23 [DNGR] Matthewl419 Members 491 posts 20,694 battles Report post #1 Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) I would like to point out that if you have a cruiser in range of the last guy (when it is a CV), and he asks you to stop capping so he can kill the CV, STOP CAPPING!!!! This happened to me my last game, got the CV down to half hp, but they didn't stop capping... and pretty much said to go **** myself.

1,322 [-K-] Special_Kay Beta Testers 5,660 posts 19,594 battles Report post #3 Posted April 23, 2016 You still got half the XP from shelling that CV that you could have. If they left cap, they get no part of the (bigger) amount of XP they would have for capping. So no, holding up 23 other players' ships and probably 10-18 people themselves so you can get a portion of the XP someone else gives up for you, you're not entitled to that.

Considering how i got 384 xp (BB, DD and CA burned me early on) yeah, it would have been nice... However, I would have gotten out of the cap had someone asked me to do what I was asking them to.

If to get a good score you need to kill the last guy, then you clearly need to look at what else you could've done in the course of that game 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Instead you run here to say "Hey everyone look at me, I'm mad because the didn't do what I wanted". You win a pacifier...lol 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just like getting the 5th kill for a kraken, you can ask, but no one has to give it to you nor should they be expected to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

15 ofi123 Beta Testers 139 posts 13,838 battles Report post #13 Posted April 23, 2016 Give up a split cap ribbon with a few other allies just for 1 or few allies to kill that last (few) remaining ships? Would only do if the team is on a warpath to leave non-alive! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

221 DelroyMonjo Members 1,116 posts 10,974 battles Report post #16 Posted April 23, 2016 Get over it. I've been in some games where only 2 ships on each side were killed and the game somehow ended because all the caps were owned by 1 side. Rare but it's happened.

This happened to me my last game, got the CV down to half hp, but they didn't stop capping... and pretty much said to go **** myself. I wouldn't have told you to go (bleep) yourself, but I would have said no. You're selfishly asking someone else to give up their additional XP and credits so that YOU can get additional XP and credits, as well as extend the battle unnecessarily. And not that it's an issue now, but before domination points were added to standard mode, doing what you asked would have greatly increased the chances of a draw, because if your team gets off can as the clock is getting low, and the CV hunter happens to get killed before finishing off the last ship, back then you'd end up with a draw. And this was why there were so many draws, because far too many people just cannot get it thru their thick skulls that winning is more important than chasing down that last ship (or tank in WoT).

This isn't particularly common, but it's not all that rare either. If your team doesn't have many DD's or its DD's are IJN ones who aren't well suited to brawling for caps and prefer to do their normal stealthy ninja stuff, you can end up in situations where no one mans up and pushes into cap areas, and the other team does. And those battles do tend to end pretty quickly. It's one of the downsides to the multi-cap domination mode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remember the capping ship or ships will take away more XP than a kill would give. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
