Can u confirm that only max level players get that bug? Bcuz i hopped on my alt acc and its far from max, got a reaper, got impregnated and still cant gain no levels, i think maybe its bcuz i was using a max drake for killing things and didnt kill stuff by myself but not sure. PS Please update me if u can confirm the bug is fixed now

Yes that would have been the cause of the issue for you. What was happening was that if any point along the path that experience was being shared something was at max level, it stopped passing experience down the chain.

So if you were on a max level dino, neither your player or your reaper or any chibis would get experience

If you yourself were at max level, Chibis and baby reapers would not get experience.

Sorry to sorta hijack the post (OK maybe not, it's a good question). For those of us that lost xp on the first days after chibis were introduced, is there any hope of getting the xp restored to the minimum required for our level if we didnt mind wipe?

I had 3 135 characters. Equipped chibis to two. Didn't realize that my xp was nerfed from 53M to 13M on both characters. Mind wiped one of them and only got 129 points to spend instead of the 134 I earned. Then my char xp bar actually showed 13M xp instead of the 53M it had before mind wipe.

The second character that equipped a chibi that nerfed xp did NOT mind wipe. So it is a 135 with 13M xp instead of the 53M it had.

Can a one time check on next login be created that checks current xp versus player level and if that xp isn't the minimum required for the level, can this one time check adjust the players xp back to the minimum required xp to be the level it is? This would fix 80% of our inadvertently xp-nerfed characters.

If you made it this far I really appreciate your time.

I am not sure if this can be done safely without potentially introducing other issues. The whole reason the exp bug, the one this thread is about, came to be was because of what looked to be a safe change made to prevent the bug that affected you from ever occurring again but had a cascading effect elsewhere in the code.

That occurrence of exp loss some people experienced is something we have been discussing so I'll bring up the idea you suggested and see if it has already been considered, but I can't make any promises as I don't know if we can do it safely without risking another xp problem. that system is pretty delicate as you have seen.
