PvP match win = 0 points??

edited February 2014 in MPQ General Discussion
Hello everyone,

I've been exchanging blows with another player for the last half hour or so, with both of us mostly winning against each other's team (we both have the same: low level Iron Man model 40, OBW 62, Classic Storm 50 - he lost twice vs. my AI team though - I bet that annoyed him, long live unstoppable cascades! Anyway, where was I? Right!).

Rather strangely, after the last match, I got exactly zero points from him. Any idea what could have caused this? The win screen was the usual one, but it had 0 points as the reward.

  • Did you notice if your points actually went up or not? A few times I've had zero points from a match, only to find it was wrong and I actually did get them.

    I could swear my score didn't move, but then again, often the score in the match selection screen won't move, until I go check the leaderboard or do another match.

    So you've had it before and it was just a display error? That's a relief, thanks! =)

    I've had it a couple of times but my score does still go up.
    I always assumed it because they put up a shield and the score display just gets confused.
  • I beat someone that was supposed to give me 30+ points, but in the results screen it said I got -1 point.
    And yes, it did deduct a point from my score. I posted it in the bugs section but haven't heard an explanation for it yet.
  • Sometimes when you are coming out of a win, the server will already apply your loss total to that win.

    For instance, yesterday I attacked someone for 38 points. When I came out of the battle, I only received 16 points for it. A few seconds later, a "you've been attacked' pop-up came out and showed I had lost 22 points to someone else.


    In your case, you got hit for the exact amount you won.
  • Seems the devs missed not only the security basics course but that on race conditions too. icon_e_sad.gif

    Got that yesterday myself. And my total was correct.
