[Gameplay] Multiplayer Arcade Experience out-of-sync

[Roemer]

It seems that the host of a multiplayer arcade game always gets more XP than the other players. Possibly only the host gets experience when doing challenges? Didn't happen before the last patch.

Very weird! Is this consistent for you? If so, what kind of spells do you use?

 

[Roemer]

Yes, pretty much. Happens with 2 or 3 players and also when I host or when a friend hosts.
Using Insect Swarm, Cloud, Protect and/or Haste. Protect and/or Haste are only skilled by one member.

Today we with 1 friend used similiar skills - Chain Lightning, and get desynced in experience, seems to me its started from fishing room, when I caught 3 items, when friend only 2

I can vouch for this, had this happen on a run. The host had an entire half a level on me after a long Gigaslime fight.

It seems Gigaslime, Jumpking and Sentry summons all award EXP and drops in multiplayer? Sentry seems to award them in singleplayer as well. But maybe the host gets more, or... I don't know.
