That, my friend, is one of the greater mysteries of this game.

Looks like a base rush!

[MagicM0E]

Looks like you were 'capped' Grazly, meaning your opponents captured your base. However, as you were the only pilot to score a kill you gained more XP than any body else, meaning you're at the top of the scoreboard.

Other than that, is there something specific you don't understand?


Edit... OK just looked at the numbers... it says you only got 370XP (without the premium bonus) so not sure where you got the extra 200XP from

Doesn't make sense. If it was a base rush the other team would have more XP gained overall (the other team earned the 100xp "loss" xp). I've seen this happen a couple times, but only when the match ends by time limit, and we get the "loss" xp and money gains and the other team gets nothing.


More edits: also, if you sum up his xp gains it doesn't equal what the scoreboard said, so either he didn't get the proper xp, or else he did and the summary on the right was wrong



Another edit: and as a musing. I'm guessing both teams capped simultaneously, and the win went to his team for having the lone kill. But this game has a terrible habit of rewarding ties (I've seen it happen once) so it just gives both teams a defeat and the XP gains make no sense.

you went right, they went left. they got to your base first, and one person made a wrong turn at cookamunga

What about this screenshot do you not understand?

The rankings of the players? It is ordered by XP earned.
You get XP for kills / assists, component destruction and contributing towards the cap.

Looks like you won and lost at the same time. Plus if the other team had base rushed they would have gotten more then 100 exp. I would submit a ticked since that looks like a bug.

[Elizander]

If I only gained that much XP each time I lost...

[Davoren]

Again guys, this was not a base rush. Our scouts killed one 'Mech, and then time ran out. At no point during this match did anyone jump onto base for cap. And as others have said, you can see proof of this through the experience gains of blue team versus red team. I've seen it a few times, though under the same circumstances.

[Grazly]

No. This was a stand off. The blue is my team. We SHOULD have won based on the fact that we killed one of their's. They did not cap us. Hell, they never left the top of their hill in front of their base.

Time out?

From what I read both teams lose in the event of a time out.

Look at what it says I got, and what I actually got. I was shorted 70ish xp

[Joseph Mallan]

You got a kill the winning team had none, Score board ranks on EXP not damage done?

[Grazly]

So, no more draws?

[EdSurly]

It looks to me like you won the match. I think as far as all the XP earned goes, your team did win the match. It's just that the text is wrong....

[Ronin13m]

Yep and you got the exp for a win but not the payout or the victory condition.

[Bosie]

I blame Macromage, 100% his fault.

I was the one that got the only kill. MY team (IN BLUE) is all in the top. We SHOULD have won that match, but we got a loss. THAT is what I can not understand.

Ok, that makes sense. Both teams get a "Defeat" text but the XP is still earned by the team with the most destruction. Sort of makes sense.
