What happened to the point system?! I lost 24 points from one death! At this rate not playing for a few weeks i’ll be ranked number 1, anyone who does play is going to lose mass points. I think Lazy was saying he was 17-4 and was down like 54 points. What was the reason behind the point change, and why are the loses so dramatic?

Losing 24 in one death is almost as bad as killing 2 hostages. I’m not too sure I like that.
I’ll look into it ZODMAFA.
I got to ask, i sent MasterP a PM, but is the point of the rank system to reflect the skill of the player or the time played? I am not very good at CS:S. I am about .85/1 KD ratio, but still ranked 13th atm only cause i play a lot. If the rank system is to only reflect skill why not make it KD ratio only?
Yes the new point system sucks huge weiner, but at the same time, I don’t care that much about points…but there were many people complaining about it tonight…
If the points werent there I wouldnt play for them, and I would play purely for fun because I enjoy playing on the server with the regs.. or.. What used to be the regs, some of left, afew new ones have joined. But, sence the points are there I almost HAVE to play for the because I’m competitive, I suppose. When I see “You have lost a super lame amount of points because someone with 1200 points killed you” it naturally makes me want to leave. Thats just how I feel.. I wish I could turn off the point messages for myself, atleast.. /sigh

what was wrong with 15, why did we change it anywho?
Consistency = Server Success
If we are running off the regs, we will see some big changes quick.
lets stop fixing *edited* that aint brok,, i’ll ship you my dell if you wont to tinker with something to make it better.

It protects the regulars while still allowing new people to score points. 15 is much better than 25 and 5. With 25 the higher people get screwed a little too much. At 5, the lower people get screwed WAY too much.

You’ll be okay.
in all honesty, i think the max should be around 20… i dont think it has anything to do with people catching up, but the point system should reflect a persons ability in the game not how long they play. this would give people like chantz and bloodlust a distinct advantage over people with kdr’s way below theirs.
also, i think it would be cool if you added a new way of getting points for successive kills. kind of like getting a bounty, but if you get 3 kills-1 point 5 kills-2 point 7 kills – 3 points and so on… of course without dying. im not sure if this could be done, but it would definately help the point systems ability to judge who is the best player.

I think it already does this. I know there’s an equation in there and I think that it does take successive kills into account. Maybe it’s an option but it does seem like I’ve seen this before. If you’re interested, you can download hlstats at http://www.hlstatsx.org and look through the configs at all the stuff it will do. Then you can make suggestions off of that. It’s just a big bunch of commented php code that is really easy even for a beginner to read.

As evidenced by this thread, we’ve had trouble with raising the point limit before and I think most people are happy with it at 15. I would be extremely hesitant to make it more dependent on KDR than it already is. I don’t want a 10 minute streak to negate a days worth of regular play.
If this is something you feel strongly about create a vote thread and we can see how the community feels.
oh, ye worshippers of the points, enjoy your earnings for now, hopefully within a couple of months I’ll have settled in, and I eagerly await the day I jump on with a relatively clean slate, and thus low points, and sneak up behind you with a knife to destroy your earnings… mwahahahaha.
/evil
seriously y’all, this isn’t your GPA, stats to my knowledge are merely trivial bragging rights on this server, so be more serious about having fun and let ‘kdeath’ do the talking for experience and skill.

server points are definitely more important than GPA….. you don’t have to tell anyone your GPA.. and I can always go back to working at Rent-A-Center
BAM THAT JUST HAPPENED!
but on a more serious note… I’ve never seen a points system that really truly judges skill…. and you also have to remember that the whole system is fallible because it’s based on the skill WHILE PLAYING IN A PUB.. so you get your pub stars and if you consider it that way the people that play the most should have somewhat of an advantage but I think most stats systems give them too much-
one thing to fix… I think that it should be impossible for someone to lose 100 points in one map… that’s just wrong… maybe focus less on losing points and more on gaining points.. bah I could speculate here forever but I don’t think anyone can come up with a perfect stats system

Not so good right there. Now I’m not all about the points but I try to stay in the top 100 if possible.
