On the flip side on normal days people chase the last light instead of base capping and getting more benefit for everyone.


Oh well.

You're missing the point.

You're suggesting a high portion of Assault matches end in a base cap.

That is simply not the case.


If it were the majority, then I'd reconsider my position, but it has virtually been the total minority of Assault matches for who knows how long.

I get that people are trolling like this, but that's not the reality this game is in currently.

Even in the events that supported base capping, that was STILL THE MINORITY.

Maybe most of the time this is true...but there are also no freebies to screw anyone out of during the normal week.

As far as this weekend, so far, 50% of my Assaults games ended in a stupid cap here is sad Proof and i hate every FREAKING seconds of watching that stupid bar go down. lolz

I haven't collected any of my rewards yet.

As of this post, I have registered 17 assault matches... 16 of them I've qualified for.

So, I dunno what to tell you. It's not frequent (cap rushing). The last few of them that occurred (attempts to cap) ended up in a non-capping result (everyone died).

The one I didn't qualify for is probably because I derped and derped hard.

I don't get why people do it, regardless of whether there's an event going on.

No C-bills
No XP
No PSR increase

You get nothing.

yep.
Also I don't get why PGI gives a couple of "missions" in Assault and conquest mode, and then decides to screw up one of them (the "capping" mission) by giving it NO c-bill, NO matchscore, NO xp for it (yep.... the rewards are so low, that it's NOthing)

I really don't care if the cap turns into a good fight. I saw two last night and lost both because our team split. Still the fight was on and I qualified for the grab.

Sure sometimes people do it just to waste everyones time but your wasting your time anyways playing the game. There is nothing productive in any of this. It's entertainment. Are you not entertained?

how does cutting oneself off from 50 grab bags...and increasing MM wait times exponentially solve anything?

It's a fact...people are screwing themselves and their teams when they rush to cap from the get go.

And how is it an issue in Conquest? Best, most tactical play happens in conquest. And it takes a long time to cap out.


and when it's the noobz on your team doing the capping?

Let the noobz rush and die. Ie don't lend them any support what so ever.

Your premise is "don't cap because of the event".

You can't stop human nature.

That is your error.

It will happen, whether you'd like it or not.

I've told people to STOP CAPPING (especially when we're winning big) and they still cap.

People will be people.

Why are you trying to persuade them otherwise?

You did this

Nets nothing? I disagree. If you are tier 5 or tier 4; "noob base rush" gets you a win and increases bad players psr no matter if they barely did anything so long as they win. For tier 3 and up it does nothing. As for the event yeah doesn't get you enough points for a grab in the bag but again it does help tier 4 and 5 players.

Seems like some folks just want the enemy team to march their mech in a conga line at their 100 tons because anything else is too hard.

Try selecting a medium or light and you can g back and pick up some easy kills while defending your base.
