Multiplayer XP

[Jacob Blade]

Alright, real talk: how does the Multiplayer XP math work? If a four-player team starts with 100% (normal) XP each, too easy: everyone gets the same number. What happens when one player raises their XP gain mid-match by 20%? Everyone still seems to get level ups at the same time?

* Does everyone now benefit: 120% each person
* Is it watered down as an average: (100%*3 + 120%)/4
* It is based on the lowest common value (by far the suckiest implementation)

Each player contributes differently to the same XP Pool.
If I get +20% XP = A 10 XP pickup is now 12 XP if I pick it up.
If you get a -20% XP = A 10 XP pickup is now 8 XP if you pick it up.
Also XP in Atomic is a float, so we can have 1.5 XP or broken numbers.

Excellent break down, thank you!
