Capture points system

[noons]

The current system sees all players who are there at the end of the cap get the points. Is this a new feature or something that is not worth worrying about?

Its certainly helping those involved in the cap rank up faster than usual and gets the PB focused on capping.

I think first person in (or longest time on cap) should get 20, everyone else 5, just like the old way.

Everyone who is there at the end gets the points. Same for defenders uncapping.

I don't care, anymore, because I don't need the points.

And allowing noobs to rank up faster (much faster) may well be a good thing.

However:

I was defending a depot (inside)

Attacker came in

Went into the next room and killed him

Got 13 points for the killing

Got twenty points for the 1% back that the attacker had managed to cap.

Maybe it would be too difficult/time-consuming, but I think it would be better if you received the % of the total that you contributed to. So, 10% of 20 (2 points) for less than a 10% recap?

The same could apply for multiple people on a cap ... If you are only there for the last 10%, then you only get 10% of the total possible points?

Noobs would often ask: "What is the fast way to rank up?" and - while we'd all have our own little favourite - the answer was always "kill stuff".

Now the answer is, guard a depot (in a busy town).

Like I say, I don't care really ... but this feels like back to the (very) old days, where we got points simply for not-dying for ten minutes.

Cheers.
