i know we've seen this thread time and time again...but i wanted my turn at it...i hate the fact that i can have a good night and give away almost 300 points...its rediculous...there has to be a better way than to bleed the higher ranked players dry because someone with ronpaul hax who happens to be a noob to our servers dominates everyone all night...

end rant...

thanks for reading...
 
Yea i know what you mean i also dont like the point system.

There is so much more fun without the point system, the time that the point system fell off proves this. It was for only 30 minutes or something, but everybody had so much more fun.
And when the points came back everybody was so much more serious. We should have a system that gives 2 points per kill and 2 points lose if you die.

I dont think leadership would do this but I think a lot of our members would we happy with it.
 
Guys....

We have seen countless threads on the point ranking system for DoD. I'm sure similar feelings are felt in other divisions. I just haven't paid as much attention to them as DoD in the past.

We use HLsX stats. It is something we did not design. In terms of points awarded, it might be a slightly broken system. O well. How would you like to design and implement a stats system? I think that would be difficult and more time consuming than necessary. Also, a self-made system would become too cumbersome to update with bugs, etc. We don't get paid around here to game, so having something else probably isn't practical. HLsX is one of the best systems out there.

My advice to you is to hide the points from showing up when you play. You can do so by using the HLsX menu. Try it. You might be surprised how little then you care about dying. While I understand human nature to be competitive, please consider trying. You might be happy that you do.

While in-game in one of our servers:
1) Input in all chat (y is default) hlx_menu
2) You will see a box pop up on the left side of the screen
3) Press 9 for Next
4) The list of things will change.
5) Press 1 for Console Events
6) The list of things will change.
7) Press 2 for Disable Events

This progression should disable the point ranking from all deaths and kills from ever showing up in all our servers. At least it will disable them for DoD:S. You might need to do the same for the other games too. I haven't checked that out. Hope this helps, and let me know if you need clarification.

I have this binded and never rage anymore, that is if I'm playing in Avalanche. Noobs with ronpaulhax don't show up there very often.

So, come to avalanche to keep your points.. unless blue steath, spray, stringman, or myself are there :D
 
Yes, hlx_display 0 accomplishes the same thing. I want people to understand that the hlx menu can be useful. It gives you alot of stat info if you want to look at it.
 
i know that its not something that we can change...just ranting a bit...i do have the stats turned off when im in game and it definately helps out a lot as far as gettin angry in game goes...but again...just wanted to let off some steam...
 
alright sounds good, i stoped playing with points along time ago... i never had fun.
 
# well for me its not only about having fun :) but also getting better :D .. but of course having fun count a lot :D but with the hLxstats it helps me getting better cause im playing more serious .. and having fun at the same time :D
 
I don't really care about the whole point factor. I've been playing Avalanche for years, and i still manage to overdo it on the ladder and die. The way I see it, if anything, is I'm ranked 2,357 out of 122,691. That puts me behind 2,356 and infront of 120,334 other players, which I think is pretty good. I have a hard time having fun if I even start to bother with my points. Plus it leaves me in a position to get 25 points off of most of you! :)

Does this have to be entered everytime a person enters the server or is this a permanent thing until you reverse it?

it lasts, and your page on the stats website will be full of redacted lines until you undo the command
 
You guys interested should look into the hlx_menu command input in all chat. You can honestly get better stat info there and you can check things without having to go to the website.
 
Well by now the point system is more of a joke. The thing is the more points u got you'll bleed them while u are playing. I for one was 7.9k last week now I am 1,000 down b/c it's like 11-25 point take away if u get killed by a 1k-5k point player. But hey think about it, it's just a game. I for one have now come to appreciate that fact by playing with everyone who comes to play on the Flash server.

P.S. If u want to bleed high point players just mel?e them.:)

Agreed. Dont care much about points overall, since I wanna play for fun, not work for stats, but stats can be amusing. I like seeing weapon stats personally, thats my favorite deal, seeing how good I am and how good others are with a particular weapon.

I made it over 8800 about 20 minutes ago from 8711 when I started on Kalt. I finished 8,723. 62 and 30 or whatever it was and it only got me 12 points at the end.

I dont know if its possible to change the values of stats, but I think 1 point per kill makes sense, no matter what rank you are. Flag caps get twice or more. If it was possible make winning a round 10+ points as a reward since thats pretty tough.
