Forced to spawn camp at the end of each match in Fields of Glory

[Thekk]

A bit of napkin maths:

• The map has 4 big crystals (300 points each) and 18 small crystals (70 points each) for a total of 2460 points, or an average of 820 per team.
• Outposts give 2 points every 3 seconds (or 40 per minute). The last crystal spawns with 8 to 10 minutes left and usually gets destroyed within 2 minutes. 14 minutes of uninterrupted control of an outpost will net you 560 points.

That means that you would potentially have 1380 points if you got your fair share of crystals and didn't fight at all. That leaves you with 420 points to get somewhere else.

There are 3 options for that:

1. Getting more points than the other companies from crystals. However, given their spread around the map, it is highly unlikely you'll reach 1000.
2. Control enemy outposts. You could get one or two hundred points for holding them for a couple minutes while other companies are fighting for the furthest big crystal. However, you could lose your own as easily over the course of the match.
3. Kills. You get 10 points per kill and lose 5 per death. If your team is average and you kill as much as you die, that will net you 5 points per kill. At that ratio, 84 kills would be enough, but the winning company almost always has more kills than deaths and in turn needs less than that. You would actually need to die twice as much to break even.

With that in mind, we can draw the following conclusions

• It is very unlikely you will reach a high enough amount of points strictly from the PvE objectives. As such, I feel people underestimate how important the PvP aspect actually is.
• If you sit on the side while no crystals are active and watch the other 2 companies fight to a stalemate, they are actually getting more points than you are.

The morale of the story is you're not going to win without a fight, so avoiding it is pointless. However, you have to pick the right moments. There is plenty of time to do between big crystals since they spawn every 4 minutes and usually get destroyed within 2. You don't need to send your whole team for small crystals, so the rest of it should pull its weight. Just don't get into a fight with one company while letting the other get a big crystal for free. Tunnel vision is bad.
