its time to get this implemented.
kdr means nothing these days. its time it was replaced with isk/aur destroyed/lost as this is the key stat everyone bases their gameplay on anyway.
i am seeing and hearing a lot of "i killed more people so i should get more isk" bot on here and in game.
how do you measure success. for me its:
1)winning 2) staying isk positive
and at all times making sure the other team loses as much isk as possible and more of it than me.
often i come against full proto teams and even though they often win they lose stupid amounts of isk. as most players who do it have large amounts of isk this loss is in the back of the mind and they focus on what they are not getting in the reward. its time this figure is brought to the front and perhaps its loss which should be the determining factor of a successful fight not how many kills you got

Or you could just add ISK Destroyed/Lost stats and leave K/D.
I'll never understand why people want to remove the K/D stat when this is a PvP game (and an FPS at that.) Is it because you're embarrassed about your K/D ratio being lower than you want it to be? If so, then you should lighten up a bit.

because the ultimate goal is to win and earn isk. kdr does not affect these 2 outcomes and gives players a false view of what success is

If you kill a lot of players and die only once or twice, you're far more likely to win the match as you're destroying clones at a faster rate than the enemy. And vice versa; dying a lot of times but only killing a few people makes you less likely to win as your clones are being depleted faster than the enemy.

lets say you kill 20 clones and don't die and a logi bro revives 20 players. all your effort was for nothing. lets say you destroy 2mil isk. that isk is a finite resource removed from the game. i dont care about losing a clone. i care about losing isk. players being confronted constantly with their isk loss will eventually improve. we can see this with kdr but ultimately isk has more of an effect on how people play than kdr does

I like kd and ISK lost.
Btw kd does somewhat matter. Following attim Here, cloning out in a skirm is a favorite tactic. Letting them keep one objective and funneling them into a meat grinder is awesome.

Keep KDR and also display ISK lost. Though i would have a real hard time playing know how much ISK ive lost, but then it probably make me a better player. So thats what your getting at?
Keep KDR and display ISK lost as well. KDR is very important (for some reason) in FPS games.

i have seen plenty of high kdrs on losing teams. does that account to success. when you win does your high kdr mean you did more than the guy who dies many times and earns less wp but kept the objective capped. in an even match does it matter to the losing team that they lost combined 5mil isk or that you the winners lost 10mil isk.
kdr is highlighted as the defining stat on the end of battle report yet it is the less important than stats which are not included.
a high kdr at the expense of huge isk losses is not a strength especially when the reward is a fraction of your expenses.
sry keep kdr but it should not be a defining factor of the end of battle report

If so, then you should lighten up a bit as most players are impressed more with ability than stats. It has less to do with embarrassment (really, anyone who is embarrassed about something as trival as KDR in a game needs to reevaluate their lives and should potentially consider biomassing IRL) and more to do with disarming immature teenagers who think KDR > Everything Ever

What if I am bait?
Hey you!! Yeah, you dumbasses over there!! Pay attention to me!! Theres no one running for the objective, look over this way!!
I probably die a bunch, but I am contributing to my team by pulling people off the objective.
While Team KDR might have an impact on the outcome, Individual KDR is often highly overrated.

Like Atiim said, kill to death ratio should never be removed; there is no reason for it to be. You can say that the ultimate goal is to gain ISK, but this isnt necessarily true for everyone. Just because you are trying to make ISK doesnt mean everybody is. I dont really care about ISK much anymore because I have enough to support running proto suits for a very long time. I do worry about k/d as it is one of the few things I can almost always control. I cant force the enemy to run expensive suits and lose large sums of ISK. I cant always secure a win because I cant make my teammates not suck. I can get kills and avoid deaths pretty well if our team isnt being absolutely stomped. I am a proto user and a k/d *****, but so what, there are much worse things and I still help the team while getting kills and avoiding death.

