[QUOTE=goat72;317148]No, YOU want to see K/D ratio and detailed stats. You only speak for yourself. There are other players who think the same way, I’m sure, but then there are plenty of us who do not.
And yes it may cut the numbers of players down - Black Ops has all that stuff and I don’t play it, so it’s alienated me and all the people like me. So what? Dead Space was rated 18 in the UK which reduced the market they could sell it to and alienated kids. Should they have just made another Little Big Planet clone instead?
As for constructive posts, we’ve seen most of your suggestions 100’s of times before, mainly before the game even got released. It’s just getting a bit old…[/QUOTE]
You alienated yourself. There were plenty of team based objective matches within black ops that you could have inserted yourself in, not to mention more than one type of team objective mode that could’ve easily pleased your taste bud of the day. While K/D scores are taboo within this community, it certainly is a huge factor in the success of the game and player. Before you assume too much of what K/D is, visualize it in a since of “I’m playing a shoot’em up game, holy ****, I’m 23-4, I’m helping my TEAM win.” regardless of the actual win or loss of the match. Having a statistical count on hand, without logging into a website that currently isn’t finished (e.g. brinkthegame.com for the stats site), of points scored per revive, turret damage, caltrop damage, damage healed, ammo refilled, so on and so forth; the player then can take notice to what they should start focusing more on and less of in order to win our team based matches, by the next match. (This was focal towards the people who do no run with groups or friends and just want to jump in a pick up game)
By singling out the K/D argument every time, you might alienate the people that want this game to flourish. Even though you’ve seen 100’s of these recommendations, you fail to acknowledge, by how you respond/post, that if they feel that the developers do not respond or take action to these types of posts with sincerity and open honesty instead of silence, that this game will fail, and will lose the funding necessary to improve and please of it’s community as a whole (not just the hardcore SD and Beth Guys)
In the end, people subject, object, deter, and are left out to dry. If you want to play with 15 bots per match forever (because the base of players has dropped dramatically in response to these types of posts and lack of hardcore community support to the fresh user base), then keep shooting down ideas to possibly increase the overall profit and popularity of this title to provide future installments or updates.
8 Beers, and 30 minutes of concentration to type out this post is not fun. I want this game to be a successful title. There are a lot of great ideas out there that are either shot down by the SD community in a tyrant style or ultimately trolled.
I suggest if you want this game to roll out additional updates or future installments (Brink 2: Beyond the Ark anybody?) Then you start supporting ideas or convince your standing ones without the “**** off, go play some other ****” attitude.
TL;DR You’re lazy.
