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?

Some sample code to do exactly what is being suggested:

http://pastebin.com/h8gPLtKE

The code basically tracks each attack with a timestamp and if you die within some time from this attack, you get normalized points depending on how much damage you dealt on the target in regard to every other player that has damaged the target within a certain time window. It would also work with the logi repairing scenario assuming some time (20 seconds) have passed. It also keeps track of the (unlikely) situation where you get repaired constantly from an uber logi. It is definitely doable :)

EDIT: Similar code should be implemented already seeing how if you damage an enemy you only get warpoints if he dies within 5-10 seconds of you damaging him. If this is indeed the case, the scaled WP to damage part would be trivial to add.

Multiply that server load by 1M players (can't be done client side). Is the difference really worth it? I get mostly assists with the group I run with and no one really cares.

simple solution: do it like BF3
assist points can range from 1-99 in BF3 and a kill is still 100 pts
that way the person doin most of the work still gets points proportional to the dmg done and the person who got the kill still gets full kill credit

making the person who got the kill get less WPs will actually decrease teamwork and increase solo play as ppl wont feel the need to help out and will instead go chase a "fresh" kill for maximum points

I like a solution somewhere between Syndicate and BF3.

Also, kind of like OP's solution 2.

Current situation:

Kill = 50WP
Assist = 25WP

Suggestion:

When someone is killed, 50WP are divided up between everyone who dealt damage to the target over the preceding 20 seconds, based on the total damage the target sustained during that period and the percentage of damage each attacker dealt from that total. An additional 30WP is awarded to the killer.

This way, getting a kill "solo" will award 80WP. Barely scratching a near-death enemy will probably only give you about 30WP, and if someone else did the "real" work, they get up to 50WP. But if you nearly get a kill, then die, and the still-weakened enemy gets caught half a minute later, you missed your chance.

Also a question, with this system if an enemy is reduced to 10% life, the 20 seconds (or whatever) span expires for whoever did that damage and two other Mercs finish him off how do the WPs get awarded? Assuming an even split of that remaining damage would one Merc get 25WP and the other 55WP or would the 90% done by the first team member be "gone" (with no one getting the points for that damage) once his window expires?

The count would, assuming my suggestion is taken, work from the total damage dealt in those 20 seconds, NOT the total damage the unhurt target could survive.

If someone has 100 armour HP, and 100 shield HP (obviously made up numbers are made up), gets worn down to 10 armour, then somehow manages to run around for 30 seconds without any shield regen kicking in, and somehow manages to only take 5 damage each from 2 other players, they would get a 50% share each in the damage WP awarded (25 each), and the one who actually gets the kill would be awarded the kill bonus on top of that (30 in my example).

The numbers, in terms of time and WP amounts, almost certainly need tweaking.

Look while all this is great and all there are various pieces of gear in the game that are not giving out WP as they should any ways.
Example I run to an objective with 3 other guys and throw down a armor repping Nano hive it is repping them but giving me no Team Heal WP's.That equipments cost comes out of MY pocket .I get any WP's?They cant even fix that.How about getting WP when you equip a Spawn uplink in your Drop ship and team mates spawn in it....nope no warpoints for that.Lets not for get that rep guns are currently not giving out WP because of the farming...and on and on and on.

Some of these suggestions look like too much server effort for not enough pay off.

If they just tracked how many assists a player got I would be fine. All I want at the end of a match where I felt many of my kills were stolen is an assists collumn that shows who was helping put people down.

Assists are valuable. If you kill a guy by yourself that is only 50 points for your squad. If you get one or two people in on the kill it becomes 75-100 points for the same death. That kind of team work gets you a second orbital strike.

[REQUEST] More Detailed Statistics (end of match / character sheet)
Update: We plan to include more stats in the leaderboards later on. Expect a plethora of stats in future updates.

Total WP for a kill (WP everyone gets) should depend on the total health of who you happen to kill.

This way, finally stopping a prototype heavy's rampage would be rewarded more than taking down someone's starter fit; as it should.

This is especially important for vehicle destructions. If you do 99% of the damage to the vehicle, and it gets destroyed by someone shooting with an AR, or by burning armor, you're basically screwed over.

Anyone know if this is technically feasible?
