When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm)
Summarize your bug You can see that I reached rank 40 and have Misaki unlocked. I did it via the tier skip unlock for this week's ToW reward. However, my total XP is equivalent to that of rank 38, as the tier skip didn't give me any XP whatsoever (is this intentional?; at least equivalent to the current rank's total XP requirement, or to the % value to the next rank). All nodes after I unlocked the tier skip reward didn't give me ToW XP I don't believe. Note that my ToW rank was already bugged from before and just before I unlocked the reward, I was at rank 39. The tier skip unlock didn't give me any ToW XP, but it did unlock Misaki, the rank 40 reward. It must've not known what to do as I was about halfway or so through rank 39, and a tier unlock would've put me past rank 40 (i.e. at rank 40 + several tens of thousands of ToW XP).
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Reach rank 39 ToW. Get about halfway through that rank (next reward should be Misaki and the Sai melee weapon should already be unlocked at this point). Finish this week's ToW and unlock the automatic tier unlock reward.
What happens when the bug occurs? You will not get any ToW XP for the tier unlock, and only get Misaki.
What should be happening instead? You should receive the equivalent ToW XP value. If you're already rank 39, it should put you at rank 40 by giving you the remainder ToW XP.

You can see that I reached rank 40 and have Misaki unlocked. I did it via the tier skip unlock for this week's ToW reward. However, my total XP is equivalent to that of rank 38, as the tier skip didn't give me any XP whatsoever (is this intentional?; at least equivalent to the current rank's total XP requirement, or to the % value to the next rank). All nodes after I unlocked the tier skip reward didn't give me ToW XP I don't believe.

  • Yeah, this has been occurring since the first time they introduced a Tier skipping, and has been causing problems ever since, especially for acquiring the Gold Dog Tag.
    You get the rank, but not the experience needed for reaching said rank, so it is very misleading.

    Chapter 5, I was rank 40, and thought I had the Gold Dog Tag for reaching said rank(since that is what the game tells you, "Reach rank 40 for Gold Dog Tag" on the loading/splash screen), stopping playing as much as I could of, just to discover at the last minute, that I still needed like 680k more experience or something like that, to have enough experience to be rewarded the Gold Dog Tag, it was brutal to find enough time to play to finally have enough experience, but was able to do so with minutes to spare before the Chapter ended.

    Another good detailed report. 

    We had several topics about this with Chapter V where people bought a booster pack. 

    So good to know and thanks for warning me.

    We are one month further and I think this is intentional. 

    Reaching level 34, have all unlocked and then fight yourself to the gold dogtag. 

    So the dogtag is not attached to any level. 

  • Hey @SterlingARCH3R  as far I'm aware this is working as intended, to get the gold dogtatg is to play the game. 

    Levels is not equal same as the XP on the dogtag.
