- KDR must go. It's not an accurate or even a useful way to gauge contribution to a battle in an objectives-based game. Players will do kills instead of trying to win the game. Even if you don't rank players based on KDR, showing it means people will still concentrate on KDR instead of points. If you insist on showing it, do it along with lots of other data, preferably not after every match.
- I'm serious that KDR must go. If it doesn't, we'll get hordes of shrill-voiced bunnyhopping stabby-stabby CoD kids with the only objective to have high KDR. If we wanted that, we'd be playing CoD.
Parting note: don't try to please everyone! If you do, you'll end up with yet another CoD/BF clone. Find your niche, and fulfill our needs, and you'll have a steady stream of players who want to spend money on your game. From what I've seen with DUST thus far is promising, and you understand your customers. You need to balance better - especially vehicles - and ground the game better in EVE. PS. Auto-save notification on this forum is driving me nuts - it gives the useless notification every five seconds, and moves all text one line down, causing constant miss-clicks. Get rid of it.
I agree with most of your post, but these quotes I really agree with. I think the K/D ratio display is responsible for most of the people who only care about kills tarding up the game at present.
It's also nice to see someone else who's been playing FPSes for as long as I have. |

For clarity, I would very much prefer FF to be on. I haven't played an FPS without friendly fire in years, and have always avoided them like the plague. FF off rewards spray and pray since you don't have to look before you shoot. Truly a shame if FF will be off in the final version, and that will force me to re-consider the entire game - I'm that married to friendly fire being on.
It will be on at some point, but it's currently off. It's a beta, you know. There'd be no consequences to people just teamkilling constantly. |

But FF changes balancing and game mechanics quite a bit, so hopefully CCP will thoroughly test it before launch - especially if there are anti-griefing mechanics involved, as they are really easy to get wrong (too loose making them pointless, or too strict resulting in too many kicks/bans). I like the idea that null sec and low sec would have FF on, while (some) 0.5 and higher would have it off. Fits perfectly with the world, and would allow for carebears and n00bs play DUST without hurting their sensibilities.
Yup, that makes sense. Corps could police their ranks and boot anyone who has a problem with excessive friendly fire incidents. |
