VanFanel1980mx Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Honest question, what's the purpose of a scoreboard in the game? the DEvelopers seem bent on keeping it around and dedicating half the mission progress tab on it, there is no useful data in there all things considered, why do we still have it?

trunks013 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 As a bunch of other things like antitoxin injector i guess sometimes they just forget to remove it i guess ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaotyke Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Because I NEED to know if I got more loot than anyone else. Pickups matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White_Matter Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I'm actually pissed that it doesn't show @ the end of mission anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trst Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Why not have it? Some minor competition is fun to have, for as silly as that may seem to others. As well it's entirely up to you to see them now aside from the "best" stat shown for each player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonDragon Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 But how else will we know how many containers were opened?! Seriously, it needs to go. All good for listing loot and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gasau Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Hell no. How am I supposed to know if there is a leech in the group? I see zero kills in arbitration = im leaving I see limbos = im leaving I see zero kills in survial = im leaving what does the scoreboard interfere with? Or maybe you are a leech ur self? Im watching you 👀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You stop getting experience, credits or rewards if you don’t make any inputs for like 5 minutes, but its extremely to get around anyway as long as you make any input within that timeframe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIREEK Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 It's always a good idea to know where you stand compared to other players, i don't mean just the 3 you played with, but the many you find along the way as it gives an idea on what you did, if you're above or below average, what other players did, among other things. Knowing where you stand enables you to know your weight in the team, or the impact you have on the overall results, if your impact is small, having you dead for example shouldn't change much, but again having you alive won't do much either, this means that players will likely assign objectives to other players or not revive you because reviving you can actually be the wrong thing to do, but this requires alot of experience and gameplay, to decide when to do things and when not to do them. The same goes the other way around, if you are worth the same as 3 players combined (which is kinda the upper limit that you can sustain on the long term), then a team isn't a team of 4 players, it's a team of 6, so obviously you have the biggest impact, you are a priority to be revived, because if you aren't, then the team just lost someone essential and as i came to notice (over 40k complete missions), players adapt well to small increases of difficulty, but if instead you slap them with a "now you have to work twice as hard", then it is likely that the mission will change it's pacing and even the outcome. Players without this experience are VERY unlikely to notice, wave 11 in defense may be similar as wave 10, but if you lost the bulk of the team because he decided to extract, player may realize to late that wave 11 is simply far to difficult for them. Scoreboard enables you to gather info on other players, but also on yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeartPurity Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 That scoreboard is crucial, now with it already got players leeching. If there is no scoreboard, those bunch of afk kids must be over the moon, now no one can catch me with zero kill, even if they do, they got no proof! 🦙 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartPurity Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 and that scoreboard is also useful to tell whether your build is performing better or not, e.g. last time i kill 5K in 1 hour, tis time I only kill 3K in 1 hour, then the build i brought last time is more efficient.

nslay Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 We need more categories. I want to know the player that bullet jumped the most, the player that walked the most meters, the player that reflected the most light, the player that was hit by blast procs thet most, etc...

dreadley Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 We had a screen showing stats with highlighted colors. Maybe the only evidence how you did in the mission. DE already hid it behind cringy victory poses and you want it gone? What's the harm in seeing more stats and having more information? Do you have something to hide?

Do you have something to hide? I would prefer a more expanded loot table, also during missions I can no longer see how much experience bonus I am getting past a certain threshold which makes it harder for me to track how many levels I am getting when trying to level up stuff, all things considered the scoreboard is just "too big" for what it shows right now, the old size PLUS the current drop table PLUS maybe some more space for it would be ideal, they compacted the exp gain a bit but it can still get reduced.
