I am new here (but not new to beta testing software) so sorry if I have missed something obvious.

I am doing the "rummage janitor's closet" mission and have noticed that sometimes when I succeed and am told I will get x experience I actually get x-1 experience.

For example I just did one and it said I received 5 experience, when in actual fact I received 4 experience.

I have looked in the wiki and the only thing I can see that can affect values appears to be stamina, although by my understanding that only affects strength etc.

My stamina was around 90% the last time I tried, I am now going to try with 100% stamina.

Stm: 100%

Exp: 778/1191

failed

Stm: 98%

Exp: 778/1191

SUCCESS! You run up in the closet and search around as fast as you can before making your escape.

You got $18 and gained 7 experience!

exp now 785/1191 (as expected) which rules out a link with stamina, I am now fairly sure that what I have been seeing is a legitimate bug and on some occasions I have not been receiving the full amount of experience displayed in the success message.

My experience should now read 790 experience but I am actually showing 789 experience.

Something else that just occurred to me: do you lose experience when you fail the mission?

u thinkin TOO hard bruh, u don't lose exp & it may be an issue with rounding.. nothin too serious

When you are getting around 10 exp every 5 minutes it soon mounts up. A player with higher stats missing out on 10% of his experience would be peeved too.

As a former free to play open source game developer myself I know that a game needs new players to survive, and anything a new player considers unfair will be a disincentive to continue playing which will impact the game developers and investors due to a potential future loss of earnings.

"Just chill" is a good attitude generally but a bug report is a bug report and should therefore be acted upon - even if only to say "that is not a bug but thanks for reporting it".

gettin exp on here is not somethin we strive for at low levels, we would love to train and not get it o_O

All that writing stresses me out (closes eyes and leaves)

What DaBangEm said...

I would love to give away some of the 97% exp i have on my level 5 right now...

you should be great full that your not getting all the exp after crimes

No, the bug should not be there.

If I were to buy something from you for $100 and only pay you $90 when it came time to pay you would not be so amenable.

I know from experience that the bug is a trivial one to find and fix, but unless they are pointed out they will never be looked at.

This section of the forum is actually for bug reports, I have found and pointed out a potentially legitimate bug in the game. It is up to the developers to review and decide if it is a valid issue and then go and patch it.

Just because I am new does not make the issue any less real.

Please refrain from commenting unless it is directly related to the issue, not to discuss the merits or not of gaining experience on a general basis.

Feel free to make your own post if you want to express your feelings of frustration at the game, please don't hijack my thread.

damn too much writing.. im not really understanding what the bug is???? all i can say is smoke weed everyday

It's not a huge bug, and no one is getting ripped off. It's a simple rounding thing. When it displays it to you as 7 EXP it may have been like 6.8 or something and your true EXP may have been 100.2 (just for example), so although you would expect 106, you'd REALLY have 107. I'll update crimes to actually round the number before display.

Also, chill out is appropriate here. You really are getting super-worked up over something pretty trivial. No one is kicking your dog. But thanks for pointing it out.

*edit* and fixed
