AA experience "loss" on zone

[BWStripes]

Hi,

Noticed an odd problem (at least 3 people) confirmed that AA exp decreased when zoning, porting or gating. It only does it once, and any exp kill (with AA enabled) makes it jump back to normal....we think.

I haven't yet checked wether it saves the lowered exp on logoff/logon.

Edit: Forgot to mention - all 3 of us are running vanilla titanium.

I cannot remember if there is a gm command to show current AA exp points. I am pretty sure there is a # that appears on your screen when you gain XP. Maybe you can take a before/after then after-kill total to check it out.

The only thing I can imagine that might take that away (even temporarily) is if the new AA xp was not written out properly before zoning... but then, it shouldn't snap back to expected value after a single kill either. Interesting.

Sounds more like the UI probably resets on zoning and the packet containing the current aaexp levels isn't being updated... as a result when you zone in, the client assumes 0 aa xp since no info was supplied, then when you kill something it sends it to the server, which updates the total (including the real level of aa xp) and sends it back, giving the first update and thus a huge jump in aa xp back to where it was...

At least that's my guess, not exactly sure where xp and aaxp info is stored but i'd imagine it was server side.
