Cygnus Gogela Freeport Exploration Loosely Affiliated Pirates Alliance 67	Posted - 2013.07.16 18:13:00 - [1] - Quote So I'm doing this Mordu's Challenge and I noticed I can't log in to the web to see any game stats. There aren't any stats to speak of at all, really. What gives? Is this just DUST 514 being a "different" kind of FPS by omitting yet another feature every other FPS for the last 10 years has had, or is this an oversight? Anyone?

And before I get shouted at you can say it should be all you like, but it's not. CCP are doing to Dust what they did to EVE. They're starting slow and ramping up. If that will end in success or not.. time will tell. In the meantime, the game is feature incomplete. This includes stats tracking I think it's easy to compare to other FPSs. Imagine a good FPS. Take away player control, make vehicle control terrible, lower the graphics, take away the campaign, lower average player count, delete most of the maps, and roll it back to 1999. Bam, you have DUST. See? That wasn't hard... Now back to the question of stats.

You can see your lifetime SP, current SP, Lifetime ISK, current ISK and K/D. ...* I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here. In Halo 2 I could go back and see each game's stats. (I pick Halo 2 b/c it's almost 10 years old). How many did I kill in EACH GAME, what weapons I used, what maps I played on, medals, etc... It's stats like THAT I'd like to see. I realize these statistics probably exist in a log somewhere on CCPs servers. I really do. I also am well aware of what generic stats are available in my profile, OK? I get all of that. My question is where are the stats I could get in a game 10 years ago? I'm not sure how to focus this question anymore. What am I not communicating here?

The official advice from CCP is "use pen and paper". Technology! Maybe I should be playing people with pen and paper too...

Add micro-transactions. Bam, you have DUST. See? That wasn't hard... Now back to the question of stats. Did your mommy not nurse you enough as a baby? Damn dude, I think you are on to me. This game has problems because I wasn't nursed. Good call.

Player control... player control... haven't heard that one in a while. 2. There's this thing called the settings. 3. The graphics haven't been an issue since Uprising 4. It's called an MMOFPS, not MMORPG. There's no campaign in EVE, yet no one complains about that. 5. You're sure not helping. Whining about every little thing isn't recruiting players or making this game appealing to newbies. 6. Dust maps big, other FPS maps small. 7. Why am I replying to someone with no legitimate argument and who has to exaggerate to support himself? 8. So you want to see Dust with less features? 9. If everything you say is true, then I guess it gives you pretty good reason to quit Dust. Goodbye. Wow 9 answers to questions never asked and not a word about the stats. That's awesome. I didn't start this thread to rant about the problems with the game... I started it to find out where the stats were and I'm still watching it to find out when I can get those stats or where CCP is at on stats... if anyone knows. So just to be crystal clear (I know it's been a confusing run...) THIS THREAD IS ABOUT STATS I want to know about them. Now I will feed you, troll: 1) Hmmm. OK. I, in turn, haven't heard about the band ABBA in a while. 2) Indeed there is. I can't find the physics sliders. Help? 3) By 'not an issue' I assume you mean they aren't on the "to do" list. Good to know. 4) EvE is a fascinating and feature filled game. It looks great. I could go on and on about it. 5) I'm not getting paid either. I'm spending money (WAS. Suspending RL $$ support for a while). I'm the customer. 6) Other FPS maps balanced, fun, look good, play well, are greater in #... but yah DUST has big maps. 7) ...but did you reply? See the section on game statistics. I didn't exaggerate I assure you. They aren't there. 8) I can't find the place I said that. Help? Short answer is: No. I would like to see more features. Like stats. 9) Uh... hmmm. I guess "yes" but I'm waiting to see if it's going to get better. I may take a break for a year though. Walk safe o7

Well this is obviously a feature we'd like to have implemented for future events, absolutely! We are also looking into getting stats for events like this on the website so you'd be able to check both inside and outside of the game. Definitely noted and working it's way to you, the players! Thanks! Finally you're saying stuffs mint chip... Finally we're getting somewhere... It's not just about events though. Fundamentally, it's a draw to the game. When people can quantify how they are doing they'll become more engaged. Think about it in terms of sports. The first field sport was created when one person stepped onto a field and said "I'm better than you and I can prove it". That can't happen if nobody knows how good they are. Suite, though, mintchipLOL. Any eta? (p.s. thanks for the response)

I should have a better idea of an eta in the coming week or so, and I'll be sure to keep you updated on it as it progresses! Event-wise, this feature feels /almost/ essential. Wow. Outstanding! Agreed & thanks!
