Is this really worth almost 2000XP?

[JapLance]

Tier 9 battle, bust mostly tier 7-8 ships. 5 kills, because my shots were on low health targets, and all of them lowest tier ships (my equal). The only torpedo hit was an area denial launch that happened to hit a DD that was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Hardly 30k damage, and my impression at the end of the game was "shitty game".

 

 

Yet, almost 2000 base XP. WTF?

I think its because of achievements you got

[Terrorsatan]

cap 

 

[OldGrandad]

Also, reasonable XP is rewarded to aiding a cap with which you got, yesterday I got 11k XP in my Lolorado which was aided by getting a cap all on my own (yes, in that old tug!) and denying the enemy capping another. DD's are the best recipients of these XP reward changes, as it was often noted previously, that a DD can cap for their team with little reward for doing so yet caps reward points for the team. A good change as it also promotes more aggressive play.

had a nightmare game in my minekaze on friday on fault line. every torp launch arrived just late enough to hit a wreck, I was perma spotted by fighters and had a cleveland on my arrse that seemed determined to follow me everywhere with the intention of singing my paintwork.

 

saw a gap open up in the deployment, got a friendly CA to knock down the fighter, boosted across the map and capped. We were losing badly 4-7 by this point so while my contribution in damage done was zero ... I won the game for the team. IIRC 602 base xp and first win of the day x3. Not sure I earned this but I did earn it for the team and it is supposed to be a team game.

I like the new Xp for capping and defending the caps it now it gives the DD captains more purpose to play and so they should be rewarded as in most domination games they are the players which the team rely's on to cap the most.

I read on the forum that for every time you sink a ship, if it is last hit or not, it counts as dealing 15% damage to that ship. So by 5 kills you got the XP almost equal to bringing one ship from 100 to 0 % on your own. So I guess the base XP is justified.

[DEFCON_1]

Got around 1100 xp yesterday from a defeat. Sank 3 and damaged a bunch. Got around 700 from a victory with the same performance. Sometimes the rewards feel completely random.

[fnord_disc]

You get an extremely large amount of XP for capping. I had a game in Minekaze where I didn't hit a single enemy for any damage whatsoever, but I capped their base alone, got about 1300 base XP and finished top of the list. Just for one cap.

watch this ^^

 

a wasted x3 but ship happens

Damn it, I used to have a good bunch of those when I played DDs and it was all full of aircraft carriers. Usually they were 100-200XP at maximum...

[Aerroon]

I have a better one guys.

 

I did 5,610 damage and capped two bases and I was #1 with 1508 base xp.

LOL

That has got to be the most amusing result I have seen yet. Clearly the two caps provided a massive amount of XP. But it seems that what little damage you did do was against higher tier DDs, which of course was still very little. But it did buff the gain almost unreasonably.

 

Same with the OP. The kill bonus, added with the damage inflicted on destroyers appears to have been the central bits in combination with the capping benefit. It looks like that a low cap game can see an unterly unreasonable amount of cap XP. I would actually like to test that, see how the game would award XP if one ship caps one cap and nothing else happens. Might be an issue in the XP algorithm because cap XP is 'taken' from the other XP gained, rather than it being a free values like damage and planekills etc. The interesting question is, what happens when a game see-saws along the caps and ships end up with 4-5 caps among multiple ships. Does that mean that the guys that did kill the enemy ships end up with 700 XP?

I think capping a base alone (not assisted) gives you ~700-800 XP

 

insane results are possible ( gotta brag a little ;) )

maybe not 100% balanced out yet.

You did well beyond 100k damage to ships two tiers above you (including a Shima), and sank three of them. Cap XP might be a little silly, but it isn't the main cause of that massive base XP.

Guessing it would be for base caps and putting torp into that DD - after all you get reward for %hp damaged, so one random torp for 2/3hp of a DD is equal to molesting BB for few minutes with guns for 2/3 his hp.

 

Which explains why hunting small game is so profitable, unlike trying to attack Yamato with belt sander

Maybe, but look at this list and what you had to do to get that amount of XP ( 6590 with prem) . 130k damage was not enough to get even close.

How come all the screenshots showing the results show 0 points for "Base capture points received"?

 

Where does it tell you what you get awarded in XP for capping?

[LilJumpa]

It is actually bugged for a while now (pre 5.1). Cap/Decappoints are not counted for the statistics and don't show up in the results.

 

The only indicator you have are the Ribbons you get during the game and the results. Those get counted and rewarded as xou can see in Aerroons example.

That XP is rewarded is from the patchnotes for 5.1

Thank You for answering (and with a perfectly credible explanation) 

[LilJumpa]

You're welcome

 

I actually have no idea though how "blocking" is counted, meaning that you are in a capcircle with an enemy and prevent him from capping by just being there.

Would be interesting to see if that actually is indicated, rewarded and by how much.

So basically you were kill stealing

High tier ships are worth A LOT in XP. Has always been like that. The capping certainly added a fair bit of value, but it was the killing of three +2 tier ships that did the groundwork. Also, it is technically wrong to look at total damage, the real value lies in damage percentage of full health. Also, higher tier DDs get a bonus to their XP gain since they can't reliably deal massive damage (arguably it isn't enough but that's another discussion).

So basically you have no idea on how to play this game. Go back to WoT please and leave us alone.
