End Of Round Causing Engineers To Lose Points On Harvest

[JMaster299 654]

Was just playing on Harvest West Coast x33 right now as a gunslinger engineer. And every time the round ends from a team winning I lose stat points when we spawn for the new round for any equipment I had up at the end of the previous round. It is waiting until the start of the new round, when stats are active, to do this. I was never team switched but it kept happening every time either we won or the other team won.

I have a screen shot here sowing the pop up message for the points being subtracted. It is acting as if I destroyed my stuff. I never switched my load out. The only thing I can think of is the server is incorrectly behaving as if I switched my load out. But even then that should not happen because all my items should just disappear in between rounds.

You can see in the screen shot the round has just started and the point is not even active yet. You can see the negative points on the right hand side. Again I was never team switched and I never changed my loadout.

If I remember right, this was happening with the old stats too. I think you lose the points you get for building something when it gets destroyed. When the New round starts and your buildings get removed from the map the stats may handle it just like if they'd got destroyed by a player.

But I'm not sure.

I think you're right.

You lose points if you destroy your own buildings, or if they are still up at the end of the round. You only retain the build points (which are awarded when the building is placed) if they are destroyed by an enemy during the round.

I have never once before seen this notice pop up during a round change. Last night on the Harvest server is the only place I have seen it. It would be nice to get some confirmation on this. I know Lotus has no control over how the points work, but I just want to make sure they are working as intended.

I've spent the last two days playing Gunslinger on the west coast Hightower x24 server, and never once during a round change did I see a pop up showing I lost points for any buildings that I still had up.

Edit:

I want to add two more things on this issue with points. First is I have screen shots after a round change on Hightower (west coase x24) today, and no pop up message showed on my screen that I lost points for the equipment I had up during the round change. Maybe it's Hightower that's broken, but what I am seeing on Hightower does not match what I saw on Harvest yesterday. As you can see in this screen shot, it is the start of a new round and there is no message on my screen showing negative points. For the record I had both a dispenser and teleport entrance built when the round ended.

Another stat message issue, unrelated to engineer equipment, is I see the message pop up for points from capture blocks for the other team. Meaning if someone from my team is trying cap a point or a cart, and the other team blocks, that team that blocks gets +2 Team Points, but the message for the "Team +2 Points Capture Block" will show up on my screen. This happens on on Lotus servers. As you can see in the screen shot below I am on the Blue team at the time and Red blocks us twice while trying to cap the cart. But the message shows on my screen as if I am earning points for the other team blocking.

That's what you get for using a mini.

I have to take crap on the server already, so can we maybe avoid the mini sentry bashing with in the clan?

I like to go on harvest, go engi with mini and influence the rest of my team to do it.

Harvest is KOTH, while Hightower is PLR, does the gametype have an effect on the points itself?

I've played on both and have either never noticed the loss of points or never had the effect on me, and I'm usually the idiot that's still leveling up my Sentry and Dispenser long after the capture/timer runs out and the win cue is heard.
