Getting back on topic, do we really need more stats, I for one don’t even look at the one's we have, ok I look at the cash flow and maybe the flux kills if I know its getting close to a fluxing mile's stone, but then I have never played Jumpgate for the *ohhh look at me I have this or that* and I have this number of kills so you should all bow down to me as soon as I enter f5. Stats mean nothing to me.

I doubt im the only one and I know I wont be playing Jumpgate Evolution with any intention of becoming one of the many stat whoe’s that seem to think we need even more stats just to clutter up the front page of what ever we get with it, with any luck it will be tucked away in some obscure corner.

Lordopic, I agree that stats shouldn't be a way of determining uber-leetness. At the end of the day, they're just numbers, and are in no way indicative of how Pilot A's style truly compares to Pilot B's. The nice thing about stats is if you're looking for a few people to fly into dangerous space with, and you notice that one guy has virtually no deaths to players but is claiming that he's a PvP legend, then you can call him out a little bit on that.

Just cause you dont care does not mean everyone else doesnt.. you said you cared abit about flux kills.. Well someone else wants to be the richest, Algore wants to have most kills, I want to be good at something and compare myself with others and try to reach some goal. And you cant know that without stats.

Everyone or most people care about one of those stats.. And we are all different so yes, stats do matter, its a type of Grind in Jumpgate. And Jumpgate needs grinds to keep players like vorlon with 150000or something flux kills..

Actually I played Face of Mankind, its a type of MMOFPS. But it has no total stats for kills or deaths. .People who couldnt fight poopy got reputation of the best fighters, because they bragged so much.. And forums were filled with, OMG we mercs OWND ur LED(cops) ASS.. We were like 4 and u had hundreds and we killed u all.. you want that LORDO!!!! ==???? ANSWER ME!!



edit: lol poopy? what kind of dukie is that.

Stats matter and total kills - k/d ratios etc. matter a whole lot to PvPers. As I recall my fellow combat pilots and I liked to say we didn't care about Kill/Death ratios but in reality we all did, very much. I was always scanning stats of people and squads I came up against in combat. The bottom line is someone with a lot of kills and a great kill/death ratio was usually a very dangerous opponent and it was good to know that. I wouldn't mind more types of kill stats at all.

Lordopic, I'm not a PvPer, but I'm human enough to want to measure myself against other folks. That's what stats are for IMO.

I'll never make the leader board for kills, but I'm in the top 100 current pilots in a couple of other stats. It makes it a little easier to stand the fact I suck at PvP, but that's just me. I can stand not being the best at ANYTHING as long as I can be at least GOOD at a couple of things.

Thats what she said

[GrimGriz]

Credit value for stuff burgled would be awesome. I knew this one guy, he burgled like...49 intimidators or something. It was hawt.

[DynamiK]

No stats for killing civs?? Does that mean I wouldn't get a kill credit for killing a civilian who attempts to collect my bounty??

[ELPIRATA]

Indeed. I was wondering who in their mind would bump and old thread..... but now I get it, a deranged person only would

ELP

[DynamiK]

Bah.. well I only had like 100 of those or so.. I think..

A good idea though .. i dont like my Pedalchrashs being displayed ... for some serious kind of reason my tow gets gravitated towars them.

[Chaser]

well, if we all get what we want, there could be a lot of diferent stats. Miners wnder who mines the most XXX ,pvpers wander who kills the most pvpers...so the stat list could go on and on..and we'd all have the same rights to ask, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see what they come up with as a good round average for us all.

[Wild_Bill]

Chaser, what would be even better is a customizeable list of stats. All the info should be available, we could just pick and choose which ones we wish to display on our computers.
