Zero the stats need to be modified now that the all the zombie class stats have been completely redone

right now for some reason if I get most of my kills as a zombie even if I'm ahead by about 3 times how many times I got turned my rank goes down

15 kills as a zombie to 3 turnings and geting myself killed once by a human puts me down 7 points

and 11 to 4 puts me down 20 even though I wasnt properly killed (as in killed by a human with a gun) once? it all just seems abit off.

The amount of points is not exact and differ greatly based off of your current rank and the rank of those who killed you and who you have killed. People that have higher ranks get less reward for killing a lower ranked player than they do for killing you. Also depending on the weapon used can alter the points given for example killing a zombie with a usb is better than with an ak.

That really doesnt seem fair for anyone of a higher rank, owning people is owning people
and with that kind of a score I should have gone up not down.

It's just more fun to play as a zombie with the odds way against you than a human
who's basically at a shooting gallery on any map now and I think the scoring system should reflect that.

this version of zm is rigged up in such a way that getting turned really has no befit for the player
who got himself turned on purpose so they really cant abuse it like they used to with the fast zombie.

Additionally I wasnt trying to get turned durring those two play sessions. I was just trying to play the game
normally and it just so happened that it was a hell of a lot more fun to play as the greatly disadvantaged zombie
than a human.

fuck you that ain't fair, all of a sudden he switches the entire way the zmod functions and then its rigged up so only people with guns can own in the stats

that's fucking bullshit.

Focusing on "the point system" is being a stat whore. You want things the old way and I don't get why people are so focused on stats rather than to stroke their epeen cause they fail miserably in other life situations. So a video game strokes their ego. Anyways, who the fuck cares about stats and ranks? This is essentially what your bitching about right? Statistics that are crumbling your rank. Get over it. I really don't understand the appeal of ZMOD and ranks. Here's a good idea. Get rid of the stats all together. It's getting tiring and NO ONE needs to appeal to just you Kavinsky. NO ONE.

Some people place higher value in points and stats than you, Loka. Does that make them wrong? I don't think so. Let people do what they want with their stats and such, they are allowed to feel the way they want.

I enjoyed watching my rank go up by 15 from not playing for a couple weeks. I went onto the server, killed 11 people and died 3 times and lost 25 points on my rank. It's not that I'm stats whore so much as I don't see how that works. I was having an on night, too. I simply got unlucky when someone turned into a zombie inside my cade a few times.

However, I know it will take time for this new ranking system to sink in, and for ranks to settle. As it stands now it's been about 2 weeks since the switch and that's not enough time for things to work themselves out.

I keep reading this wanting to find something constructive, but I'm coming up blank.

A few people act as though stats don't matter, but they do to others. There's nothing wrong with that. Stats really don't change how I play the game, they simply change how I feel when I die by someone else's mistake.

So please, only things that add to the discussion.

yeah your not going to find it here thats for damn sure, its not even worth the effort.

ya you wonder why our community fluctuates so god damn much over a period of 2 - 3 months


so much for a zm where its actually fun to play as both sides.

Also you should note that you get more for killing zombies than killing humans. This is becuase the point of the game is to not be a zombie. The structure of the ranking assumes that you tag 3 humans every time you are a zombie as a base. Also it assumes that if you are a zombie and die it is very bad. You never lose points from being taged by a zombie but you do lose points when you die.
The ranking for a good player assumes:
They kill a lot of zombies
They do not get taged
If they are a zombie they tag a large number of humans
They never die

Thank you. +1!

Also the fact that everyone is slated by the stat changes it means that everyone is scoring points the same as you, it should = out eventually.

Zero my point is that theres no skill to killing zombies anymore, its always rigged up in the humans favor.

I held off nearly the entire team with 2 couches and a p90 ffs.

If its rigged up that way the zombie should get more points for killing the human than the human massacre the fucking zombies.

Zmod is supposed to be about the zombie appocalipse not a fucking shooting gallery with humans playing as the zombie targets, If I wanted that I'd go play zombie panic source.
