Brok21k 38 Posted January 31, 2014 I understand that game statistics sometimes ruin games, or change game dynamics. People often “Farm” stats trying their best to climb the table, playing negatively or glitching / hacking. But,I had a dream.............I imagined having three tier table:Survivor, Bandit, HeroYou can mix up and generate the metrics to create skill ranking for each style.Using kills, loot collects (per min), avg distance from players and so on.Now, if you could tap these stat profiles into system into the server view. So you could find where players are located, we could then introduce bounty’s and better player communication.The possibilities are limitless; imagine Hero’s trying to hunt the best bandits, while the bandits try to hunt the best Survivors. The key is to make these Read-only stats access accessible via an API so the gaming community could make their clans or role play richer. Plus once the stats are accessible, this will take all the stat dependency away from the devs.This won’t affect players who choose to ignore it, due to the size of the servers.

Brok21k 38 Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) The chances of someone finding you in game, will be very rare!!! It'll simply allow for communities to drive their own game play styles. The player styles were just examples! You could just use the API with some kind or forum, to allow for people to trade. You could use Cans of Beans as currency.!And arrange some where on the server to meet! The API is the key here to allow for mods/web designers to craft their ideas The end of the day its a sandbox, if people want to have more of a rpg play then this may help.

Korsbaek 1778 Posted January 31, 2014 If I understand this right, you want to add player locations on the map. You want us to be able to see where the other players are on the server.. What the actual fuck. The FPS forums are that way -------> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What the actual fuck. The FPS forums are that way -------> No, With Game tracker, you can currently locate a player if you know their name. But if we could see player stats, and see what server they were on (not in game, from a webpage). You could join that server, (after finding them on the page) in hope of finding that person. (needle in a hay stack). The feature will expose the player stats and server name only!!! It will not access anything in game. (Only access a database (via a web api) that the, the dayz stats has written to) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
