I am trying to view other players mech stats, is this even possible? I know even on old WoW you can look up and see other characters kill/dmg/achievements etc. at the moment you can only view your own stats?

[Felio]

Nope, not possible.

[CycKath]

Wish it was, even if could lead to many problems ("Silence you! You have a KDR of 0.51 which means your opinion in this discussion is utterly worthless!")

Well...if someone's KDR is .51, SHOULD I be listening to them?

[Deathlike]

It was Bryan's position at the time... somewhere in 2012-2013.

Not the best example there...

Nope.

Intentional to minimize Epeen.

We already got more than enough for a scrub level "Comp" game. (Sorry Adiuvo, but let's be honest, y'all might be the best MWO has to offer, but the MWO Comp Scene is not even an afterthought in FPS comp gaming)

why not? Have heard Roland and many others claim that there is never ever a reason to have less than a 1.0 KDr, or you are just a bad.

Really too many people base merit on stats, and limited, gamable stats at that.


(Of course, in most Light mechs, I AM a bad. But I'll wreck most people in Medium Mechs. *shrugs*)

Well yeah, it's a tiny scene for a tiny game for a tiny IP. Don't particularly see how that makes it 'scrubby' though...

Personally I view .8, .9, 1, 1.1, 1.2, etc. as just 'eh.' But .5? There's a limit there somewhere man, and if you have a .5KDR I think it's been crossed. Even if you're running a TAG and NARC Raven.

I figure if you can't get up to at least a 1.00 KDR with a mech then you really need to look at changing your build.

That said, I'd rather have stats be toggle-able, like Private (nobody can see them), Friends (friends can see them), and Public (everyone can see them), as well as distinguishing between General stats (overall KDR and W/L and such) and Detailed stats (individual mech/weapon/map stats), with the ability to pick different privacy levels for both sets of stats (Public General and Friends Detailed, for instance).

Seriously...the only exception I can think of is if that .5 KDR is accompanied by a 3.0+ W/L ratio or something. I'd probably be impressed with a 2.0 W/L even.

I just don't put much faith in numbers as broad as the stats recorded in MWO, but ya know that, already, lol.

And even then you have to chose between current and Archived. I don't play as often as I used to during CB and OB and after august last year I stop playing for months on end due to school.

Whenever I come back I have to relearn the meta and any mech changes that might have occurred. One quote from coming back from one wait period was pretty much "Oh god, what did they do to my Victors?!"

Add on the fact I'm very slow to grind xp (easily distracted by shiny new mechs) and I'm pretty far behind the curb. I mean in the time that they implemented the "Current" and "Archived" sections, I've played 46 matches.

It should be. I would love to put the STFU on some of the chat warriors.

[Octopot]

Guess I am anxious to figure out which clan mech I want to invest in this time around. My Phoenix-pack purchase was a lesson, even after I got all my variants to master, I still ended up going back to my other old mechs I had before the pack for day to day, burned through more than a 500,000 gxp ugh...

Think I will reach "richer than blake" achievement next month...so thats enough for maybe 2 clan variants (6 mechs) when it's available in August.

Yeah I don't put much thought into stats, butttttt a KDR of .5....
But where would the cut off be? Some people might consider anything over 1 good and not worry about it, but others might jump in and go oh my kdr is 4.5 and yours is only 4.4 there for I am obviously the better pilot and everything you say is wrong.
