Stats side display W:ET style

(RasteRayzeR) #1

Hi there. With Tschaims_Pont, we remembered the old days of W:ET and there was a small feature that we think might be a great addition to DB : the player stats sliding display :


This was really great, you pushed the alt key and had this display coming from the left of the screen, in transparency, showing all your stats for each weapon, and this was great to see if you get better with time.

Notice this also tells you how much experience is needed to achieve the next skill level, which can be good if the whole skillshot/achievements system is there (see : http://forums.warchest.com/showthread.php/35367-XP-unlockable-achievements-Humor-required-xD)

Anyone else would like to see that feature in DB ? Because right now the stats are pretty miserable and vague ^^

Features like this will come later, they are focussing on more important things right now :wink:

But it is indeed a very useful feature I would like to see in DB ^^

I can’t say i would need this, if anything would be a distraction during the game, but if others want to use it i am by no means preventing a feature like this.

For me, the current awards tab is satisfactory as long as they provide values for each category that is displayed from the top person on the server, and then the ability for each player to hover the mouse over each category such as “most accurate” and it will display their own value if it is not the highest already shown.

Well, considering you can kill everyone in two pistol shots, I can understand you wouldn’t need such a feature :smiley:

But for the rest of us it’s a good tool to measure how we are progressing, and this can be a way to fill up a bit the time where we have nothing to do, like when you are dead and wait for respawn (since there is no spectator mode yet while you’re dead …)

And this is sooooo not complicated to put in the game, plus they already did it for previous games, so this is a small yet useful feature.

Makes no sense to implement this overlay rather than actual spectator mode when being dead.
There are many things which aren’t that complicated, but they focus on different things at the moment.

And for me this overlay just shows too much information.

Many pro players use it, but yes, spectator mode while dead is THE priority

Should this convince me?

It should convince you that you are not the only one playing the game and that many others would be very very glad to find back this option :tongue:
