Points for a kill.....

[MonkeyMagic 89]

Set up a poll for the way that points are scored for a kill....

 

Obviously the way that points are awarded at the moment for kills is just one way of doing things - its the way that the game is played at the moment, the way that the game is scored. However, apart from Railgun and Thunder (M3) its pretty hard to kill someone with one shot!

 

i think that the way the game scores for kills at the moment is unfair! Furthermore, it actually encourages people to Kill steal! How many times have you died because your team member next to you has waited until he thinks its a good time to steal a kill after you have been shooting/freezing/burning etc???

Its brutal. Not to mention a lot of times the person attempting a kill steal can miss, leading to him/herself getting killed. There are expert kill stealers out there, we all know at least one!

 

I think a fairer way of doing things would be to score a % of points = to the % of health that you kill, with the proviso that you must be alive when the person is killed.

 

For example: If you have a freeze and you kill 90% of the enemy tank and a railgun comes along and makes the final kill (lets say the points awarded for the kill would be 10) then the freeze should get 9 points, the railgun 1!

 

Should the freeze kill 90% of the enemy, but die before the railgun kills the enemy. The railgun should get 100%, the freeze 0%.

 

This to me seems a lot fairer way of scoring the game. Also, it would stop people waiting to steal kills ( a lot of frustration for some).

A person would no longer wait to try and steal a kill, but would instead fire as soon as possible to get as much a % of the kill as possible..... surly a change for the better.

 

Now before you geeks out there tell me that changing the algorithm would cause extra lag, stop and wait for a while to see what someone that actually knows what they are talking about comments!

 

Anyway, would you like a change in the scoring?

This is a problem for some but not all. Most tanki players have accepted kill stealing as a part the game. I don't mind getting one kill stolen.

I see Tanki as a team effort to win...what's the big deal about individual kills? Any way, it all evens out in the end. Change your attitude and become a team player.

Kill stealing is part of the game, just like drugging, so get used to it :twisted:

 

What i want to be changed in points is that the amount of points you get for killing someone depends on rank, not rating :evil: because to get get 10 points i have to kill people that are 3-5 ranks higher than me.... and its hard :evil:

I reckon it's fine as it is, like the 1st comment.

There will be kill stealers, and you have to deal with them.

 

Just a little secret, i'll often steal a few kills myself. But not on purpose. :wink:

I'm surprised to see people complaining about stealing while they are killing.

lock/delete this topic..

kill steal is art ^_^

[Mokpama_rapra 5]

Yes, but for team killers (TK) only. I've played battles with friendly fire, were players kill deliberately on purpose teammates in order to steal the flag they carry and capture it by themselves, so they can move up at the score list for crystals. Others kill teammates to help the enemy team, or just for pleasure. So mean and nasty and disgusting. People, have you ever heard of fair play? I propose for each TK, a penalty decrease of points directly on player rank (not for the specific game at the moment, as the violator may leave the game just before the end) and equal to the point count sum of 10 enemy kills!

It is hard for me to earn points with a good rating, so i just kill steal, no matter what gun i am using, i kill steal, all the time. :twisted:

Kill-stealing is the game! No way change points. I always wait till two people are damaging each other, then attack one of them with my m3 smoky, kill them, attack the other and kill them :)

That does occur if you can give us proof.
