1) If you lose a multiplayer game, nothing is awarded. This also means that nothing is subtracted, if you end up with negative points.
2) If you win a multiplayer game, your "multiplayer wins" counter is incremented, and you're awarded all the points you won.
3) If a multiplayer game is tied (noone is able to reach the objective), the player who reached the most points (kills) wins, and is awarded the points. The other player loses and doesn't get anything.
4) If a player retires, you should be notified, you will win and you'll get the points.
5) If we delete a game because it's expired, noone gets the points.
6) You should always be able to see the "Mission End" screen.
Some things can definitely be improved. For example, Waltero is right: showing the points to the loser leads him to believe he's getting points, while he's not. We'll try to change this.
Point 5) is unjust, and we'll see if we can technically give a penalty to the player who let the game expire and award points to the other.
We're receiving a lot of feedback about Point 6). It seems that some players are not notified about the end of the game.
It seems we're unable to reproduce this problem. Can some kind player help us with this? Are you able to come up with an instance in which you were not notified of the end of the game? Can you tell us what the game was (opponent and date)?
Thank you!
I don't know what to tell you. I do not receive points on a tie game, me being successful.
The last Scenario (MacGuffin) I played I won...no points awarded. When I eliminate all enemy units, except one tank, vs his losing all units with the exception of one tank and killing only two of my units...I had to beat the tie breaker...for sure.
What you are telling me is; Every game that I (my personal score) did not achieve objective victory, I lost (ties and all).
Games: 17 wins (no tie...wins) I know these were outright (completed objective) wins because I have been keeping track.
Score: 17,675
I average about 1,000 points per game (games that I win outright). I have finished well over 45+ games. According to you, I have never broke a tie...
On occasion (rarely) I do receive a replay of the last turn, not every game. I do receive notice of games end, via email.
But I will be more precise and send you some feedback on future games.
Just this second: This happened twice. I believe two games were set up as a test to see what was going on. Replay seemed to work but the point system...no worky, worky.
OK, it looks like the replay is working (this time), But I still do not receive points. My opponent Resigned.
Game; "successful mission", 1,000 + another 1,000 (2games) points should have been awarded to meeeee
...I get the usual zilch, zero, nota, Booo!I noticed when I entered replay then went back into the menu screen, my points were back down to my older score?
