[BUG]Weapons skills not levelling up and found why

[Gorwald]

So i found that my weapons skill in assault rifles is not levelling anymore but i found why too

IF you have a weapon you really like equiped (like the EMC gun from episodic missions) and this weapon is maxed up in hiw own level, you won't level anymore in this kind of weapons type.

You'll have to equip another no levelled weapons to continue levelling in this weapon type, tested yesterday night and worked.

So it's quite annoying actually to have an emergency weapons with no mods and no bonus just to continue levelling the weapons type

BTW i found too than the weapon bonus when she's maxed out on herself is changing everytime....

Sometimes is bonus to crit when crouched, sometimes is bonus to close combat etc...

I to found it upsetting at first, but I find myself using all sorts of different weapons now. Yesterday for example I leveled around 5 detonators and found that I was liking a new type that I had never thought to try before. Also I am finding myself replacing my main weapons due to having better leveled stats. So its not all bad.

Um, this isnt a bug. Its a built in design to get you to buy different weapons. Everyone knows that they need to swap weapons once you've maxed your current one if you desire to continue leveling up said weapon's skill. Hell, there are some semi-large posts about how its a bug/bad design choice...

Not exactly everyone has played the alpha/beta and it isn't intuitive. This information is sorely lacking from the game's tutorial, help or intel files and for omitting information on something rudimentary such as levels in an MMO to the point where you have to search the forums for answers is fairly poor design.

I don't question the way it's implemented, but the way levelling is restricted should be explained in-game.

Though it really should be explained within the tutorial, it is indeed explained via Intel.

Intel -> Help -> Progression -> Weapon Mastery

it does say that you get experience by using a wep, not that you have to use one that you did not max

They should mention that under Intel -> Help -> Progression -> Weapon Skill also.

Anyone know if this applies to 2 different weapons with the same name?

I have an orange SMG and a Green SMG. Both with the same name. I maxed out the orange smg, switched to the blue SMG and the weapon itself would not gain XP. I used it for a few ark falls and the XP was still at 0/####. And assuming since the weapon wasn't leveling my skill wasn't. In the same time span, i got a quarter of my assault rifle XP, only using it on the flying bugs.

Ok then, thanks for the information about this total crap of design.....

What's the point to level up a weapon, like it, mod it and then "wait you have to garbage because you won't level anymore with it..."

It's really stupid and in fact SHOULD be explained first instead of having to search why they got this stupid idea....

Ok common sense tells you that when the little bar fills up its not gaining exp. So how could it gain you skill exp. You people need to stop wanting to be lead by the hand and told pont blank how things works. Before so many of these games came out with the idiot mode on them this is how you played from learning things about the game.
