Thread: Screwed with negative exp?

I retired from freelance pilot during double XP week. As many of us know... when you retire you lose all piloting exp you had accrued. Well it seems during double exp week you lost DOUBLE the exp as I now have NEGATIVE 30661 space combat experience. Seriously. I filed a ticket and was responded to something how negative exp is meant to be had now????!!!


Anyone else run into this?

Did you have the inspiration buff. I did when I dropped freelancer and went to -47000 xp. The csr that responded said to bug it and they was sorry for the inconveinence. They never reimbursed me for my xp and time loss though.

It should be this way IMO. If you drop pilot you should get some sort of punishment. I bet its fun to grind 40k as a TIER 1 mwuhaha !!!

No, it's not fun at all.


Find a high level friend, or a high level pilot doing duty missions who doesn't mind you following them. You only need to hit each ship for full xp - I pulled out of my 120k debt in about half an hour this way.


It happens when you have an inspiration buff on when you drop the boxes.

Yeah, going as a gunner in a PoB, Y-Wing, ARC, etc would probably be the easiest way to get out of the hole (since we'll be old and grey if they ever release a fix for this).

The CSR wouldn't reset your experience, eh? That's unfortunate, I've heard of others who had. Wish they were more consistent about things like that, though I suppose it's difficult to keep everyone informed about everything.

I reported this bug a week or two ago. It affects all experience loss, though, including Jedi, so there's a fair chance of seeing a fix soon.

that's just flat out wrong. Tell your CSR that they are supposed to. CSRJorgeS set me back to zero, no questions, no hassles. I still have -700k imp prestige but it's the XP that hurt.

I'd find some one with a POB and just be the gunner. I help friends like this all the time to get them to 2222. Really doesn't take long at all.

Just had this problem myself WOOT negative 228k XP and the CSR sent me to this page and told me to /bug it. Maybe instead of a support group they could fix the problem, after all I still pay for this game.

If it won't get you into trouble by reiterating something Tomo, please bring this up again SPECIFICALLY in the context of the inconsistent reimbursements. Maybe some people aren't getting help because they had already done the grinding by the time a CSR got to responding to them, and I dont think those people should get a bonus (no way to know how much in the hole they were) however, having some people who drop pilot correctly get to 0xp, and some people who drop incorrectly but get zeroed by a CSR, is really unfair to the people who get bit by the bug and get a CSR who won't help them by zeroing them.


Please just bring it up and say CSRs need to zero people, and ask Tiggs or TH to get a memo to them that this is what they should be doing.

Good call. I don't think anything like that would land me in trouble, but I'm not afraid of that if it's due to a responsible post made in pursuit of something that should help the game.

And I have actually brought this up a couple more times now. Hadn't thought to ask that it be treated consistently, though.

My buddy fatality lost 500k xp when he dropped pilot. He sucked it up and worked it to 0.