You don't win by war points or by how much ISK you destroy, both of those stats can be farmed. KDR is very important, you shouldn't throw your deaths around then blame your team when you get cloned out. Now you don't need any higher than an even KDR but you shouldn't be going negative. And don't say logis, any decent logi can get that many war points without dying a lot.

i think thats wrong, if it all comes down to kdr and wp being the most important things then what's the point of rest of the intricases of the game, we should all just be in cod like setups with no risk of loss at all.
a lot of players have so much isk that isk loss is far in the back of their minds because to them kdr is the main stat and this is enforced as it is shoved in the players face constantly at every battle. to bring the loss to the front of every battle report would have players having to confront their bad play styles every game and hopefully improve the game to a point where isk payouts can be fixed. as it stands players are happy to lose 2mil+ per battle and receive only 200k reward because they don't see the negative impact on their wallet constantly. what they do see is a positive impact every time on their kdr. this is a false account of their performance as its performance at the expense of huge losses

sry keep kdr but it should not be a defining factor of the end of battle report No one here is saying it should be but we are saying KDR should not be removed. Not matter what you say but a game that involves a number of deaths a team can have then KDR matters. And if half your team is afk and you get a good KDR but lose are you really going to say he lost cuz he cared about his KDR too much without even relizing he was the only one trying?
Also I've lost billions from messing around making corps and ****. What I spend my isk on now shouldn't concern you.

i'm a logi i have little need for kdr yet often get a high kdr in a match from stray assists. does that make me a killer who benefitted the team. no it doesnt. my kdr often belonged to someone else. what did count to my team is me saving clones and isk while protecting my team members so they can reduce the enemys clones and isk.
what doesnt matter is a kdr that is based on killing players and not killing clones

i like more to see war points and kills as to how much action the player was doing. My noobs could lose over 2 million isk in suits but if they pushed the objective i don't care how many times but they got it and managed to hold it for at least one minute and won the game because of it they did their damn job well done. I don't care how much isk they lost. Isk lost means nothing.

yes.... yes.... me suiciding into the enemy lines with my minmatar assault shotgunner with more than 700 hp running at 9.7 m/s costing 30k a suit is worth it ;3
he talks about being isk positive, I will die 13 times in a game and lose 390k isk, but I drop links and kill 30+ sometimes even 40+ people doing that and my payout will be 400-600k isk for the game...

People who say KDR doesn't have or play a role in DUST are people who have only spent times playing Pubs.
It matters for PC corps and has always mattered because it measured how many clones you kill versus how many you loose.
This had value because it actually meant more payout for everyone as we had more clones for sale. at the end.
It measures up still to this day with PC corps because it gives you abilities to push a clone pack of 120 clones and take a district with loosing less then 20 clones in consecutive matches for said district.
The only reason KDR become a stats people where pushing to get high was the requirement to get in Said PC corporations... the rest is just people jumping on the bandwagon since.
In Chromosome for example it was all about who had the most kills so their name was highest on the leaderboards. |

people are missing the point. we are meant to be mercs earning isk yet a large portion of the playerbase plays for a huge isk loss every match and complains that they don't get enough isk rewards for the amount of kills or wp they acquire. fact is they are not playing to the reward which in a pub match is around 200k-500k isk.
i always leave a match isk positive every time. i'm not chasing profit. i'm sticking to the match boundaries. this is because i am less concerned about being the top killer/WP and more concerned with trying to win the match. winning the match by default i.e purposely trying to clone out the other team so you dont have to put any effort into the battle is a **** poor effort at a win.
besides i am not trying to remove kdr. i want it replaced on the end of battle report with isk lost/killed as the primary stat. i dont care if they put kdr elsewhere but they should shrink it down to minimise its importance and isk loss shoved in everyones faces to show them how good/bad they truly are.

