"Valor Farming"?

[Slamz]

Rumor:
Your odds of getting valor are best if you one of the last to die.

e.g.,
kill 5 people, die in the first minute = no valor
hide in a closet for 4 minutes, then kill 5 people and die = much higher chance of valor


Can devs confirm if this is true?  If it's false, then maybe we can stop the rash of people hiding in closets for the first half of the fight.  Personally I can't think of a time where I got valor without being one of the last few people to die, though, so I think the rumor is true.


If it is true, then I think:
a) Valor should be removed
or
b) Valor should not be based on how long you lived

lived to the end of a round, did only a tk, got valor....derp

[Herkkutatti]

people hiding in closets and shooting with arbalets = sir_agor = valour farmer

Valour should be rewarded to the players that dealt the most damage. Not this weird system that encourages being a useless shit for your team and hiding for the greater part of the round.

[Wiltzu]

I vote for B

But I remember getting valour while I was 2h, I putted ladder and archers used it and after that I killed 2guys, and then I died and the time was something like 5:30. So I don't think it's based on the time you live. But then again, most of my valours have came when I have survived very end of the round

That's how it works?

Hell no! Maybe dealt damage/PS*base damage of the weapon or something

Probably the formula has a certain probability per minute or smth. The longer you live, the more minutes of having a chance for valour.

Yes, it's perfect for hiding and camping xbowers.

I killed 2 and died in the first min and still got valor.

No one does it like Agor, no one.

[Dalhi]

From my own experience chance to get valour is pretty random, what I mean by random is a fact that I was rewarded with bonus multiplier in different situations, sometimes when I died in the middle of the round without killing a single guy, or maybe just one, I got it. In other situations I accidently commited suicide at the end of the round and got the valour, well I slaugthered few earlier, tho. I guess that the longer you live the higher chance is to get reward. As example sir_Agor, he often camps and die as a last guy and as a reward for his amazing "camping skills" he gets multiplier.

Would be nice to see Valor on siege for defenders if the flag is taken at :30 or less, or for attackers if they flag ever makes it 3/4 of the way down. Something anyhow, and yeah, how it works out needs to be adjusted.

Who the hell is Agor anyway?

Who the hell is Agor anyway?

Imagine someone on a roof, with a xbow, thats basically Agor

[LordBerenger]

Haha yeah it's probably right.

I remember camping the wood shed in the map back when i played CRPG in the ehm...map with a big house in the middle where archers usually place ladders to camp and lots of trees at the right side up the hill.

Had tincan armor. Crossbow+Steel Bolts + Great Maul.

Camped the shit out of it alongside others.

Was always the last one and even though we lost the round some rounds i ALWAYS at that map got Valor. So yeah. I'd say it's probably as OP says.
