Not getting AP in Cyrodiil?

heaven13

I've flipped at least 2 resources where I was standing on the flag as it flipped. I was rewarded XP. I did not get AP. Same thing just happened at Bleakers. I was on the flag when it flipped and again, XP but no AP. I've reported it each time as it happened but what the heck is going on?

There is a timer.
Every alliance can onky get every tick once every 5? Minutes.
So if it flipped too soon after another flip you wont get anything

I've had the same issue, in an hour my group member got about 40k AP (2 rftw) and I got ZERO.... Even though he was playing a pve tank that does potato damage and I was playing a dps/healer that does pretty decent. We were next to each other for all but 5 minutes during which time I claimed a resource while he was riding to meet me. We both had the AP boost active and have similar cp levels, but I still got zero AP.....

It wasn't a timer thing. The Bleakers one, I had just ported into Cyrodiil after a battleground and it was the first thing I did that would have earned AP there.

Sorry to hear that it's happening to you as well though a small part of me is relieved it's not just me, lol

Its not a char timer. Its an alliance timer. So if anyone from your allialce takes something, nobody else will get a tick from the same thing for 5min or so

That does not seem correct. People flip keeps simultaneously; people take resources around a keep in a circle without 5 minutes between. If what you're saying was the case, I would have seen 'no ap earned' long before this event.

This is something that seems to happen every time theres a MidYear Mayhem. People somehow don't get AP they are due. I remember this happening to a large group I was in last time the event ran. Large amounts of AP missing.

You missunderstand me.

Every ressource, keep, outpost, town has its own timer, per alliance

Lets take Ales farm for example.
DC takes it and gets ap. EP immediatly rides back and retakes it (EP gets AP) . The DC zerg comes back and caps it again. If the second capture of Dc was within the 5 min timer from DC first capture, they wont get ap.

They will however get ap for any other ressource (unless the ressource has a timer aswell)

Ah, okay. I did misunderstand. However, I still don't think that's the issue here as one of the resources I flipped earlier in the morning had been that color for quite some time (I was just looking for easy AP while I waited for a BG queue to pop).

Are you running any UI add-ons that might interfere with your view of keep takes and AP gain, @heaven13 ... especially any out-of-date add-ons?

Sometimes on the map I see a crossed-swords icon and if I hover over it, it says something about a recent battle.
Is this icon related to this cooldown, as the indicator?

To be honest a few of us have seen something similar on xbox na. Saving a keep after a hectic 40min battle against a zerg, even with the scroll active for the buff we only recieved 5k AP. Which is pretty unexpected.

I do use LUI, but see my AP just fine when I get it. I've been working on increasing my war ranks and have a daily goal for AP. So I deposit all AP gained the day before in the bank and only carry what I've earned each current day to stay on track which means that I also generally have a good idea of how much AP I have/should have.
