[2020] PSA: Having more than four lunchboxes active at a time cancels out the xp bonus.

Me and some friends do a weekly xp and flux farm at Whitesprings and decided to use some lunchboxes this weekend to speed things up and we fond a bug that needs to be fixed.

So backstory and the events of how we got this too happen:Saturday we were three people, and we all opened one lunchbox. The results were that two people got a 50% bonus xp and one person got a 75% bonus xp gain. A bit wierd but we think that is was because the person who did not pop a share on the lunchbox to the other two had 3 min earlier loaded in to the server and was not fully bonded in the public team. Bugs can happen so we farm for an hour and the effect wears off we open three more and all get 75% bonus xp boost.

Sunday comes around, and we do the same thing with four people and same results pops up. One person got 100% bonus xp and four got 75% bonus xp. We do a full circle around Witesprings and the person with the 100% bonus opens a second lunchbox, so we all can get the max xp buff.

But the xp numbers dont add up, one guy gets half of his first run (i.e. standard run xp) and the other three three got about double the amount that he got.

So to test things out, since i had the highest S.C.O.R.E level at the time at 40 and a few more lunchboxes i opened an extra lunchbox, and the three of us reverted back to standard gain xp.

Now we have used up 6 lunchboxes between us and only getting normal amount of xp. This must be fixed before the 16th of June because i know a lot of you are saving your lunchboxes in the hope the repeat weekly score xp will be there during that weekend.

This migh happen by misstake also to if a random person trying to be helpful and opening a lunchbox next to you while you are at 100% bonus, that will screw over your xp gain for that hour.

And from testing Switching server, Shutting down the game and restarting, Refreshing buffs like kindred sprints or lovers embrace dont fix it. It's bugged until the extra lunchbox runs out and you have a few moments of x2 xp until they run out 20 seconds later.

Tldtr: If you have a 100% (x2) bonus xp and someone nearby or you open more lunchboxes, you revert to the standard gain of xp. To be on the safe side, run a maximum of three lunchboxes and get a 75% xp bonus until this is fixed.
