Brotherhood Experience Questions

Brotherhood Allocation problem

Me and 6 others set out to test the brotherhood experience allocation system. 6 of us have traveled together since birth and have almost exactly the same experience and definitely all the same level.

The 6 who have traveled together since birth joined a brotherhood when one of us had to camp for the evening. We invited another person into the group and she was one level lower than we were.

Therefore the group had 5 brotherhood members and one non brotherhood member. When we started killing I notice that i was getting only 5 brotherhood messages. Each was giving me 21 brotherhood experience. After awhile I started noticing that I was getting 5 experience messages but one was now giving 28 and the others was giving 21. I wasn't sure of the reason for the change but all the other brotherhood members were getting the same results. (could it be one crossed the 80% experience and the others still at 79% so exp allocation points changed?)

The non brotherhood member was getting 124 experience per kill. She was one level below us but my 21x5 equal 105 experience verses her's 124. I started thinking about this and decided that had I gotten 6 experience messages of 21 each it would seem like the right amount.

We continued fighting and one of the brotherhood members needed to leave but fortunately the one that was camped just got back. Upon log in he said he received approx 30,000 experience. He thanked us for our hard work.

When I looked at the brotherhood Contribution it said the 5 member each contributed 36,000 experience. Why didnt' the person that logged in get 36,000 experience instead of 30,000? It could be that 5 times 36,000 divided by 6 would equal 30,000. Since I'm not sure if the Contributed amount was the brother experience each had gotten or the total experience that then got allocated to the brotherhood, I don't know what the correct experience should have been.

One of the members needed to log out. Which left us with 4 brotherhood members and 1 non member. The 4 brotherhood were all 14 and the one non brotherhood member was 13. (and a half she wanted everyone to know). To continue, when we killed our next mob we got 4 brotherhood messages each at 25 experience totalling 100. We were getting 105 experience but that went down to 100 when we lost a fighting member of the group. The non brotherhood experience person was getting 149 experience.

Another logged off (for us to test something) so we had 3 brotherhood members all level 14 and one non brotherhood member still at 13 (and a half+). We killed same type/level mob and got 3 brotherhood messages each at 32 experience for a total of 96 experience. The non member got 186 adventuring experience. The person who logged off logged back on and got 29 adventuring brotherhood experience!! Why only 29! It should have been 96 I would have thought. That's a big lost of experience. Where did it go?

That made me wonder what happened with the person that logged off 2 kills ago. He should get 100 + 96 experience when he logged in. So we got him to do that and he got -0-!! He checked and so did I and he was still a member of the fellowship. What happened to his experience?

I'm tired of writting and this is getting really long but you can see, experience sure doesn't seem to be working as I think it was intended. I have a lot more examples as we continute to test but it appears that the about covers all the different types of possible problems we ran accross.

Wow, that's much weirdness. I've only done 2-man BHs so far and have noticed only the following:

If Person A has a contribution of 100xp in the Brotherhood window, then Person B at login will get 50 xp, not 100. I concluded from this that "contribution" means total xp earned, which is then divided among the BH members.

However, I have not yet been able to play both members of a BH at the same time, which may complicate matters. I'll try and do that a bit later today, once the other computer in the room is free.

Our team is beginning investigation on this now. Thank you for posting this data for me.

I formed Brotherhood with my wife, we logged off at 80% into level 5. A little while later I decided I wanted to get level 6 abilities so I played and thought she would be level 6 when she came back. she received Zero XP so we still had to kill to get her to level 6.
