This point system is entirely unfair. It's like Tiger Woods getting an 18 handicap because he is playing a new course. I see EGO members leave the game when new players come on-line. This also causes poor game behavior (extreme camping). Can you make the point system fair or do away with it all together. Players in my old server complained all the time...they lost players and eventually closed
 
Best advice I can give is play for fun and not for points. People who have put in many hours playing understand that points do not equal skill level. I have a decently high point total but there are many players will lower totals that are definitely more skilled.

This ^. Crom is completely right. Lost 500 points today. Still gonna keep on playing. Love me some DoD:S :)
 
Points are useless, I know it might look good if you got a high amount of points, But it really doens't matter, all players that regularly play on our servers probably know that you are a skilled player.
everyone knows that if you have a high amount of points you lose 20/25 points to an new player, and you need like 10/13.00 kd to win only those points back from them.

There is a command in-game to turn the point system off ( vissually ) so you don't see the loss of points every time you get killed.
 
It's a lot more rewarding to just play the game, get some kills, cap some flags and get a win. The actual points numbers are meaningless really, at the end of the day.

You have quite a lot of points and a very good K/D ratio, which I think is more impressive on this game than points.
 
Points Doens't mean anything, The !up's you get by being a well known player or just by being freaking awesome in our servers is worth mutch more =D =D
 
Theres a point system o.o? I just go and kill the enemy. I've been playing the game wrong oh rip me. Will try hard and play for points! #tryhard

Honestly my way is more fun. Then again what i know... I just collect hats and give "hugs" here and there when i game in eGO.

:thumbup:As the best player on the server hm hm I hate the points ,it does not make you a good player just because your points are high, just encourages cheating and camping. I totally forget the points and have a good game every time I am playing. I would like to see the points gone then perhaps we could all enjoy the game. :thumbup:
 
second best player london..get it right.. anyway guys..as the best playing in dod history, I would like to say my points go up and down but I always make it a challenge to find those higher points guys and kill them. ;)
 
To play devils advocate here for a second...

I turned off the points being displayed to me because it was very frustrating to lose so many so fast. I for one, kind of like the points. All who play with me know that I do NOT camp to earn points. After over 7500 hours of this game, I was excited to have a new goal. Something new to try for. It is not a measure of how good you are, I agree. But there is something to be said for trying to get them.

Its true, some may leave if they lose too many. I dont mind losing them, and I will tell you why. Losing many to one player means that we have new players coming in, and they, originally, have fun wrestling points away from me. I dont mind that, I !up them all the time, I try to be friendly, especially to the new players. That means they will return and this great game will continue to be supported by eGO. There is ONE thing that makes me leave. That is the damn prone assaults around corners, or just inside doorways. Nothing steams me up like freaking campers. Then look and POOF, there went 15 points to someone that in my opinion didnt deserve it. Not all the time does it affect me this way, but sometimes... I am guilty of raging to the belly crawling, corner camping assault classes.

For the most part, after paying attention to this same point system for years now, it works in peaks and valleys. I dont freak out when I lose 1500 points in a week. 2 weeks from then, I get them back without even noticing.

In the bigger picture, its the little things that bother me sometimes.

Sorry for rambling,

Q
 
A few rounds on anzio and some flag caps on mid, you will get them all back in 20 minutes!
 
I hate to admit I used to let the points get to me, but the truth is if you're good and getting frags your points will go up. I agree with you to an extent that the points encourage some lamer playstyles but that's dods in general
 
I completely understand your frustration with the points. The higher you go up, the harder it is to maintain your point position. You can have a 2:1 ratio and still be losing mega points. It becomes a true challenge to maintain your rank, playing against mainly new (low point) players who may or may not camp.

In my experience, you either become good at averaging 2-xx kills per death, or learn how to be effective with the MG, or jump on when the server is packed with eGO guys.

I also think that eGO members leave in mass to join DODs events (most don't care about points).
 
I should pull up Kendle's thread on people complaining about HLX points. Play for fun, we do not care about the points.
 
Here you go. One of the good ones.

HLStatsX has NEVER had a program "update" which changes points.

HLStatsX will REMOVE your 29th day of data completely.

HLStatsX will REMOVE your 29th day of play completely.

HLStatsX doesn't remember, doesn't care, and already deleted your 29th day of data.

HLStatsX will NOT retain more than 28 days of player data.

HLStatsX CANNOT be updated to retain more then 28 days of data.

HLStatsX weapon points modifier has NEVER been changed from default.

HLStatsX weapon points modifier will NEVER be changed from default.

HLstatsX action points have NEVER been modified

HLstatsX action points will NEVER been modified

HLstatsX configuration has NOT changed in the past year of purchasing thier service. (Besides ingame point chat/text spam)

HLStatsX will NOT make your personal stats pretty just for you or any of your Steam friends.

If your in the Top 100 you are in the elite group and it can be lost in a matter of hours if NOT tended too. Get over it! It is a competition with over 500,000 concurrent users!

If someone told you that HLStatsX has changed they are wrong.

If you are telling people that HLStatsX on eGO has changed, please send Kendle a PM so he can happily ban you.

If you think HLstatsX is unfair, go elsewhere which is running PsychoStats so they can taylor stats to your personal needs. Make sure to send the request straight to the site admin for best results.

If you send Kendle a PM, bug in vent, send Edgegamers an email, place in the shoutbox, text my cellphone, or make a video blog about HLstatsX being unfair, suxorz, being modified, should be changed, configured wrong, or anything else regarding HLstatsX besides NOT WORKING you will be deleted from the database and never restored.

EdgeGamers will NOT use an alternate hacked up version of HLStats or other cheap imitation game/statistic program.
