So apparently, you can win the battle but not get a star.

I had a game where I was on shotted by a Epic(?) Mine. I only have 1751 HP.

Game ends. I have 0 damage and 0 heal. 0 star.
I just thought an automatic win gains you a star. I got the infamy though.

 

Can you go to battle log and take a picture? Maybe rovio made it so you have to do at least some damage to get a star. To stop floaters?

 

Yeah I figured it was to punish floaters. I'll try to find it.

 

Here ya go. I died less than a min the game haha

 

yes prevent from floater...

 

That's strange, you should be getting a star for winning, the only reason I know of that you wouldn't is if the system thought you were infamy tanking....

 

no you gain infamy if your team win but no star (a star for what?? 0+0=0)

 

Miika has said you get one star for winning, one star for average contribution, and one star for double the contribution
@Miika could we get some clarification on that?

 

Yeah Miika did mention that. I hope we get a clarification.

 

It was mentioned somewhere after they did the anti-seal-clubbing changes, but I forgot where. Zero contribution means zero rewards, period. That includes zero stars. It's kind of annoying if you start the match and die quickly for whatever reason, but if it discourages floaters I'm okay with it.

 

I keep harping on this, but nothing about the star system makes any sense when you see it in action. Exception after mysterious exception is all I ever here as to why it doesn't seem to work the way you would think it would.

 

I wouldn't really call this exception "mysterious". He got zero contribution, he got zero stars.

 

Also something like that happened to me doing a green zone capture, another boat and me where in the Foundry map. I was there spaming thorpedos but none hit a target, then somebody shot at me and made me go out of the green zone, but the other teammate wasn't damaged and completed the capture. Here is the result of that battle:

See? We both got 0 damage, but @Ryoma got the star. I guess I needed to be inside the green zone when the capture completed to be awarded the star.

Anyway, the infamy was awarded but no rewards were given.

 

I have no idea why that would be....
Its possible because ryoma had yellow items the system counted that as contribution?
But no, because you were moving, and deployed torps....
We need a dev in here?

 

I'm guessing Ryoma was the one who got the capture. Remember, it's based on contribution, not damage. They aren't the same thing. It looks like only fully capturing actually counts towards your contribution. Since any interruption resets your capture amount to zero, you were basically never on the point at all.

Someone had posted a comment in another thread talking about a rush capture. A group of Speeders captured the point at the start of the game before any serious action went on, and they reportedly got 3 stars. That means that capturing alone, if you actually get it, counts as contribution for star calculation. It looks like that same thing happened here.

Edit:
By the way, why did you leave the green zone just because you got shot?

 

To block the incoming unfriend and evade the shot he made, getting away of his red target, I made my move towards him. Seems I move a little too much and went off the green zone edge.

 

I guess it's Rovio's new way to deal with floaters.
