Stat padders?

(Garphy) #1

Will Brink have any anti-stat padders mechanisms?
Because the possibility to gain XP both online and offline against bots=heaven for statwhores :rolleyes:

There is no tracking of stats nor a leaderboard. What would be the use of statpadding?

10 characters, each with 20 lvl, after two days of play =\

“Stat padders” sounds like some sort of extreme feminine hygiene product.

If they got nothing better to do with their time… I don’t really see the problem. Everyone will eventually catch up anyways.

Couldn’t say it better.

Let them have their lvl 20 chars, what’s the point?
SD said it shouldn’t take you very long to level your char anyway, so I’m not bothered.

if that play easy bots to quickly get up 20lvls to “own” then switch to online play, thay are going to have a rude awakening when they play ppl who can shoot straight.

An accurate xp distribution system would force stat-padders to be the most excellent players in the match.

First, the bots are supposedly pretty good, so it should be super easy to boost against them. I assume xp levels are different for easy bots vs. hard bots/players.

Secondly, the game is breaking into 5 ranks. So if someone got to level 20 in the first 2 days, he will be stuck play other people in the top rank. There probably won’t be too many people in that rank, thus he’ll be spending a lot of time searching for games.

Or the other people in his rank are like him and spend the whole night getting to that point. Hope they enjoy themselves.

well if you watched the interviews there are no leaderboards, and the game is locked into “tiers” so if your max level by the end of the first day, you will have not have anyone to play with

You will probably have people that would have played all day long and unlocked level 20, and 9 other characters still rank 1. (or rank 0, can’t remember which is it you start with)
