It is like the second part after my first post of yesterday, this time i was more aware of the general situation so no speculation, no jokes

 

Battle type domination (with 3 caps)

Duration: 6:58

 

My team was taking a beating but we have 1 cap (i was like in the middle of that cap  at the end) , enemy has 2 caps

The score was  i as saw it 1 second before ending like almost 700 points for enemy, we have less than 300, but they completed the mission, at least this was the message from WG

What mission ?  

God (WG) only knows

 

So in conclusion, there is a mission where you do not need 1000 points to win, what is that mission.....waiting for opinions

You start with 300 points, they sank 3 battleships that's -180 points, and 3 cruisers, that's -150 points. They zero'd you out.

Please be honest, did you buy that account? Becuase that's two massive oversights someone with your game count should be aware of.

Yeah, i buy it with my time

It's there a 0 point rule

You joking? Even if you played those 16k games in coop you would know the answer to that question by now?

I never let anyone to touch my account i am kind of extreme in this regard.

those low periods is me being extremly bored and tired but just stick it for missions

 

 

Speaking from personal experience, trying to stick in like that for the missions, will give you many defeats.

And yet you are unaware of how base capping works or how ship scoring works, the basics of every random mission, of which you have 16,000 to your name, and your account shows the exact same sort of performance cycles that has seen several clans banned recently, presuming it's an account you haven't simply purchased recently.

My next battle, not my best but maybe you stop being a jerk

I tried to google for an answer when did WG introduce this Mercy rule of theirs, but couldn't find an answer. Judging by one discussion on Reddit, people are often still taken by surprise when the battle ends due to it.

I think it was already part of the game during Open Beta.

I noticed an older thread with you and Tuccy posting in it, related to patch 7.2. Based on that, the rule is older but for some reason people haven't really noticed it before, as such.

 

https://forum.worldofwarships.eu/topic/98220-games-ending-too-quickly-mercy-rule/

 

I also spotted elsewhere something slightly controversial; when battles end early due to the Mercy rule, it robs you of your chance to fully make use of your camos and flags in terms of lost damage farming potential.

this rule is crap, pardon my words

even if i win even if i lose  it is a theft in my opinion because sometimes just deprive you of completing some specific missions when you are at some 100 exp or 2000 damage  of target

After a while some people - me, for example - tend to stop caring about winrate, as it's mostly influenced by other people (= 11 teammates and 12 enemies), which can often be seen by people doing tons of damage, several kills and a high personal rating and still losing the battle due to teammates getting sunk faster than one can sink the enemy...

So 2 threads both about games finish early, yet in all the 16k games you've played you've never experienced zeroing out or capping the enemy base in a standard battle.....

I've experienced something similar on domination map, in general it was at the end of the battle with over 8-900 points

I did want to ask on forum about, but now it was so obvious so i asked

and get some unpleasant replies

Yes, it happens more often when you are at very high end of the points. It is mildly surprising then, but you don't usually stop to think about it. When it happens early on, it kinda feels like some kind of a game failure.

You get snarky comments because this is something you really should know after the amount of games you have played regardless of game mode.

 

If you loose too many ships too fast, your points will drop quicker than a single cap can give you (which you also see if you press tab) and you loose. And considering you lost a lot of ships and the enemy none, the simple asnwer is this is not a "strange" defeat, you just got crushed.

If you really feel like you have to be rude towards the OP,
