removing k/d scoreboard

[Torben]

my fellow fallen came up with a great idea in this thread:
http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/topic,16078.msg229041.html#msg229041  (how to not ruin cavs reputation)

If it were up to me I'd just remove kills from the scoreboard altogether and have only a website scoreboard of kills/deaths etc, but I know that wouldn't happen because there are too many players who want to flash their e-peen around on servers.

I would like to suggest only counting won and lost rounds,  not k/d ratio.  and putting the won/lost round ratio on display during battle.  this would highly foster team play and lessen e-peen induced dicketry.





k/d ratio could be kept for the duel server,  but won-lost rounds could be accounted for from battle and siege servers.

Btw : I agree with your suggestion.

I would prefer a small tweak to this:

A scoreboard that tracks only the following:
-Rounds won.
-Rounds lost.
-Team Kills.
-Team Killed.

At the very least do this for siege as kills should not matter there.

Uh, no?

Uh, no?

Seconded.

[Tears of Destiny]

Uh, no?

Opposed.

[Bjord]

Opposed.

Up yours, buddy.

But I want to flash my e-peen D:

I propose the scoreboard track only horse kills.

I like to know my K/D. not to say how great i am but to see if im improving. Everyone knows that KDR doesnt make you great as it doesnt count assists etc etc but its still nice to see

If kills don't matter, then why do you care? You can just ignore the scoreboard y'know.

This would do nothing to "lessen e-peen dicketry", it'd only make for more "I've killed more than you have!" "HAVE NOT!!!" "OMFG HAVE TOO I AM SO PRO"

This reminds of kindergarten running competitions where everyone gets a gold* medal, even the ones who were last.

i remember the thread and was all for it. however the complete removal of k/d would be a tweek to it that would for sure help the teamwork aspect.

i know about the thrill of stacking kills,  and i do like having high k/d ratio´s.  also,  the street credit and legend-status and most important personal knowledge of ones success would obviously be harder to achieve without this,  so i do understand the drawbacks. however i decided for myself that the gaming experience would greatly improve if people would start working together more.  this also goes hand in hand with a lot of other discussions,  like the suggestion balancing classes in a way to foster their abilities that work in a team and nerf there lone-wolf abilities

you are right,  this kindergarten crap can happen.  and  i obviously dont care enough about k/d,  otherwise i wouldnt make this thread. 

however i am hoping it to foster teamplay.  of course i dont know if it would actually help.

Yes, having wins vrs losses is much more beneficial. Also maybe include an overall team k/d instead of individual.
