    Hate the event. The strategies of the players playing events would get a negative IQ score for their owner.For THIS specific event.

    I like the event for the most part ... (other than not scaling coin rewards).

    The biggest issue I have is with players flag guarding.

    First off, it doesn't work with just one person guarding the flag. It takes 3-4 .. and those matches are absolutely mind numbing.


    Just stappphh.


    A 2 minute loss pays out more coins per minute than a 6 minute win (even though most of those are ending in draws).

    Maths*....
    2 minute win = 10 coins = 5 coins per minute
    2 minute loss = 5 coins = 2.5 coins per minute
    -vs-
    6 minute win = 10 coins = 1.6 coins per minute
    (or more likely ...)
    6 minute draw = 5 coins = .83 coins per minute


    Moral of the story: Stop playing defense ... you should either be carrying the flag or killing their flag carrier .. escorting your carrier or flag guarding is only extending the time of your games and killing your rewards.



    *actual rewards per minute are probably lower than the examples if you're not getting bonus points for dealing damage to the flag carrier or returning flags

    Oh .. I would change the matches to 4 minute matches with an extra minute for overtime.. 6 minute matches are way too long.

    What frustrating for me is the defending on the ice stage. Players are defending from deep within their own spawn points. That severely restricts the amount of time you can shoot an enemy.
    If they just move to the either of the two gaps, they’ll have much more time to spot attackers, have at least a chance of protecting their flag carrier, as well as being able to defend.
    If you’re defending without being able to see the main battle field, that leaves your attackers facing greater odds as the enemy will be able to focus on them more.

    Flame combos destroy enemy ships way too quick. I've had countless matches where the score is 0 - 0 because no one, and I mean no one, can live long enough to bring an enemy flag to their base. And that goes for both sides.

    @Flipscuba @SupremeCalamitas Please can we avoid insulting the intelligence of other players.
    They may frustrate us, and we may struggle to understand some of their decisions, but insulting them isnt constructive.
    Criticise the play, not the player.

    Most likely the players or play style most everyone here makes fun or critiques....they aren't in this forum. So it's the choir singing to the choir.
    With that in mind. Letting off a little steam and calling something/someone stupid isn't a bad thing. It's a human reaction. And this probably won't be anything more than some internet tough guy/gal talk.

    Lol.

    As for the ctf event. Play it quick. Play it fast. I find 2 by 2 is the perfect balance for a team. 2 attackers 2 mid level defenders. The defenders shouldn't be right on the flag... they should go forward enough to be useful for when the attackers return and are getting harassed. Many times mid way is when I want to pass the flag to a full health teammate. So... Be "Smart" joke. And pay attention at all times to moving flags.

    The more I play this event, the more I agree with this advice.
    Play quick, attack, get game over quick.
    I'm finding more and more teams with 3 defenders. It only guarantees a long game and low coins per minute .

    Yup, started just going for damage now. The occasional flag carry and return, but focussing on doing as much damage as I can - edit - I'm averaging about 20-25k per match. Not bad for 3 weapons!

    God I am LAUGHING at these "just grab the flag if you're a Defender" idiots when I'm getting worn down by a god damn enfo and fixer working together. You people need to uninstall if you think that's something that works.

    If you saw a Defender successfully capture a flag, then that Defender was playing against flying monkeys who don't have the good sense to focus the guy carrying the flag. Which is entirely possible, I have been teamed with similar monkeys a whole bunch. Unfortunately for ME, I keep getting matched up with actual humans who have the most basic of common sense when playing capture the flag. So your anti-monkey "just go grab the flag" advice really just isn't valid.

    Oh my god OF COURSE I say that and then literally my next god damn game, it's like I'm invisible and capture the flag twice. Gee shucks my point is still 99.9999999999% correct.

    Case in point. And yes I agree it's rare that it happens, but it does happen.
    I was just blasting anything that moved, going for the flag and generally distracting, and our Defender captured twice.
