Well I've come to accept bugs as a part of the overall process. There will be bugs now, and there will be bugs later. As long as we're working towards solving them, then eventually we'll be one step closer to a better game overall.

The team I have in Expeditions all had 20XP last night. Now they have 3XP.

The key stat is the level, they are gaining exp not only from the XP Creator, but also from the expedition itself (when it completes), so depending on how much they gained, a level-up might have occurred.

No level up. I have left them alone with each of them also in a Soul Room. No expedition done either. Waiting for the next cooldown to be done.

Hmm, interesting, as of now I'm not sure if there's even a way for a character to lose XP. So this is quite puzzling. (Thinking face)

Maybe my math is wrong and I remembered their levels incorrectly.

Too many souls, areas, numbers, currencies happening at the same time.

Plus currently ODing on Rick and Morty probably isn't helping my sanity.

Hahaha ^^

Not just insane, but also an idiot. A complete idiot. I just realised something that should have been obvious on day one.

You get a skill point every two levels, not every level. I think this is where the confusion lay with regards to whether or not I had levelled.

Ahh, I can understand that confusion.

I THINK I see what the problem is with idle XP earnings.

Right now all of my active character - Outerworld team and Expeditions team - are all in a Soul Room, except one character. Seven hours have passed and all those who are in a soul room have 7XP, the one who is not has more.

So it would seem that the soul room does not add XP gain from the Soul Room does not add to XP gain from the main Expi feature, it replaces it. It also seems to reset current XP amount upon quitting the game.

I think you just need to find a way for XP to never to be removed, lost or reset, only added. Sounds simple in my mind, but of course I'm not the nerd here.

Well, not THAT kind of nerd ;)

What's the Soul Room in this case?

docnutnut1 year ago(+1)

The room that gives one character 1XP per hour.

Also, do you watch any TV shows? I watch all sorts and am currently LOVING the new season of Fargo. Obviously I don't know if you've ever seen it, but the first two seasons were amazing and the next two were good but slowly getting worse. This season is superb again.

I could talk about TV shows all day long, but if you are not into them or you watch Ru Paul's Drag Race, Ice Road Truckers or The Voice then we have nothing to talk about!

If you do watch, just tell me your top three all-time shows. Don't think too hard, my top three would be randomly selected from my top 10.

Breaking Bad

Dark

Lost

Actually the first two will always be the first two. The third changes from day-to-day.

I've gone through most mainstream TV Shows that are of interest to me.

I've now been delving into international TV shows.

Top three all-time shows might be:

1. Hell on Wheels

2. Ties: The Last Kingdom / Severance

3. Ties: Sherlock / One Punch Man / Love Death + Robots (Certain episodes)

I will have to give Hell on Wheels a go. I have not heard of it, but anyone who has Severance, Sherlock and Love Death and Robots in their top sort-of-three has good taste.

I am very much eagerly awaiting season 2 of Severance. I will have to rewatch season 1 first though as it was an utter mindfuck.

Season 1 of LD&R was almost flawless, the later seasons had their highs and lows.

One more thing. Does the Equipment Generator work?

I always get a notification about Orbs generated, but not equipment. Though I am not certain that I have had it for 12 hours. Regardless, I don't think that either room needs a notification that requires me to close. A simple +1/2/3, the same as idle creds/XP would be fine, I think, for both Orbs and Equipment.

My slow PC gets really slow when the Orb notification is loading. I wonder if the Equipment notification is lost in the processing time. A simple +1 would probably not tax my machine as much.

Last time I checked it worked.

I wonder if "Does X work?" would become more common if the notifications were less obvious?

I see, perhaps so.

My slow PC gets really slow when the Orb notification is loading.

I'll see if I can optimize this, as it shouldn't be that taxing on your system.

Something that has always happened now and then, and it is probably to do with my ancient PC is that when I load the game, instead of being taken to the initial menu I am taken to an empty screen with an arrow in the bottom right that asks me to 'leave this screen' except it doesn't do anything, so I ALT F4 and it is fine the next time.
