Player rankings/stats

I looked through the already suggested ideas and I don't think I saw this one. Anyways I've been wanting a way to see my overall stats, I've been playing for 3 years, and also a way to level up and your level to be displayed beside your name, which the level will be your overall level/rank and after every game you are rewarded xp for the score you have at the end of the game. This will give another aspect to the game for people to work towards as I find the majority of people like to work towards some sort of goal and the only current goal is winning.

 

This has been brought up in comments, but i don't think an actual thread has been made for it.

Anyway, the problem with this is, the current scoring system isn't set up to be tracked, as score isn't meaningful.

The only class that score really matters for is knights. Builders don't get score for building, archers don't get score for assisting/destroying buildings.

Thus, any sort of XP/stats tracking based off the current scoring system would be absolutely pointless.

 

I'm sure it wouldn't be that difficult to change that tho. Archers already get gold from assisting , workers get gold for building (CTF) so just apply those principles to the overall score.

 

The issue is balancing, what is assisting? What isn't block spam?

And I must say, winning the game is more important than k/d, score, and so on.
Builders are very good at saving the day, and archers are great at ruining days.
I don't know if knights really are on top when it comes to coin counts; I find that I have more coins at the end of the day as a builder. (Maybe that's because I'm not bleeding coins dying, and buying special ammo)

 

i think that's will be just horrible to create a fonction of stats in KAG, must be realllyyy difficult. and like said boea, the important thing is to win the game. but i will love to have general stats. how many player killed and how. some achievement but it's the same thing. would be easy for knight and freaking hard to make for archer an builder. if we wanted to do that, i think we need to change the game and i dont really want to change it just for stats.

 

Not really builders get kills from traps, they get coins from building shops and who would block spam to get a good score when you got the knight and all you would need to do to solve it is add a kick option for block spamming and if you would block spam it would be more efficient to actually build proper defense, on the other hand archer is good for capping and already gets coins from landing arrows (mentioned earlier) and it would make people try harder because we all know those people that swap teams just before they loss (i suppose this should be removed and changing team should only apply in the building stage) Anyway i'm only supposing this applies to official servers where there are more than a certain amount of people.

 

Builders get coins, not score. Spike traps don't credit their creator, saws do, but spikes do not. Builders get absolutely no score for placing blocks or doing any other building related task.

Again, Archers get coins for hitting/capping, not score. Coins and score are two very different things. Score is based entirely on your kill/death ratio, nothing else.

Unless the scoring system itself is completely remade, any sort of stats tracking is out of the question. It'd be pointless, and give credit to the wrong kinds of people.

 

As i said earlier all you would need to do is make the same principles for coins effect the score. Not that hard to figure out....The whole score system doesn't need to be remade just tweaked

 

just saying but how are you gonna make count the action of a builder who save his base, a builder who protected the base alone during the whole game, an archer who destroyed a complete building by itself or even a builder who digged a tunnel that made his team victorious that's really important action in a game and they need to be count if we had stats but how the hell can someone make a fonction to know if someone did this or not. this is way too complicated to make fonction for this.

 

It's definitely more complicated than just turning coins into score, as knights would still have an unfair advantage.

To make a fair, all class inclusive scoring system, there's a LOT of variables to consider, and it would actually be quite complicated to work out.

IMO, it's more effort than it's worth, and unless someone manages to do some of the groundwork with mods, I doubt the devs will show much interest in this.

 

yeah that's right, even if i think we all want stats. that's not worth it

 

It would be a nice thing to have stats that work, but getting it to work is the most questionable thing.

 

I've brought it up before. Never gave it much thought though.

You guys seem to be making this a bit more complicated than it needs to be.

If you want to add in rankings/levels there is a simple solution.

For levels, base it completely off game wins.

For stats, have each class have specific stats to be tracked. From kills to time played. Keep it simple.

 

Yeah. The problem with this is that you would have a lot of work to do to make this happen. It would likely have to be community made first.

I think your suggestion for it not to count unless 3 minutes had passed would work nicely, of course, providing that this even is done.

 

I never want global stat tracking in kag, ever. Ever. Last thing we need is for this game to turn into the ultimate killwhoring clusterfuck that is the Current Modern Game.

 

TF2's stat tracking system is a great middle ground for competitive and casual play. Something like that would be the way to go IMO.

(not talking about strange weps)
