Day of Defeat points have been reset!

[Q-tip]

I kind of like when the points get reset. I will always try to climb, and I will always pay attention to where I am, although anything silly could NEVER determine my play style. Always have I rushed, took flags, pressed the action... I have capped the final point as a sniper more times than I could tell you. I finally cracked the top 100 and stayed there for a while, but so goes life. Time to make the climb again-

The points are fun to keep track of for some, others don't really care. Either way, the message is simple:

It's a game, albeit an older one, that is fun for all of us here. You wouldn't play in the servers or come in this thread to express joy or disgust if you weren't a fan of the game. Its meant to be fun. I am about to crack 8,000 hours, and I still love to play it.

Whether I have 56,000 points or 2,000, I will look to put a bullet in each and every one of you. I mean that with love...



Salute,

ps... I just checked... I have 8,171 hours of this glorious game

just a thought on what point should mean

You guys provided some very good points and made me think. many other points were clarified but I just wanna add my opinion on what points should mean I think it should reflect how much u contribute to your team I'm not talking about rank I'm talking about the point u get when u do certain things in game, killing enemy helps your team so u get point, players with higher points present relatively more threat to your team so u get more point capping flags are needed for your team so u get points but we don't want u to wait while enemy is taking your flag so that u can take it back later and gain points so we give point to u if u block enemy cap

yes I know what I said above doesn't really apply. I know many players don't even know if cap or block gives them points but still try to cap or block at the expense of their life(which they definitely know will cost them points) but there definitely are many players who care about points and they play the way they do to gather points, at the least point plays a big part in how certain players play and because of that I think point should reflect how much u contributed to your team, so that u can encourage the players who want point to act the way that benefits your team.

this is important because winning and losing definitely affects players' experiences if u are on the winning team some ppl camping doesn't really matter even though your 2 mgs are crappy like hell so what? we won! they wouldn't really care while they are winning(which means they lost the chance to fix inefficiency or play better but let's not talk about that right now) but once they start losing this will change I saw players blaming other players after losing(usually for camping and not moving up) so many times and they were definitely not happy and some of them even left.

if this server's goal is to help as many players as possible to have a good time so that they would play longer or comeback later(don't get me wrong hell lot of ppl including myself are having fun in ego servers what I'm saying is there can be more imo) slightly rearranged point(incentive) structure can help u achieve(or should I say overachieve?) that goal I think.

p.s. as for how to measure or digitize certain player's contribution to the team we really can't but I think we can make an educated guesses on which action usually help your team from our hundreds(if not thousands) of hours of playing. we can't have a perfect point structure I assume due to various limits but having better structure to encourage players to play the way that help your team better can be accomplished IMO

Just looked at the numbers for fun, since the reset 4800 people have logged some sort of positive point change (no idea about negatives). So evidently this game isn't dying quick haha

a. There will be another reset in July

When??? Everyone has thought it was the 1st of the month - Apparently not.

As of June 1st the GameME points on EdgeGamers three Day of Defeat: Source servers will be reset. This will give everyone a clean slate, and give our leadership team a better idea of who is actively playing on the servers. To add to the fun for you guys and gals, the top player with the highest points at the end of the month will win an eGO T-Shirt. This is your chance to take the top spot and wear your EGO pride on your sleeve.

Which day is the last day of the month at eGO?
