The 20% Chapter XP Boost doesn't apply to the ToW Dog Tag progression

Product: Battlefield V
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
Please specify your platform model. Sony PlayStation 4
Are you using any software with an overlay? No
Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Multiplayer
Which part of the mode? Breakthrough
Please select your region Europe, North America
On which server did this happen? Any
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) Tides of War Chapters 4 - 5
Summarize your bug The 20% Chapter XP Boost doesn't apply to the ToW Dog Tag progression when earning result XP points, which are then converted to Chapter XP points. /// ORIGINAL SUMMARY: I'm missing XP points for the ToW Chapter 5 Dog Tags compared to my total ToW XP points earned so far. At this moment, I have earned 676'350 Chapter XP points but only 638'662 XP points have been counted toward unlocking Gold Dog Tag. That's approx. 94.4% of the total Chapter XP points so far, and that ratio is getting worse. UPDATE: It looks like the 20% Chapter XP Bonus is not applied to the ToW Dog Tag progression when ToW XP points come from regular XP points (not ToW and/or special assignments, just regular XP points).
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Obtain the 20% experience boost, play the game and earn ToW Chapter 5 XP points. Do NOT finish any ToW assignments and/or special assignments that give Chapter XP. Earn regular XP points only, which will be converted to Chapter XP points. / 1. Check your total ToW Ch5 experience points earned so far. / 2. Check the progress for the ToW Chapter 5 Dog Tags so far. / 3. Compare the two points. They should not be the same.
What happens when the bug occurs? Missing +20% Bonus XP points towards the ToW Chapter 5 dog tag progression.
What should be happening instead? The +20% Chapter XP Boost should apply for the ToW Dog Tag progression.

‌

Currently, I'm Rank 19 in ToW Chapter 5. I've been keeping track of the XP Point requirements for each ToW Ch5 Rank, which looks like this so far: 9'300 x3, 18'700 x3, 28'000 x3, 37'300 x3, 46'700 x3, 56'000 x3, 65'300 x1 and currently 23'050/65'300. This means that I've earned a total of 676'350 XP Points so far.*

On the other hand, my current progress towards the ToW Ch5 Dog Tag (Gold) is 638'662 / 2'225'000 XP points.

Therefore, I'm missing 37'688 XP points for the dog tags, and it keeps getting worse every time I earn XP points.

I suspect that some XP points are added to the ToW Rank progression, but not the ToW Dog Tag one. However, I haven't been able to identify where the missing XP points are coming from yet. Please note that I have the 20% Chapter XP Boost active.

Please note that I have experienced a similar issue in Chapter 4.

Please investigate and/or advice.

Thanks.

Edit 1: I chose 'which part of the mode? Conquest' above but it might affect any game mode. I just had to choose one mode because the field was mandatory.

Edit 2: Updated the summary of the bug.

Edit 3: Changed the bug title. Previous title 'Missing XP points for the ToW Ch5 Dog Tags compared to my total ToW XP points'

    @AuriDUL this should have been fixed for Chapter 6 that is live now from what I have been told.

    I've done some troubleshooting.

    Test Round 1.

    Mode: Grind.

    I received 1'209 Chapter XP Points (baseline: 1'008 + 20% bonus: 201).

    • My ToW Rank progress increased by 1'209 XP points.
    • My ToW Dog Tag progress increased by 1'008 XP points.

    Test Round 2.

    Mode: Conquest.

    Received 9'832 Chapter XP Points (baseline: 8'194 + 20% bonus: 1'638).

    • My ToW Rank progress has increased by 9'832 XP points.
    • My ToW Dog Tag progress has increased by 8'194 XP points.

    Test Round 3.

    Mode: Conquest.

    Received 7'584 Chapter XP Points (baseline: 6'320 + 20% bonus: 1'264).

    • My ToW Rank progress has increased by 7'584 XP points.
    • My ToW Dog Tag progress has increased by 6'320 XP points.

    Test Round 4.

    Mode: Conquest.

    Received 10'899 Chapter XP Points (baseline: 9'083 + 20% bonus: 1'816).

    • My ToW Rank progress has increased by 10'899 XP points.
    • My ToW Dog Tag progress has increased by 9'083 XP points.

    It must be noted that all the above Chapter XP points came from regular XP. I dind't complete any ToW- and/or special-assignments in those test rounds.

    In ALL cases, the 20% Chapter XP bonus was not applied to the ToW Dog Tag progression.

    Edit 1: Added two more troubleshooting cases.

    Edit 2: Added a screenshot for reference.

    Hi @EA_Atic,

    Just want to tag you in this issue so that you are aware of it.

    I've played 10+ more matches and earned lots of Chapter XP from the regular XP. I can confirm that the 20% Chapter XP Boost (which comes from the Chapter 5 Premium Pack) does _not_ apply to the ToW Dog Tag progression.

    Given that those Dog Tags are part of the Chapter 5 rewards and they progress using Chapter XP, I would expect the 20% Chapter XP Bonus apply to their progression too.

    Thanks.

    Best regards,
    AuriDUL

    Thanks for the very in-depth detailed post! 🙂 @AuriDUL 

    I have passed this along to the team and they are taking a look. I can't promise any change to it.

    @EA_Atic, I just tested this out too and my 20% bonus XP is not added to the dog tag OR my rank. All I did for a round was complete a node worth 12,000 XP, so at the least I should have received 12,000+2,400 XP - which is what the game is telling me. But my actual score, both for my rank AND dog tag, only increased by just over 12,000 XP.

    I literally purchased the booster pack at the start of this chapter to be able to get the golden dog tag. But now at the end of the chapter I find out that I probably haven't recieved any bonus XP at all - and I'm about to miss out on the dog tag.

    Hi @EA_Atic,

    I would like to ask you if you know whether the issue [20% Chapter XP Bonus not being applied to the ToW Dog Tag progression] has been fixed in Chapter 6 (Update 6.0)?

    Thanks. 🙂

    Best regards,
