Liq Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 In today's small battle event, I noticed something strange. I scored 270 ish hull hits, spreaded on several enemy ships. When my armor was gone, I decided to try to board someone. I knew I probably wasn't going to win, because I had less crew, but still went for it in case my opponent got raked. After boarding (which I lost), I didn't see the killfeed anymore nor did I get any assists (even though im 99% sure I should have gotten some on ships that were sunk after I got captured). Is this intended to work like this, or did I discover a bug? Either way, I sent a bug report ingame aswell. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kloothommel Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 As far as I know, when you sink/get capped you lose all further progression during that battle. Logical, as your captain isn't "alive" to see the results of the action. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elite92 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) tough but fair i think Edited March 16, 2017 by elite92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesreidau Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Is it? He already earned the assists and kills through action before he was "killed". Even from a realism standpoint, I see no problem with posthumous decorations for our captains. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless things changed I was once in a shallow water port battle and held off the other team from the final tower (old system so could of been changed). Well I had only 1 killed and 2 assist when I died. But when the battle was over I had 2 kills and 6 assist. Though I did spread a lot of damage over a lot of ships at point blank range. Just cause you hit something doesn't mean you did a lot of damage and you have to do like 10-20% damage. You might not just didn't get enough damage spread out.

van der Clam Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I personally consider it a bug. The damage and kills or captures I get before I die should count. If an enemy finally sinks from damage I made while alive after I sink or get captured should count toward my score. Imagine I'm alone in a 1v4 and capture 3 ships, but the 4th one sinks me or captures me, where would those 3 ship points just disappear to? Or does the last person alive just absorb all my points?

Liq Posted March 16, 2017 Author Share Posted March 16, 2017 Also note how my name is not orange in the scoreboard, it seems like the game kind of kicked me out after I got captured and moved me to the spectators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like this either. I shouldn't be stuck watching a battle I'm no longer in for up to an hour and a half in order to get the rewards from it. When the battle is finally over, the score should be tabulated and rewards distributed to everyone, living or dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ink Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 We are planning to rework the current system - a Captain will not need to wait till the battle is over to recieve all rewards. It will be done after the battle is over regardless sunk/captured players present Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
