[Delta Recruit] Big Problem : Mission Experience Reward divided by 2 after lvl50

edited April 2015 in Star Trek Online General Discussion
I have created a Delta Recruit. I have always enjoyed the leveling from 1 to 50 as I find the story arc good (maybe except the Cardassian one prio to the Dominion story)

Each time you complete an episode the reward experience is around 10k skill point & expertise

The problem is that my delta recruit hit level 50 last night and I just started the Cardassian arc.
What was my surprise to notice that the exp reward is simply divided by 2 after you hit level 50

now I can get 5k max

I'm saying for 1st attempt, not replay.

Why in the hell cryptic are you TRIBBLE everyone like this.
I've never seen any games where the experience you earn changes depending on your level and get divided by 2 !!!

    That's actually a problem with the Cardassian arc. It gives out lower exp rewards regardless of what level you are when you do them. I hope it gets adjusted when they revamp it.

    Kurland here. We're sending you on twice the missions for half the reward. Good luck.

    Eh. They're better than the Romulan arc was at launch. Heal-spamming ground enemies back when ground combat took forever, a story that dragged out through endless distractions, and the single worst mission I have ever played (Divide Et Impera), together made the Romulan arc at launch a miserable slog.

    The Cardassian stuff is the best proof of how much better the game's gotten since then. It used to be pretty average; now it's the worst content in the game.

    Yup. That said, we all know it's going to be revamped next so there's some consolation there. Enjoy that this is probably the last time you'll have to play those missions.

    It is rather "funny" that they're some of the longest missions, yet also the worst in terms of rewards.

    This is something that I mentioned back when they first came out with Delta Rising. When I saw how ridiculous the grind was going to be, and that Delta Rising was all about DPS, I started a new character that I was going to make my first main.

    I was leveling up, and kept looking at all of the xp for the missions. I also skipped a lot of the missions so that I could see what the xp rewards were for the level 48-49 missions. As soon as I hit level 50 every mission was cut by half, even ones I already had queued up to run.

    They really messed up the leveling process from 50-60 because they made it part of a system (CapSpec) that was suppose to be long-term. Just like they did other short-term goal that are locked behind it. Not a very smart move there. lol.

    If you make a new character & skip ahead to the Cardassian Arc asap, you still get 1/2 the rewards of other Arcs, sad but true. This has nothing to do w/50 or DR. The revamp will most likely trim Episodes & increase XP rewards for new Episodes.

    Perhaps my client is bugged as most of my rewards going up so far have only been about 3k skill/expertise. No wonder it is taking me so long. Even the best reward so far on the Delta recruit has been the Uneasy Allies episode at about 8k.

    The Cardassian missions are flat-out hideous. Just abominable. The poor XP rewards are just the icing on the fail cake.

    While the Cardassian arc (up until Second wave) is horrible in terms of rewards, that doesn't change that going from level 50 to 55 requires just as much, if not more XP then it does to go from 1-50, and the rewards don't scale appropriately like the rest of the game either.
