Tier 3: Rematch, XP now 1075?

[totempael]

When I completed these in normal mode before the summer, the tier 3: Rematch Death Race gave 9777 xp (as stated on wikis and such when google-searching the missions), but now in normal mode they're only 1075. 2150 (or something) in TVHM. Wth happened?

I finished all missions (original and DLC) and found myself in lack of levels in normal mode to beat terra (and other bosses), so I used the rematch to level up. Complete and repeat a hundred times. But now it's not possible.

What's your current level and playthrough - NVHM, TVHM or UVHM? And are you playing solo or coop? Tier 3 Rematch Death Race only gves 9777 XP at level 50+. It gives less at the lower NVHM and TVHM levels.

I think I was lvl 35-40 first time I encountered that mission in Normal mode and when I started to farm to beat terra in normal mode first playthrough.

Now Im using same char that I've gotten to lvl 51. "raced through" Torgue to get to that specific mission but it only gave me 2150 xp (or so). Switched to normal mode to see if that was it, but no. Only 1075 xp in normal mode.

Right. At level 50 or higher, you should've switched to UVHM. Though you don't say it, it sounds like you're still in NVHM/TVHM and the longer you avoid UVHM the worse your problems will become. I'd switch to UVHM asap.

Well, have to finish second playthrough tho

Out of curiosity, which problems will I encounter?

In UVHM enemies always scale to your level. While you're in TVHM, you can't get any gear past level 50 barring the gold chest. Fighting high levelled enemies with level 50 gear is no fun.

^Like Mithra says^ By the time you reach lvl 53+ meeting lvl 55+ enemies in TVHM, if you're like the rest of us, you'll be toast. It';s really and truly no fun. Do what you have to do to kill the Warrior / finish TVHM asap and start in UVHM.

Yep, doing that now.

BUT the xp thing isnt making any sense, really.

Basically when I hit lvl 51 (or probably 50) The tier 3: rematch death race only gave 2150 xp points instead of 9777 xp. I've thought about previous answers, but it doesnt make any sense.

After you hit lvl 50 you get reduced xp in TVHM

Yep. there are things about XP in BL2 that don't make much sense - probably the most confusing to me was why you stop earning XP at level 72 in UVHM even though the game goes up to level 80 / OP8 - there is no logical explanation and it just seems like a shortcoming in game design.

No, that was the game design to make sure that enemies got stronger while you didn't (besides equipments, of course).

It's all a matter of opinion cause in reality you DO get stronger via higher level arms. To me, it was a cheap marketing stunt by GBX to highlight the cartoon of bazillions of guns but actually makes no sense. If you LITERALLY couldn't level up in strength from 72 to 80, there's no way you could survive much past 74 based on the first 72 levels of gameplay in BL2 and all levels of gameplay in BL1. Other people complain about Anthony Burch's mistakes in game design for different reasons, but to me his never having played BL1 shows up as a flaw in his design of the final 8 levels in BL2. Just my opinion.
