Top players now can be seen in phgstats (http://www.ldg-gaming.eu/phgstats/index.php) on the URL: http://www.ldg-gaming.eu/phgstats/index ... Players=as

Press on the column header to sort by it. Attacker column checks how much you are worth as an attacker. If you do not see 1.00 under yourself, then you are most likely shieldrunning too much.

EDIT: Poll added about the skill visibility.

PS I think this is too weighted heavily on K:D. I know I spoke to you about tracking objectives Izumo and you mentioned how difficult it would be on a per map basis, but as it is currently, its just deathmatch rankings.

As it should be. Assault is still a game of killing and I'd like to see a midskill team beat a mid-highskill team consistently.

Woah buddy.. doing objectives is frowned upon here. Tread carefully!

Would it be possible to also implement an "attack ladder"? Like the def one, but adding vehicle kills as normal kills and objectives would count, for example, for 2 kills? I'm still frustrated to have no stats on the scoreboard when I'm attacking. And it would also reward the obj takers.

Also is it possible to make it accessible anytime, as it seems to be the case in BW?

You can toggle scoreboard view mode by F3 (or show local stats), it will first show DEF, then ATT, then overall. Vehicle kills are excluded - you can see it as being "rewarded" by getting no death if you die combating a vehicle. As said, objectives are yet to resolve, so the score is given fairly to all people helping with the objective.

I don't understand what you meant by the "all time accessibility"? You can see it from here too: www.ldg-gaming.eu/phgstats/index.php

Assault is game of doing objectives and advancing through the maps, with both time and killing taking its part. But we have no reliable way how to grade "time" part, that would award all players doing the objective fairly, also due to lack of map support. Thus only the "killing" part is graded - for attackers isn't true that best k:d denotes best player (farming & not doing objectives) but you can say that for defenders and that's why only defenders are taken into account.

I made a post here but then I saw that it made absolutely no sense and I'd skimmed too fast.

I'm not sure a time component is workable or necessary. For the purposes of a skill balancer, combat skill alone should be considered as it's far and away the biggest factor in determining victory or defeat.

Most games on LDG are balanced, so nets usually end up -5 ~ +5.

I have some suggestions to improve the scoreboard:

- The scoreboard always displays the defenders kills/deaths, could it be possible to have the attackers one for attackers and leave the defenders one for defenders?
- Also when you choose to display the overall kill/death ratio by pressing f3 for example, when you close the scoreboard and come back it displays the defenders ratio again. Could it be possible to remember the last displayed option?
