XP Boost Calculation

So, I am trying to understand the reasoning here. Players are complaining that they are not getting the advertised XP boost during an event and that it is misleading.

For example, when the Chopping Trees event is running, it says for the next 12 minutes you will earn 120% bonus XP.

However it appears that this bonus only applies to the final hit of the tree, not the hits leading up to the final hit, based on my math.

So why do Rested XP and XP Gain Modifiers apply to all hits, but the XP Event Bonus only applies to the final hit?

And if this is the expected behavior, shouldn't the notice be more clear about what you are getting bonus XP on then?

I see that the event is called "TreeHitFinal", so I assume this is intended. I am not really saying this is a bug, nor is it really a feature request, but I am getting feedback from my players that it should be more clear on what the payout is.

Personally, I think it should apply to all hits like the other XP bonuses do. But I am curious to hear what your thoughts/reasoning are for the way it is.

Cant really remember the reason behind it.

Ive added TreeHit, SkinHit and NodeHit to the next release though, and updated the lang titles.

I appreciate the response and change. Any eta on when to expect the next update? Just so I know when to follow-up? Thanks!

Probably closer to force wipe.
