You have achieved your current limit of pistol weapons experience.

Ack...**edit**....all that weapons experience suddenly deducted? What is going on here? I spent weeks upon weeks earning it.

Huh?

weeks? really i got 418k tonight ( yes one day ). my buddy got 200k....hmm...we hunted for 5 hours...i had hunted for 4 hours earlier...before you say i dont have time to hunt that long...to bad, i work, i goto school. I just finally had a day off. But even 100k in 2 hours isnt hard to achieve if you work at it

Can you tell us what you are hunting to get 100k of pistol xp per hour?

it just means you have to spend some of it on skills...

or...you were above you cap...happen to me with tka...i lost over 54k exp

i lost 350k when i surrendered and relearned pistol 1, caps it at 10k argh

The cap of XP your XP pool can hold is roughly twice as much XP as it takes to get your next highest skill level. So, if would take 20,000XP to get your next level, you can hold 40,000XP in your pool. Some skills havedifferent caps, most notably CH's, where a CH can only pool the amount to get their next skill +20,000XP.

Lets say you needed 20,000XP(cap of 40,000XP) for your next level, and had 35,000XP in your pool. Then you surrender a skill so your new cap is 20,000XP. Your 35,000XP would remain untouched UNTIL you got the next point of XP in that skill. As soon as you get even 1 point of XP, the game does a check to see if you are at your limit and will strip any XP you have over your current cap. In the case of my example, If I were to earn another point of XP, I would lose 15,000XP to get me back to my cap of 20,000XP.

So, if you have a stock pile of pistol XP that you want to keep, and reverse your pistol skills for whatever reason, don't ever use a pistol again, switch to a carbine and you will be able to keep XP past your XP cap. As soon as you get even 1 pistol XP, your XP pool will instantly be dropped back to its' cap.

Son of a Gun , I had the same thing happen to me the other day , i lost 80k combat points surrendering support skill , i flipped , i was about to get my knockdown and bam it all went down the toilet . I placed a Ticket in , but i havent been on to see if they will replace the points. I dont play much so those points are very costly to me .

Why are there XP Pool caps anyway? What reasonable purpose does it possibly serve? I think there should not be a limit on the amount of XP you can acumulate. Experience is experience...you should never lose it.

still, I want to know how you got 350kxp in 4 hours

It limits you so that you cant drop 1 master fully and get another one right away. You have to work at it again.

I had this happen to me with some scouting xp. Bleh
