🐛[BUG] [System/Combat] Level sync exp penalty #1460

Open Gotsz opened 1 year ago

What does this bug affect? System/Combat

I thought exp nerf was 2.5% per level above the sync after lvl 10. It seems like the formula includes all levels after (i.e.) If Sync is level 53 but im level 64, it nerfs 12.5%. Though... it would seem. However, upon reviewing with some LS and party mates, this is closer to 20%. On an exp chain #4, several times I would receive 172 exp, while my party members would get 215 exp suggesting its a 20% nerf. Is there something I am not understanding? My expected exp would be 209 at a 2.5% nerf. Thank you.

Steps to Reproduce

Find a sync 11 levels below. Get to chain 4. Review Exp for members. Expected behavior At worst case, exp nerf should be 12.5%, at best it should only be 2.5%. But at this time, its almost 20%.

Actually, from the math you are receiving more EXP than you should have with the penalty. The penalty is 2.5% per level above the sync. So if you were 64 in a 53 sync, you are 11 levels above the sync.

11 2.5% = 27.5% Assuming the EXP restriction is applied after the chain multiplier: 215 .275 = 59.125 -- So your EXP would be reduced by 59 215 - 59 = 156

EXP reduction could be being applied before the EXP chain multiplier which is why this math is off.

Ahhh interesting.I thought it was every level after 10 levels, that's why it didn't make sense to me.I guess that makes sense too, lots of formulas that go on in this game I know as a programmer can be annoying to navigate  Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android
