There is a hidden universal pool cap at 200000 xp. And it is nowhere in the update notes. So all my friends at once lost xp that exceeds 200000.
Someone lost 300000 xp and someone lost 1500000 xp.
Investigate it, please, and bring XP back.

I'm losing XP on every match that I play because the limit will not allow any more XP to be added.
Additionally, having to spend meteor credits to convert universal XP into free XP is absolute porpoise hork.
Free XP is misleading. Swindler XP is more accurate.

Earlier you could use universal XP to pump some mechs. Normal XP had to be converted with MC to universal XP. Thats how it was.
Now i have millions of regular XP and 200000 Universal XP capped. But i must now convert the universal XP too with real Money. Wtf _ Did i miss something.
Whats the point of the universal XP anyway _ I can only use it when converting it to MECH XP with Cash.
so i have now 3 different sort of XP.
- regular XP
- universal xp
- usable transfer XP
first two are useless. so whats the point _

So, when we revamped this system, we wanted to make the system easier to use by removing unnecessary steps. First, we started with removing the need to transfer experience off of the mech, and instead made all of this experience automatically transfer into the Universal XP pool. This simply shifts where the pay wall is, having the player pay to move the UXP to the mech, rather than off of a mech, eliminating a needless extra step.
The old UxpPool use to house all of the experience already paid for (IE, this experience was able to be transferred onto mechs without a cost. This new UxpPool holds all of the experience gained (that has not been paid for) and can be transfered onto mechs by using MC.
So what happend to the old UxpPool's Experience_ All of the experience which had already been paid for in the old Universal XP pool was transferred into the "Free XP" pool. We did this to make sure that players who had already purchased (spent meteor credits) to get this XP off of mechs and into the pool would remain without a cost. The FreeXP pool has no limit to the amount of experience a player can store in it.
Now, all of the old XP that was sitting on mechs before (that was not paid for with MC to convert to the old UxpPool) was transferred to the UxpPool. However, since the new UxpPool has a set limit (200,000 XP) any old XP that was not paid for to move off of these mechs over the 200k xp mark was forfeit.
So, why is there a cap to the UxpPool_ Well to put it simply we want to promote this system and encourage players to use the extra XP they earn to help level their other mechs faster. Having a cap (limit) where XP over time begins to be lost encourages players to free up room in the UxpPool so that XP is not lost.
So there it is,
TL;DR
We removed the step of paying to move the XP off of the mech completely and XP earned past the mechs cap is automatically stored in the Universal XP pool. You now pay to move experience from the Universal XP pool directly to mechs, instead of off of them.
If you paid for or had XP sitting in the universal XP pool in the past, that experience is now in the "Free XP" pool and can be transferred onto any mech for free.
All extra XP that was not paid for (sitting idly on mechs) was transferred to the Universal XP pool. However, if you had over 200,000XP that exceeds the cap and was forfeit.

As it is now it looks like it was done intentionally to get rid of potential big universal XP pools. And disappoint players that where about to promote their new mechs from zero to max rank at once. (and pay you large sums for transfer)

If you allow uncapped universal XP pools -
2.1. players do not need to track and worry about it(universal XP pool) status.
2.2. unlimited universal XP pools for players cost you nothing.
2.3. players can transfer larger XP sums from unlimited universal XP pools at once, and pay more real money for this large XP transfers.
2.4. no players frustrations of loosing potential XP for may be several new mechs, they are about to buy, when they forget about their universal XP pools capped status.

I've been playing since Beta and took a break for a few months. Just logged in, played 1 match, lost 150k XP.
Not happy.

So all of my mechs (of which I own 2 each except G2-Assault/Raider, Grenadier, and Vanguard) are fully leveled and I am max'ed out at 200k and losing XP every game (except for a hitsload of Techs that I never plan to level up). I'm really enjoying this.
Sorry about necro'ing this thread.
