[GAME BUG]Only Earning 2nd Half Stopwatch XP for Missions

(defiantIdeal) #1

For those that aren’t aware, currently only your XP for the last round of a stopwatch match gets counted towards missions(not sure about account lvl). So if you have a mission to get support XP and you make 3k Support XP defending for 15 mins in round one, that xp isn’t actually counted towards anything when the map is finished. Same goes for combat and objective XP.

I’ve seen some really old posts reporting this bug, how is it still around? On top of that it seems that even the new execution mode had the same problem. Can we expect to only get XP for 1 out of possibly 12 rounds for that too?

There are 2 bugs related to stopwatch ive seen. One is that it records points towards mission progression only from second round and second(it happens sometimes in objective mode as well, but much rarer imo) that sometimes it dosnt count progress at all(yday it took me 5 won games for 3 win mission to be completed) for all current missions.
As far as i can tell it manifests in one of 2 ways. First, in game summary it shows that there is no missions, and therefore no progress, but when pre-game lobby loads progress does register. And second, far more common, it shows no missions and no progress.

Another reason to not play that mode I suppose. Thanks for letting me know.

That’s why I typically don’t do Stopwatch in pubs if I am trying to complete missions that aren’t Stopwatch missions.

The funny thing is that sometimes you do get all the XP from the previous round which might create a, “works for me” situation when SD tests it.

A few of us should record Stopwatch matches where the XP isn’t given correctly then post the videos on the bug section of the Warchest forums. The devs might up the priority on it or get a better understanding of the issue.

I would gladly help with that but how to differentiate exp? There is no actual numerical display between rounds and can’t be realistically sitting around counting every med pack I throw till the round switches.

This bug was described many times here, and I guess, even more often in the warchest forums.
So either they are working on a big full-overhaul haha, the communication isn’t working at all, they don’t play their own game, only two people are working on DB, or they aren’t allowed to fix much more than just blingbling money money.
Whatever it is, it’s just one of many bugs been around since at least the start of the closed beta.

This is a bug I didn’t even know about, no wonder my xp for challenges had been going so slowly lately when I started playing mostly stopwatch

Really annoying bug. Hope it gets fixed soon. :smiley:

There’s a reason I never play Stopwatch.

(Dirmagnos) #11

Theres 2 reasons i personally despise Stopwatch: stomping and this bug.

(Aazhyd) #12

Well, 1 Stopwatch a day nets 500 cash. That’s basically all the SW I do.

(Ardez1) #13

Thank you for reporting this bug.

Short and simple, the bug is that you receive NO mission progress at all from anything that you did in the first round of a Stopwatch match. I had noticed weird things happening with mission progress before when I played Stopwatch, but I didn’t really try to crack down on the cause until today. To prove it I did a simple test with my current combat xp mission: Go ham the first round, then do no harm the second.

As you can see in these screenshots, I killed 28 and topped my team in the first round. Then, the next round, I went Aura and did nothing but heal and revive - I never engaged in combat. We lost the round, and then in the after-game report my fears were confirmed - Not one of my 28 kills in the first round was counting towards the Hunter Killer mission. And it’s not that my missions are totally borked either, since you can see me get progress for Operation: Proxy.

PLS FIX STOPWATCH SPLASH DAMAGE

I’ve just encountered this bug for the first time. Until now I think that all my XP from Stopwatch was properly awarded in missions.

Now that there are missions “earn XP (with in your squad) in Stopwatch”, this bug is kinda annoying. I had a really good match with enough XP to complete all 3 missions at once, but it didn’t happen due to this bug.

Still an issue. Played SW today and had this same bug happen to me. 1st half of SW did not count towards my hunter killer mission.
