I am starting to believe that some decisions made with this game are made solely for the purpose to grief us and make us quit the game because otherwise this makes absolutely no sense.
We are not getting contribution points based on the healing and/or damage done when fighting other players but instead on the kills and assists done where as Outpost Rush is completely broken with so many great axe players spawn camping and steamrolling everything making some of the games to not even last more than five minutes.
Edit:
It seems that the way to acquire contribution points is to avoid PvP and kill zombies/wolves for contribution points. Makes sense since Outpost Rush is a battleground meant to PvP. Thank you.
Yes it’s a terrible system. If you want to guarantee yourself rewards go kill 13 zombies or wolves real quick at the start of every match. That gets you 520 score and guaranteed rewards
But they likely won’t turn in the Azoth, making them even more detrimental to your team since they are not only being useless, but being useless while holding resources lol
I’m a Fire Mage… While I feel quite impotent on damage right now, I’ve played about 25 OPR’s since the Into The Void patch. I’ve NEVER not gotten contribution credit… WTF are you doing that you’re not getting credit?
I think the lowest contribution I’ve ever gotten was in the 3k range.
Look at it from the other side. Until these 500 points were entered, half of the players just went to get gold. They stood on the spawn and did nothing. As a result, the matches ended in 5-7 minutes with a dry victory of one or the other team.
It’s actually very easy to get 500 points. If you can’t recruit them in PvP, go kill 5 wolves, skin them, chop 80 wood and collect 60 metal. Use these resources to build a tower in your outpost and build a gate. All this will take 5 minutes, and you will earn about 1000 points from these actions.
I’ve had the issue of no rewards a couple of times, but generally only when.it drops me into an in progress match onto a team that is already 3 capped and actively being spawn camped (thanks for that matchmaker).
In a normal match when I am there from the start 500 is an easy number. If it goes south fast I just focus on at least earning my points before it’s over.
yeah i always go out and just kill mobs and craft stuff , until i get 1k score , then fight if its not a spawn camp match , i dont care , they made a dumb system . and if i was not able to get score
with mobs and outpost upgrading i would not play it at all , this will never be balanced , its just impossible rip nw systems .
I’ve had 4 OPRs say that I didn’t contribute enough because I didn’t kill anyone as I’m mostly harvesting resources, maintaining the fort, destroying the other forts doors and respawn tower. Heck I took a base by myself and got not enough contributions.
Most the time the game doesn’t register what your doing in opr.
Wellllllllllllllllllllllll, maybe if you did some PvP along with your PvE?
Just a thought…
Hell, in one particularly abysmal match with a trial loadout and build I sucked with - while at the same time constantly guessing wrong about where people would be and winding up saying “Oh…hi guys!” to groups of opponents I apparently decided to face tank - I wound up with 8 kills, 9 deaths, and only 168k in damage. I still got 1200 points. Just get in there and go for it, don’t worry - at all - about having your head handed to you repeatedly and just have some fun.
Really depends on how quickly the match is finished, I’d say normally around 5000 but I’ve had games where top scores were as low as 2000 and some around 10,000.
