Something that would be cool for the Stats website

Post » Thu May 19, 2011 5:06 am

The Stats website is nice and all.
But it feels as if there is something missing there.
What if we could have a photo of our Brink character on the Stats website, not a photo taken by ourselves but rather by the website.
And what would be even cooler if we could select different poses for the character in the photo and that we could save these photos as JPG, PNG and other image types.
This would be especially great for the console owners that don't have a proper camera and want to show their character to all their friends that don't have the game.

You know what else would be nice? A STATS WEBSITE FOR THE PC! Or, a game that doesn't crash to desktop in between maps or a game that doesn't svck ass on 1/2 of ATIs video cards, or a game without font, sound, enemy model, balance issues. I've been a staunch defender of this game for the last month, but my faith is starting to waiver.

The stats site is obviously an afterthought. I mean it only tracks Freeplay matches but it still includes private matches in your stats. It won't even count your Campaign, even versus, stats in your totals. Worse yet if you leave a game it doesn't count towards your total. You literally have to finish the game to have it count so even if you join a game with a minute remaining and finish it that will count in your total but if you play a game for 15 minutes and (rage?) quit, then it doesn't count. This also means that your average experience per game is largely skewed since you almost never get into a game at the start (lobby system plz). Why they didn't use experience per minute is beyond me and only shows how poorly the entire site was designed.

Add to that the way that Brink randomizes which team you are placed upon and who cares about the 'Battle for the Ark'? It's not like you can fight for Security of the Resistance in any meaningful way. As others have stated you can have up to 10 characters but there is no way to individually track stats between them. Add in the numerous technical issues with the site that have remained unresolved (I am still unable to properly login despite reporting the problem last week) and who really cares about the site? Don't worry though, they plan to have clan support by the end of this summer. Shouldn''t that have been done by launch? Seriously, the entire site is pointless.
