Title: What's your KD rate
Post by: Bryggan on July 17, 2012, 10:08:53 am
I am curious as to what sort of K:D rate forum users have.  As we all know, for every kill there is a death.  When we look at the scoreboard the top quarter have most of the kills, then the remaining 75% trickle down from 2-3 kills per death to zero or a minus figure.  My question is who uses these forums?  Is it just gen 20ers with heirloomed everything who can kill half the board while chatting to their buds and playing 'Angry Birds' on their Iphone at the same time, or do the 'fodder', such as myself, read this shit too?

So please be honest.  These polls are anonymous, so if you do in fact have a low K:D rate, vote honestly, then lie later and say you didn't vote until a few other people voted the 25+ kills.

1.5/1

Guess that is what I get for charging blobs of 5-6 people on my own.

I also play siege a lot.

And honestly KD compared by lvl would make greater sense.

Never saw it.  I also did say 'the average', though I should have said 'per map'.  First few levels don't mean anything at all, so forget them.  Assume I meant when your character is at a half ass level, and also what your previous generations were like.  I'm just curious who uses the forums.

80% of drivers rate themselves as above average drivers (skill wise).
Look at the polls. Everyone is claiming they are that good and think they are so.

As for me in all honesty:
my overall KDR's are fairly low, MAINLY because I only play gimmick characters, but also because I run in and die ; just in general don't pay attention when I play. Duel wise I'm really good though.

MW Stone thrower (Cyclopsided): 792/811, 1:1.0
exclusively Close range longbow Archer (CYBD) 681/448, 1.5:1
melee - peasant armor using scythe usually (Brunchlady) 1301/870, 1.5:1

You know what button I pressed? 2-4:1 button.
I knew everyone else would to.

I dont get it.  why should anyone lie in a anonymous poll?  and why you?  you say yourself you use gimmic characters and dont care about k/d,  so why lie about it and think everyone else is, too.

your post sounds preachy in a good way at first,  but if one breaks it down to what you are writing,  its kinda meh. aint an offence at all,  I am just really wondering what thats about.

K:D ratio in battle ? 20:14 on lvl 28 (i played few times on low level and few times on current lvl) (1.4:1 approx).

K:D ratio in siege ? It doesn't count so i can't give you truthful answer, but it can be as high as 20:0 or as low as -1:10. I bet it's above 2:1.

Poll is flawed, as there are no option for anyone who have k:d ratio between 1.1:1 and 1.9:1 so make new one. P.s, highest option should be 6+:1, very few people have higher.

At least make a half decent poll if you're going to do this, 11-14:1, 15-20:1, 21-25:1, 25+:1 really?

And 2-4 is such a massive gap, this really doesn't show anything.

closing in on 1:1 - currently 1:2.0, had 1:2.4-2.6 in all the gens before (now my 3rd on main)
after one year playing I finally found a build that works just fine.

edit:
I might add that I don't care about k:d when I'm playing, but it's nice to see some progress. I'm playing supporter classes mostly so whatever.

I am curious as to what sort of K:D rate forum users have.  As we all know, for every kill there is a death.  When we look at the scoreboard the top quarter have most of the kills, then the remaining 75% trickle down from 2-3 kills per death to zero or a minus figure.  My question is who uses these forums?  Is it just gen 20ers with heirloomed everything who can kill half the board while chatting to their buds and playing 'Angry Birds' on their Iphone at the same time, or do the 'fodder', such as myself, read this shit too?

So please be honest.  These polls are anonymous, so if you do in fact have a low K:D rate, vote honestly, then lie later and say you didn't vote until a few other people voted the 25+ kills.

I'm pretty flukey, but at level 30 I'm almost always on top or near the top of the scoreboard.  I'm retiring in 10,000 experience, and I just got to 2:1 K:D ratio.  Dropped my first 40 in a battle server the other night.

