ARCADE / POINT side of this game
« Reply #15 on: March 30, 2007, 04:16:27 PM »
I like keeping my score high(1500+). I just like bigger numbers better. Who wants to be a measley single digit?

Oh and it's funny when you get in a purse fight with someone, they look at your score, and want to DA. Then you own them and laugh.

travel in hordes and know how to manipulate the game you can get it down easy enough. If you dont get bored from trying first

Rankings here are totally misleading.

I think you should be able to pull your score from the board. Posted a thread in the wish list about that. Why not? I would do it since I dont look at it much anyway.

...agree with me !;)

That would be great !
Give the player the CHOICE of having your score displayed on the monthly scoreboard !
Appreciate all your input BUT would like to see what the TECH guys have to add.

POST a vote and see the results !

I WISH TO HAVE MY SCORES POSTED    YES or NO  ?

I wouldn't be surprised that 1/3 of all players would vanished from the score board.
By doing that, I'm sure IT WOULD ELEMINATE / PREVENT LOTS OF PROBLEMS when it comes to doing nasty things or saying immature comments towards another player !
Hey! ELIMINATE the scores/ranking for SQUADS !!
No more fighting / bad mouthing etc... !
One squad would challenge the other without knowing the ranking ! Go out and find out scenario !

I was a computer programmer for 10yrs and changing few software programs could be done to prevent the scores from showing up or simply bypassing the player's ID on the score board.
At each monthly start, a box would appear prompting you IF you wish or not to have your scores added to the scoreboard. Obviousvly your score would still be added BUT ONLY FOR YOU TO VIEW. This way you can print your chart and privately compare it with what's online. Anyone that you would KILL during battles, the defeated would only be able to say that you were damn good fighter ! ;)
Now for the posted player, BEWARE because he would know that there's pilots outhere with higher ranking scores ! That #1 posted player would be flying with a "low attitude" when SHOT down by this player with U/K scores ! That would stop the bragging for sure !

Hey HIGHT TECH GUYS !
Give us some input on this !!!!

Not complaining here !
I enjoy every minute when playing your game !

Not caring about your score should be synonymous to not caring what others think about it...




 EXACTLY!

Good point Moot (and others)   :aok

I agree completely !
But what I'm sayin' is that Im noticying that players do/say CHEAP SELFISH THINGS while playing the game !  Sad !
All because they want to be #1 or better on the scoreboard....
Accusations/poor comments and the snowball effect start flyin':(

Can't deny that seeing my own scores slowly climbing among other pilots makes me feel good. Signs that I'm improving. If I chose, those stats would be visible only to the player that requested his score not to be displayed on the board.

Not complaining in anyway. Just curious what kind of input I would get from other players.

Tks:aok

with all due respect, i honestly dont give a hoot. htc can rank me at 0.000001 k/d and i wont complain. i auger for fun, infact i am the auger miester! i check my score sometimes and usualy get 10 kills per hour or so and reasonable hit % but if i looked and it said 0 per hour and 0.01% i wouldnt enjoy the game any less

im sure there are a larger number of people who feel the same than you give credit for!

I agree. In most cases rank is completely meaningless.

If a top notch pilot comes on once or twice a month his rank will be way up there, well over 1000. Whereas a pilot who flys a lot will be ranked in the top 500. So ranking means nothing.

Seen and heard lots of good and bad !
Good & Bad players; sore losers; accusations; strange weird scenarios etc...
I'm enjoying the game very much !
HTC
:aok

I've noticed that some players do SAD things because of their RANKS/SCORES !:(
 
What I'm seing at this time is players being judged by others by looking at the ranks. If the pilot is good, "He must of been cheating !"
If the pilot as low rankings, "maybe I should wait before letting him in on the squadron..."
If the pilot is an TOP SCORING ACE, others will back out of a dual...

then what would most of the people on the bbs have to discuss?it would eliminate half the new topics
