Linking your character to your forum user to get total stats.

[RapturJesus 90]

I've always wondered how many total zombie kills, murders, bandit kills, deaths, etc. have happened in my life.

I think having the option to link your character to here, or something similar, would be a neat idea. If you play Halo and have linked your Gamertag to bungie.net, its essentially the same thing.

It would show your deaths, kills, weapon kills, etc.

I like it

I'm pretty sure they will probably do something like that when we get the standalone anyway

No no no no no NO NO NO For the love of everything NO!

Do NOT do this!

Why? Because that's only going to encourage player hunting, hacking, and ultimately will destroy this game. You want proof of this? http://bf3stats.com/ I'm sure is proof enough. Once you start logging stats, stats logging sites will begin to pop up. People will begin fighting over the coveted title of being number one by any means necessarily.

Day Z does not need something that will encourage "competitive play" in it. As it sets now DayZ is a survival game, it does NOT need to have elements of the current crop of FPSs thrown into it making it a CawODewty bastard child by relationship of stat tracking.

If people want stat tracking make it local server stat tracking much like HLXstats for source engine games. That way the issue if it becomes an issue can be contained to the servers that choose to support it.

Lol, sorry what? sounds like you had a bad day on battlefield.

Theres nothing wrong with tracking your stats the same way they track in game, the devs themselves also support competitive play, as do i. not to mention people arent going to look too proud of themselves when they have 168 murders and 3 bandit kills on their record as opposed to the other way around
