[ Bug ] Brumaltine's "Gain 1 level instantly" does not give you 1 level instantly

Bug Report
1

The gifts for Brumaltine contain an XP item…

These items say…

Instant Level
Gain 1 level instantly

Well, here’s my hero’s Inventory screen, prior to collecting the 23rd December gift, showing that he has 545,407/3,500,000 XP towards his next paragon level, and is earning XP at 50% rate due to being six paragon levels above the server level…

I proceeded to collect the prize…

And there was no noise of a paragon level being obtained. Checking my hero’s Inventory screen again, it showed I had 2,295,407/3,500,000 XP towards my next paragon level…

Now then…
2,295,407 - 545,407 = 1,750,000 XP

The “Gain 1 paragon instantly” item does not grant 1 paragon level instantly.

The “Gain 1 paragon instantly” item grants 3,500,000 XP affected by your hero’s XP modifier.

This is the same bug as was experienced, and reported, in Brumaltine 2023…

You had an entire year to fix this, and didn’t.

Another bug, related: The reward is only changed “negatively”. I mean that you were supposed to received 3.5M of XP, but having a modifier of 50%, you only received 1.75M.

In my case (I just claimed it), my character was below the server paragon level, gaining 150% XP rewards with around 3M of XP in the current level. So it should have received 3.5M + 1.75M = 5.25M of XP. It didn’t, just the “nominal” 3.5M. I still gained 1 level, but I should have gained 2 and reached like 1.25M for the next one.

Guessing that the fix (if any) will be to change the description of the reward to something like: “Gain up to 3.5M of XP, depending on your current hero’s XP modifier”. This would make both your reward and mine to be “correct”.

But the thing is that none of us got what the game is announcing right now. Some compensation would be the right thing to do (maybe a “real” instant level :smile: ). But seeing how this same issue already happened one year ago and nothing at all was done…

Yeah, good luck with that.
They didn’t do so in Brumaltine 2023, which had the same issue.

Today’s claim…

3,159,192 - 2,109,192 = 1,050,000 XP

Today, Gain 1 level instantly = Gain 30% of a level instantly

I guess that I got to be on the “lucky side” of this issue :smile:
All of my 5 characters are at Paragon levels ranging 603-616, being the server level 620, so I’m actually getting the “Instant Level” reward with all of them.

I’m aware that this is a weird case (I’m a weird DI player :laughing: ) and that most people who play with only one character are receiving way less than they should.

That’s why I mentioned a “compensation”. Not because I’d hope that it will happen, but because the game is in fact deceiving lots of players. But I’m also aware that this happens (and has happened since the game was launched) with many other instances/features of the game and for most of those cases, nothing was ever done.

Today’s claim…

1,268,483 - 568,483 = 700,000 XP

Today, Gain 1 level instantly = Gain 20% of a level instantly

6

Also the count for Brumaltine recieved gifts are bugged. I have over 30 recieved and says I have 10.

The only ones counting are custom messages.

The automatic messages are not being counted as “recieved” toward reward progress.

7

The card counts work for unique sender / recipients.

For example, you say you’ve received a total of 30 cards, but the count is 10. This would indicate that 10 players on your Friends list have each sent you at least one card and the other 20 cards were sent to you by the same 10 players.

However, let’s keep this thread about the gifts. There are already threads about the cards.

Today’s claim…

2,645,069 - 895,069 = 1,750,000 XP

Today, Gain 1 level instantly = Gain 50% of a level instantly

10

Today’s claim…

3,110,261 - 2,060,261 = 1,050,000 XP

Today, Gain 1 level instantly = Gain 30% of a level instantly

11

Today’s claim…

2,340,004 - 1,640,004 = 700,000 XP

Today, Gain 1 level instantly = Gain 20% of a level instantly

12

So, in summary…

  • What was advertised in-game was six lots of Gain 1 level instantly, i.e. a total of 6 paragon levels.
  • What was delivered in-game was 50% of a level, 30% of a level, 20% of a level, 50% of a level, 30% of a level, 20% of a level, i.e. a total of 2 paragon levels.

Exactly the same false advertising as was reported in last year’s Brumaltine event.

Either fix the event so it actually grants a full paragon point per prize or fix the description of the prizes to match what they actually grant.

There is so much with this event that just screams laziness, with every single bug or error report last year not a single one was dealt with. It’s not like time was needed to create it from scratch. Plus the 40 gift needing to be different people with no easy option and running out of cards before the event even ends.
