You would play on a ranked or unranked server?
Since I feel that stats servers can take a long walk on a short pier, Ill be running a UNRANKED server for those of us who could care less about stats and more into “TEAM PLAY” meaning that players care more about “WINNING THE GAME” than those "EGOTISTICAL RANKED STAT SERVERS. I will also have 1 TOURNY per month and it will be a 20 player server ( 10 vs. 10 ).
Also Team Damage Will Be TURNED OFF!!
Perfect For TOURNY’s :stroggbanana:
Stats don’t make a huge deal to me, if a server has good team play and has stats then I’ll pick it over a server that just has good team play.
Well wouldn’t care more and I wouldn’t care less. I would pick whatever server that I feel is more “fun”.
In BF2142, if you are higher in rank, do you get unlocks and stuff?
In ETQW, all I know is that you get bragging rights if you are higher in rank, as in I’m number 1 and I still don’t have any extra guns.
oh yeah yeah, forgot that ranks are based on teamwork, something that a ball hog lacks.
I really think that getting experience solely for doing the objectives shouldn’t be that much. (I can find ways of doing this in very small servers). I think anything that involves other members of the team, like kill assist while soldier is planting and protecting HE charge, or giving ammo/health, or protecting a badly wounded teammate, or if you destroy that pesky cyclops, or titan tank if you’re strogg, to free those number of teammates in tight situations. That is what I call teamwork and should give you the most experience points and thus increase ranking.
Stats are global right? like from server to server or are your stats only on that server?
Stats are global, XP isnt. Xp is gained in a server, cant remember the correct number of round you keep it for though.
XP helps you get extras/unlocks in that number of rounds.(I think)
I’ve voted for Ranked, purely because I run a Dedicated server and I think this will attract more players.
I will be more than happy to run any unranked mods etc in another slot on my server though.
The et: qw stats system isnt build up that way as I understand it, all servers are “ranked”. But I guess it will be possible to turn it off in some way if you wish too.
Hello Forum,
i think this teamplay abilities based Ranked System will works better then the Battlefield System, where somebody kills his own team comrade to get a vehicle and earn more points as he lost when team killing.
I heard your server must meet some qualifications… (I cannot link the source and therefore this might be false. Beware!)
I fear this might be a reason for server rental companies to ask a higher price, although the requirements are not necessarily higher than those of a modded server.

if thats the case just find a better host…
I will be playing on servers running some sort of tournament mode, I doubt stats are enabled in such servers.

That’s another reason why I would not be running a “RANKED” server
what is the reason, if anybody wants to know how good you are then go play with him.
I could care less what other people think of my stats. I only play for the end result “WINNING THE GAME” thats it! … nothing more! nothing less! :stroggbanana:
well yeh, it doesn’t matter if your KDR is 100000/1 but if the other team does the objective successfully then they win.
I don’t think stats are a good idea, but if it’s only personnal stats (that only i can see) and not global ranking crap with a top 10… then i’m ok with it.
^Since the game is very much objective based with choke points, all the frags are either people defending the objective or attacking the objective so every kill counts. It’s even worse when the spawn is close to the objective. you just have to frag over and over endlessly.
maybe play with stopwatch, maxlives, classic map, etpro and FF on with normal speed and charge. you can stop whining afterward. That’s where i’m going to be when QW is launched because i know it will attract all the pro oldies from RTCW and WET i used to play with. And this is the real game/competition for me and alot of other players, teamplay is going to be a must and is going to be great.

If that is the case, it will probably be a similar deal to the Ranked Battlefield games, where the GSP’s are forced to restrict your server access.
I really don’t think (well, hope!) that SD and Activision will be as anal as EA/DICE though… :?:
