Death and destruction stats on Active Player page.

May 23, 2010 Roda Slane link
I would like some stats added to the active players page.

total players deaths
total bots destroyed
Deadliest sector
Deadliest player
Deadliest bot

On a table by 24 hours, and 7 days.

edit: and pks

would this be better in the "duel stats" page? or on its own "Stats" page?

I like the general concept, though.

+.5 Not really necessary, but ok.

Not all pks are duels, and the duels page does not give someone a concept of recent activity.

I don't care if it is a separate page, but most people that are trying to judge recent activity will look at the active players page.

It is intended to attract new players. It is not necessary in much the same sense that new players are not necessary.

Think of ways to add to the website that will encourage new players to join. (besides forum trolling competitions...)

gottcha. It's just that it doesn't have as much to do with "Active Players" as much as "Recent Players", which threw me off. Of course, my other thread has to do with "Recent Players" as well, so who the hell knows how I got confused. carry on :).

Deadliest player

Nope. All the others are fine.

I was just thinking about some of this stuff in a different thread.

Total players deaths: +1, includes player deaths to bots and accidents and /explodes?
Total bots destroyed: +1
Deadliest sector: +1

Deadliest player: -1, only because I can see this being abused in several fashions. The abuse would not really do much except make the player seem more dangerous than he or she is... of course, there are those who would actively seek the deadliest player out and attack him/her.

Deadliest bot: +1, just for poops and giggles.

Player kills: +0/-0, I kind of feel like this could, not break... but muck up immersion, only because the total player deaths is already there so this just seems a bit superfluous. No strong opinion either way on this one.

On a table by 24 hours, and 7 days. +1

I'm a bit too lazy to hunt up the thread where someone requested a separate stat for killed by other players, but it seems to me that this would be good enough. Alot of mmo's have stats pages that give this info, just for bragging rights. It'd be spiffy and all, but probably not a priority with so much else in VO needing attention at the moment.

I love numbers and stats.

Maybe this would be an intro step into "VO Book of Records"...

Even if the devs just put in the parts that most people agree on, it would make the APL look much more active.
