Hi all,

today i collect the duty mission rewards and i noticed less xp then before..

Examble: Dilithium Mining an unstable asteroid cluster

Should be result : 356 xp 42exp 185 Eng cxp 250 Dil ore

If its finished i get : 220 xp 588 exp 185 EngCxp 250Dil.

My question is if somebody recognize the nerf, too?

Or is it a bug ?

There was a silent patch?

    That isn't a nerf chap.

    They nerfed the skillpoints, but they massively buffed the Expertise.

    That means that at beyond lvl 60, you would gain way more spec points from doff missions.

    It just means that 50-60 is a bit slower. In the grand scheme of things, it looks like a buff to me.

    The problem is that i am lv 60 but still need 50 level to complete the Specialization points. 2 days ago i recieved the full amout of xp. This change must happend yesterday without any information.

    Two days ago was the tail end of a doff bonus weekend. Maybe you're just missing that...?

    I'm sure your DPS is great, but as Kahless said, "a petaQ with high system mastery is still a petaQ." (Well, he should have said it...!)

    this was the fist thing i checked. I play Doff missions since start of free to play. Some mission i know hoch much the reward is. The missions i collected on Thuesday where from Monday. The CXp Weekend was over and only CXP was higher on the weekend not the XP.

    I thought this issue was known and being looked at due to one of the Devs saying this is a bug....

    Has anyone reported this again or is this just random chit chat again!

    We have started investigating these issues, but it's turned into a larger task than originally anticipated. As soon as we have some solid information about what we're finding, and how we intend to fix it, we will let you all know about it. Unfortunately, we're currently early enough along in this process that I don't have anything concrete I can share at this time.

    Thank you, all, for sharing your information on this issue. It helped us track down the various factors involved more quickly.

    I verified a discrepancy between the offered rewards and the awarded rewards. Thanks for the reports.

    Yeah, I've been looking some more since it was first brought up. Before I start it, a mission SAYS it gives 400, but on completion it shows around 300, then when I collcet it I get something like 350... yeah, totally screwball.

    I've been looking more and it seems like part of the disparity is related to doff quality.

    Example:
    a mission says it'll give me 100xp

    but it was done by a purple for a 20% reward bonus

    despite what the screen says, when you collect it'll give you about 120xp

    I decided to collect numbers, in all cases the hypothesis held up.

    Listed reward/actual reward/doff quality (quality bonus)
    540/648/bb (20%)
    289/362/bbg (~25%)
    281/394/pbb (~40%)
    540/702/bp (30%)
    651/879/gbp (~35%)
    1081/1513/wwpp (~40%)
    1501/1576/gw (~5%)
    1168/1503/bp (~30%)
    252/340/bgp (~35%)
    396/495/bgb (25%)
    1218/1581/bbb (~30%)
    337/388/bg (~15%)
    324/340/g (~5%)
    337/371/b (~10%)
    244/268/b (~10%)
    241/325/pgb (~35%)
    67/87/bp (~30%)
    152/159/gw (~5%)
    84/92/gg (~10%)
    84/92/gg (~10%)

    20 missions and in each case the quality reward matched(though not always exactly) the disparity between the listed payout and the actual skill point payout.
