xp/match is a better reflection of how well you are contributing to the outcome.

[jtyotJOTJIPAEFVJ]

XP currently tells you how many saviour kills you managed to get in a match. If you're a light and cap the enemy base every time, winning the game every time for your time just by yourself, you get, what, 400 XP? But if you go out in a blaze of glory, getting 4 assists and 100 damage in your Atlas, you'll get more than that. XP tells just as little as damage done.

Dear Nonsense and others.

I appreciate you trying to reason with Mr. AI, however vain those tries are. His intelligence is, after all, artificial.


You guys are arguing with someone who has a hybris mentality, someone who believes in deus ex machina. He is so in love and entangled in his own modus operandi and all its glory, effectiveness and general greatness that he will never admit to being wrong or that what he is arguing is not viable. He thinks that if he maintains cold hard logic he can never be wrong. He feels so vastly superior to everyone else as he puts more time in constructing logical thoughts, that he *cannot* be wrong. Now, I can't speak of xhrit himself but most people I've met that discuss with similar discourse have also been narcissistic and delusional from which these aforementioned properties stem from. This also leads to the fact that you cannot discuss with them. Whether Xhrit is totally OK and just being a keyboard warrior, or not OK doesn't matter; what matters is that you don't continue this kind of discussion too long to get the thread locked.

I created this thread to talk about damage/match, just to see the general level of damage, which I must add was a lot higher than I expected, even though the sample is small and biased. Thanks go to all who voted. Now continue on those rails, please.

It's in the 300-400 range, but it varies. If the enemy team has one or more premades and my team gets blasted away 0-8, I usually manage to do 200+dmg. Often I'm on the first or second spot in my team with this damage. On the other hand, if my team has a premade and we stomp the enemy 0-8 or if it is a close game that ends like 2-0, I usually end up with 450-600dmg, sometimes more.

I'm playing a Hunchback btw.

[Ghogiel]

If you are scoring more than 400damage a match you really need to work on your aim. lol?

Anyone with a 2 kills per match average or close to it be giving no ***** about that.

unfortunately that can be skewed by Premium time or Double XP events... would be nice if those didn't affect the XP stats.

True, I hadn't really checked to see if the xp was raw or after bonuses.

As for savior bonus, I think it does reflect a contribution to your effectiveness, but perhaps a little more than it should. So there really isn't a good way to measure with the current stats I guess.

I have pictures on my desktop at home of a 5-0 and 830 damage with a centurion CN0-A

Will upload when i go home for the summer *college*

Actually it highly depends on fact have you played on your missile boat before nerf or after. Even HBK-4SP with 2 srm6 could easy do 1000 dmg before nerf. And remember misile boats before ECM patch. I think they should nullify stats after any major changes.

I am a Determinist. I believe it is an objective fact that randomness does not in fact exist.

Then you're acting belief without evidence. That's fine as long as you keep it as a belief rather than state it as an objective fact. If you want evidence, I suggest you work on figuring out what causes radioactive decay, since no modern method or instrument has detected its cause (...unless someone figured it out or created a Universal Wave Function and I just haven't heard?). You can BELIEVE there is a cause and we just don't know it yet, but that doesn't make it a FACT that there is a cause. Take some basic science classes along with your math, bro...DO YOU EVEN LIFT?

Belief and intuition are fine if they're driving your further investigation...creating a hypothesis. Otherwise, you might as well start a religion. It's fine to discuss determinism as a concept for analyzing and explaining the universe, but it's far from fact or even scientific theory.

Meh, I doubt it'll get locked for having a philosophy discussion. That said, I'm done. Arguing with dogmatic people is so boring.

The entire foundation of science is that everything in the universe can be measured, and that nothing is unknowable.

Reductionist thinking and methods form the basis for many of the well-developed areas of modern science, including much of physics, chemistry and cell biology. Classical mechanics in particular is seen as a reductionist framework, and statistical mechanics can be viewed as a reconciliation of macroscopic thermodynamic laws.

Causality is not a scientific theory, it is science itself.

I'm just gonna send you a PM since apparently you're confused about what science is and is not.

My most played Mech is also the one I have the worst W/L ratio. But, I did get my highest K/D ratio with it. The reason it was most played was because it had no XP while the rest of the variants only had Master left when stats started being calculated.
