My Kid is ruining my K/D!

[Blynd]

My son used to gun outfit members mags when he was 7 but usually just shot everything that moved. Now he is 13 and for xmas he gets a laptop so will be playing ps2


I agree with electro its so hard to explain the difference between a game and reality

This is such an adorable thread, kids are so innocent, funny hearing some of these stories.

Not sure K/D should be included in our shiny new signatures or at least allow the stats shown to be customizable. It would be cool to see how many medic revives done or assist exp gained rather than overall k/d/exp farm.

I like that idea, if someone plays a medic all day, they're not gonna want to show off their 0.X KDR, but if they could show 5k revives lol, that be badass.


And on topic: Cute stories in here, kids are funny :P

I let my son make his own character(he is 8) just to fart around with. So I'm sitting in the kitchen and I think he is playing his TR character. Then he comes in and says "Dad, how do I switch to rockets when I fly?" I tell him he can't because his character doesn't have it. He says, "well...I'm playing on WarChimp." I run out to check and the little bastard has a 1:10 K/D! He says he likes to play my character because it has cooler stuff.

I know, it's just stats, who cares, but I like to try and keep an accurate track of how I'm doing. Kept wondering why it seemed like no matter how good I was going it wouldn't budge. Guess he just wants to play like his pop, lol.

I would have had 450 KD ratio if my kid did not play my char either

If you spend allot of time as Libirator pilot you won't end up with a high K/D too, but sill get decent amount of exp.

Of course not. But every game ever made is about becoming better at it. K/D is one of the better stats to see how you are improving. But your K/D is just interesting to you as only you know how your playing and there for only you know what the stats are showing.

[Blynd]

I see the k+a/d as a more useful stat then straight k/d
Cause if tou are running a ligtening or gunning a mag you may not get the kill the majority of the time but you may have done the majority of the damage.

Same goes for stale mates in bases sometimes you just have to rush a room to see where people are so you can go back and get them out rather them sitting there waiting for someone else to do it cause you don't want to die

I prefer to keep my K/D low via "Sunderer-Sucide-Repair"-Action

Spawn, repair, get certs, die. Spawn, repair, get certs, die.

I wish I had some kind of slave to do this when I am at work.

Best. Cert. Gain. Ever.

And I have the "Mostly Harmless" perk skilled that way as well.

my team killing my ratio lol. i think i been shot and ran over more by NC then any of the enemy

[Fear The Amish]

so my 6 year old nephew was watching me play and wanted a turn so i let him roll around with my mag. Explained that he just shoots at the red triangles etc... he was doing well so i went to the kitchen to make us some lunch when i came back "Uncle Evan why can't i shoot anymore" i look down and try to figure it out and discovered what he was atacking. So i asked him what he was attacking before it stopped firing "well there were no red triangles so i started shooting the frisbee's" "Frisbee's?" "yeah the ones that look like me".... i quickly made him his own account.
