Capping a Flag

[$kelet0r]

What are the hard numbers for flag capping - how fast will 2 players cap a flag compared to one and so on?

Have you ever noticed that when you cap it alone (yes I'm sure I'm alone cause I look at my mini map) the speed varies anyways. Sometimes it goes "normaly" but sometimes crawls like a snail. And no enemies are around cause the bar doesn't jump up, just crawls like a snail.

I'm actually suprised these numbers aren't here anywahere, now that you mention it.

I think thats just a bug - the patch 1.3 notes seem to address this
Anyone know? The usual site came up blank and this is damn useful information. What I really want to find out if there is any substantial difference between 2 and 6 players capping a flag

I think different flags, depending on the location and importance, cap at different speeds. Or maybe its just me, cause it seems suburb is capped in 15 seconds alone and factory takes about a minute.

Yeah it would be intresting how long it takes to cap a flag with various people!

Yeah, it always seemed to me that flags like the factory in Karkand and the TV station on Sharqui capped real slowly. . .and I think this is intentional because they are important flags.

Its just you, if the number of players in cap vicinity is the same, time never varies, out of pure estimation, one player probably DEcaps in 15 seconds, two in 5-7...

Re: Capping a Flag

The speed of the flag going down also depends on the size of the teams - If one team outnumbers the other the flag will go down much slower. We've had a few clans do this to us in matches, when one of their players 'accidentally' drops in a 5v5 causing the flag to take much longer to go down.

I've never noticed that tbh - I really want to find an answer to this
