Infinite Hotel and Cosmic Color Weirdness Discussion

[Zimgod]

The green flames that increase exp gain may be either having a double disable effect upon leaving a zone, or are still having the disable activate when they haven't been activated by the player. Was exploring the hotel when my exp dropped to 1/4th then 0.

I have the talent that boosts exp gain by 10% and upon loading an earlier save before I ran into the bug I found the talent had dropped to 1%. Now upon fighting an enemy in the cosmic color, my exp gain has dropped to baseline.

Edit: might be tied to character level, hit 170 in the infinite hotel, and my gain also dropped to baseline. Don't know if this is intentional.

You are correct, exp is indeed tied to character level!

The exp formulas are very complex, but they are working as intended. Praise be!

Aw, kk it's tied to the character level. So solution is to move to new game plus if ya want any more talent points instead of spending infinity in the infinite hotel. Makes sense.

Murda!

Heyo, I'm back after awhile to check out and see how things are going.

Found out the infinite hotel exp reduction glitch is real and still there~
Run through the hotel, avoiding most fights, checked the only time I gained a level to see exp gain dropped by .01, that's expected. Then I'm going through and the exp gain starts dropping again every few rooms. From 1.5 something, to .29, then .02. No levels gained between those two drops. Something like 10 large hotel rooms passed through, no green flames picked up in said rooms.
Don't know what's causing it (still think it's the exp multiplier flames having their reduction effect trigger while not being activated when going from one hotel tile to the next).
Don't know if Tekker found this bug yet, haven't checked his bug page in a tick, sorry if this is a repeat bug report.

Edit: Nope doesn't look like Tekker's run into this one.

Murda!

So I'm pretty sure the green flames add invisible buff status effects instead of adding raw numbers directly to you, so any trigger to make them go away would just clear the effect, not lower XP gain. It's more likely xp gain is supposed to go down over time crossing distance in the hotel. Try leaving and see if your gain resets.

If anyone runs into this problem, EXP gain resets upon returning to hotel entrance, as Tekker said it would. Thanks for the fix dude, was just abandoning runs when the gain went to near 0, didn't want to save cause having a permanent bug debuf would suck.

Praise be to the Tekker!
