[REDACTED] you can find the top list. Stats pages for [REDACTED]are available as well. The funny thing is: You can clearly seen then the open beta started on [REDACTED] stats. Its when all my graphs fall through the floor Also a lot of spikes can be found at the patch where ARTEMIS was introduced.


Bugreports and suggestions for improvements are welcome.

Hmm requiring players forum passwords is pretty much a no go i feel.

Yes it does. As I explained in the FAQ I can't change that.

That is not an unreasonable thought. Unfortionately I don't see a way of proving that it is not (see the FAQ).

Yeah but that's why I don't think you should be doing this. Because it looks like it is. Same reason I don't walk into a store wearing a ski mask when I go shopping.

Yeah this is not a good idea. If you really want public stats, just push PGI to do it.

I do not agree. It's not that i try to cheat someone or used some obscure language. I don't try to hide anything. I clearly stated the pro's and con's in the FAQ.

I don't think so. With the start of the open beta a lost of website functionalitz went down. It look about a month till you were able to edit you Forum profile again. Id't rather have them work on the game.

Sorry ... as far as I know the game and the forums use the same passwords since there is only the one account ... as a result anyone who gives you that information can have their accounts hacked ... so I would say that until there is a way to make this information available that does not require passwords (a la EVE API type of interface) ... it is simply not secure enough to consider doing ...

I'll applaud your hard work OP.

WTG it's nifty.

[Scratx]

To be fair, I don't think he's actually phishing. It'd be the most brazen attempt I'd've ever seen in that case.

On the other hand, the mere chance that providing credentials could lead to compromised accounts makes it a really bad idea.


Folks, the forum password is, as far as I know, the same one as your game password. You provide one, you provide both. As much as we may (or may not) like public stats, this is not the way to doing so.

I'm not even sure this is allowed by the terms of service, to be honest.

Yes it is.

As you can rad in the FAQ: I approached them about this when the stats were still for clan internal use. They don't mind it.

Just seeing these stats is utterly depressing. I figure that I played too many matches without a group and used trial mechs way too often.

Currently I have:

147/319 K/D
238/318 W/L
102k C-bills per match
289 EXP per match

Anyway your approach is pretty neat but I'd prefer an official XML feed from the devs and afaik they are working on it.
