XP bug - none of my gear is levelling

So just before, I was playing Destiny etc etc and I bought a new HoW Fusion Rifle - GIVE/Take, and reforged it a couple times into something I like. Seeing that I have two fusion telemetries in my inv, I decided it'd be a good idea to use one before I start getting some serious xp rolling in. So I grab some good bounties, go to orbit and gear up. Upon landing on the moon for the mission, I use my Telemetry and continue to play until my telemetry runs out. >HERE is the problem< When the first upgrade became available (a sight upgrade) I switched it over to a better sight. From then on, no xp gains where registering on my new Bad JuJu (which is half-levelled) or my Fusion Rifle (or my mote of light progress). Hoping it was a server sync error, I kept playing. Almost an hour later, I check my stuff, no good. I log out and in again; no good. Open the bungie website, still the xp is where it was at at the end of that one mission I played. None of the rest of the time I played got me any xp. Wasted time and telemetry, or connection bug? Kinda annoyed; what's the point in grinding for xp I'm not gonna get?!

  • Do the nightfall and then use telemetry and grab some 5000exp bounties and you fill them up in no time

  • It's hard to measure XP gains from killing enemies with weapons, especially with exotic guns because of how much raw XP they need per bubble. Outside of bounties and mission reward xp bonuses (completing strikes, patrol beacons, etc), weapons will only get XP applied to them by killing enemies with that specific weapon. Unlike armor, ability kills (grenades, super, melee, etc.) do not give any xp to your equipped guns. Looking at the last two story missions you played on your warlock yesterday, you had 58 kills with bad juju, and a 74 with the fusion rifle. Since you had finished those story missions before, there was no bonus XP from completing the mission. That might not have been even 2000xp towards the fusion rifle in those two missions. In the context of legendary and exotic weapons, that isn't much and the upgrade bubbles wouldn't show a lot of visual change. I have had it happen a few times when looking at the details of a piece of equipment where the XP bubbles do not show any progress, like a quarter filled circle will be empty. Exiting the details of the item and then going back in usually refreshes to the right progression level. Also, the website and mobile app do not always refresh immediately.

  • That's not the way to use telemetries, just killing things gives very little xp. The best way to use them is to do the nightfall, use it just before the boss dies, then turn in 10 completed bounties. Then do the daily or something the rest of the time
