XP for practice on the "legendary" level

Post by Bornhoffer »

I have nice bunch of violet ,"legendary" medallions, which I cherish very much. Doing "hard practice" with these, has until now been awarded with 40XP, with up to 5XP in bonus. Yesterday, however, that went down to 20+5XP on my phone. My husband, on the others side, still got 45 points for practicing his "legendary" lessons. I hoped things would change back to normal overnight, but I still only receive a maximum of 25XP for these.

Does anyone know what is going on? What are your own experiences?

Same here. Only 25 pts max and used to be 45 pts max. Still doubles while in XP boost. Very frustrating.

If some get it and others don't then most likely an A/B test and if not that then something they are rolling out to everyone in batches
Quite what behaviour or effect they might be testing is known only to Duolingo. Equally other things they've trialled sometimes they've gone back to how things were and sometimes they've become the norm for everyone.

Duolingo is forever testing and changing - don't get too attached to any feature or behaviour because it may not always be like that

This is my experience, too. The only thing that seems to be reliable is that the platform keeps changing all the time.

I also didn't get it. In the morning before I go anywhere, I usually do a story on the web and a restore on the android app (My restores are worth 38+5 xp and the stories are above 7 xp, so I reach my daily goal). However, this morning, after I did a story and a restore (the story was about 24 xp), I noticed that I hadn't reached my daily goal. My father, who's on an ios, has always gotten 20+5 xp tho

I'm as dry as a mouse.

And on the web you still only get 10 XP with no bonuses for practice, legendary or otherwise. Is it to steer people towards the apps? I can't see another reason why there would be such a discrepancy. I don't really care that much about XP, which is why I'm sticking with the web version. I prefer the full-size keyboard on my laptop for typing.

It's even worse today. On my android, I only got 10+5 xp. If I get basically the same as the web, I'm doing it on the web and not the app.

Same here. I get the same points both on the web version and on my phone. But I actually don't think that's a bad thing. What's more, I think that's how it always should have been for everyone.

I get 40XP for legendary on the web. 10 XP for normal practice. 10+ 5 or less for crown lessons.

Yes, I get the same: 40 for completing a legendary exercise, but once it's purple, I only get 10XP for practising that skill or for repairing the cracked skill.

No, just the 10. Same as for any other practice.

The android app currently seems to count as follows

  • 15 for a lesson without errors
  • 25 for upleveling (i.e. the extra lesson with "hardest" exercises that is not in the browser) without errors
  • 15 for practising a normal (not broken) golden skill without errors
  • 20 for "regular practice" of a normal (not broken) legendary skill without errors
  • 25 for "hard practice" of a normal (not broken) legendary skill without errors
  • 30 for practising a broken golden or legendary skill without errors

The last one does not duplicate with that "xp boost" anymore while the first two definitely too, and I'm not sure about the others.

Mods,

Could we move this (and future similar posts) to Announcements, and Sticky it so people can easily find what the current scoring schedules are?

How do you know the information is correct ?

On Aug 7, I did a cracked skill practice for the skill 6.18 In Town. The lesson complete screen said 30 XP, but in Duome and Duo for schools I was awarded 50 XP. Since weekly XP totals match what is in Duo for schools and Duome, you have to go by that. So I assert that practice of cracked skills is doubled, in the approximate way that XP for cracked skills are doubled. In the pre-summer scoring system, 27xp cracked skill was worth 41 XP.

We don't know if the person who created that list just accepted the XP that Duo told them on the lesson complete screen, or whether they checked each result with actual awards in Duome and Duo for schools

All summer Duo has had problems with the XP on the lesson complete screen not matching Duome and Duo for schools. I've filed umpteen different bug reports about it, they make a change, and they screw something else up.

Today I did a cracked skill for the lesson 7.28 Abroad 2 during a fifteen minute timer. They fixed the lesson complete screen, it now says 50xp, which now matches Duo for schools and Duome.

As a check, I've done no legendary lessons for this skill, so how could I obtain 50 XP on it unless it was cracked & XP doubled ?

It seems the more I 'break their feet' about these problems, the quicker they fix them.

maybe i'm missing something, but what good is a bunch of XP anyway? What can you do with it? Unlike lingots, which you need to pay for legendary.

That's partly why I've gone private with my profile. I kept feeling cheated. Much happier now, learning rather than competing :)