i always leave a match isk positive every time. i'm not chasing profit. i'm sticking to the match boundaries. this is because i am less concerned about being the top killer/WP and more concerned with trying to win the match. winning the match by default i.e purposely trying to clone out the other team so you dont have to put any effort into the battle is a **** poor effort at a win.
besides i am not trying to remove kdr. i want it replaced on the end of battle report with isk lost/killed as the primary stat. i dont care if they put kdr elsewhere but they should shrink it down to minimise its importance and isk loss shoved in everyones faces to show them how good/bad they truly are. I think you are the one missing the point. People are trying to play the game the way they like playing it, no the way others think they should play it. im not telling people not to play how they want. i just want them to know just how good or bad they are playing while hiding behind that KDR smokescreen Lmao^ you just gave yourself away. You have a bad KDR so you want no one to have one so you won't feel bad anymore. I have friends with a 1 or lower KDR and I love playing with them Idgaf if you're good if you're a try hard or just want to have fun. I can fit in with any group and I enjoy it. We throw ISK around cuz we can we earned it and we have our suits fitted the way we like from PC not cuz we're hiding behind our KDR. We earned it.

i don't care about kdr as its a meaningless stat. i have revived far more players than i have ever killed, i have repaired far more than i have ever been damaged. my uplinks are imo 95% effective and my hives 100% effective, i save players more isk than i ever lose, i hack objectives and installation when i can. these are all important stats and imo more so than kdr yet all but the healing done are counted in the end of battle report and even that is not recorded outside of the fight yet kdr, a stat which is only relevant to some is the primary measuring stat on the end of battle report for success.

I do all of those things that you are concerned about. When I'm pubbing, I do whatever it takes to win....I believe K/D is important but I'm not hard to find. I'm usually the first one at objectives. I spam links, I carry nanite injectors. I don't camp high ground and stay up there. I play to win but I also would like to know how well I did as far as gunning people down as well.
The same people that are KDR whores who hand around high ground and are scared to go near objectives are probably the same ones worried about ISK loss.

the point i'm trying to make is some people are content with spamming as much isk as possible to get a high kdr, as far as the end of battle report is concerned they did really good. but behind the that high kdr and wp is a player who has lost millions of isk in a 200-500k isk fight and thinking they are awesome for doing it yet other players are spending much less and getting those same kdr's against them. pub matches is ripe with this. i see it all the time. i can walk away from a fight with a 200k isk profit knowing for fact that often the top player on the enemy side lost multiple 100k+ isk suits and left with a massively negative profit. this is not just pointless statistics this is vital statistics for finding not just good players but great players and gaining a more accurate view of performance for everyone

I dunno if it's the lack of nicotine in my system, or what but this erks me.
Isk destroyed vs Isk lost, isn't that the same as kdr, you're just changing the numbers that are reported...
Second, what about us logibros and it sounds like you're a logibro. You don't want Isk lost to be reported, considering we carry more gear into the battle than anyone else and get shot a lot. Plus I only skimmed your post since it's typically wall o text I didn't see if there was a stat for us. Like Isk saved vs Isk lost. If KDR is so useless then ignore it. Christ almighty.
Tl;Dr less QQ, more pew pew. |

no its different. 10 losses for me could be 100k isk and the same 10 losses for the enemy could be 1 mil isk or vise versa and varying levels of cost. 1 loss for 1 is different than 1 loss for the other and the same goes for kills.
how many times have you taken out a full proto with a basic/standard weapon and thought wow thats going to hurt or been on the other end and thought no way that killed me. you cannot tell any of that from kdr. it gives more false readings than any other stat as you can steal kills easily without doing much damage.
yes im a logi but i'm not defenceless. this is just a start. as i said in another post there are other important stats also which are important and for us these would come into account. but ultimately you would still run a isk gain/loss as part of your performance. your not going to run 1mil isk worth of gear for a pub thats only going to reward half as much at best outcome. ultimately to know how much you killed and saved will give you a better performance report than the current kdr only system in place

ok lets get a few things straight here
no i do not want to remove kdr. i want it de-emphasised as the defining stat for performance in the end of battle report. instead i want isk won/lost/saved etc and other stats added which have a far more accurate reading of how the battle went than kdr which is inaccurate as it counts player kills and not clone kills.
kdr is only relevant to killers so no kills and you cannot be compared with anyone else while isk loss/win is relevant to everyone and can be compared on many levels
