Guild Wars 2

Just make it so that you get 1 point per 5 seconds while the point is being contested and you own that node. If you bunker a node for 8 minutes straight, you get 100 points. I feel that is fair.

Don’t look at contribution points. There will never reflect how well you did because of the many possible strats in conquest.

I think it’s a great idea…

If people want to rely on personal score as “skill” or “contribution” then it should be adjusted accordingly.

Or maybe I AM BAD for bunking home all game and not losing it.

If u are bunking home whole game then yes you are bad.
any player with half brain would ignore u and play the other 2 points.

A lot of people have terribad opinions that they genuinely believe are true. That’s the problem with this game.

The purpose of the bunker. is to hold a cap and buy time for his teammates while he’s being outnumbered. So when bunker is 1v2 home for example. Elsewhere on the map his teammates have a +1 advantage which will make capping a node easier. His challenge is surviving the dps of multiple opponents and holding the cap as long as he can.

That’s why in the pro leagues, the first team that secured a node won the match.

How about just use statistics and the match score, and throw out the “hey I did good they gave me random arbitrary points!” nonsense.

If you’re bunkering home 1v0 whole game, then yes you are bad…

Also people still care about personal score? Wtf.

Personally it depends on map + rotations if I leave or not… Foefire for example… If no one is coming home, I head to mid and sit up top dropping range and AoE onto mid until I see someone tryin to make thier way to my home node, then I head back and bunker node point and give a few pings on the minimap to ask for help… Usually I get the +1 then repeat the process…

Khylo on the other hand, it’s really hard to leave point with mobility options available to enemy players, people can usually see you leave point just from the clock tower and the moment I do, they tend to head to decap so it feels there is little options available on whether or not to move off point.

It’s comical at this point how people have been playing conquest backwards due to that arbitrary number. The same set of random numbers that fooled many into believing it represented contribution and skill.

Problem is that the current behaviour can lead to games where you don’t get any reward because you have 0 points and the game thinks you did nothing but you actually contested nodes for the whole game duration.
