Player card, Statistics

Dear Darkflow Team,

First of all, congratulation Yours game! I just played few matches but I can say it’s fine and fun to play with it.
But I really missing of some kind of statistic card or player summary. Where We can check the win / lose ratio, k / d ratio… (maybe not public just for the player)
Do You plan to add player card or something like this?

I’d also like to see my statistics for squads, weapons… Which is my best squad? And best MG? My best soldier?

Same. I always farm statistics. Win ratio it’s always something I m after…

Maybe that, nothing public. If I wanted some to see solid dose of toxicity from elitists (sometimes trash anyway), I would go back to MuH StATistIcS Thunder.

It needs to be public 100%
It’ll save a lot of time when you can just point out that someone who is trying to critique the balance is just god awful at the game. Bad players do not need to be catered to past a certain baseline of accessibility.

You do make a very valid point :thinking:
Those who cry about balance issues and request nerfs are either not very good or just classic “mains” completely shunning the faction they request nerfs for.

Another useful public stat could be the % of matchs played in every faction per campaigns. This way when we’d see snowflakes crying about jumbos this or fg42 that, we could just say “yeah… shut the **** up…” when seeing it’s an offended “main”

maybe a setting to set for in game privacy but on the forums it should be 100% visible

Being elitist like @47094123 said is one thing, letting literal retards dictate balance as if their take on it has any validity is something else.
Agree wholeheartedly with your post.

I’m unsure if I would like this change. On one hand, I’m confident my stats would be quite good. But on the other… I would probably start massively tweaking out the moment any of my stats falls below a certain point. That happened to me in Warthunder and World of Warships. My stats were good, but just having that information staring you in the face… it can really make one start tryharding to the point the game isn’t fun anymore just to regain that 1% drop in WR you experienced after a few bad games. It’s not pleasant.

I do agree that someone with terrible stats probably shouldn’t be the one developers listen to in regards to balancing. However, that doesn’t mean they are incapable of some insight into the game. Like or not, below-average players are a part of the playerbase and they view the game through a lens that a good player might not. As such I don’t think such players should be ignored in regards to balance, but their suggestions should be taken with a heavy grain of salt and reviewed thoroughly.

With their stats being taken into consideration, of course.

Pretty much that, also last thing I want to see is the WT´s common practice of just abusing chat or (in this particular case) forum freedom by wild discussion whose … is bigger and thus is more entitled to x or y, while completely drowning actual good ideas or strategies of at least some people trying to actually communicate.

OP probably have good intention, but it would be very naive to think this will actually end in a way as good as he hopes for. This stuff goes up into the head very quickly.

I could agree on that. What I completely disregard are players lvl 29 on one faction but who never EVER play the opposite one and request nerfs to it. Those have literally no experience playing the faction they want screwed and/or just plain hate it AND the players playing it (!) thus wanting all possible disadvantages to happen to them, while saying quite retarded “comments” like “G*rmtards” or “allied/soviet bias” :expressionless:

Eh, I do main the Axis personally (although I play Soviets on Moscow), but I do agree that even if you main a faction, that you shouldn’t just call for nerfs to the other side. One can think something is “OP” from their own perspective, but without ever having tried the other side out and experienced it first hand, it’s only part of the story. The other side could very well feel differently. At the very least people should admit they focus on a single side and that they may be biased when calling for nerfs or discussion balance.

Private statistics, yes. Public, no.

In War Thunder some people abuse this to insult other players or judge your message “defend the cap” as invalid because they have +0.5 K/D more than you

Just imagine those premium users with 3 planes playing only suicide bombing. They would get lot of kills, lot of assists. Really high statistics. Do that make their argument on a subject more valid ?

I agree that some people will complain agressively while they only have 2 hours ingame or never played another nation/campaign. Doesn’t mean what they say is always wrong/bad however

While public stats can be interesting sometimes, WT thaught me the toxicity coming out of it is too damn high

Separate stats for vehicles infantry and distinguish how you got the kills
Boom
CAS shitters sufficiently dabbed on

We also all know the most important stat is time spent playing the objective

K/D metaslaves can eat their hearts out when Objchads walk into the thread tbh

i disagree with the statment “bad players can’t critique the game”, i agree to a ceraton point like if you have less than 50 hours you should have a little more experience or dont talk about something you havent unlocked and test yourself.

but some players maybe be bad at the gun play of enlisted, but they can still found issue and debate them with the community if they have experience in video games in general.

I agree completely, everyone is free to give their feedback and its on us to use all the information we should have on hand to make judgement for or against it.
You don’t have to be good or anything to know something is fucked up, but we also don’t need room temp IQ lemmings getting shit on then coming begging for kneejerk nerfs to something. That’s all. There’s a difference between being bad and offering feedback and being bad and gurgling white hot radioactive takes onto the forum and expecting to be taken seriously.
Others have put it better than I’m able when it comes to faction mains coming onto the forums and spouting gibberish and asking for nerfs of the other side.

in this case i agree 100% and this type of people exist everywhere, i dont think there is even a method to make them change their ideas.

Should we look for a compromise?

Full, detailed stats about personal performance (kdr, win ratio, etc.) as private info, so anyone wanting to brag around can post them at will, but stat-shamers can’t use them in an argument.

On the other hand, stats about game activity and preferences (total matches played per campaign, current level per faction/campaign, % of time spent playing specific squads) could be public, to help figuring out someone’s perspective when they complain or make suggestions.

I believe that

should be replaced by amount time played per faction/campaign. After all you can pretty much buy your way through easily without even knowing what you are doing.
