stats whores are everywhere , its not something you can defeat , its in human nature to compare with others and strive to be the best , you are not forced to do it if you dont like it or feel like it , simple

K/D IS THIS GAME IS A JOKE. 45 kdr? LOL See the whole gear based system corrupts it.


The kdr that I have seen.. you'll NEVER SEE IN ANOTHER FPS. 64kdr? GET OUT OF HERE WITH THAT ****!. LOL


BUT IT IS STILL THE ONLY INDICATOR THAT SOMEONE IS ABLE TO STAY ALIVE. AND THAT ITS MORE IMPORTANT THAN HOW MANY KILLS HE GOT. .25 kdr WILL NEVER BE AS GOOD AS 2.25 kdr.

So how a Sniper contributes to the Battle ? .... I could snipe for a couple of weeks, and get my K/D ratio up very easily ...some times i think that the average age of Dust 514 players is about 10 years old.

Lol yeah right.

I laugh whenever my team on ambush gets decimated. I'll go 17-2 but come in third place on my team to two dudes going 3-15. WP farming is not a reliable indicator of how effective you are at what you are doing.

Reviving 2 guys only for all three of you to get destroyed in the next 10 seconds.
Supplying ammo to people who still have 3 magazines worth of ammo left (and will probably get killed in the next 10 seconds).
Rather than taking out a gun and killing the enemy, you take out a repair tool at the worst time and farm war points until the enemy kills all of you in the next 10 seconds.



WP rewards are arbitrary and are dependent on what CCP decides what they are worth.

KDR is the only hard, reliable data that gives a good indicator of survivability and killing efficiency. KDR isn't perfect, and it doesn't paint the whole picture, but I will trust someone who has a 8.71 KDR and 100,000 WP over someone who has a 1.12 KDR and 1,000,000 WP.

I could get on snipers case. But snipers do what snipers do in anyother FPS game. it's thier job. But good snipers cover the objective. BUT THEY OBVIOUSLY DON'T DIE. AND THAT WILL BE ALWAYS BE A GOOD THING. dead snipers make poor snipers. You expect that from that class. they aren't in front lines. But I"LL SAY THIS, A LIVING SNIPER COVER OBJECTIVES IS BETTER THAN A DEAD BLUE DOING NOTHING CAUSE HE DIED FOR THE 400th TIME.

N ALL FPS GAME 1.00 KDR doesn't mean you suck. doesn't mean your mowing down the enemy either. but it shows your staying alive just long enough to kill someone. and that is good.

in this game.. I've seen 26kdr. how? and that player I've faced in BF3. and his kdr there was 1k/d. SO HOW?! lol

lol at thread

OP I am sorry no decent corp will recruit/ field you because your KDR is bad

I will not join any corp that base their recruitment in K/D ratio .... That to me immediately tells me what type of Corp it is;

Stats Whoring Corp ( AKA Pubstomping Corp )

I rather be a one man corp, than join a Corp where Stats are more important than Team Work.

I make a Sport of hunting snipers ...they are the easiest kill... they just sit there, waiting to pick the easy kill. Their contribution to the battle is nearly ZERO...But a Logi that Dies repairing my suit....That sacrifice itself so i can live a bit longer... I love that guys... their contribution is HUGE.

My Character Sheet KDR is 0.75

Anybody that squads with me will see me go 5/1 - 10/1 on a regular basis.

So, why is my KDR so low?
Because stat tracking in Skirmish (my only mode til Domination came about) was absolute garbage for months.
Did they reset the boards after it was fixed or for release? **** no.
I've been digging that **** out since Uprising. When 10 Kills are < 0.05% of your KDR, it takes a while to level that out. It will probably take another year just to make it semi-relative.
Which forces me to behave like a KDR ***** sometimes. Sorry, pub team.

I can understand where CEOs want to make their recruiting process a little easier, but I was denied entry to a few bigger corps (back when I gave a **** about that stuff) based on 1 completely incorrect number.

LOL, what a silly argument. So, snipers are the easiest kills because they "just sit there"? You see, the problem is that you first have to figure out where "there" actually is. And while you're doing that little hunt of yours, that guy who's "just sitting there" is killing your team mates one by one (if he's any good). Personally, I find those people who call themselves "sniper hunters" (usually scouts with shotguns), the most useless and least contributing people in battles. Sure, I get killed by them from time to time (although 4/5 times I get killed, it's by another sniper), and yes, I usually don't notice them coming, which makes me a ridiculously easy kill. But since they probably spent several minutes just looking for me, while I was killing their friends who are actually trying to win the battle, I know that my time spent in that battle was certainly better spent than theirs.

Furthermore, saying that a sniper who just did 20/0 in a battle has contributed zero to their team is plain nonsense. Sure, there are bad, and there are good snipers. There are also those who are more concerned with their K/D rather than helping their team.
But, can't you say the same for every other role in this game?

Don't remind me about that. All I ever played was skirmish. Arrgh...

so u want dust514 to become CoD?

why not just play CoD , besides there are no LAVs there to roadkill you or sniping tanks

If 1.4 actually fixes hit detection, we should Shotty Squad. If you're still into those...
I'll try to remember to add you to my Contacts.

And how many battles are won by depleting the other teams clone supplies ? 1 of every 100 ? Most battles are won by destroying the enemy Command Center... By hunting snipers i free hacking terminals, i allowing my team to take over that cannon..and by doing that helping to destroy the Command Center. I agree i wasting time doing that.. but i helping my team allot by killing snipers farming kills in Hacking Terminals.
