Psych Profile?

But i can get 0... as it stands i always get some XP... a penalty could prevent that.

Nope.

This is how it works:
You get a certain amount of xp during your game (depending on how you do). We'll say you get 500xp every single game. Exactly 500xp.
With a Psych Profile, you get bonus xp each match. The bonus xp is added to your 500xp at the end of each game.
So you can do really well in one game and get 1000 bonus xp from your Psych Profile. That will be added to your 500 for a total of 1500xp at the end of the game.
Maybe the next game you do poorly. You don't get any bonus xp, but you still get your 500xp.

The penalty for the Psych Profile ONLY affects the BONUS xp that the profile would be giving you anyway.

Oh really? I total misunderstood how they worked then... That's cool... I'll havta take another look at them. I guess I'm gonna keep struggling to earn xp if I don't take the free xp the game offers... haha

And when you start gaining xp from them, when you look at your Feat progress for that Psych Profile, you'll notice that you'll have more progress than you have gotten in after-match bonus xp. That's because the Feats don't take into account the penalty xp from the Psych Profile since it updates mid-game. Or at least counts it up mid-game.

For example: You have Sadistic on. You'll get bonus xp for hurting ppl and xp penalty for them killing you if you've damaged them. For example's sake, lets assume you get 100xp for hurting them and -200xp for dying.
So in the first game you start using this Profile, you'll obviously have no progress in this feat. Lets say you hurt 5 ppl for a total of 500 bonus xp, but die 4 times after hurting them for a total of -800xp. At the end of the match, you'll get +0 Bonus xp.
However, if you look at the Feat progress, you'll see that you have 500xp attributed to you. That's because it'll update as you accrue the bonus xp, and it won't take away from your progress with the penalties.

At least it was doing that before the patch. I'm not sure if they fixed it.
