So, 22 days ago I created this Bug Report because the Tong Shi’s Gifts items that should let the hero Gain 1 level instantly do not actually grant the stated reward…
The event contained six such rewards over its duration.
This means my hero should have received six rewards of 3,500,000 XP unaffected by the hero’s XP modifier (for being above the Server’s paragon level), i.e. a total of 21,000,000 XP.
What my hero actually received was four rewards of 350,000 XP, one reward of 175,000 XP then another reward of 350,000 XP, i.e. a total of 1,925,000 XP.
The bug means my hero has missed out on 19,075,000 XP and, as a result, the six instances of Gain 1 level instantly actually granted me insufficient XP to gain a single level.
So, as you didn’t fix the bug in the three weeks the event has been active, will you be sending out the missing XP to affected players, e.g. an in-game email with 5 level ups?
All you had to do was test it on an alt or something like everybody else did to know it wasn’t a full level, the same way it wasn’t for the Christmas XP items as well.
To be honest I think the only time this ever did actually grant 1 full level was during the Blood Knight release pseudo-Fractured Plane, and I think the fact that it gave out full levels like that was the bug in and of itself.
A full level is 3,500,000 XP. People were granted 3,500,000 XP per use, and then took the reductions.
I say this as a hardcore grinder myself, but it’s nobody’s choice but our own to push as high above the server paragon as we do. There is little to no benefit and often a ton of pre-planning that can go wrong in various ways. Nobody is going to mail you 5 levels that you can bank for the push to 1300.
Look at the bright side, it’s XP from the past now. At least you weren’t banned with no explanation and had all your appeals denied.
