Are there any plans to split the faction leaderboards into scout and invasion? The dedicated scout players get overshadowed by even semi active invasion players score wise.

Who wastes time scouting outside of an event?

Less money than QP/Invasion for time invested.

Never scout outside an event.

I have 69 invasion matches vs 373 scout matches. I seem to always find people to play with so there are scouts out there.

[justcallme A S H]

Not saying there are no people, but the queue is usually max 4/4 outside of an event because the rewards are just too low generally.

Hence I doubt PGI will ever split it out.

Scouting is fun, that's why we do it. Main reason people play any game....

[Jman5]

They should because the two modes are so wildly different. At the very least there should be a filter for Invasion/Scout stats only.

Do people take the leaderboards seriously...?

also one might not want their faction yelling at them for not scouting.

The Leader boards put the nail in the coffin for team play. In both QP/FW. Finding team players, who want to win instead of getting high damage and match score is next to impossible. This also caused the game to head down the slippery slope. Call of Robot should this be named, because thats all it has become. Single man shooter.

Man, I'm kind of at the point where I'm more concerned with gameplay/fun than rewards. Like, more c-bills? Just throw them on the pile, I suppose.
That said, I enjoy Invasion way more than Scouting, but I wouldn't begrudge anyone their choice of game mode.

Those 420 guys certainly do but thats it I think

[GoatHILL]

I don't take the leaderboards seriously I was just pointing out they should be split.

Since you are ranked on KMDDs its silly not to split to modes.

For example: My numbers.

69*48 = 3312 possible KMDDs
373*4 = 1492 possible KMDDs

All I'm saying is if they are going to do leaderboards do it right.

People who want artillery.

[justcallme A S H]

lol. true.

But to get LT when its 4/4, that takes like 2-3hrs and lots of wins or something crazy like that from memory. Hence never seeing it out side of events and what not

haha yeah for some, they don't need them. I've only got 60 something mechs, 10 months of playing this game. The majority of people I play with are still buying mechs so they need the cbills!

Nah not begrudging at all, just outside of events the actual mode itself is quite dead for the most part and it does remove people from the larger queue - Another discussion/issue entirely. I just never see anyone scout outside of an event, and that's being serious - never see even 4/4 :/

The most broken part about the leaderboards are the planetary defense wins. shits broken

[justcallme A S H]

Absolutely agree. Defend a single tile, get a tag/win credited as long as your tag had the numbers.

Probably the simplest thing to get so wrong outta Phase 3. Totally skews the leader board.

[UberStuka]

its even more broken then that. if the same planet is un-contested in the next attack phase but there is a attack lane for it then the unit that has their tag on it already gets another planetary defense win added to the board.

So in theory you could defend one tile and get a planetary defense win on the leaderboard for every attack phase until the planet runs dry of MC or another unit defends against an attack to put their tags on said planet or the attacking faction changes lanes.

Oh wow... GTFO... I didn't realise it was that bad.

That is supremely stupid.
