Was playing in a 4 man TS3 group a few minutes ago... got dropped onto Frozen City... just our lance... 4 v 8 ...

They gave us the typical "power off or die horribly" speech...

We decided... HELL NO....

We went out.. engaged .. killed a dragon and a catapult, then fell back to our base to chase away the AWS, Cicada, Atlas and 2 jenners ... lost one (me.. /sob) on the way back... killed the Atlas and one or two of the other larger mechs... (I kinda got lost in the fight there)

After killing one of the two Jenners a little later, time was running out.. so we left one mech on our base and sent two to theirs.. killing an AFK Atlas, and then the last jenner that attacked on their base.

Time ran out...

* We were like 2-3 ticks away from capping the base (considerably more than their 1/3rd capped mark) ..
* We had a score of 7-1...
* We had 3 mechs alive to their 1 (no idea who or where)

THE GAME GAVE US A DEFEAT ... even thought our side was all stacked on top with all the points, all the damage, and all the kills.

Can someone please explain what happened?

It's a rather rare occurrence, submit a screenshot and/or video to support to help the devs.

Is it possible both sides suffer defeat? Is there even a draw?

[Stoindrae]

I sent it in to the support email... mebbie they can answer it.

I didn't miss any criteria as to what would grant a win to a team .. did I? I mean .. we did have em on all counts... right?

I think I recall reading somewhere that the first team to get a kill wins in a draw match. I'm not 100% sure on that. If they got the first kill maybe?

I believe so, I've only had this happen twice, both times it was in closed beta.

There is a tie result, so it wasn't a tie. I'm guessing it's related to the fact that you only dropped with four. Obviously, something was pretty messed up, and that mismatched start may have confused the server in some way.

Yes there is.

As for the OP: I am not completely sure if the game still takes partial caps into consideration. I had a game yesterday where I was the last on our team with a orange CT CDA and the other team had an slightry scratched (yellow armor in a few parts) atlas for their last man. I went to cap and he decided to chase me and defend. I played cat and mouse with him as I clearly had no chance (that guy knew how to aim a 140kph mech with his 4 LLs) repeatedly running through their base to keep the cap going. Time ran out when the cap was 3/4 done while they did not even start their cap and the game ended draw.

Still you clearly should not have lost the match when you have 7 to 1 kills. I can only think of being just the 4 of you against 8 having something to do with it. Anyhow the post macth screen is still bugged. I still occssionally get listed in blue and with a wrong kill count when losing a match.

In most cases this happens the other side gets a defeat result as well. Ive had this happen before where you turn around the odds only to get a loss. Both sides had groups on TS and after the fight the others came to say GG only to find out we got a loss as well and were quite surprised. Indeed take a screenie and let support know. Yes they do listen and after enough reports will make something like this a higher priority on their list.

With beta you have to expect bugs.
