Well, if good is gauged by how much you play, then there will be a'lot of good players. Not many people sub a game they won't utilize. You guys don't think a rating system based on overall performance is a good idea? Is that purely from the fact it is a large scale battle where teamwork is key? Cause there's another thread specifically for rewarding War Council members ( or rather, " what " they would get ). I don't really like the idea of 1 person in 100 gaining the credit for 99 other very skilled players. Imagine if they had an average kd/r of 35 or something hectic, and the War Council leader gets all the glory, cause KD/R doesn't matter. Then he gets all the achieves you can, + More, because he is special. " I kicked out terrible players and only engage in encounters i know my team can benefit from ". Sounds like a modern concept if ever i read one.
K/D ratio is still a horrible idea, as discussed in another thread. It won't fit the game, and apart from that, ratios shouldn't be involved in achievements. It would make the achievements way more "epic" if you've actually had to do something for it, and then get rewarded by your superior.
the K/D ratio would have to be a a factor in any ladder or leadership poll. you don't want shit players that are level 40 only cos they have play 5x longer then you but cant last 5 min in a fight getting voted in to a leadership roll.
Sure. I want them to get voted. And, from playing much organized PS2, leaders actually don't really fight most of the time, they rather look at the map, ask for SITREPs and stuff like that to coordinate the others.
K/D ratios should be an indicator on whether a player is effective as a warrior but, there should also be specialist, ratios, heal/death ratios - for medics - combatkill/death ratios, rangedkill/death ratios etc. As I have said earlier there should be race specific achievements for killing people from certain races or factions, healing achievements, speed, achievements etc. so that you have to be skilled at the what you are, people who play more will have more time to perfect their character, but skilled people wouldn't need to train as much, to even this out their should also be achievements for play time. There are many possibilities!
I'm fairly certain they won't be bringing in K/D ratios, just overall kills from another faction. K/Ds can have too negative an effect on a community.
I think achievements for killing races is something thats in most MMORPG's (I know RPG isn't this genre) I assumed them sort of achievements would be in for this game...They could even have some for killing a faction The certain achievements for titles is also something I thought would be in the game. Maybe they could have small buffs like Aion had. Where a certain title may give you a very minor stat boost to a specific stat. For example they could have a Juggernaut achievement that you get from say taking a certain amount of damage in one life and if you were to use that title, You might get a tiny buff like "Hp increased by 10" or something like that. In saying that, The downside would be if you wanted to use a certain title but it didn't have useful stats for you then it would sort of suck. BUT in saying that! the buffs would be so minor that it wouldn't make that much of a difference lol
