So I'm finally getting the hang on the game, figured out what to do and what not to do, explored the maps and figured out how to fit the vehicles. In addition to that I have a Mouse and Keyboard on the way (gamepads aren't for everyone). All is well except, well, I died more than a few times in this process, quite frankly I didn't even consider it to be an issue.

Then I noticed that our KDR ratios are logged, well, that's just great. In order for me to get back to a respectable KDR ratio (say 4:1) it'd take me a ridiculous amount of games of maintaining such a ratio and this is only after 2 days of learning the ropes.

Why is this a concern? Knowing how EVE worked and how I've noticed similar trends here I would expect the better corps to inspect your KDR ratio as an applicant. This game is nice and all, but unless you get playing with people who know what they're doing you're not gonna get much better and only serve as farming material for those that are (each to his own, I personally prefer to be as competitive as possible). The players of some corps have been playing for months already, lets not pretend that we're on some kind of even playing field because far more important than a proto suit is knowledge.

So does the leaderboard ever reset and if not, why don't we have the ability to reset our own stats?

Its nearly impossible to get your K/DR back up how it should be with the current system. Unless you're pulling in high numbers consistently, you can't get it higher than 2.5. Which rules out the possibility of pub matches. It's some stupid percentage based system rather than kills / deaths.

Also, Leaderboards need a complete overhaul, they only reward players who play all the time. Instead of Kills/WP Leaderboards, we need corp battle wins/losses, kills and deaths, and something that rewards skill over time played.


Possibly WP/Time played ratio.

I'm sure the final release of the game it will be a reset. Reset of leader boards not sure though

There will be no final release.
