OK so here's the deal

I'm trying to find out how many points you get for each action. I'm so confused by it atm I know rank matters but starting to think level does do.

And kills vs deaths don't balance between teams which is also confusing me. I realize there are more ways to die now via mobs and debuffs.

Just trying to figure out the most efficient way to get points.

i'm looking at data from our last GT with people that didn't capture any flag. Thats 31 data sets all of them are members. I know you get more points for killing GM's when you are a lower lank there were however only 25 gm deaths total for either side.
there are 3 common denominators that come up in figuring points 3 5 and 7. During the entire tournament members could only gain kill points by killing members or the GM no other ranks existed BUT somehow there is a third possible point to get for a killl.

Do you earn fewer points from getting kills while the other person is at a disadvantage? ie. killing them as a slime poison deaths or bomb deaths.

Also where does the discrepancy between kills and deaths between the 2 sides occur. There is 169 deaths that occurred w/ out giving credit to either team for my last GT.

Also looking for a definitive answer on how many points are awarded at what interval for holding flags.

I haven't started trying to figure the points lost yet =/

They don't have info on this. This is another one of those figure-it-out-for-yourself-or-don't-bother-things.

Just like the dmg/def and aim/eva formulas, nobody (that I know of) has come close to finding the real formulas yet (the ones on the wiki are wrong, they only work in some few limited scenarios). Believe me I've tried... the only conclusion I made is that these formulas are very complex and involve hidden stats.

well w/ awarding 3 5 6 or 7 points for each kill a member gets either against a member or a gm since those were the only ranks participating in the GT i can make it work for all but 8 out of 83 soo i'm still missing something but it was a start.

Relic Enabled Kills> 3 points
Member>member 5
Member>GM 7

I have no idea where the 6 point instances come from =/ it just happened to be a common occurrence to match the total number of kills with the total number of points acquired where no flags were taken.

soo thats all i came up w/ so far....
