[sadamrunzaustralia]

ok so a few days ago i was playing wingman and i happened to get host over americans (im australian) i did quite well won the match and got 13 kills.

but once the game was over i noticed the only experience i got was the exp i got from winning the match but none from the other kills?

can someone please explain what happened so i can try to fix please

That happens when your connection has a lag spike during the match or sometimes if your connection is just very laggy for the other players. When it gets really bad, the game thinks you're cheating(lagswitching, standby, etc.) and gives you 0 xp for your troubles. I'm not surprised that it happened with you hosting a game full of American players.

So he is punished for Epic's lack of consideration for gamers outside the USofA.

its not only that i live in chicago and ive had the same exact thing happen to me. you can cause a latency spike just by hitting your guide button and that will cause you to be flagged as a lag switcher and you will get 0 xp

Not quite. Any kind of spike, for any reason in or out of the players control, can cause the 0XP to trigger. It's got nothing to do with the fact that he doesn't live in America.

The 0XP is a great thing though, as it has definitely reduced lag switching and other network tampering done in the name of cheating. Nothing will ever completely eliminate it, but it's certainly reduced it. It can happen to an innocent person, like in this guys case, and it's happened to me three or four times as well (and I don't cheat)...but I'm completely OK with occassionally not getting XP in a game if it means that I almost never have to worry about people lagswitching. To me it's a necessary evil.

if you play with people on the other side of the world, there will always be lag, you can do nothing about it, not you, not epic, not ms, the distance is just to far

The fact he is PUT UP against people on the other side of the world through the matchmaking system, that IS something Epic can do something about.

Actually I get it quite often where I only get the win xp or none at all when I've hosted.
I never used to get host at all when we had our old livebox, but when that packed in we had a new one sent to us and I seem to get host on a daily basis now. If I get host when I'm playing on my own, my xp is generally fine at the end of a game, but not once have I had a single game where I've hosted a lobby for me and friends and got xp at the end of it if I was host for it.

[sadamrunzaustralia]

the only problem is i get 0xp evrytime i host people out of australia or new zealand and theres almost no games withh all australian and new zealenders

so in my opinion its bs

also i cnat find games in anything then wingman and horde

[that one guy]

I should not have to play with people from australia or new zealand.No offense to you kid but have you ever played on an american connection.No matter what you'll lag to the point where its almost unplayable.

[sadamrunzaustralia]

i always play on american connection

like with my friends who are from america whe were playing guardian and it was sudden death me and the other guy were having a shotgun battle on my screen i shot him point blank but on my friends screen i didnt shoot at all wtf?
