Something that has been missing from fa that other games hav

Postby SeraphimLeftNut » 11 Sep 2015, 16:16

At the end of the game players are awarded medals for being best at something. This can be coupled with the per unit kill counts.

Example:

MNB - Most t2 flak kills 40 (unit lived from 12:05 - 15:37)
SCAccount - Most t1 bomber kills 26(unit lived from 3:00 - 5:00)
Zock - Most ACU kills 150 (unit lived from 0 to end)
etc.

Looking for people's comments/ideas.

How easily can this be implemented?
What are the best categories?
What information should and should not be included?
Should this information be exported to FAF and should there be a top player list with links to replays?
etc.

What about simple rewards like winning streaks in ladder or something? What you are suggesting looks nice but I don't think Sheeo & co are waiting impatiently to make it :lol:
I'm watching you!

It would be great to given information about the winning streaks or losing streaks before each ladder game to both players.

Not related to the game, but faf should have like some sort of weekly polls asking some interesting or semi-useful questions. For example "Who is your favourite player and why is it Petricpwnz?" or "Which of the maps listed below is your favourite?".

I think detailed player statistics would be great. Something like "top units" listing the units the player killed most enemy units/mass investment with. Also a record for each unit (like what you said). And then making a global record list too. Would be some programming effort, though. Main problem would be gathering statistics from games. You will have to mod the main game since it cannot be extracted out of replays (so it would have to be sent to database during the game, or replay file would have to be changed).

Really helpful would be that list also in terms of balancing.
if those unit stats can be put besides each other (before and after a pacth i.e.), we could see how the changed behavior affects the game as a whole.

There was something like this at the launch of supreme commander. But it soon stopped working. As an idea it's awesome, but I think it should be simple to have longevity..
