Will we have a kill count in pvp? Kills/Deaths like linkrealms
I can't tell if Fractured will have a kill count, but I can tell you that more metrics the better. People like to know what they have done.
So, I am in favor of player kill counts, of pve kill counts (e.g. you killed 100 boars), time spent, gold made and gold spent and everything and anything else.
Now, regarding player kill counts, I'd like sub-categories as well. How many beastmen, how many demons and how many humans have I killed. How may beastmen have I killed at their planet (during my/our invasion) and how many beastmen have I killed who were fools and thought that they could invade the demon planet. Respectively, for humans. Then you can categorize according to alignment and so on. I also would like to know how good those that I killed were. Had the game had classical levels I'd like categories like 1-20, 21-40, 41-49, 50 (endgame/hard cap). So I killed a level 20, move that kill to the respective category. Did I kill a level 50, move that to the respective category. Although Fractured won't have traditional levels, I suppose there can be a similar categorization.
To be more specific;
At Fractured you become more knowledgeable by acquiring knowledge points, which then you exchange for Talent points which you allocate to your talent tree. The more knowledgeable the stronger you are. So you can categorize kills by knowledge points. I don't know if there will be a cap at knowledge points, but for the sake of argument let's assume that there will be, in order to keep things simpler. Assuming that knowledge points cap at 100, in that case we can have categories every 10 knowledge points. So we will have 1-10, 11-20, [...], 91-100. If I kill more people in the 1-10 category than in the 91-100 I will be less good than the person who has more kills at the 91-100 category.
Then we can put that categorizations into another perspective, a public perspective; leaderboards!
Who has killed more boars? Who has killed more dragons? Who has made more wheat? Who has killed more players? Who has killed more 91-100 players?
And then we can imagine gameplay emerging from that;
We are a demon horde and we invade the beast planet. Whose farm are we gonna raid? Of course the person's who has made more wheat!!
I am a demon ganker that ganks at beasties with few knowledge points. The beasties can easily find this out and put my name at the bounty board (assuming that there will be one).
In general, when you suggest to have metrics at a game, I will almost certainly will be in favor.
