Does bonus skill points actually work from armada?

I do a doff mission.
It says it rewards 1000 skill points.
In the log it says 1000 skill points.
On my progression bar it goes up by 1000 skill points.

Where and when does/should? the bonus apply?

    anyone got any ideas on how this is broken down etc etc

    Any number crunchers actually worked this out? Anyone seen if this works?

    So after consulting other players about the exp from the temporal doff missions. They seem to get the same as me. Different fleets, different bonuses.
    So that coupled with the fact no one has come out stating it does work, I have come to the conclusion it is bogus and alpha fleets are getting nothing.

    I just completed "What Lies Beneath" and "Everything Old is New" on my Delta Recruit....and something is wonky with the Armada Skill Point rewards. My fleet is a Gamma Fleet with 2.5% skill point bonus from the Armada.

    First indication there was an issue: the notification of the number of skill points did not match what I was supposed to be rewarded for "What Lies Beneath". So, I paid closer attention and made a note of the numbers for "Everything Old is New".

    The mission window calculates the reward correctly, but when the reward is collected, you do not get the bonus skill points...just the base reward for the assignment.

    Although I am seeing the bonus dilithium calculated in the mission window and it rewards the correct amount.

    When I have been doing mission replays on my Toon in an alpha fleet with a 3% xp bonus I have been getting about 3030xp which is about 8% higher than the base reward the mission says is given out. This pretty much tallies with my 5% for being 700+ day Vet and 3% for the Armada bonus. For mission rewards it looked to me like it was rewarding just fine.

    I don't know if this problem only effect Delta Recruits, since there doesn't seem to be many complaints about it.
    I did not check DOFFing or a "regular" character, as I am out of time to play right now.

    This may need to be moved over to the Bug area of the Forum.

    Besides the fact that Delta Recruits is bugged..I can safely say that the XP bonus skills is NOT working as intended. I tested it and only works as per kill but does not show as a bonus to a final mission reward. Posted on bug section as well:
    http://perfectworld.vanillaforums.com/discussion/1197485/armada-skill-point-bonus-not-working-for-mission-rewards#latest

    Hope is looked up soon by Devs or whats the use of the Armadas of Season 10.5normal-7.gif

    I think some dev stated on reddit -maybe even the forum- that at least specpoints dont work. Wouldnt be surprising if it extends to XP.

    They "look into it". But since its low priority -it would be beneficial for the players to work, not for the devs/company- I wouldnt hold my breath for a fast fix.​​

    Wait, season 10.5 IS armadas. And armardas doesn't work. Are you seriously telling me they KNOW season 10.5 DOESN'T work, but they don't care because it isn't an exploit?

    Wow. Just...Wow.

    I take back what I said above, it seems the amount of xp awarded is now less than stated rather than more like I was experiencing before. It is now reduced by exactly the Armada bonus xp amount so as per OP it does not seem to be working. No idea though if we even get the bonus xp for being a Vet now as well :(

    Edit: Checked on a toon which is not in an Armada and the xp reports as being the same as my Armada toon recieved. This is showing that the mission reward dialogue is showing how much xp you should receive with Armada bonus but it is not awarding it.

    XPBonus not working, more power related lag than ever and 600mil dps in isa because of broken research consoles.

    Congratulations so far Cryptic. I never thought it possible but you really outdid yourselves with season 10.5.

    Edit: some of the fails in advanced pve seem to be still in place as well in contradiction to your release blog.

    Ha ha broken this, broken that, the quality of the content has been going downhill and been threatened with going under the bus for a while now.
    I wonder if we'll have the same issues with the new Akira that we had when the c-store version was launched, anyone remember that farce ?.
    They released the ship but they screwed up the identity of the ship and the game was reading it as a shuttle so all those peeps that bought it on the 1st day couldn't do any PvE queues with it lol.

    I really wish someone would/could buy this game off PWE and get it back on track.

    You are not alone with that wish. :)

    It’s not as if this game would not have great support from a vast community to back it up. Problem is just that the adjustments made to STO the past years as well as the quality issues that continue to mount will simply turn even the most loyal customers away eventually.

    Ps. Fun post of yours. Armitage was the verry first purchace I made in this game 3,5 years ago. This online world felt a lot more fun back then.

    I looked for a Dev posting on Reddit about the Armada Bonus Skill Points not working and could not find it. If you have a link, please post it here.

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    I have verified on a Level 60 character last night....it is broken there, too.

    With the verification from dirlettia that she is seeing it on an Alpha fleet rewards...I can only conclude it may be effecting the entire Armada system.

    As in, not related to my Delta Recruit, and not isolated to Gamma fleets.

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    I think it is rather strange for a Dev to make a comment of priorities without checking what is going on, first.

    This appears to be effecting the entire system of rewards from Armadas and a big part of why someone would be building one!

    I would think that a system wide failure should land this squarely in the "high priority" list.

    I can't believe this isn't a bigger thing. 100% of people in Alpha fleets are receiving NOTHING and no one cares?
  • suprcheesesuprcheese Member Posts: 117 Arc User
    So wait, my 8% alpha fleet skill points boost... is not working at all? Well that's terribly depressing, although honestly not surprising, considering Cryptic's track record.

  • SanoSano Member Posts: 101 Arc User
    Best thing is even after a good while of being reported it still isnt in the "known issues" list.

    I mean its not like "Armada" is the new big thing right? So why would we care about the bonus xp which are the main reason for doing armadas as a primary/alpha fleet?

    Yeah, I'm in an Alpha fleet. Haven't seen any bonuses whatsoever. But hey, a lot of S10.5 things are broken. That HE doff (HE after 15 secs) doesn't work either.
