Question about capture points


LaGranse.8652

Recommended Posts

Something strange happened just a moment ago. I and a guildmate was capturing a camp, the ring was up displaying our team color however just before the camp was to be captured a thief from red team attack us and even though both me and my guildmate is still inside the ring, red team gets the capture.

I cannot speak for my guildie however I personally was not using any skill that prevents capture point progress when this happened. Is this some bug, some strange gamemechanic just before a cap is successful or something else?

My guildie was a herald, do they have access to such a skill?

Thief would need to decap those 90% first and recap fully. Not something you can do in a second or few. This seems like a bug if that's the case.

No they dont. Caps keep going no matter who is capping. Decap is only for defenders.

A long time ago I had an...embarrassing... encounter with an enemy thief. I soloed the camp and started capping it, but a thief started to fight me (not defender, another attacker). We fought for some time, back and forth. He stealthed, I gained a few ticks. I stealthed, he gained a few ticks. At 95% capped I had him very low and only needed to bait out an easy stealth for the thief... then my decoy autoprocced. Well fuck.

I thought I read that thief was defender.

I've lost camps to Phase Smash on my hammer rev. It sucks not being able to use that skill to defend your camp or capture ;-(

Lol @ that thumbs down. Some people just cant comprehend so yeah...
