    I highly doubt very many matches are going to even last 10 minutes. Larger scale PvP usually goes pretty
    quickly. Especially at the rate Yoshi was getting points in the video. The only way a full 30 mins is gonna
    go is if people AFK and/or just decide for some reason to not even bother trying to take bases and just beating
    eachother senseless.

    With that said, I think the rewards will be worth it, and yes I will be PvPing for sure.

    To me it doesn't seem like thats how it works. According to the info given today it seemed like 30 minutes is the match. That you just rake up points throughout the whole 30 minutes from killing mobs,players,capturing and keeping points. Then I'd assume after the 30 minutes. GC with highest point total wins

    Negative. If you look in the video, each GC on the right side of the screen has 0/1000 listed underneath their respective flags.
    It's first to 1,000. They only set that 30-minutes so people can't just go in and AFK forever and use up server space.

    As Yoshi stood by those flags/bases, it started to increase. 10/1000 > 20/1000 > etc.

    If I'm mistaken, that's pretty ridiculous to force people to have 30-minute matches or get nothing. I'm 99% sure it's first to 1000.

    Just watched the video part you were saying. Points started raking in @58:43 and at 59:43 the counter still running was @31/1000 so 31 points per minute that a flag stays in control of a group. No idea how many capture points there are nor the points of getting killing a person/mob. But I don't the points will be enough to end a game in 10 minutes. Unless the points gotten from those 2 are much bigger. Since 1 Capture Point alone for 30 minutes would only give 930/1000

    Ah. Well, from what I've experienced in other MMOs 10 minutes~ is about the average, that's why I used that number.

    But yes, it will depend on how many points monster/players give.

    In the live letter there was a limit in the points every team could get, xxxx/1000, but we don't know if 1k is some kind of min or the quantity that marks the end of the match.
