New here… if there is a KB article please point me but I cannot figure out:
1/ as defender, if I just get X kills does it matter? the attackers get to slowely get the control points… when do we in defense win? if I kill 10 or 50 how does that impact when the Defense wins?
2/ as attacker, any reason to play safe and not die? what do I loose if I am aggressive and just die and than re spawn? do we loose points and have limited team spawn points?
Hi, welcome to the forum. hope you have a pleasant experience. let me answer you.
it does matter. defender win when the attacker run out of respawn ticket. the more you kill the more they loose ticket.
nah, it’s not that worth it to play safe and not die. There’s no punishment for dying (except you’ll lose some respawn ticket when you spawn). So do play aggresive.
also there’s a rumor that the longer you live in one squad, the less xp you’ll get, it’s to prevent camping. but i can’t confirm this tho.
depends on what mode but playing the objective, IE staying around cap points, is usually how games are won
In invasion/defense, all your kills count, because you must deprive the enemy of their 1000 lives (plus those extra they get when they capture each point), besides defending the objectives of course.
In invasion/attack, kills count less, because the defender does not have a fixed number of lives. Of course you must not waste your soldiers lives without reason (because of the fixed 1000+ lives your team has), but nonetheless you have to attack with decision, because staying safe and just shooting and making kills will never give you the victory. In my last battle I lost 19 squads (so about 100-110 soldiers), nonetheless we won, because we got all objectives.
It’s a grindy game, so to progress you need campaign XP, that starts with BASE XP.
Kills made at/in the objective earn more than kills made outside the objective.
So PLAY THE OBJECTIVE. After 100 hours or so all the other details will become clear.
XP for engineer needs a massive buff. I built an AA gun and shot down 2 planes in less than a minute giving our team fits. Got less than 1k XP for that. Insane
If it was 1000 BASE XP, that’s great for less than a minute. Depending on whether you own premium time, whether it was a victory or defeat and if you had multiple Battle Hero Awards…that 1000 Base XP
might become. 1000 + 1000 x1.5 x 1.2 = 3,600 Campaign XP….that’s fantastic for less than a minute.
Average that much BASE XP over a 20 minute and that’s over 70,000 Campaign XP earned.
Thanks! perfect answer… learned a lot.
