a K/D of 41.69 - is this possible??

    Average KDR has to be below 1. If you kill someone you get a kill and someone gets a death. If you suicide you get a death but no one gets a kill.

    Please look at his played time. If he really does that he plays on some amazing server - you people are essentially forcefeeding him kills if he doesn't even have to leave the warpgate to get THIRTY THOUSAND kills in 12 days played.

    I just made a character, got a kill, then logged off from it permanently.

    My K/D is unbeatable.....


    That is why K/D is so incredibly important.
  3. Unbeliveabot

    ...A character with 1 Kill and no Deaths still only has a 1 K/D ratio.
  4. Cookiepiledriver

    1/0 = 1

    Makes perfect sense.
  5. Aelloon

    That's cool and all except the dude also has 30k (yes, thirthy THOUSAND) kills while maintaining that KDR.
  6. Cookiepiledriver

    Kind of missing the point..

    That's very easy to do if you just get your aircraft, join a fleet, then wait until the CD is backup should you crash, or log before you lose your plane.

    Infantry in this game are expendable, so K means a lot less than it indicates.

    You can solo a vanguard with the driver jumping out before it explodes and you will not have gotten the kills it was worth, then die for it.


    K/D is just a a stat to distract you from actually having fun while winning the game. It's a tax on the competition-driven hormonally charged player who is incapable of thinking for himself.
  7. Dragam

    This is true... with that in mind, the average is perhaps more like 0,9.
  8. Unbeliveabot

    a) For the purposes of calculating a K/D ratio, then for Deaths 0 is 1 (the Number 0, not the Digit 0)

    b) That's how the game lists it, and that's all that really matters.

    The person in question is a blatant cheater, in fact the biggest cheater I have seen so far. He is using aimbot, unlimited ammo and no-reload hacks. An outfit-mate of mine has seen him fire a salve of 3 Decimator shots without reloading. I saw him use about multiple C4 in one run in a tower, where he and another hacker kept instakilling a whole squad multiple times that included a couple of lvl 60+ guys with 5:1 K/D ratios themselves. The guy will usually appear behind you and insta-kill you. He usually does it with a Mosquito and rocket pods and he also insta-kills Reavers with his front cannon.

    Last but not least, his stats are so far away from the rest of the sample, that this alone is proof enough that something is wrong. Any professional in statistics will confirm that the likelyhood that this guy is a cheater are in the 99.9999999999% range. Together with the incidents that I can confirm, because I have witnessed it myself, and that guys from my outfit have reported, the verdict is clear.

    The guy gets reported on a daily basis by tons of people but nothing happend so far. I reported him at least 5 times. Whole zones have reported him. Why SoE isn't doing anything against him, I can't tell.




    Btw, the player in question was also a known cheater in PS1 using CoF, endless ammo, no-reload hacks, so it is not really surprising.

    c) It doesn't matter. The only thing that matters for the cert maximizer is score/hour. Might as well be lumped in with achievements, or aesthetics.

    d) For the purpose of making a pizza out of hamburgers and broccoli, hamburgers are now dough and broccoli is now tomato sauce.

    The average K/D in this game should be around 1.2 because there are lots of medics with negative K/D. Same goes for all those engineers who repair stuff up and hand out ammo. They usually don't score any kills but die a lot to grenades.

    Standard deviation should be about 0.5. If you take 3x the standard deviation around the average K/D it covers about 99.7% of the playerbase. The chances that Daddy's stats are valid are like winning a lottery 8 consecutive days in a row.

    Edit: If I think about it, the average K/D should be around 1.2, but in reality it probably is below 1.0 indeed. I forgot about all the Liberator/vehicle spam that sends infantry back to respawn 24/7. If that is the case, then Daddy's stats become even more absurd.

    Its totally comprehend able that he can maintain a 40/1 K/D if you try for it....pull ESF, dont go to anywhere hot, farm outposts of n00bs.
    My BR90 stats as stated currently on PSU. kills: 37271 deaths: 4175
    my BR100 stats

    difference 9906 kills, 331 deaths. = 30k/d for an extended period of time...and i played infantry sometimes. 40 is totally in the realm of possibility.
  13. Krave

    nope in an mosquito - and i have to admit he´s by far the best ESF-pilot i have observed so far...
  14. Aghar30

    either way he inflates his KDR with vehicles, hence the metric is baseline useless.
  15. {joer

    You don't get a 40 kd ratio in a esf consistently without shinnanigans.

    Not possible, sorry.
  16. SKYeXile

    Quoting this for lols, you ever piloted an ESF?
  17. #yoloswag420

    That is a somewhat believable KDR for someone who constantly flys in a liberator with a good crew or someone who is incredibly cautious in a ESF.

    The funny thing is that a blatant hacker playing infantry would likely have some difficulty maintaining a KDR like that. Not to mention that would be next to impossible for a legit armor player to pull of. Still, air is not at all broken.
  18. SKYeXile

    it really is fine, since K/D is meaningless.

    you get more kills per hour in a tank than you would an ESF, because of the downtime an ESF has.
    and a lib requires 2 people to operate effectively to maintain as good of kill per hour(for one person) as a solo tank.
  19. gunshooter

    As good as is a bit of a lie. 1.5x better at least.
  20. SKYeXile

    you mean for the tank or for the Lib?

    my lib, lightning and magrider are all in the 170-180KPH range(lighting being the highest at just over 180). ESF is 127KPH and infantry is about 110KPH.
