ex) #25 21 kills, 21 kdr, w/l ratio of 0.00 #61 14 kills, 14 kdr, w/l ratio of 0.00 #62 14 kills, 14 kdr, w/l ratio of 0.00 #82 12 kills, 12 kdr, w/l ratio of 0.00 #100 11 kills, 11 kdr, w/l ratio of 0.00
Those are just the ones with 0 w/l in the first 100.
In just the top 100 there are at least 40 characters who by my guess will not log on again.
Some options I can think of:
- Only a soldier gaining passive sp will be included in the boards. I understand this would probably be quite some work but it would deter people from making/remaking soldier for the board as it would be a waste to have the sp go to an unused soldier.
- Have a minimum number of games. This would be less effective as the person could join a game and just sit in the MCC after they get their kills.
- Determine "active" or "inactive" based on log ins and games played per day/week/month/etc.
- Mix of the above two with minimum number of games w/ minimum number of wins but have that number increase based on when the soldier was created. A soldier made one month ago with 2 games should not be included on the board.
I agree completely that the Leaderboards are "broken" at the moment because of immature players just wanting a spot on the boards regardless of it being a main character or just some merc they created to play just one game and snatch a spot.
I think the easiest solution would be one of these three:
a) Only characters who have reached a certain amount of skillpoints should be ranked (i.e. 1,500,000 SP) b) Only characters who have reached a certain number of kills, deaths, or a combination of both should be ranked (i.e. 500 kills, 500 deaths, or 1,000 total) c) A combination of a and b.
It would be much more difficult and require a significant amount of time to reach 500 - 1,000 kills or 1.5M SP without dying.

It's a pretty obvious sort of issue, but I imagine it's been a really low priority due to the constant wipes prior to 10 Jan.
A simple fix would be to not have people show up on the leaderboard until the reach a certain kill threshold. Like, for example, you don't get ranked until after you've killed 1000 people or hit 50,000 WP something.
I didn't see Fivetimes Inifinity's post before I replied. Just wanted to include and agree with it. |
