Event 4 Reward Requirements and Tips - Capture the Zone!

I have a feeling the Mortars, Mines, and Torps are going to be great weapons on this round.

Thanks Devs, I like the new game dynamic of capture, kill, or lose.

Thanks also for switching out of the ticket system this round. I'm travelling this weekend and may not make the cut, but I appreciate you are looking out for those of us with specific time constraints.

 

I like the extra coins for capture, but I'm still dismayed that a deathmatch event is not rewarded more by kill/death ratio than by damage. Look...you are guaranteed a win if your team's K/D ratio > 1. You are not guaranteed a win if your team's damage > the other team's damage. That's how deathmatch works. Any other rewards system is missing the point.

Yes there has to be adjustment for Fixers, but individual rewards should be related to K/D ratio more so than damage.

 

What do you mean by "Spending 900 coins could result in: 1 Legendary perk, 2x Epic perks, 1x Rare perk, 3x Uncommon perks. You could swap 1 Epic perk for 3x Rare perks if you want."? Does that mean that the legendary box doesn't guarantee a legendary perk?

 

You have to spend 900 coins on the other perks to qualify for the Legendary perk. Important note though: coins will carry over to the next event, but progress toward the Legendary perk (via spending) will not carry over... it will reset to 0/900. See https://forum.battlebay.net/threads/cap-or-kill.20198/

 

I like this new system. As coins are carried over to the next event, it means more casual players can, over multiple events, attain a legendary perk by saving up. Previously you had to grind like a madman to get a legendary.

Also, another tip, don't capture solo, on maps where the capture is wide open eg. destruct 9, crude awakenings

 

MINES ARE SO OP FOR THIS EVENT!

 

Some tips I wanted to add for this event:
1. Always go to capture zone at start. In some matches the other team couldn't get there quick enough to stop us from an easy 30 second cap.
2. Napalm is way better than Fire Bomb because of the map control. It will also hide your team's torpedo usage.
3. HP is everything. No one should be using bandage on any ship

Here are my stats for this event, will support them with some screenshots of match history:
Total games played: 151 (4 Shooter) (147 Defender)
Draws: 22
Loses: 30
Wins: 99
I played enough to get the legendary perk with (2 epic and 2 rare chests). I set a personal record for my longest win streak at 13. If tie's didn't count against the streak I would have had 26.


My strategy? Get to the Cap area and stay up front. My setup for this was 15k hp defender and run 1 basic cannon, 2 blast cannons. Basically my goal was to draw fire and do point blank damage to the lowest hp target in range. My targeting order was 1. Fixer 2. Shooter 3. Defender 4. Enforcer 5. Speeder.

What I noticed is speeders just couldn't do enough damage with 2 weapon slots and most of the time they would kill themselves anyway from mines or running into torps. So I basically just ignored them altogether. Mainly tried to damage shooters as much as I could while traversing the cap area or behind a barrier close by.
