These stats were from a few days ago.

WP: 465,267
Deaths: 1,226
WP/D: 380
KDR: 5.57

I play ambush about 95% of the time, and a good deal of that is solo play. If I constantly ran in skirmish with a group (or even solo) I'm sure my WP would be much more hefty.

Also like others have said, not an end-all conclusion. But it makes me wonder what would be the perfect way to know a players skill/talent from a bunch of combined stats? Maybe there is no way to figure from stats alone, since there is so many ways to play the game.

You see this is what I am talking about.

With the stats you gave, I have calculated your WP/k to be 68.1

Now we know that 50 of that 68.1 comes from each kill you get, which leaves 18.1 left over, which means that you are doing very little on the battle field to support your team other than killing the enemy. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but it does reveal a good deal about how you play the game.

Unless he was frago'ed all the time, which would be 60 WP per kill.

Moonracer2000 Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 338	Posted - 2013.03.11 18:15:00 - [1] - Quote This is a rather simple stat to calculate that someone brought up a while ago. Divide your total number of warpoints by your total number of deaths to get a general idea of how well you utilize each clone. I thought I'd ask this just out of curiosity (comparing with others), and wondering if people think it would be a good stat to track on the leaderboards.

Gunner Nightingale Internal Error. Negative-Feedback 327	Posted - 2013.03.11 18:29:00 - [3] - Quote WP/D isnt as great an idicator as ppl may think. Hacking a CRU or a supply depot or waiting for an objective to flip before hacking instead of dehacking, destryoing a bolas after its already deployed its cargo, destroying random installations etc though great for generating WP to get an OB but that doesnt mean that you are contributing to the team win simply because the game gave you WPs for your actions. So while it may be a better indicator of of utility of support over KDR doesnt neceesarily make it better, especially since without Slayers you cant do anything to get the job done regardless. Without high kdr players to exert MAP CONTROL support functions like hacking, revive, repair resupply are meaningless. Telling yourself otherwise is just a way to insulate oneself from that harsh truth. This coming from a logibro fyi.

Spy Mouse New Eden Space Pirates 6	Posted - 2013.03.11 18:34:00 - [8] - Quote I got my first 1000 deaths within a week of starting while I was trying things out so anything/death ratio will take a while before it will be accurate for me. I rarely die more than twice a game now (ambush) or 5 times (skirmish)
Ignoble Son 3dge of D4rkness SoulWing Alliance 43	Posted - 2013.03.11 18:42:00 - [9] - Quote War points = 641,483 Deaths = 2,733 Ratio =-á234.7 Kill/death = 1.99 Scout mostly, but I do way too much -ástuff on the battlefield to care to catalogue -áit all here. Actually, I don't think that this is an accurate measurement of combat effectiveness. For example, an even half decent sniper is going to have a high WP/D, but, as we all already know, all snipers are completely worthless. I think a more accurate ratio would be war points to kills, in which case, mine would be: 118.1

I agree with everything you said. It is pretty easy to game WP gain by doing things that don't necessarily move a team closer to victory. Just like playing it safe as a sniper can boost your KDR. I still think it is an interesting stat. And I think looking at WP/D, KDR and Win/Loss ratios all together gives a better view of a player's skills and play style than any one stat alone.

Ah, nice observation And that makes perfect sense because pretty much all I play is ambush, in which the goal is to simply kill the other dudes (with the occasional hacking). I also get plenty of assists, which is +25 but doesn't count towards the kill count.
