I just did a level 26 mission, where i go in and kill 7 groups of level 26 qularr, out in the desert, i got 3750 xp. It was called warehouse 51.
I did several the other at 18-20 on the last couple days of closed beta that were only worth 2300, so when i did similar ones in live that got me 10k ish, i was very pleased. Those were all in Millennium City though, so not sure if maybe it got the once over and the ones in the desert did not. Just got done doing several that Socrates mailed me about while i was in Canada doing missions, and they were all level 21-24 and not one was worth lower than 12k, so this 3750 is definitely off.

If any devs read this, or forum guys anyway, could you reply with whether this should be submitted in game as a bug or not? I know they have tons so would rather not if this is either intentional, or an already known issue.

Agreed, they need to increase the xp of popup missions by 3 to 4 times. I really love the feature, but right now, its not worth my time to do any of them. It would also help fill in holes in content if people could wait around a couple minutes and keep getting fed these quests.

Agreed. These random missions are some of the most fun in the game, but just does not seem worth it with the current reward.

I'd be all for having them award less experience then the static quests, since they are unlimited, tend to contain more mobs, and (I think at least) scale with group size. But they should not award this much less.

It would also help if those missions were not always sending you as far as possible from your position. It is almost comical having somebody coming to you saying 'look, there is something fishy in that warehouse over here' while pointing at some warehouse at the other end of the city.

I have had plenty that were worth the right amount lately. It seems to me they are working on it, and not all of them got adjusted yet. Most of the ones i have done were like i said, 12k or so, little lower in the high teens. IT was just the one in the first post specifically, that was way too low compared the others around that level.

And i definitely hear ya on that far as possible thing. It isnt quite 100% of the time, but i have certainly had my fair share of them all the way across MC from me. Most of the time i end up changing maps just for a free teleport part way there, especially if i'm up near city hall or down by the battle of detroit museum, and it pops up down by the docks on the southwest corner. Quick map change and im halfway there. =)

Just did another one in the desert, maybe these are all too low. The one i just did was level 26, called Digging Up History, was only worth 3750 xp.
