please correct me if im wrong but the only stat that is any indicator of how well you play is the average xp and im sure mine has been killed from trying to find lag free games.

no K/D and no Win/Loss?

i understand they dont want to emphasize on K/D because it is a objective based game but the rest of these stats seem pretty meaningless since they just go up over time

so what is the point? i would like to see how well i play not how many (insert meaningless stat here) ive accumulated over time


(sorry i just realized i put this in the wrong section mods could you please move it)

"i understand they dont want to emphasize on K/D because it is a objective based game..."

I like to see k/d ratio as well but they don't want this to turn into another Shattered Horizon so there you go.

I agree, they should add more meaningful stats! It's good they keep K/D and all that stuff out of the game, like ingame.
But at least make it available on that site for the ones who are not afraid of it.

Pls stop this k/d whining, if your whole Team would only run for the objective you would loose every lalalala game. Kills are also needed like in any FPS. Yeah, it`s a Shooter therefore you`re shooting people to get to your objective.
And the stats self, nothing i would like to know and they`re to 90 % pointless. Just as unfinished as the game.

so you guys are [censored]ing because it doesn't show how many times you died? Thats [censored]. It shows how many kills you got in your recent matches and it shows total number of kills, I for one am happy with that.

Yes but it dosn't show a win/loss either. Compared to every other games stats site i've been on this one is by far the worst. I can get more in depth stats after a game on Bo then in their entire stat site

What was Shattered Horizon?

So bcos you cant see your K/D ratio that stats site is pointless? LMAO... K/D ratio means nothing, so why are so many people bothered about it
Im more interested in the weapon stats. so i can see which guns i do better with.

I could really care less about K/D it is nice to have to see if you are atleast holding your own in gunfights but I think you can tell that from playing the game.

What DOES bother me however is the lack of no W/L ratio or Objectives completed for each class. These things show how well you are at an objective based shooter and are needed for clan play and recruitment.

The objectives are there, you just are not looking in the correct place. Perhaps you should look under the abilities tab.

they should add stats such as.. HE's planted and.. intel returned..and hostages revived.. so on and so forth

its not just the lack of k/d its the lack of anything that would show how well you play other than avg xp

and K/D does mean something, its not everything but it does mean something

Readers are leaders.

just kinda thought this fit well here.....

Just finished a game as Resistance on Sec. Tower. We won after a long, hard fought battle.
I played as an operative the whole match and hacked the safe when it came time.

I spent most of my time throwing caltrops, spotting mines, hacking enemy turrets (I once had at least 3 maybe 4!),
clogging areas with sticky grenades and mayhem. Capped a few posts, firewalled them etc.
At times I had 3-5 enemies trying to chase me down instead of kill Nechayev. :hubbahubba:

Oh yeah, once in a while I had to kill someone who was in my way or had to defend myself and got the kill. :toughninja:
Right at the end I did jump on one of the MGs on the balcony and mow down ppl in the courtyard.

When the game ended, I had best overall and 10k+ points.
The guy who had the most kills was dead last with 3.5k :rofl:

I guess what I'm getting at is that kills help but aren't the deciding factor.

no it doesnt.. i could easily sit back nowhere near the objectives and get a few kills and no deaths..good K/D ratio. But it means nothing bcos i havent helped the team in anyway. K/D ratio's encourage selfish play, and selfish play gets you nowhere in Brink

My point exactly.

I understand the K/D ratio argument but do not say killing the other team does not help. I have never seen a dead resistance/security member complete any objectives. I wouldn't mind a K/D ratio count as long as kills continue to get a lot less XP than objectives & buffs.

This constant no K/D ratio & no team death-match spewing just makes you guys sound like Brink snobs. You guys should be embracing more popular requests because based on the this game's poor ratings & niche audience, you probably won't be seeing a sequel!

It was a pretty cool shooter. basically imagine your fighting in space with zero gravity, I enjoyed it but a bunch of people hated it.

here's how you can tell if you'd like it. Gun Recoil pushes you backwards.

wow it seems like people just see k/d and get on this pissy anti k/d trip

the bigger point here is that all the stats are just accumulated points, forget k/d what about win/loss or objectives per game or revives per game. or revives per death

it doesnt mean anything to have 1000 revives unless you figure in how many per game

also i dont see objectives under the abilities tab, i see abilities

I like things that are different so I think I woul like it!

the problem is that people like me who go for the objective can get terrible k/d - the fact we dont have k/d means people have no reason not to go for the objective. im very happy for it not to be tracked anywhere. the only real stat is win/loss. even accuracy is useless as some people empty clips by firing off the mag and some people actually give suppressing fire. stats pretty much ruin team based games. they are great for deathmatch but anything team related it is not good.

Brink is still a friggin shooter, I want K/D, I go for objectives and guess what, there's always an enemy team at the objectives. So don't give me that [censored] that people who like to shoot other people are just campers or not completing an objective. It is an 'FPS'!! People tend to forget that around here! If you don't like K/D or you're afraid or it gives you bad feelings in your tummy, than don't look at it, I think it's ridiculous to exclude it from a stat site. It's been like that in every other FPS, yeah Brink wants to be different but it does that ingame. A stat site is something completely different. What's the use of a stat site to have almost the same info as you have ingame. Yeah I know I revived 500 times or slided 10000 times. But I honestly don't know how much I kill / death, how much I win / loss. Those are stats which are interesting and might change your style of play.

DO YOU SEE WHY WE DON'T WANT K/D???

Knowing number of kills per MATCH, yes. But no K/D.

AS YOU JUST SAID... It will CHANGE HOW PEOPLE PLAY THE GAME.

It makes people IGNORE objectives and focus on KILLING, then on NOT DYING, _{then maybe do an objective if it's not too much trouble...}

It already tracks number of kills. Awesome. Now give us win/loss stats, and I'll be happy. So no, OP, I'm not totally against some stats that are "missing" being added. But there's plenty of reason why K/D is a bad idea in a game based on teamwork and objectives. I haven't been able to access the stats site yet though, so I'm not sure about some things. Does it track your average XP per session? If so, that's what I want to see most.

That's not exactly what I meant. I was talking about playing more carefully in my case, not going friggin Rambo style on every objective.
Or play a certain map different where you always seem to lose. I honestly doubt people who play this game, who go for objectives, will go to the stats site and see they have a low K/D, and decide to not go for objectives any more. That doesn't make any sense to me..

There is a K/D in MAG, there is far less help in that game to make people go to objectives. You all have to figure it out yourself and guess what. There is a lot more team play and objective based gameplay as in Brink. How do you explain that?

K/D does not decide how people will play the game. I have not seen one single game that proves otherwise. There is no K/D in Brink, well.. most matches I play there is no team play whatsoever. Yeah people go to the objectives most of the time, because of the linear game design it's almost impossible to not do that. K/D on the stats site (NOT ingame) will make no difference at all. Why are people so afraid? I just don't get it... :sadvaultboy:

I vote for K/D.

but going rambo is sometimes the only way. i was playing last night with a team of useless idiots lol. i maybe tried 20 times to open the safe and got killed every time. BUT i was eventually able to open it in overtime! each time i was killed i maybe did 3% of the objective. the thing is on some maps if you stay to fight off the enemy more respawn meaning you are just wasting your time. in this instance i would have a terrible k/d but i saved the team by myself (they were off running about not helping me). if people start looking at k/d they generally start being less offensive and going for easy kills than the important one. you might not but k/d shouldnt affect gameplay or your style of play. the team winning is the only consideration (apart from what class should i be)
