Assists, assists, assists

[Overdriven]

Can we just do this already? I'd love to know why it hasn't been done. So many threads have been made about it, and I'm just making another one because it's a good idea.

Is it actually possible to do?

As much as people on this forum make the scoreboard sound like your boosting your own ego, everyone cares a little bit where they are on it and anyone who denies this is just outright lying.

Assists could work that if you damage a player and someone else kills them, you get 1 point. You don't get more points for damaging that person more than once if another kills them. Possibly make kills count for 2 points to compensate.

Horse kills/damage should not count (hordes of people rushing to damage a horse).

This would actually reflect well on support classes and classes which go a long way to helping the big hitters get the kills. I also think it would help the rage that happens after nerfs a little bit. If your getting points even for doing a bit of damage, then it won't quite be so annoying if something like a damage nerf occurs.

Basically would actually just love to hear something proper from a dev about this. Because it's cropped up as a suggestion for as long as this board has existed.

I'm gonna keep bumping this till I get a dev reply!

it would be cool to see stats like

-Dehorsings
-Damage dealt
-Kill Assists
-Accuracy
-Block accuracy

Conversely, get rid of K:D. Anyway here's a few issues:

1) Over kill exists [ie, not all hits are important->Simply hitting somebody is not important]
2) Taking a blow [blocked or not] in place of an ally, allowing them a free hit, and he kills an enemy, that is pretty big assistance
3) Dehorsing somebody and having a team mate kill them when they're down is pretty big
4) Holding attacks to force a block is useful
5) Forcing a shielder to ping pong is also very useful

If you need a score to tell you how well you're doing, something's wrong.

Ignored.

Why would you need this?

If you've not been sleeping it's pretty easy to figure out what you've done for the team without a scoreboard telling you.

tracking the damage pple did would be too taxing for the servers iirc,  causing lag and nakid male dwarf group sex

Not really needed, you can already see who's doing good or not just by watching the play.

Because it's nice to see your name up there on the board.

I don't give a crap about 'figuring out what you've done for your team'. Pretending you don't like seeing your name somewhere decent on the board is a bit daft and overly righteous. Everyone does. And this applies for support classes as well.

Like I said...I also think it would help a bit for the rage in forums, because people would still stand a chance of getting a decent score. Because, lets be honest, that's why people rage, because if something is nerfed it reduces their chances of doing that, no matter how much they still help their team.

ofc it would be nice seeing implimented.  actually have some archers up there n shit.  but i dont think it can be done for a reasonable coding investment

That was what I was curious about though. Because I don't think I've ever actually seen a dev comment on this suggestion. Just hoping one will!

LOL.

I don't give a crap about where I end up on the board. What I care about is how well I play, and how I can improve.

And I get enough satisfaction from knowing that I saved my teammate with that crucial hit or that dehorse. I don't need a scoreboard to tell me/the rest of the world that.

Is this some kind of facebook mentality or what? 

"Hey, hey, HEY! I just took a shit and I was SOOO drunk! Liek plz!"

Come fucking on.

I know most of the good players in EU and that is not by their scoreboard or flashy K:D ratio.

I hate to say it dezilagel, but I have a feeling the reason you don't give a crap is because all to often you're near the top. I've rarely seen you in even the mid-bottom portions of the scoreboard. But most people do care. If you look down on it then fine.
