What Breaking Dead tells us about the player base

I got “placed” about 41,000 having completed all the reward stages but only ever getting to Lvl 16 - but that tells me that over 40,000 people did better than me … I wonder what the lowest place number was for someone who completed all the reward stages??

Also completed all the engineering stages that were on during it…

I’m guessing you played solo.

I think most solo players won’t have spectacularly high standings unless they either got lucky or are cracked.

Don’t get me wrong - I’m not looking for excuses for my ~27k ranking - that’s on my lower-mid skills and 50 year old reaction time. But… playing with only randoms made it pretty rough in more than 90% of matches. I’ve played out matches where there were only two of us from the drop :rofl:

I still thought it was fun.

Yeah all solo - had 1 x 2 person match, a couple of 3 person, and a couple 4-person where 1 person was AFK the whole game!! About 24 total I think - can’t log in to check just now.

I suspect your 50 yr old reactions are lightning compared to my 64 yr old ones :older_man: - I even have a Beatles song for me for a few more months, and then I’m officially an old age pensioner!! :open_mouth:

Well, the highest accomplished wave has the biggest impact on the rankings.

If you want to get to top 10%, you need to reach ±23 wave.

Btw, you still have ±week to achieve it.

Age does affect our skills.
My aiming speed and accuracy is less now.
But I’m 51 and yesterday was still p8000 top 6%.
Just logged in now to check, down to p9000 still top 6%.
I only play solo and reached wave 23 and 501 kills.
I was disappointed to be defeated because I could have gone further.
So it should be possible for you oldtimers to get higher on the leaderboard.

With the event ending soon, but the Operation continued for a week, I was hoping the leaderboard would also end with the event…so I finish at a decent place.
For an old guy, anyway. :smile:
I guess it makes sense to keep the leaderboard up, as long as the Operation is running…
But it still says this, should be updated real soon then:

I am surprised at the number of real veteran commanders sir.
It is cool that you are enjoying video games even though you are a real veteran sir. :laughing:

If you are currently at top 6%, I believe you should be okay and stay in top 10% until next week.

Ahah, noob! I played 3 full match! Then stopped playing due to schedule… had to play today just to post this snark comment here :smile:

Edit: I didn’t bother unlocking the event portraits and stuff… too busy… I’ll keep switching between SAS Jesus and Bob the builder new portrait.

It’s real. I’m comfortable with it. I was much better at gaming in my 20’s and 30’s. I’m still effective but in raw competition, reaction time is one disadvantage. I’m sure that with 3 good partners I could still get a high round zombie score, but don’t much care. I’m not as good a player as the legit leaders (or the legit top 5 - 10%).

It’s like cycling. I can’t do that at the same level as I could in my 20’s, 30’s or even 40’s. That’s life. Expectations adjusted.

Slower reaction time but more mature (sometimes) and more wise. Or that’s what I tell myself.

On the flip side, I’m a better leader of people at work than I used to be. I’m a better father every day. So… you take what you can and enjoy the ride. I enjoyed Breaking Dead!

But yes, don’t worry about age.

Our reflexes lower a bit… But we learn to make do other ways: with smarts. Ruse. Battlefield awareness.

Those qualities are often very lacking on most, and being at the right place at the right time often beats being a crack shot.

Communist Party: It is (ours)

I don’t hate this activity
but he is boring
I hope I don’t have to waste more time in the next few days trying to maintain my ranking.

It was originally expected that the game’s player base would not exceed 20,000
It seems I still underestimated

But does this game really have that many players?
I often feel like I always meet the same people
There may be 2 or 3 games where we won’t meet each other
But we still often encounter
