I have a question about Usage XP for the artisans...

I've noticed that my general crafting XP doesn't seem to increase when I'm not online. I've sold a number of weapons through the bazaar, uusally while I've been offline. I would assume that as these sold weapons are used, I would get additional crafting XP in the form of usage XP. I've been writing down the level of GCXP that I have before I logout, and each time when I return it hasn't changed. Once I am online though, I definitely notice the GCXP level moving up. Granted, this could all be coincidental, but I was curious ifanyone else had noticed this? Do you have to be online to receive usage XP?

Sincebeta testers never had any tools to track UXP, we were unable to effectively test it. We still don't have those tools, so we have no way of knowing if the system is working as designed.

I know that it *is* working. I've sold a crapload of HQ weapons on the bazaar and last night actually witnessed my xptickin up about 3 points in a 5 second span in the Skill sheet.

I also know that at one point I needed about 150 xp to jump to Engie III and a buddy said that he got it and would train me when Im ready. I went toconfirm that I still needed xp andlo and behold I had a green line on Engie III and all I was doing was surveying.

Also last night I took my artisan out hunting and in the span of 3 hours had earned something like 300 uxp. Talk about cool,I was super stoked.

It would be nice to somehow get a notification somehow.. although I don't want tobe spammed with:

You just earned 1 UXP from such and such.
You just earned 1 UXP from such and such.
You just earned 1 UXP from such and such.
You just earned 1 UXP from such and such.
You just earned 1 UXP from such and such.
You just earned 1 UXP from such and such.

every second. But maybe when you first logged in it could say you have earned such and such XP since the last time you logged in. Or something.

I have a question regarding the UXP, if you use your stuff then do you still get the UXP? I am also n scouting so while I am running around sampling I have been setting up tents that I have built, so yeah do I get it?

Yeah, some kind of message with a tally of UXP every five to ten minutes would be excellent to see. It could be on a toggle for those that aren't so concerned with UXP as much as regular XP...

That would be very nice though..

Has anyone else noticed that usage xp isn't really working, I do notice increase right after I sell a weapon and the person uses it, but after I log out I never seem to gain (usage)xp again, until I do the same thing. eg: I sold a bunch of blasters one day, saw usage xp increase, logged out, logged back in 3 days later and xp had not increased by even 1.

Is this a bug? I /bug ed it but I haven't really seen anyone else talk about it on the forums, I've spoke to other weaponsmiths in game and they tell me the same thing.

Maybe when this is fixedwe could get a message everytime you log in that tells you how much xp you've gained.

As far as I know you don't get UXP when offline or (I'm not 100% on this) on another planet than where the weapon is used.

Does anyone know if this is intentional or if it is a bug?

That in itself is a bug probably. The UXP is not THAT big of a deal. It really does not do that much. Its a good thing too because it allows small timmers to compete in a market that is not flooded by cheaper better guns.

Usage XP appears to be bugged. If you sell anything on the bazaar you do not seem to get usage XP for it. If you log out you do not seem to get any usage XP either. I wonder if it is related to all the server problems? Maybe when the servers go up and down or people log off and on, something that shouldn't get reset is being reset?

Anyway, the only way to advance in weapon crafting to be able to make something useful right now is to grind, and that's just not any fun.

UXP does work. The thing is, you only get general crafting xp for it. Thats right. You can make weapnsmith weapons and get crafting xp for it. It is extremely low, too... Like 1 xp per weapon being used per day. (When you have hundreds, ift not thousands,out there, you notice it a bit more).

I would have to disagree with you on this point, I've personaly seen UXP increase my WCE, the problem is that when I log out I no longer gain UXP at all.

User Xp does work, not sure exactly, but I guarantee it does. And contrary to popular belief, you do get UXP for using items yourself. Sick of grining my way through weaponsmith, I now have a funner way. I sit and grind 10-15 scout blasters. Then start running destroy missions, using a different scout blaster on each mission. After the mission I destroy it. While doin this I get WCE, credits, and Pistol XP, all while having a lot more fun then grinding.
