How competitive is New Eden? Back in the day I was no-lifing Modern Warfare. I started late but got down to like 200 in the world. If I left to poop or make a sandwich I would drop 50 places on the leader boards. It was my first online experience with gaming and it felt competitive as hell.

Here I busted ass since open beta to get to 24th place since 1.7 dropped I havnt really played a whole lot. I only dropped 4 places in a month. I realize I wont ever get past like 20th because of work and family. It feels a lot less competitive on these leaderboards.

Is farming isk in PC the only way to get invited to the popularity contests that grace the forums? Just musing. kind of a boring day.

My advise. Take what you have at your disposal, and make the most of it. If you want to rank yourself, do it in a category that nobody else is in o/

-edit- There are LOTS of other categories. CCP is storing more detailed information on our character sheets than we see in the game, you can be sure of it. Not far off you will see leaderboards that show a LOT more player driven data. Watch ::)

Rynoceros Rise Of Old Dudes 2212	Posted - 2014.01.24 01:45:00 - [7] - Quote When MW1 came out i stayed on the top 100 for a while. Then, I didn't seriously play another FPS until Dust. But, the other day I was happy just seeing my part-timing ass in the Monthly Kills board, even though it's pretty far down there. I don't get invited to PC, but I feel like that won't be much longer. If I keep putting myself on top of the Killboard against squads of AE and NS in pubs with >2:0 KDR they can't deny me forever. Or, they could and it wouldn't really matter because I'm just going to keep kicking that ass, without discrimination in every pub and factional I play. Natalie Portman.

In MW yes there was a time invested bonus, but in this game its really all you need. If you have been he since open beta and don't take a 3 month leave of absence its impossible to catch up, never mind if your not a pub stomping proto/tanker squad. Just look at weekly kills, most of those number are far to astronomical to even assail. Proto Stompers Information/Wanted board Tap, Tap

Lt Royal Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 2617	Posted - 2014.01.24 06:14:00 - [18] - Quote New EdenGÇÖs competition has never been about who tops the leaderboards, who has dropped 50 places or who is trying to stay on top of everyone else. The real competition in New Eden is how much of a name you can make for yourself; through the decisions, the actions and the paths you take. Heres one example of someone being famous through their ambition: I'm not going to disclose his name but I'm sure many of you either knows or have heard about him. He started one of the biggest corporations in Dust; topping over 1600 players, which then lead to many of those players splintering off to form some of the more recently known corporations; one of which is Molon Labe. Though his enjoyment for the leadership role; (whether he likes it or not) hes made a name for himself. Ok so Dust is a FPS title that includes K/DR and W/LR but those features are only here to make FPS players feel at home and have a sense of familiarity they can relate to other titles. Being on top of the leaderboards doesn't mean anything in relation to the bigger picture of competition in New Eden. Do you want to be the person everyone loves or the person everyone hates; these are the steps you have to take to be remembered to competitively famous. Its about what impact on the community that will keep you living forever and remembered; that my friend is what being competitive is all about in New Eden not who is on top of the leaderboards! So to answer your question: Yes there is still plenty of competition in Dust. Gÿ£GÿàGÿP Subdreddit Recruitment Video Gÿ£GÿàGÿP

TheD1CK Dead Man's Game 436	Posted - 2014.01.24 16:19:00 - [21] - Quote the leaderboards on Dust are the result of guys getting a headstart in SP gain... And farmed ambush for the duration that your kills didn't tally up if you didn't clone a team in Skirmish..... Stats should have been rest upon 'release', they weren't so the leaderboard remained as broken as the gameplay in closed beta, it's a shame... But to be fair the first thing you heard when you got on dust was ''Need skill, buy Aurum today'' and a lot of guys listened to that crazy ***** Minmatar Demolitions Specialist Plasma Cannon Pro

I recommend you play to enjoy the game, not grind for leader-board positions or monopoly money (ISK). FYI, the leader-boards are now: LIFETIME / MONTHLY / WEEKLY *Faction Channels for FW Staging* PIE Ground Control \| Caldari Hierarchy \| Turalyon \| Chosen Matari
