Not sure what happened here, but I was just playing on Jade Quarry Borderlands, and Blackgate gained the Bloodlust buff while only holding 1 capture point.

BG took control of 3 cap points and started the 2:00 minute clock. We decapped a point dropping them to 2, but the clock kept going. Decapped a second and it still kept going. The timer wouldn’t stop, at at the end of the 2:00 minutes, BG only had one cap point but still got the buff.

Anyone else seen this? This is the first time I’ve noticed this.

It’s not a map UI bug. I personally decapped a point while the clock was ticking. The clock just kept going, even though I just took away a cap point and BG now only had 2.

I had a similar issue today. However I believe it was a map UI bug. It said that JQ had 3 bloodlust stacks (time was ticking to switch) and only one was displayed on the map. I went to the NW node near garrison and when I arrived it was 90% JQ and I had to decap it, despite it being displayed on the map as neutral.

There is currently a bug with the UI of the events. It is not possible to capture the buff with fewer than 3 ruins held, it’s just that the display isn’t updating properly and it appears that way on occasion. We are aware of the issue and are doing our utmost to fix it ASAP. Thanks for the report.

It is possible to capture. BG did it 3 times in the last hour with holding one base. We held 3 bases for 2 minutes, most of us left the middle, BG took 3 bases, lost 2 of them with 1:30 left and the cap went through.

So please, turn it off or get it fixed.

True.
Here are some screenshots to confirm. This horribly imbalanced and broken bloodlust buff isn’t only broken in game design and balance, but also in it’s code.

Pls note my location on the map, the score, the timer, the colours of Lake and Lowlands and the location of the commanders.

Picture 2.
Note how everything is the same with the above picture.

Blackgate took the buff by only holding 1 (!) capture point.

Broken mechanic is broken….
