    It has felt to me for awhile that the daily XP bonus doesn’t always occur. Recently I did some detailed tracking which seems to confirm there is a problem.

    A summary of the issue and detailed tracking are below.

    Before I submit this as a bug I am wondering if anybody can think of any other explanation?


    Summary:

    When I’m traveling, I often login once per day just to get the daily XP bonus (i.e. I login and immediately login out). In these cases I see the the daily XP bonus message in the chat window and I see the XP bonus numerically reflected in my XP.

    When I’m playing regularly, usually 5-6 hours a day, I do not see the XP bonus message in the chat window I do not see the XP bonus numerically reflected in my XP.

    I’ve been tracking my XP at the start and end of each day so I can tell if it’s changed due to the bonus after logging in.

    Also, I don’t know if the timing of the eligibility for the Oracle test is on the same clock as daily XP bonus, but I haven’t noticed an issue there. I didn’t track it as closely, but most days when I login I visit the oracle right away and am typically eligible for the test.




    Detailed Tracking:
