Not getting EXP points Borderlands2

[Kamryn]

When Im killing stuff I see my exp for it, but my exp bar isn't rising at all. dafuq.....

[Olly]

how much xp are you getting? have you checked the actual amount in the quest menu?

[Kamryn]

yea I did its not moving

[No.]

What level are you?

Have you ever edited your total XP or level, or maybe played with someone that might have used a "hack" to alter them?

If you are not at your level cap, the mission log screen should show 2 XP numbers, your current XP and the amount required to reach the next level. What are those 2 numbers, and what is your current level?

Like I said before:

I just went full stalker mode and looked at your profile. you have almost 300 hours, yet are only level 10. For how long has this experience issue been going on? And how did you go for 300 hours without noticing it? :|

[Kamryn]

One says like 39499 and the other is 49000 something. I went and killed a bunch of stuff and they shed exp points, but the numbers didn't move

Of course the OP could have other characters. :-)

That's what I thought at first, but she doesn't have level achievements above the level 10 one.

I don't know. If your level or total XP had been altered in some way, they might be out of sync, leaving a very large XP gap before you reached the next level. Then the bar wouldn't appear to be moving, just because you needed so much XP to reach that next level. But that doesn't seem to be the issue in your case.

I don't know what would keep your total XP from increasing when you got XP (eg. from kills), and you weren't at your level cap. You could try having Steam verify the game cache, just in case. 1 file seems to usually/always fail, so if that's all you get, the files are probably fine.

Umm, OK. Maybe they played a hundred different characters for a few hours each? :-)

Hah. That's indeed a possibility.

@OP: If verifying cache doesn't work, you could try using the save editor, increasing your level by one, and then using the button to match your experience points to your level. It's a shot in the dark, but programs are mysterious animals and sometimes the most random thing will fix an equally strange problem.