Kills/Deaths:1404/689, 2.0:1

Strength:18
Agility:18

Polearm:140
Throwing:54

Weapon Master:5
Athletics:6
Riding:6
Iron Flesh:3
Power Strike:6
Power Throw:3


My K:D would have been better, but this gen for some reason i went to like 15 agility before I started getting strength, so that fucked me over pretty good.  Normally if I go 12 or 13 STR and then dump into AGI before going back to STR then I usually do better early in my gen.  This will also be my last retirement.

Recreate your poll to reflect better the playerbas KD. There is a lot of players that have a kd in between 2.0:1 and 2.5:1
I also believe that most people that post on this forum are also the most dedicated players. The players with lower kd's invest less time in this game and thus wont be interested in visiting the forum imo

also kd is a bad way to show player effectiveness. I believe all range, and in a lesser extent xbows, dish out their damage accross the enemy team. Even though they dont get the kills on the scoreboard the damage they'v inflicted accros the board and softening up the enemy for the melee plays a very important role not reflected by kd.
I would take the example of Bulzur a very good archer who is an effective support but has got an average kd of 1.1

And i know a bit by experience by throwing jarids, in one round having all my jarids hit their targets and hear people whine about it and still have zero kills with my jarids.

Post by: Angellore on July 17, 2012, 06:10:54 pm
What level were for those k:d
Level 30-31-32 with both. Those were reskilled characters, so I skipped leveling them, it's too boring for me to play 1-30 all over again.
After playing Mauler, at lvl 32 I reskilled 2 times (tried 2 different lancer builds), so I went back from 32 to 30 again.
Those are stats of my current lancer build, first one had around 3.0 K:D rate (don't remember exactly), but current one is much better.

If you want a good ratio you can easily get one. If you don't care it will be much worse.
So what is the purpose of the K:D ratio really? IMO it's almost totally irrelevant.

I have 3 characters that I mainly use, so I will post all 3 of them.

FrugFrug_MB: Level 26  226/136, 1.7:1  (21/12 polearm build.)

FFC_Frugboat: level 30  576/364, 1.6:1  (15/24 agility 2h)

Owl_Beard: level 30  370/297, 1.2:1 (15/21 foot/horse archer using a shortbow only)

Not great, but I like higher agility builds so I have to hit people x2 as much and I die x2 as fast. (I only use light armor)

My stone throwing gens normally ended with like 350 kills and 300 deaths.

Post by: Bryggan on August 05, 2012, 08:05:19 pm
I made this poll not because I wanted to know how cool people were, but because I wanted to see what skill level of players went on the forums.

Apparently only approximately 15% have a negative KD rate.  As we know from ingame at least 3/4 of players die more than they kill, so therefore the 85% of the people that voted positive KD rates only represent 25% of the players. 

This means the forums are not a good representation of the cRPG players, and the devs should keep that in mind.  The silent majority out there are the sword fodder who ceaselessly play, dying time after time after time and getting quite excited when they actually get a kill.  All the people who bitch and whine here should be ignored, especially all those who threaten to quit.  One less uber-hero would make the game a lot more fun for everyone, as there is less chance of getting 2 spam hit instadeath, whereas losing an easy-to-kill crappy player would take a lot of joy from the many, many players who can only kill the easy-to-kill crappy players.

So Devs, please cater to us losers.  We make the game.  Thanks

Wrong. People have alts, don't forget that.
And as I said previously, you didn't take that into consideration when making the poll.

As we know from ingame at least 3/4 of players die more than they kill, so therefore the 85% of the people that voted positive KD rates only represent 25% of the players.

Not entirely false I guess. People like to think they are better than they are in general and as such they vote for the option represeting their highest K:D ratio character.

Bryggan I agree with your premise, the opinions on the forums are from maybe 5-10% of the overall population that play c-rpg (if I had to guess).  I'd say that's about average for most games and their forum/community.  Most of the people who play the game, aren't posting on the forums.  Most of the forum posters are people who are at work and should be working, or otherwise somewhere they can't actually play the game, but are trying to kill some time.

Please don't tell my boss.

Same with me. He will get mad :[ I don't wanna get another write up :/

First Generation/Level 25/2H who blocks poorly. It got better when I started to turn around once a while and intercept incoming cav or to check if I wasn't charging into 5 enemies by myself.
