Hourly Reputation only twice

rebuilthk47 · October 2015

Observation: I have noticed lately that the Hourly reputation can only be done twice for earning reputation, despite the fact that it says that it can be done three times every twenty hours.

Fact: Every time I complete two hourly missions, the third tells me that I won't get reputation XP.

Admission: Yes I know the daily is better for gaining XP.

Conclusion: So the reputation system is broken in that regard.

For leveling up hourly reputation is mostly a waste of time as there is no XP overflow between ranks. Something like 99% of the time you don't level up faster with it. The only thing its good for it hoping you get a random item that's good.

Hi @rebuilthk47 , I am investigating something similar with the operations support team as I have reported a similar problem with the hourly rep tasks not rewarding correctly. I am testing at the moment a variety of scenarios. I would appreciate if you could tell me anything further you come across. I will try and keep this post updated as well, and post this link into my bug report.

Thx!

I have seen this bug many times since the hourly/daily change in the rep systems. Last time I tried the hourly rep project I needed to run 3 to get to t5 and I was going to be on for around 3 hours. It only ran once before it gave out no XP (I had run one about 25 hours earlier). This has been broken for quite some time now. Best advice is what pottsey5g said, don't bother with them. Even if they were working they aren't worth the time or resource investment (unless special need rises).

So far I have tried completing the daily then turning in the hourly, the hourly worked fine, then running a second hourly, which also worked fine. My next test is multiple hourlies across other reps to see if there is a shared cool down, which there shouldn't be.

Any other suggestions welcome!

Statement: Interesting theories. I have only done the hourly in just one reputation. It seemed to not matter whether I accepted the hourly before or after the daily.

Request: Please do keep me appraised of your findings.

I have just recently came across this problem as well. Doing reps on alts, but also doing the new terran rep, can only do the hourly rep twice a day instead of its normal 3 times a day. I do hope this is fixed soon as doing alts reps is done a little quicker

Seems i can do the hour projects only once a day now.
I don't fill all the slots with projects, i only do one at a time and still wont let me do anymore then the one hourly rep project.
Is there any news about this issue?

There may be more than one bug in play here. Prior to S11, there was an issue with the hourly rep projects where slotting 2 back to back (i.e. slotting one and putting one on deck) would prevent you from running the 3rd allowed project. There was a workaround which was basically to just run the hourly projects one at a time (instead of queuing them up). However, with S11 that solution is no longer working for the Terran rep - you are locked to 2 hourlies per 20 hours no matter what.

In some of my testing it seemed like all the reps are now locked to 2 hourlies instead of 3, but I haven't been able to thoroughly confirm.

I dont mind hourly reps for items. how ever, it's glitchy to say the least. I also have seen more than 2 xp gains per day,
but they have to be 4 hours apart.

login. run daily and hourly. both gain.
run hourly again, no gain when completed (x3)
hourly again might gain (somewhere between 3rd and 6th).
by the time you do it 13-14 times in a day, you might see 3-4 gains, but it sure isnt 200 rep exp per completion like it should be.

Yeah, that was what i was trying to say, i have always done my daily and my 3 hourly rep projects fine with no issues when not filling up all slots. If i did fill up the slots, i would have issues doing them. But i dont fill up the slots and seems its been a tad messed up since the Terran rep was launched

To make sure i wasnt imagining things with this bug, i took note on a new day, being today. I slotted my daily, and my first hourly rep projects, and got them going. I then looked at the hourly project that i could slot just to see if it was going to give me the 200 xp for it, which it said it would. But, again, i did not slot it because i know about the glitch.
So, anyway, the first hourly project had finished, i claimed the rewards from it, went to slot the second one i was looking at before to see if it was still going to give me the xp for it, and it said " This project does not reward Reputation XP ". When, before the first project had completed it said it would give XP.
Also, i know i have only done the one hourly rep project, because i started off the day with 69 marks. The daily costs 30, and to do 3 hourly projects(when it is working), costs 15 marks each = 45 marks, so i had enough to do the hourly twice. But, i only got xp for it once.
Also, i tried out the reps on one of my other toons. The toon had the double xp token claimed. I tried the Nukara rep. And so far, i have been able to do the 3 hourly reps on it. But, that is only one rep. But if it is anything to go by, then we maybe lucky that it is only the terran rep that is affected at this stage.
Hopefully this info will make it even more easier for the devs to track the issue and squash the bug dead

I've tried doing the Terran hourly twice and got the two lots of rewards fine, but the third time has the caveat about not awarding XP.

About a year ago the hourly rep assignments were changed, you can only complete 3 hourly assignments in a 20 hour period, after that, you can slot more but, no XP will be given. It was a change in Season nine:
