12 Fog_Cruiser_Ashigara Members 81 posts 2,417 battles Report post #1 Posted January 2, 2016 Is it just me or do some matches seem to end really early for some reason. Have played about 6 matches today that all ended really early even though half the enemy team/my team where still alive. Can anybody shed some light on this? Am I just missing something? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2,205 GhostSwordsman Members 6,622 posts 8,658 battles Report post #2 Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) Someone capped the enemies base, awarding them an instant win. Edit: It was a change made back right before release, in OBT. WG changed the standard battle mode to include domination point counters. This way if no base was captured and ships on both teams were alive at 20 min, then at least one team won and one lost, rather than having a draw. The mechanics are the same in the new 'standard battle'(labeled and known as two cap domination) as the old standard battle. Capping out the enemies base awards a win the moment it's captured. The only difference being there was a point value given to capping the base, which just so happens to be 1000 points, the total needed for either side to win.

12 Fog_Cruiser_Ashigara Members 81 posts 2,417 battles Report post #5 Posted January 2, 2016 Sorry I wasnt very clear. in domination with more then 2 zones and the point limit hasnt been reached. It's like the game decides a team sucks to bad and puts them out of their misery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's like the game decides a team sucks to bad and puts them out of their misery. In 3+ cap dom mode, you can win if you either reach reach 1000 points or cause the enemy to go below 0 points. The latter may be what happened in your case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's like the game decides a team sucks to bad and puts them out of their misery. In that case, one team lost too many ships before capturing a base, reducing their point total to 0. If your points or the enemies points reach zero, then it's game over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

12 Fog_Cruiser_Ashigara Members 81 posts 2,417 battles Report post #9 Posted January 2, 2016 After much closer examination of some replays, turns out the enemy went under 0 points. Didn't know that could happen, let alone so quickly. Once again, thank you every for the replies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
166 [5IN] Sir_Godz Members 1,371 posts 34,396 battles Report post #10 Posted January 2, 2016 It's is a game of points not kills contrary to what newish players think. Anytime a team loses on points it's more than likely because team members failed to pay attention to what is really happening in the game. If you really want to help your team and become good at this game then learn to protect caps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It can only happen quickly, if there's enough time between the sunk ships the caps can generate enough points to compensate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5,912 [CNO] Soshi_Sone Members 7,450 posts 23,087 battles Report post #12 Posted January 2, 2016 It's is a game of points not kills contrary to what newish players think. Kills add (for the team that gets the kill) and subtract (from the team that got killed) from the point totals. Amount varies based on type of ship killed. At the same time, points are added for capturing zones and for zones already captured. If a team reaches 1000, the game ends. If a team goes below 0, the game ends. If a team caps an enemy base, the game ends. If time runs out, the game ends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
