VR Deaths Count Twice???

EVILPIG · 2013-05-14, 12:00 PM

Was goofing around in the VR last night with some outfit mates and I crashed a few times. Looking at my killboard though, the VR deaths not only counted, they all counted twice. Ever seen this?

Sounds like you have encountered a bug there boss. I hope you reported it.

EVILPIG · 2013-05-14, 12:22 PM

Seems it's a PSU thing. It's only 4 deaths on the official site.

"PSU doesn't like you... I don't like you either..."

dead pig = bacon

everybody loves bacon, so double the dead pigs = double the bacon!

Suicides do seem to count, contrary to the entry message.

I thought K/D was a meaningless stat and had a negative impact on the game.
You shouldn't care about this, right?

its a bug not on psu's side, but soe's side. like was said above, kill pig = receive bacon. bacon is awesome. more dead pigs, more bacon.

Moarr bacon!
And yes, K/D has no meaning in this game.

Shogun · 2013-05-14, 03:40 PM

we are pork!
resistance is delicious!
you will be baconilated!

and also yes, the k/d ratio should not have been in the stats at all. it reflects nothing about a dedicated medic, engineer, transport-pilot, or someone who cares for the objectives most.

EVILPIG · 2013-05-14, 04:00 PM

My stance against stats has been well stated for a decade now. I was asking if anyone else has experienced this bug, but as I said, I see it's only reflected on PSU.

Shogun · 2013-05-14, 04:04 PM

sorry for derailing to bacon

i have several issues with the stats.
example: my most used weapon is displayed as the knife! and i haven´t used it at all.
maybe there is more wrong, but i am not keeping track of anything and don´t care for the stats.

Perhaps in your ideal interpretation of the game, bases and outposts would be handed over, not through combat but discussion, persuasion and commercial interests alone. Like a diet EVE online perhaps.

I am happy to state that that is not the case, that killing takes place first and foremost - and less happy perhaps to state that everything else, all other objectives are simply there to facilitate the eternal flow of combat.

Whatever objectives or great goals you think you are achieving are simply push button->receive bacon filler. There is no endgame. Only endless war. So stop kidding yourself that your grinding rituals and support work are of primary importance in a glorified shoot-em-up game.

Until something dramatically changes in this game, K/D is, and will remain, one of, if not THE most important stats in the game.
