"get the crystals, bring them back to base"
It’s not so easy to see the crystals to pick up, sometimes. And sometimes newbies are intercepted. That’s all I can say on it.
It’s not really that hard. But I’d assume a lot of people are going for the ‘kill 30 players’ achievement mixed in with others so there’ll probably be going around looking for kills.
Unfortunately, the game mode as a whole is somewhat flawed in that once a person with full HP grabs a crystal in Wind Aspect, they’re basically guaranteed a free cap.
I think that’s basically what’s happening. People are more interested in farming the 30 kills necessary for their achievement rather than winning. (All it takes is one person running crystals while the rest of the team and the enemy team duke it out in the center.)
The wind aspect doesn’t guarantee a free cap against a team that knows what they’re doing, easily killed with 2 people. Crystals pretty much spawn randomly but after a game or 2 its really not hard to get the hang of it… I got the achievement by capping and then killing after we have a big point lead -_-
It’s not hard but people aren’t very bright. I had a team member who brought the crystal to the other side … lol.
