Why? What's the point?

What's the point for other games to have it?

Sometimes people do a lot of damage and just don't get the kill shot.

So? If other games have a pointless feature, we should, too?

I would be interested in just seeing how many assists I have. I mean it is somewhat pointless other than curiosity. But I can go through furballs and not really have a high amount of kills but do tons of damage to people. I'd like to know how many assists I have.

[edit] although most of the time it is hitting valks and watching them run.

'killstats' are nothing more than curiosity (and achievements, but arbitrary at that). We could also have a "water carrier" badge for someone with more assists than kills :-)

Nahin, during WWI and II, pilot kills were totaled by full and half kills - a half kill being an assist. You are correct in noting "why" in that VO makes no use of the number of PKs a player has other than a badge, but should we get other things (e.g. Notoriety XP), PK assists might be of use.

That makes sense, but perhaps we can save implementing assists until we get "Notoriety XP."

Or do both, since they both walk hand in hand.
