I played a 20minute match sitting with my Shaft (lol sounds dirtier than I ment) I had 36 kills, no deaths and about 398 point. It was a CTF match and ended up 0-0, but despite me being 3 times on nearly ever highscore, the leader of the reds got higher crystals with 90points 8kills and 32deaths ... Why was that??

Idk why... Not so long ago, I finished a CTF battle with 0-0 flags at the top of my team's leaderboard and got none of the fund... It was distributed randomly amongst the players! Should've got a screen... shows that the formula can be glitchy.

Maybe you should have tried capturing the flag a few times not just "sitting with your shaft"? It was a CTF game after all, not a TDM....

man the point is that he has higher points and should get more crys than the other guy.

As MTAOTHE said, fund is split equally between red & blue. If other reds had very low xp then top red would get nearly all reds crystal share.

think you're right

That's irrelevant. He still had the highest number of points on his team... Just a glitch, I think.

The battle fund was probably halved between the two teams, and then split. This once happened to me, my team lost by a flag, but since I had so many points compared to the rest of my team, I got more crystals than even the people who won.

The more points you have , the more crystals you got :)

MrTactics, were there other players with a similar point value to yours? (Your points [plus/minus] 50) Because if so, they would have a similar crystal reward lowering yours. The other reds must have joined recently so they would have low amount of crystals while the leader of the reds would like get it all.

I disagree it is irrelevant.  The victory condition for the game is how many flags the team has captured, not how many kills or points an individual on that team has obtained.  Reverting to TDM (or, just old fashioned DM) rules  for reward allocation in the event of a draw actively rewards players for taking a passive/defensive role and punishes those who put the team's goal first, and played proactively/aggressively to capture the flag.  If you want a criteria for settling a draw, then you'd be better off with a secondary score based on ("flags picked up" + "flags returned by a player to base") - "flags dropped" - at least that would incentivise the team outcome not personal achievement.

If you read the OP, you will see that no flags were captured during that battle. In a battle, it primarily depends on how many flags the team has captured compared to the opposition, and then it goes down to points. If you are at the top of the leaderboard at the end of a CTF on the side which captured the most flags, even if you didn't capture or return a single flag yourself, you would still receive the most crystals.

 

All of you are misunderstanding what the OP actually said. He said that he had the most points in a CTF battle with no flags captured, and so he should have got the highest reward, but he didn't. It has happened to me once before, it's a glitch. There is no explanation which can be given other than that.

Happens to me too sometimes

Clearly this is an uncommon but existing glitch, and it should probably be passed onto the developers to look into.

We won't be able to know without actually testing it or without the devs revealing the battle fund splitting method.

That's true. The devs would be able to locate the cause of such a glitch themselves eventually, though.

The only other explanation to this other than it being a glitch would be that the fund is split between the two teams first based on flags, and then split among the players of the teams, so if the score was 0-0 then on one team if the top player had 300pts, but the rest of the team had like 299pts, then he/she would get less crystals than the top player on the other team if he/she had 90 pts but the rest of that team had like 30 pts each because of the ratio from 90-30 being larger than that of 300-299.

I personally think that the latter explanation is true.

In a battle, it primarily depends on how many flags the team has captured compared to the opposition, and then it goes down to points.

That's the key issue, right?  If the scores are tied on zero-zero flags is the reward fund *supposed* to be split on the basis of which individual scored the most points?  Or which team scored the most?  Or some other method?  And is the same method used if the teams are tied but with a score, as opposed to a "score-less draw?"    The OP thinks that it should be based on points - and hence sees a glitch - but unless we know how the points are supposed to be split up, we can't be sure if its a bug or not.   As I commented, I hope that it *isn't* supposed to be split on the basis of which individual scores the most points, as to me that undermines the whole ethos of the CTF team game.
