I see we are now in Season 2. how long is a season?

[Zoeff]

From the patch notes:
Quick Play Leaderboards now operate on a 'Season' system. The current Season can be seen at the top of the Leaderboard screen. The scheduled end date of the current Season is also presented there.

Looking at the end date being Sept 1st, I'd say each season is 1 month.

I just have one question. Is there any real point to the Leaderboard?

Its great for calling out those "AWESOME" light pilots who say lights are fine and they need nothing...... Only to find they pilot heavies and assaults and have not piloted a light once :>

Just Ask Stone up there he knows what I mean...... but in his defense his name through us all for a loop.


Other than that... they worthless.

[EvilCow]

Calling out people is the main use.

[Stone Wall]

lmao same here Delford. I was probably under the influence when I made the account and added a double space or adding the extra space was the only way to get the name. I do remember just StoneWall was taken.

I like the leaderboard.

Some forumwarriors with +15000 posts had a tendency to be arrogant and insulting to players with a different opinion. Now they are more carefull, because you can not tell others that they are a "potatoe" that needs to "git gud" when you find yourself ranked at 36556 and everyone can check it.

My alt account is ranked top 50, bro. 10+ WLR and 10+ KDR. I just can't tell you which one it is.

I don't see myself on the main Leaderboard after the reset. Here we go again.

I was not talking about you. Everything I ever read from you was always polite and subject related and I can agree with most of the points you are talking about in the forum. Once or twice I also dropped with or against you, so I know you are not one of those that only write about the game but rarely ever play it.


Best regards!

Haha, thanks! I was just making fun of myself a bit there. I wish my stats were better, but I definitely do play a lot. Cheers!

where is the leader board anyway? I never even seen it outside of events

[Mister Blastman]

Resetting it is no good. They should have two tabs--long-term stats and current month. How else will we be able to easily search and see if bads are bads?

Type my name into the search box and go from one season to another. Once I've played a few games this season you'll see I haven't gotten any better as it will hold onto the searched name.

Frankly, I'd rather have a REST-based API to get the raw data and then I'd create the visualizations myself.

Not sure what REST-based is (science is my realm of knowledge) but it sounds good! They should allow us to export the list by default so we can play with it.

In case you're interested, here are the basics.


Now if only all developers in my organization start getting up to speed using something better than the ancient, complicated, and always custom coded Java stuff they insist on. But that's another story.

Yeah! What the **** is this nonsense!? At least the leaderboard game me SOMETHING to strive for. Slowly, with much practice and patience I could get my average match score from 263 to 300 or something... what the hell is the point if they just reset it all the time. A pox on you PGI!!!
