I'm fine with keeping them & making them public, I'd just like them to be more detailed, especially showing the difference in stats between PUG solo drops, 2-4 man groups, and 8 man groups. Suicides and disconnects should also have separate stat tracks. It would be great if things could be even more detailed (by mech chassis, by map, etc.) but at some point it would just be information overload. As is, IMHO the raw K:D is meaningless without knowing something about the team make up in each game.

What Cong said.

I'm not sure anyone dislikes stats per se, what they do dislike is people playing like douches in order to pad their stats

Where's the "Shut up, you're stupid" option?

Honestly, you really aren't in much of a position to comment on very much in this game, at all:

With only 2 mechs you really aren't experienced enough, in the game, to have opinions based on anything other than speculation and hearsay.

Give us the option to pay MC to have them reset.

well, lets see....

current status : 2 mechs
previously:
3 hunchbacks, promoted to elites - sold all
3 atlases promotes to master - sold 2
3 phracts included ILM - promoted to elites all - sold
1 cicada - sold

already tried stalker, commando, awesome TRIALS

not enough ?

How about just get rid of stats altogether? It's annoying and really doesn't mean anything. My stats are terrible, but I consider myself a good pilot. I just never drop with a group and am always Pugging, which causes me to lose a lot of matches. On another note, I've noticed way too many people disconnecting right before they die so that they don't get a "death" in their game, which causes those killing him to not get a "kill". Which is annoying since I like to kill ****! lol

I say we just abolish stats altogether and let God sort it out. haha

You've never piloted a Centurion, therefore your opinion is biased.

...wait, you sold the 4SP?
WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!?

Not that I know of, but I'm not a huge gamer. Just seemed like a feasible idea because if people want it reset bad enough they can and will pay. They get what they want and PGI gets a little more moneyz

They need to track a lot more stats.

Totals for damage done, assists, kilometers traveled, individual weapon damage, ammunition consumption, JJ travel distance, head shots, XL engine kills, leg kills, salvage rewards, damage rewards, kills on individual mechs, kills on maps, number of shutdowns, number of overheats, favorite mechs to pilot, and many many more. They need averages for anything applicable as well.

They should be tracking everything they can if it is an easily quantifiable stat. The more stats that are tracked the less important KDR becomes. Also, it paints a better picture of your personal Mechwarrior Online career, and I love that idea.

Stats will even out in the long run. They are fun to look at but do not mean anything in game. For stats to be helpful, more stats would be needed. Assists, disconnects, PUG, 4 and 8 man stats, damage, etc.

[Armorpiercer M82]

roughneck45, its the opposite to me, but could work nice, when it really can show:

- stat padders (KDr)
- cbills boots
- suiciders
- disconnection bots

then yes,... could be.

Just need to add in a disconnection stat - although to be honest it is just so amusing when people D/C before they die that we could probably just leave it as is

I mean really why do people do that? Are they really that insecure?? The mind boggles.


btw I would love to see damage done and accuracy PER WEAPON. I say that because I'd love to know how much I am doing with my AC vs my SRMs vs my ML. As in what weapons do I need to work harder on or how can I tweak my loadout to make myself a better player.
