That should not be a surprise, it has always been only 8 rank below your own gives you xp.
You are rank68, you will only receive xp from rank 60 mantis and above.
I don't know what's the mess here?
Always been this way.
it's not about xp.. we are talking about warscore..
lvl68 now only can get warscore from a level60 and then he gets lowest warscore for it coz it is 8 levels away.
it used to be u get warscore from mantis from vega to sol..
lvl68 cannot go for a golden skull now.. u have to shoot 10x more mantis then somebody who is killing mantis 8 levels higher then his own.
so what is there to do for a lvl60+ at draconis gate instead of waiting for draconis to come out?
u cant get xp..
going for a golden skull is impossible..
cq is fun but not all day..
gamigo account holders <the older players> have grinded for what more then a year now so grinding is extremly boring..
helped out so many ppl in over a year missions dont really move you either.. only a few missions are fun to replay but most are just too dull a lot of times.. even with this same class ship rule in squad during missions.
the game needs to be a little wider..
i suggested wider stats before <like how many kills on what mantis/how many kills on players with what ship,which ship u killed in most etc..>
in addition they need more achievements in the game u can get..
like get a "medal" or a "rank" for 100k kills etc
or after 1k resurrections n heals..
things like that..
maybe thats asking too much i dont know
but making it impossible for the high level/endgamers to go for golden skull n thus their making their options more limited is not doing any good.. anybody can see that.
