[PROBLEM]
Many times I get a kill from someone with only a tiny bit of health, I don't feel like I deserve a +50 war point, and I find the person who did most of the work only getting a +25 unfair.
Other times me and other teammates are shooting and damaging an enemy together, and its purely by chance that I land the finishing blow, do I deserve a +50, while everyone else who was shooting just as skillfully only gets a +25? I think this is unfair.
[SOLUTION]
War points awarded for kills and assists should be proportional to how much damage done to the killed enemy. That means if you deal most of the damage, you get most of the points, regardless if its just an assist. That also means if you did very little damage, and you got the kill (like just delivering the finishing blow), you should get very little WP, even if you do get the kill. I think that seems fair.
[SOLUTION VERSION 2]
Some of you may think that a kill should always be awarded a set amount of points no matter how easy it is attained because its sending an enemy back to a spawn. How about +20 base points for all kills, but a bonus amount of points proportional to the the damage done to that enemy you killed.
Assists however should be completely proportional to damage dealt.
Ok...let me ask you this.......
(numbers are just guesstimates for this question)
Scout = 250 hp
Logi 400 hp
Heavy 650 hp
If you do 50% dmg to each person but do NOT land the killing shot....what do you get? Can the game keep up and holy crap that's a lot of pts compared to the guy who killed them!
Because if you put each at 100...and you do 70% dmg to the scout and 70% dmg to the heavy....for your efforts should you get rewarded the same?
I think the above devils advocate system is pretty tough to put in, hence we're seeing a flat rate of 50 and 25.
Do I agree with you? Yes sir...do I think there's an easy black/white fix? No sir.
I feel if we could hack nano's and other things we've yet to be told about, we'll see the points. Taking a step back, a smart man would say hurry up and wait and see how this all plays out.
But we're all excited about the potential of this game and have our own ideas for awesomeness which leads us to the forums to bounce ideas and try to have respectable conversations.
(p.s. skill point cap needs to be removed *cough*) |
