Why arent any wolf units getting credit for successfully defending planets. If only the attackers are going to get credit what incentive is there to be a defender?

[UnKnownPlayer]

There is no defense any more, you either successfully attack or the other team successfully attacks or no one win and it's a draw. Each game adds towards the victory counter so a siege defense win still helps you move the bar towards win.

People care about tags?

The current event will only be ties until the final day. (today)

Otherwise tagging will work as normal when you win a phase, but there is no defense anymore as in FP phase 2.

I didn't t believe there has been ant tags for defending since FP4.1

Otherwise each cycle planets would change and that hasn't been happening that I've noticed in the last 12 months.

Ash yes I know what you are talking about they took out the defense tags when they implemented planet voting and one queue. But for an event like this where there is no voting and the planets are fixed assets defense tags should be assigned. And if we are to believe this is the FP of the future they may want to address this now.

[justcallme A S H]

Defense wins were totally flawed though.

All you had to do was drop no more than a single game and win, to get the defend tag/planet/MC. Extremely broken.

Didn't matter this time anyways, wolfies became pelts. My carpet has never been softer.

You better have a hunting license for all those pelts mister....

Lol at anyone thinking any of this matters Summer 2018

Go get you some tags!

[ApexSun]

Whether receiving tags does matter or should matter is irrelevant. As hard as I fought to prevent another protectorate from forming, Clan Wolf units had the capture bar pegged at the end of the third day of the last event and should receive the same award that R79T and CWM received for their victories on the 1st and final days of the battle. Without there being even this smallest bit of incentive you can bet that most organized units in the game will play as the Attacker in this weekends event and it's just going to be a pugstomp + a few supergroup teams on the defender side.

I care for tags, and the MC revenue that should accompany it. MS periodically does unit events with MC handouts and our hard fought and won planets should give us due credit, in more ways than one. It is good for unit morale/recruitment/sustainability.

Where are the defensive planet tags? Phases 2 and 3 if you successfully defended a planet, you could get a planet tag. Not one planet on the I.S. side of the border has a planet tag.

Is this a mistake on PGI's part or is it just another thing we had to give up for our bukkits?

defense tags in the old system made no sense because you could drop 1 single defense match on a planet and get the tag for it. But in these type of events where numerous engagements are occurring the ability to game the system for tags is impossible.

thats why defense tags were removed because they could easily be gamed.....now in this event style scenario the ability to game the system becomes a moot point

except it didn't work that way. We won the defense, but as we were defending there was no tags awarded at the end of the cycle. We are aware of no defense tags usually, but for an event where you are all locked in a single struggle over one planet, what is the incentive, weak or not, to play as defenders?

If a tag can be awarded to one side or another during normal FP then I can't see why the same reasoning cant be applied to the events even if the planet is actually currently owned by a faction. It's just an arbitrary attribute and not some kind of complicated game mechanic.
