No this inst a complain thread about no stats.

 

However with an effort to get more interest for the ladder iv been posting the ladder news around the BF2 community and some respected clan site's.

 

I feel that if it was ranked again more ppl would take interest and learn to play then once they learn they'll understand stats don't matter.

 

But its one of the only ways i can see new players taking interest.

 

What do u guys think?

Well I definitely agree that the stats would entice the newer players, and I found them useful in terms of identifying newbies (to help them, of course)... As far as I know, the stats were never the cause of the crashes, since it was a memory leak that was identified as the culprit. I'd put up my hand and give +1 votes to the stats, trying to hold on to some of the vanilla converts.

 

That being said, I don't want to make any more work for kinsman, as he's been an absolute saviour to us, and I don't want to push him away with whiny requests... especially if the crashes start again... he'd probably pwn us n00bs

I just hope the annoying non teamwork stats whores don't come back if they rank it.

Thats my worrie

 

Us regulars will have to be ready to TMR(trouble maker report) the guys who stuff about. so that new players don't get scared of

Personally I absolutely hate stats, I hate hearing about them, I hate seeing them, I hate them being mentioned.

That being said, I don't dislike or have anything against ppl who like them.

 

I sort of see stats as a way for cheats to pat themselves on the back,

What I mean is, ppl (if you can call them that) buy cheats to kill all the n00bs and get good stats,

so for me taking away one of those things makes it (in my mind) a little less enticing for ppl to cheat.

I'd be a lot happier about stats if they only covered certain things ie accuracy, time played etc.

 

Hey maybe my thinking is flawed, but it's just the way I think.

I also find it very annoying when ppl gloat "look at my stats" as if stats are some sort of gauge as to how good a player you are.

(which BTW has nothing to do with how good a player you are but is actually a gauge as to how long you have been playing)

 

Anyway enough about my thoughts of stats (which probably no one cares about anyway)

The stats will eventually be put back on (I think) it's just a matter of kinsman getting the time to do it,

as Psyrus said kinsman is busy, PR is certainly not on the top of his "things to do list"

and with all the work he has been doing for us lately it might just be better to let things settle for a while.

 

Give it time chaps, things will back to 'normal' soon enough

We have player "ranks" within the servers. Click the server banners and you get transferred to a magical page that has player rankings. You don't get much info, just how many points you've earned and the time you've played.

 

 

For the lazy people Server 1 ranks:

I like the ranks too but I really don't care all that much. Would be nice to see who the newer players are at a glance though.

 

Blacky, if that was the case why all the hacks in CS? There are not stats other than server stats there.

 

Also, some stats to indicate talent. A good K/D ration does say something and it can help you improve as a player. I can use myself as an example, I sometimes have a lousy K/D ratio because I get impatient and rush in without thinking. To improve it I take my time more and take a good look at things before I charge on in.

 

Stats are not the be all and end all but they have their uses for some people such as myself. You will not see me brag over my stats, I'd rather teabag someone I pwned.

I know what u mean Ablack Thats how i feel.

But me trying to get this ladder to work would help if there was reward for ppl to play PR.

Honestly we should all be doing a little bit to try get this ladder of the ground.

Iv been around for a long time and seen things like this come and go.

 

Tell your clan's

Post it in gaming forums

Yeah yeah, not the point though

 

 

Well I wasn't sure what the point was. He wants "ranks", but for the ladder?

 

Does that mean he wants a POINTS TABLE? You get points for winning and losing?

 

People need to word their sentences better.

No not stats for ladder match's that doesn't matter.

 

Stats to bring ppl into PR so they learn to play. instead of coming in and holding of entire teams by teamkilling them all.

We need more ppl to take interest So this ladder works i think.

 

For some reason players really like stats (god i'm sick of typing the word)

So you want stats to attract people so they realise that you get more points for doing team orientated things rather than just killing people?

While it may bring players in, what type is where the risk lies. You cant force someone to play as part of a team. Maybe give it a go, then analyse the results, and make a final decision

yes so they realize thats its about getting the job done as a team.

Not by taking a tank to the nearest spawn lol

 

InfidelKiller This is to attract ppl into PR. If they don't wish to play as a team they wont like the game. Also they wont be asked to participate in ladder match's.

You are right.

 

That was the original reason for us having stats at all.

It was something GSA wanted as part of our use of their servers.

However, as we have been over many times, they had to be removed as part of rooting out the server stability issues.

 

They will be back, as we have stated before, but we cant promise when.

There is always a list of things that need to be done, and less and less time to get them done.

 

Thanks for the suggestion.
