i think and have asked a couple ppl that arnt in this clan about the point system and we just had a question on how the point system is fairly setup. i dont want to cause problems i just think it should be looked at because getting only 2 points for a kill and -25 for a death is sorta wrong... and unfair so i thought to rethink the point system. it is just my opinion i dont want to overstep my bounderies tho :(

plz state your guys opinion. thanks.
 
I really dont see a problem with it, if someone takes that amount of points from u, it means u have a lot more points thatn him, wich in that case ur a better player(skill), soo ull have the chance to make ur points back. When u start to give importance to such things, u miss the fun in the game. just my two cents.
 
ehh the point system is alright not the best though. when i kill i get about 3 to 7 points a kill but when someone kills me they get up to 10 to 25 points off me then if kill someone with the same amount of points ill get 7 points off them and if they kill me they get 14 points off of me. its a little uneven but i don't really mind it although it would be cool if they evened it up a little.

The point system kind of frustrates me as well, but I don't pay too much attention. I have the same issue. For example, tonight, I maintained a positive k:d ratio for hours and ended up losing about 300 points.

The only issue I see is that if you *want* a better score, the the stat system (imho) encourages camping and/or overly cautious play. Doesn't affect me though, because I just play the same way in spite of it. :D

Just concentrate on flag captures and helping the team. Points just get in the way when you're trying to have fun..
 
i have fun capture flags and teamplay but i still usually end with a 1.7-2.5 and still lose 200-300 points... which is annoying, but i deal. just have to get better i guess :)

his point would be like that a player who hardly plays on the eGO servers, or is trying it for the first time comes on and kills him, along with everyone else a lot...just because you don't have high points doesn't mean you don't match or beat the skills of other players all the time...it could mean you just don't play on the servers....but...i lose so many points a day that i really could care less...the current points system at least makes you strive to get better and not die...

I find that i don't really care about points when I'm talking and having a good time with my teammates...

Yeah , that too.:cool:
 
there have been numerous discussions on this. the point system works itself out in the end, it separates those who are way skilled from those who aren't so much. just think of it as a curve. I myself am not a proponent of it, considering i had a 3.0 ktd ratio yesterday and lost 400 points, but I am in agreement with the fact that it works.
 
My personal opinion is that the point system needs a major overhaul!!! Call me competitive but it is totally infuriating for a person who has a few points to roll me for 25 points with every kill. Take for example the other day I when I was playing; although I had a 2 to 1 kill to death ratio, several dominations, captured 10 flags, not to mention many double kills and even a mega kill… I lost 171 points because there were a bunch of newer players on the server. I would kill 4 players earn 10 points but get killed once and lose 25, capture a flag and kill 3 people to make up the difference I just lost on the last death and bang another death and 25 more points rolled off the top. Infuriating!!!!!! People wonder why I stay behind cover like I do, for one I think it would be very stupid on my part to dash right out in front of a machinegun or sniper especially because I do not have the zigzag skills that a lot of players have. I have tried it and it usually results in major point loss for little to no gain. I have found it wiser to choose my dashes very carefully and not blindly. Anyway I will step off my soapbox. Just my 2 cents worth from the peanut gallery.

once again, I will restate my point that the point system does indeed work. It separates the people who have the requisite amount of skill to keep their points up while playing the game from those who dont. Everyone gets rolled for 25 points a death after they have played for a while, the difference is if youre skilled enough to keep up with it.

i find that you gain points my not only keeping a good kd..but getting flags...which is hard to do in a full server...i usually gain my points late at night with 10-15 players on...which is easier to flank people and get flags....(snipers don't get flags much, wonder why...hmmmmm...:P)

you obviously dont play with me much, im usually at the top of my team in flag caps :)
 
that is what those points are when i die...lol i didn't know it was such an issue...lol, i like to give the killer a present, mostly a gernade but at least they get some numbers on their screen too! It is dod, play to have fun and aim to find one target for the evening, that will make it funner if you play against one person and not worry about the score they are numbers, just have fun.
