BGoat The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 61	Posted - 2013.08.20 07:11:00 - [1] - Quote The Problem In it's current form, the global player KDR board (and the corporate KDR board to a lesser extent) are virtually useless to all but a miniscule portion of the ACTIVE Dust 514 player population. The Reason Of the top 1000 players on the KDR leaderboard, less than 370 players have 100 or more kills. Taking it a step further, there are only 113 players on the current leaderboard with 1000 or more kills. This results in a horrendous signal-to-noise ratio on the leaderboard and means that almost 90% of the players being rewarded with a spot on the leaderboard are players that have contributed very little, if anything to the game and community. To put it another way, most of the players on the KDR leaderboard probably don't even know a leaderboard exists. The Solution Set a minimum threshold for the number of kills required to qualify for the leaderboard. My suggestions would be: Global Player KDR Leaderboard requires > 1,000 kills to qualify Corporate KDR Leaderboard requires > 10,000 combined corporation member kills I normally would not advocate diverting development resources from higher priority issues related to gameplay mechanics and balance to work on something like this, but it is very low hanging fruit. Taking a small amount of time to make this change will make many players happy and reward them for being active in the game.

Cross Atu Conspiratus Immortalis Covert Intervention 1576	Posted - 2013.08.20 17:53:00 - [3] - Quote Honestly the leaderboards need a full reset, there has been a long standing bug which caused all games where one side wasn't cloned to not record stats meaning that 2/3rds of the game types out there were not having stats recorded for months . That having been said I'll also +1 the OP.

There are other WP related statistics I would love to see, in addition to or in place of the KDR boards at some point, but that would be an entirely different request.
RedBleach LeSanglant Hellstorm Inc League of Infamy 414	Posted - 2013.08.20 21:21:00 - [7] - Quote I can get behind this.
Meeko Fent Seituoda Taskforce Command Caldari State 676	Posted - 2013.08.20 21:55:00 - [8] - Quote I never really looked at the Leaderboards. They always lie, no matter what game your in. I don't think it's that important, but sure.
SponkSponkSponk The Southern Legion 232	Posted - 2013.08.21 01:48:00 - [9] - Quote Leaderboards should only count stats from the last X days/weeks/months. Even the ones that count "most kills/wins/WP Ever" will be useless in 2 years when the oldest corps have an unassailable lead over everyone else.
CLONE117 Planetary Response Organization Test Friends Please Ignore 165	Posted - 2013.08.21 01:54:00 - [10] - Quote we dont we make a diffrent leader boards thingy that involves number of kills with certain weps and number of deaths by certain guns as well?

CLONE117 Planetary Response Organization Test Friends Please Ignore 165	Posted - 2013.08.21 01:56:00 - [11] - Quote we should also take away kd/r from the game... make it non existent!.. that way ppl that only care about kd/r will either leave this game...or start doing important stuff on the battlefield..
Hunter Junko Zanzibar Concept 129	Posted - 2013.08.21 01:59:00 - [12] - Quote how about reseting the leaderboards every month or so. like a record of the tops players of that month? from kills, kill assists, WPs, etc.

Cross Atu Conspiratus Immortalis Covert Intervention 1622	Posted - 2013.08.25 04:05:00 - [15] - Quote Related ideas; Alter Leaderboard tracking to be WP/kills per game rather than lifetime. Alter Leaderboard tracking to be WP/kills per X span of time rather than lifetime. Using either of these methods would cause the leaderboards to display effectiveness of play more prominently, rather than just displaying sheer quantity of play as the currently do.
Sorry Wrong Chat United Pwnage Service RISE of LEGION 4	Posted - 2013.09.05 16:24:00 - [16] - Quote I like the Leaderboards but I have recommendations too: KD/r must be modified, there is a lot of crap inside, some ppl mean that a minimum number of kills must be reached to qualify for this list, which is good, or another idea is that a number of played games must be reached, let's say at least 100. At the top of the list, I can see my stats compared to the best, I would like to see my general ranking, even if it is frustrating to be 134,678th position --> SQL makes it possible ,-) I support the idea to have weekly or monthly rankings too And it would be cool to have the player stats inside his info box, once it is opened. Actually we can see only his name and PSN ID
KEROSIINI-TERO Seraphim Initiative.. 707	Posted - 2013.09.05 20:57:00 - [17] - Quote BGoat wrote: OP POST Sadly won't remve the problem as it's easy to kill farm a punch dummy 100+ times per game if wanted to do. 1000 kills is therefore easy to do. But still gonna give +1 to this suggestion as it would still clean up the kdr board a lot.
