OOOOH man just wait untill the forums start to look like BF3s. By that I mean trolls are going to start pulling the "your K/D is too low, agument invalid" BS. Lets just hope it doesn't get out of hand like in BF3.
This only works if they know your characters name, right? So unless both names are the same(in my case they are) it is still up to you if you want to place your character stats into the argument.
People already did that with the planetside-universe tracker. Though they also coupled it with "your K/D is only high because you're in a magrider all day".
Trolls are trolls and the general K/D alone is a useless metric. For the K/D to be even slightly relevant, we should have infantry-vs-infantry, infantry-vs-vehicles, vehicles-vs-infantry and vehicles-vs-vehicles. Ideally, there would be empire-specific comparison and comparison to each general worldwide K/D.
what i miss are the teamkill stats. I really would like to know how often i rolled over my people. or shot them. On purpose.
+1 For every person who goes on about K/D being important, there's 1+ who dump on them for it being pointless in a game like this. The community is already self-policing. We'll be fine.
It's not a problem because if they pull that crap, they automatically reveal that they have no idea what they are talking about, thus invalidating everything they write. So let them shoot themselves in the foot all they want.
Thats availible. The Kills counter in-game includes friendly kills, but the pie chart for kills does not. Simply take the sum of the pie chart, and subtract it from the total. That'll give you your total friendly kills. Oh, and the Players website can also show you how many times you've killed and been killed by a certain player. (Friendlies and Enemies)
just ignore it, ppl who need a K/D for epeenbusiness or as a tool for measuring their success and or fun in a game shouldnt be taken seriously at all...
