I've found that since you patched in the kills and deaths on the scoreboard less and less people actually try to fulfil the objectives of the current map.

I'm assuming this has got to do with "KDR whoring" (Kill/Death Ratio). People are getting too caught up in getting scores like 26 kills, 0 deaths when they should be carrying the gold bags, etc.

The only mode where you should care about how many kills and deaths you have is shoot out.

I feel reverting back to not showing them (with the exception of shoot out). The exp system is a great scoring system and I feel it is the best possible way of showing how much of a credit you are to the team.

I noticed that to. Although I do like to see my KDR I dont really care if it is there or not.

Yeah, I feel that since it is on display I should do well... whereas if it wasn't I wouldn't care.

It is a fine balance. We removed it completely but a lot of people was upset so we put it back between the rounds. Maybe we should have a poll to let you decide. :)

I think it should only be displayed during shootout matches!

I like not having my K/D on the in game score boards, mid round is fine, just because I want to see it.

I agree with the KDR only being shown during Shootout games, or between rounds. I'm like one of the only players carrying the bloody keg to the safe.

BTW That took lightyears for me to figure out. xD

Get a poll up Fatshark and let us decide. I do agree that its making the game a lot more deathmatchy in games it shouldnt be. Getting the keg or gold should be attractive.

Yeah we should probably have a poll.

We are also looking into letting you people decide the priority on features that should go into the game as well. It wil probably be on our forums at forums.leadandgold.com but I will post here when the idea goes live.

Cheers,
