My performance rating is 1.
I couldn't give less of a fuck about the number, but tonight I got kicked off of a strat roster that I had been on since yesterday with less than an hour to go before the fight (and believe it or not, I could have done other things with my time if I hadn't been planning on this). Pretty annoying.
Anyway, the official reason for this timely booting was my low performance rating. Can someone explain to me how this number is derived?
I've been in 10 strat battles to date. 3 had no one show up (and thus my K/D was 0:), so really, I've been in 7.
My KDs, if you care about the details:
First fight ever, 3:19. We were 420 against 1914. They had about 8 more people sign up than we did. About half of these deaths were spawn-camping in the last few minutes.
Second fight, 4:7. Numbers were the reverse of the first set. I had a vague idea what I was doing this time. Probably level 20?
Third fight, 1:11. This was an EU town defense that I signed up for, not knowing what I was getting into. Peasant slaughter. Had to use a broken sickle the whole time.
Fourth fight, 23:34. On an offensive siege team of 1504 vs. 2320. Easily did better than half of my team here. Ended up thinking "wow, I'm getting better at this".
Fifth fight, 14:30. Field battle, attacking 2200 with a team of 1505. Again, did better than half of my team.
Sixth fight, 20:36. Defending against superior numbers. Yet again, better than half of my team.
Seventh and final fight to date, 13:32. Defending a town with inferior numbers. Once again, nearly half of my deaths happened in the last 2 minutes after we ran out of gear and got spawn-camped.
tl;dr, total ratio is 78:169, and about 30 of those deaths are from bullshit situations that must happen to everyone (running out of gear and having the spawn camped).
Now, that ratio is way, way better than my regular CRPG rating (where I play naked) which is 23/105.
So why is my "performance rating" so low?
I absolutely must be better than many, many other players I see out there. I mean, in half of those fights I did better than most of my team, people get lower K:Ds than me all the time, and to top it all off my "score" (whatever that means in the end) is usually equal to people with far greater K:Ds than me to begin with, thanks to my occasional throwing and penchant for assists.
How do I avoid this situation in the future (having my night wasted with no notice), short of getting a much better rating (which won't happen if I can't get into fights to improve it)?
EDIT: Just want to add that I've found 2 people already, who were in most of those battles, that had worse KD ratios than me and yet have a rating of 4. What am I missing here?
