AaaaaaHHHHHHHHH! Stats going to be wiped!!!

Stats that will be wiped:

Quote

The stats that are being wiped are match play related. Kills, deaths, wins, losses, C-Bills/match, XP/match, kill assists, spot assists, etc. are some examples.


Stats that will not be wiped:

Quote

What will NOT be wiped are player’s current XP balance, GXP balance, C-Bill balance, Mech Trees, Pilot Trees, Inventory, Mechs/Mech Bays and ELO.


Well I am happy ... at least they are not going to delete my mechs, but they could at least delete my ELO :D *wink wink nudge nudge*

Now here is the reason why I posted:

Quote

All current gameplay stats will be archived and will remain available to players in a historical view available on the website in the near future.


Why not roll over these stats and just hand out achievements now, instead of making us work for them again? Not that I am angry that I have to work for it again just asking if there was an issue which forced them this way?

Next is why not have it already setup to show historical data and install that at the same time instead of having to risk a lose of the data with a wait in the wing for the update after or feature to be created later to show it?

So yep just interested in the public's opinion and if mod's or dev's want to reply. HAPPY HUNTING!!!

"Here, have this stack of 15M cbills and 20k gxp accumulated from the last year and a half" may sound like a good deal for some, but not me. I want to be conscious of these goals as I get them. I do advocate an opt-out for those who want to have their bonuses now and keep their stats, but the default option should be to archive our stats.

I'm more worried about in game titles. Right now when I drop in my Commando 1B people automatically assume I'm a non threatening noob with my first cbill purchase. Slap "Commando Kill Factory" behind my name, and suddenly I'm drawing focus fire from the premades. Someone was recently talking about the "Atlas Effect" in matches. I think we're just around the corner from the Title Effect.

Look at it this way. At least you will be drawing fire from me in my Atlas so I can do some more damage? ^_^

I'm pretty happy Mechs aren't going to be wiped. It would be a huge slap in the face to anyone that got Phoenix mechs.

Although I'm curious as to why Elo isn't going to be wiped. I was under the impression it was going to get reset when acheivements hit until now.

They don't even explain "why" these need to be wiped.... I see no need.

Doesn't matter. It's gonna happen anyway. Might as well give in or give up. ^_^

The reason for wiping the data and not just using the old data to update everyones achievements is probably because they haven't tracked all the things that they needed to track in relation to the achievements. So they could award us some achievements based on the old data but not all despite some of us actually having done what was required.
So I would say it's better to start everyone back to scratch.

True, I recall one of the achievement will depend on Kill Assist and Component Destruction, something my medium mech have in abundance instead of kill count.

I am happy that the new stat will be tracking those.

True, having CW would be nice, but people have been asking for at least achievements to work towards sense closed beta.
