fortysixandtwo I believe the line above clearly contradicts with what I posted, thus it is the reason why I posted it. About as clear as you can get.

I will save everyone some time here;

Please refer to the original competitive team kdr circle jerk.  That went about as equally nowhere as this appears to be going.


Lupin;

When you post a list of competitive players who are below Tal's suggested KDR, you are calling people out and potentially causing them to feel embarrassment.  As you are well aware, you are also on that list.  You are in no position to be calling out any of your fellow teammates.  

When I asked about the utility of the post, I was attempting to further get you to elaborate about your intention when creating said post.  Something I think you might not have fully considered.

If you post just stats, with no explanation; this imbues the post with a negative demeanor.  As previously mentioned, it just simply makes it look like you are being a tattle tale for who isn't up to snuff. However, if you were to post your own stats with a message of "let's work on our kdrs together" or something, that promotes a more positive image and fosters team work.

So, LupinMay, since I am clearly not getting it.  Did you post those stats with the desire to inspire your teammates, or to make people feel self-conscious?  

Talron is attempting to push us all to be better. And we need to be better. We don't lack for teamwork, we prove that over and over during ops. For comp, though, we need to improve our individual skills. Competition, especially PAL, is different from what we're used to. It's going to take more than just our usual good team work. Every one of our players needs to start thinking differently. PAL is going to be less like planetside and more like a traditional FPS. KDR will matter whether it we consider it a useful measure of a player's worth or not. I'll be the first person to condemn KDR in the live environment. In competition, though, Talron has a point. We all need to start taking our individual skill to the next level. We don't have an entire platoon to rely on. There will be no chaff to leaven the impact of those really killer players. Every real challenge we'll face in comp will probably be handpick teams of the best twitch players the top outfits can put together. Every death we take will be felt keenly. Minimize our deaths and maximize our kills.

We're a casual outfit trying to play in a serious arena. We don't cherry pick the best players on the server, but we'll be playing against people who DO. If we want to have a chance, we need to all step it up quite a bit.

It's ok that you mis-understood my message Lupin. Mags was pretty much spot on with reiterating when it comes to the fact that I'm trying to push you guys to work on your individual play and every time you login to the live server try to have a play session with at least a 1.5kd.

We are a competitive team and we need to hold ourselves accountable and push ourselves to the max potential outside our comfort zone.

Now here's an inspirational speech to motivate your ass.

No offence taken Lupin.



"The Bald guys looks alot like Changes"

also lupin thanks for pointing out my k/d i usually dont pay attention to the over all k/d of my char
and on a side note i will echo what tacos said i am open to crtitsicm to my playing style and any pointers will be greatly appreciated

Play to fight not to farm. You won't learn farming.

I would say that KDR both matters and doesn't matter. We can't see KDR from overall perspective as it counts all Vehicle, Infantry and Air into it. Counting infantry KDR from the beginning of character creation also doesn't matter for me because we get better as we play.

What kind of matters is probably the KDR during nov-dec 2013, in which it would record your skill recently or just use the accuracy from stats.dasanfall.com . I support the usage of infantry accuracy better overall

What about support class then? Engi is suppose to repair and medic is suppose to revive not to kill! They were given guns for a reason. Ability of medic or engi to finish enemy before reviving and repairing is crucial too

i can make it

I played extremely horribly this practice. I could not "snap to" on enemy players to save my life. I'm not sure what the problem is but it made me really angry and loose focus/perspective. Got a few decent revive nades out but I'm not happy with my overall performance this practice. Sorry for leaving TS early. I'm going to fiddle with my settings and see if I can't find out what went wrong.
