earned - limits on daily Sybilla quest turn-ins are removed to help the player complete EoP.
I would note that players who started and completed each phase before the next one was released would enjoy a faster completion time because per-quest allocation only changes once an episode has been completed (4000 points on one episode). But it should be easier to program than basing the trigger for changing the allocation per quest only on 4000 point increments in total points earned.
In Echoes of Prophecy, they allow you to buy the package after the milestone and then split the progress amount to each started milestone. I understand they probably did not want to be like Redeemed Citadel for giving players a way to minimize effort. However, their "new" approach is bad and unnecessary complicated. The simple way is just to contribute point to the lowest milestone until it is filled before contributing point to the next milestone. This is more "natural" and less programming effort.
The current approach:
1. it has bug and did the math wrong
2. It takes longer (even when it works right) for one to get the reward. Yes, they can get 3 'first' rewards at the same time but it takes longer for one obtain (say) the 4th reward of milestone 1.
> This is exactly what I am going through. I really hope they could give some compensation to those affected. Getting only 8 progress per quest is pure torture.
i have the same problem, and that is not right, we need to be rewarded
You know what, this is my first time i buy something on this game...if they dont fix it quickly and to give us a refound or some reward, this will be my last time i spend my money here...
I report my ticket below:
----
"when i got the Battle Pass Premium i had the first milestone incomplete and the second milestone completed, and the third
mileston never started.
Actually it never gave to me the currency of the third milestone.
It started to gave me only the currency of the first milestone.
Already its giving to me only 8 currency of the first milestone for repetable quests and 40 currency for the weekly quests.
I check it now, no splitted currency the third milestone is empty.
Please Help Me."
Yesterday I finished m2 and probably at this point stopped getting currency for m3, finishing quests just gave me 8 or 40 points for m1.
I didn't even know that currency splits between milestones, just thought this was a bug and sent a ticket (I play on Russian server btw). Got an answer that everything is working as intended and if I have more questions about such aspects of the game I should ask fan community because maybe this is some secret mechanic and support staff is not allowed to reveal it to players (what)
Anyway after receiving an answer I tried doing one more quest with m1 being completed and suprisingly got 24 points for m3. This happened after the patch but I suppose it has nothing to do with it, since Russian server gets maintenance a day later and having read answers here I see that the problem persisted.
So I guess the progress is bugged until you complete m1. My suggestion is - if you are very close to completing m1, just do it and you should be able to complete m3 with normal progression. Otherwise it's probably better to send tickets and hope for a fix.
Send tickets anyway because clearly this is not working as intended and should be fixed.
If this does not work correctly (it appears it does not), well.

What so I really have to farm 4000 points for week 1 at a rate of 8 and 40 per completion just to finally get back on track and finish off the last 1200 I need for my mythic mount?
If it works properly, I complete 4000 in one day casually using 4.5 toons.
Guys dont spend your money, play only free, it seems better.
> I'm so disappointed, no more money to spend here from my pockets. 8 and 40 currency...it's like a torture... ARC listen you will never get my money again.
> Guys dont spend your money, play only free, it seems better.
Yeah I’m real sad to because during the 35% off for Black Friday I was about to buy out and buy the Premium but I didn’t and I already ate the bullet buying the premium 2 days after the sale ended when the mount was showed. This is sad if they can’t do anything to help us. Honestly I have like 6 more characters so if they could just fix this then it could really be a plus letting me farm for months one again
You have 6 characters. You can use 4.5 characters to do weekly quests and event quests (120 each when that works, 40 each in your situation). No, I didn't do those 24 (or 8) quest at all (except for triggering the weekly quest).
When it worked properly (giving 120), I got 4000 in one day playing 'casually'.
> This event is account wide. You just need to fill 4000 per milestone once per account.

Yeah I use to do that as well but I did 2 characters and only got like 400 and I’m down to only like 4 more characters and 2 of them are empty slots that I would have to level.
I've got 40-40-40 after I bought the premium pass.
After I finished T2 I only get 40 from T1 and nothing from T3.
So I can't finish the T3.
I can try buying the completion from zen but idk if it works.

1) The event appears to be programmed assuming you will complete Episode 1 before 2 or 3
and 2) Contrary to the post from @pitshade in another thread on the Trigger error message, I am *not* able to collect more than once a day once I have progressed in EoP past Episode 1 completion.
if milestone 1 not full, give milestone1 quest point divided by 3 and give milestone 2 quest point divided by 3 and give milestone 3 quest point divided by 3.
However, when milestone 2 is full (but not milestone 1), it cannot give milestone 2 quest point divided by 3. It got an error. Because of the "error", it stops (as it does not give any point to milestone 3).
If my hunch is relevant and if anyone actually wants to try the theory, fill up milestone 1 (slowly). Then, I think the program will give full point to milestone 3 after that.
