Alderaan Warzone: If you're Losing DON"T CAP!

Since you guys seem to love analogies...

When you play chess and you get checkmated, you don't play the game out and hope your opponent forgets what he has to do to win. You lay down your king and say "gg, re?"

In a pug scenario, you owe it to the others that are still trying to win to try your best to help them. It should never be the other way around.

Yes, and no. You can feel proud but you didn't change the outcome of the match whatsoever. You still lost, you got the same amount of rewards (at a lower rate of valor+comms/minute for drawing out a loss).

Looking for a consolation prize in a Warzone just to make yourself feel better for a loss is not a good enough reason to waste time (increasing the time it takes to complete a warzone by 20-40%), especially if the consolation prize is LESS VALOR, LESS COMMS. You are only punishing yourself further for the loss.

your analogie is wrong. i never got checkmate in alderaan before we reached 0.

If you are going to lose a game against the opposite faction and they 3 cap you,

Don't try to be a hero and cap one of the bases, it just slows down the game.

You can argue for defender points, but it's alot better to farm a position while the flag has been capped by the opposite faction, since they will keep rushing to defend the flag.

This speeds up the game and makes it so you can get your 4 medals quite easily.


Thank you

While it is true that you get less valour and less comms by increasing the time of the game, the rest of your post is pure opinion based on your personal reasons for doing Warzones.

For many people, the consolation prize has nothing to do with some valour/gear grind and everything to do with taking whatever small victory they can away from the fight.

I tend to walk the line depending on my mood. If we're down 5-0 against a stacked Huttball team, it's not unusual for me to grapple the ball carrier into a better scoring position (if they're farming us). Conversely, I'm also down with charging into a turret/door/whatever with teammates and trying to win a tough fight to gain the node, whether it's relevant to the win or not.

For the 'never stop trying crowd'... as long as your definition of trying isn't going all Leroy Jenkins into an entrenched premade over and over and over with zero variation to your approach, I'm with you. Running in and dying over and over is not trying.

In the rare losing Civil War game, I will sometimes lead charges to attack other nodes although we have lost. HOWEVER, I will NEVER cap the node in a losing game (which is what this entire thread is about), even if we dominate them and win the battle for the node. Prolonging the match by 1-5 minutes serves no purpose. Nobody is saying "Let them kill you," or "Don't kill enemies,", but regarding objectives, if you are already passed the point of no return and have 4 medals, don't interrupt them capping your only node in Civil War, or capping that 6th ball, or reaching the datacore.
