More people on point = increased capture speed?

[Broken Land]

Is that how it works? Or is it the same speed no matter what?

same speed no matter what

same goes for the payload

Ah I see. I guess someone just really wanted everyone on point when he told the team that lol.

Preety sure it does cap faster for capture points as shown by the number at the top (Unless its there just to confuse me), but yeah the payload definatly only moves at a set speed now.

• Objectives and Payload carts no longer progress faster with multiple players, one player will give the maximum amount of progress.
  
  
• Objective capture rate and Payload cart speed now increases over the course of the match.
  
  
• Objective capture rate and Payload cart speed is no longer altered when you are ahead or
  behind in points.

Capture speed is no longer increased when more people are on point after patch OB36.

Well.. it is not a bad idea to be several players on the pouint, as if one dies, the caping does not stop..
But having everyone on the cap might not be a good idea, since there are team killing skills..

Well, usually when there are more bodies on the point, it becomes much easier to defend. Trying to hold a point as a support while your tank, damage, flank, your mother, the kitchen sink, and my grandmother are all off trying to flank. This only results in me getting killed, and then everyone else dying one by one... only resulting in the GG moments when the team decides to face-roll one by one into the enemy that is amassed.

This. Though there are downsides to everyone being on the point, I have found having more people on or near it signifinatly increases the chance of winning. Not only that but when your team is grouped up it becomes a lot harder for the enemy flanks to get kills since they are better at 1v1 fights

Nope but it gives you more credits for actually playing the objective. Plus ensures the support of your fellow squad mates on the point.

The extra credits matter.
