Dust 2

[Jason]

Anyone else here think the dust 2 sever would be more fun without hlstats?
Like what if you played dust and your score was just your score each round?

I know some people don't care about hlstats ranking so maybe those people won't mind if its gone

I'm only talking about Hlstats on dust 2
Not firefight or rotation
I'm not suggesting anything here just looking for feedback from you guys.

I've thought about that too Jason. Dust is nothing more then Insurgency's Wild Wild West.

I'm curious to see what everyone else has to say.

 

[gruta]

i like stats on dust2, for me you guys should keep it.

 

[#Krazy]

Jason, ye i agree, they should get rid of it.

Pretty much anything that happens on dust I could care-less about. Personally I never check my stats on any server so I don't know what it would matter either way.

Like many people I would guess, Dust is where I go when I either just have a few minutes for a couple rounds of play. Or I just feel like fraggin some folk.

My current rank is 5,493 because of dust2. With that being said I really don't look at my rank very often.

Pros - More admins on Dust2 because more experienced players don't like their rank dropping when the play dust.

Cons - I think the server rank may drop. There are plenty of 24/7 Dust2 servers out there that would love to take over the #1 spot.

I agree with burt on this. It's a double edge sword.

I guess we have to ask our selves, "is having the server rank drop worth our Personal scores?"

Perahps a plug in that removes Tking....??? Might solve both problems.

Just a thought.

i dun like hlstats on dust 2

 

[Jason]

I doubt the ranking will drop because not sure if you guys remember a few months back when hlstats was down for like 2 weeks people still played on the server.

Removing tk's won't be Ins
Most the points you lose in Dust aren't from tk's but from exit campers and rpg spammers

The ranking system is something that everyone likes for the most part but for people like me and death blade we can easily go in dust and just destroy people all day long and be at the top of the list for each round but we still lose massive amounts of points in hlstats so even though you're winning in game your a lossing at the end of the day overall.

I think without hlstats more skilled players and admins will join the server instead of the crazy people that love dust now!

 

[Netsky]

i am doubting, for the topplayers removing hlstats will surely be a good thing but for the mediocre players it could feel like their losing an extra dimension to the game, i am going to agree with what burt reynolds and icegladiator wrote. don't get me wrong i am pro but not for 100% i still have my doubts if the general public is going to like it.

 

[PIMP DADDY SMURF]

I LOVE THE IDEA !!

I would like to try it out and if we get a negative response from the public then just put'r back on! :biggrin:

Couldn't hurt.

Is there a way to make it end user choice? Leave the stats but allow people to select (with some !___ command) whether they want their kills (and as such, deaths) to count towards or against their score. Ofcourse, if you have it on, you get points for killing people with it off as well, they just wouldn't lose any points .

Quite honestly, I can work hard for an hour, gain hundreds of points, and then go to dust and lose them all in a matter of minutes (I had to rage quit over some total noob getting 28 points for RPG'ing me in spawn a week or so ago. This is the kind of crap that has really made me not care about the stats anymore {compounded with the fact that you can kill 8-12 people on a good streak, then die once and be in the red points wise...}, but I still refuse to give my points to some nubs like the above mentioned example).

 

[GoldenPSP]

I guess i am too much of an old fart, but who cares about your score in a game like insurgency?

In dust i just play for fun. In other servers my score is less important to me than my teamwork.

I can understand scoring in other games a bit more, like TF2. but not INS.

 

[IceGladiator]

The above comments are true, But We hold rank 1 in the servers. We never have to get that server started. My concern is that if we take it off, we drop in rank*, then put it back on. Now we have to get it back to 1.= say good bye to your scores.

ROLLS The DICE.


(*side note if we drop in rank, we might have to fill that server as well.
It takes us a while to fill 2 servers let alone 3. Then throw Rnl into that mix....)

I'm okay if we do this. Just worried about the risks

or give the option of hiding the scores from showing up. so they are still technically getting calculated but it's just not showing unless you choose to hide or unhide figures

 

[Kryptonian]

I dont like it either. :/

 

[extremelyhotsauce]

I ABSOLUTELY HATE HLSTATSX! for some reason I had a score of 1,600 one day. And JUST my luck the marines had 4 or 5 people with 200-1000 scores. It took me 12 kills to get as much as one guy got from killing me (25 points) and this was like at 6 in the morning or so. I ended up going from 1600 to 1200. I dont really care but its the sight of seeing your points go down so quickly makes you think "I am going stink ALL DAY". See how you think affects how you play, once your down you just keep going DOWN AND DOWN AND DOWN and it takes a few rounds to get out (or a good camping spot ) I say no more hlsats. But what if it affects server rank? I like the number 1

You can choose to make it not show up but points will still be gained/loss

How bout, just for the hell of it, make the point modifiers WAY HIGH so like scores are in the 10,000s not 1 thousands lol.

Mildhotsauce got 60 points for killing "joo are a nub" and 25 points for headshot. or Mildhotsauce got 100 points for god like

Maybe we can make it some seperate stats system on dust, and it would only matter on dust.
