If you don't see me, it's because I'm not where you're looking. I'd rather be unscannable than invisible.

ZDub 303 TeamPlayers Negative-Feedback 2414	Posted - 2014.03.31 17:52:00 - [4] - Quote its an FPS, of course it is. KDR is literally the only important stat in this game. In PC its about winning and in pubs its about KDR.
Ripley Riley Incorruptibles 1304	Posted - 2014.03.31 17:54:00 - [5] - Quote ISK efficiency matters to me. WP's earned matters to me. Kills matter to me. The number of times I died succeeding in the above mentioned areas is almost irrelevant. He imposes order on the chaos of organic evolution...
Byozuma Kegawa Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 207	Posted - 2014.03.31 17:54:00 - [6] - Quote Kill ratio means nothing to me. It's fun when I get a ration of 1 or 2 at the end of a match, but more often than not it's .1 than 1. I play a logistics, though, so my main concern in a serious match is not to kill the next person but to heal the next team mate I see down or make sure the front line stays in front with uplinks. Any logistic that says otherwise isn't a true logistic.

Denn Maell PIanet Express Canis Eliminatus Operatives 256	Posted - 2014.03.31 17:58:00 - [11] - Quote As an immortal clone super soldier, who is respawned without having to pay for the clones lost, it seems so unimportant. But, yeah I'd rather have fun and play with knives/reptools/re's/generally any weapon that has a reputation of being UP and nerfed. Because that's fun. I'd rather have an average efficiency board where your earnings minus the costs of suits you died in are compared with others. The most OP weapon on the Dust Battle Field: One good logi, one rep tool, and a heavy.

In PC its about winning and in pubs its about KDR. What a bunch of bullshit. Dust514 is all about the victory, Cod is a KDR game. What use is KDR when you portray an immortal clone soldier? I get getting tabs on WP as it is a much more useful stat to keep track on general usefulness, but KDR tells me what? For instance if you rock a 10.5 KDR it can mean anything, you run in good squad, you protostomp, you snipe, you HAV. Its a useful figure and a damaging one, some peeps have such a small epeen they will go out of their way to improve it over things such as squad/team proper integration, fulling needed roles, anything really with the risk of death. CCP needs to get it removed, aside from ISK its one of the reasons we have red line snipers/HAV in the first place. If Dust was a balanced game and was of a similar format of Cod or BF then sure, but in a game where you can farm KDR by simply being a tryhard or a scrub it means nothing, hell you dont even need good skills to improve it, just time and selfishness lol.

K/D does not matter in this game at all. i see plenty of people with great K/D and that does not stop me from killing them in 1 on 1 engagments. PS leave a story on when your K/D has gotten you laid* NEVER!!!!! so do what you do most ( i mean most) K/D whores will leave the game anyway if you smack em a few times and the cant find a way to kill you, (you know who you are) bottom line have fun.

What use is KDR when you portray an immortal clone soldier? I get getting tabs on WP as it is a much more useful stat to keep track on general usefulness, but KDR tells me what? KDR tells you how good of a player you are. all trolling here aside, KDR is less relevant in Dust than other MW shooters due to the use of isk. It would be better if end of match screens had isk efficiency instead, and the gaming culture developed around that instead. it would also probably help curb pubstomps. Where ISK Eff. = ISK Destroyed / ISK Lost - where both of these numbers are not effected by revives. Meaning each player has to 'bleed out' for the number to take effect. That would be much more relevant in this game for sure. EoM scoreboard should also show WP / ISK Lost. Maybe someday CCP will remove KDR as the most important stat in this game. Until its off EoM leaderboards and the first stat on the character sheet though, its the most important in the context of the game as it stands. Should it be? I dont think so either.

Basicly I try not to die more than ten times, and I feel like I didn't spend too much ISK. I'd say walk in my shoes for a day, but you probably still won't understand.

Agreed, but it still doesnt determine how good you are. What say you to Logis that arent slayers? What say you to the greatest Jihad LAV driver ever that rocks a near 1.0 +- due some you win some you lose but god damn I need to kill myself everytime because I cant trust the car to move just a bit further under its own power? What say you to the guy in milita gear that fights an epic battle against the proto odds but for every 2 steps forward, who must take 1 back?

POW right in the kisser! Right after my own heart. As a logistics I tend to run negative isk when I'm using good fits. So I hit the pubs in a free fit and just run around doing not much of anything when solo. If in a squad I'll give some effort but ultimately it's just for the isk. If I die 15 times then meh, no isk from my pockets.

A JLAV driver that is successful should have a decent isk efficiency, even though his KDR would be terrible. A guy in MLT gear would also have a terrible KDR vs proto users but would have a decent isk efficiency if he killed even 1-2 of them.

Gauder Berwyck Deadly Blue Dots 331	Posted - 2014.03.31 20:01:00 - [40] - Quote Of course kdr matters. Or rather, skill/gungame matters. Situational awareness matters. These are all tied to isk efficiency in one way or another. The more you kill and the less you die, the better for your team and yourself. In most shooters, kdr is important. Dust is no exception just because it is an mmo. You can't counterhack if you're dead. You can counterhack if the objective has been cleared of red dots. It's all very simple. In most shooters it is all about making the red dots waste time. Kdr helps but is not all important. Let them bleed out and waste time running back to the front while you do something productive. Or tie up 2+ enemies letting the rest of your team do the job. In Dust each death costs isk. In Dust, kdr is more important than other shooters, because it directly ties into isk efficiency. Fact.

If I cost the enemy more than they cost me I have won and I always do. My KDR is really average though and when I started caring I was at about 1.2 now I sit at about 2.5 and growing.
