So they changed dsr to skill rating.Thing this only stat cant determine skill of player.
They should change it to something like kill rating.
it’s everything but skill rating hahaha
Wow, Skill Rating? Really? What does it mean? How much of a coward you are?
Maybe they’ll gradually change the formula to something skill based. Considering DSR can be farmed, you can’t fix it without first renaming it.
If they want to introduce a “skill rating”, they’ll have to take in consideration ALL the stats of the player, from DSR, to Total Damage, including Total Healing, Capture Points, even giving “points” per each medal (idk, weird idea: Teamwork medals give plenty of points toward the “skill rating”).
Otherwise is just “Farming Rating”.
Why don’t they just add average efficiency in battle.
Or to make it more fair (Player eff)/(Team eff/number of player on team)
This gives you a fair rating according to your other teammates. And add this together, divide it by the number of battles and you have a perfect rating of how effective you are in battle.
It should be more complicated. It should be based on how you use your ship and it’s class. Is your guard guarding? Are your interceptors getting beacons? ECM using it’s class modules? Only gunships and LRF should be kill dominated in theory. A buf assist on a command gets points, but buffing to prevent a death will save your teammate and you get no points.
Skill Rating? LMFAO what a joke. We have been saying all along that the DSR is a worthless stat, and now they make it seem like this number determines someone’s skill. OMG these DEVs really need to get their heads out of their…
Well if it is such a ''JOKE" why are some of the CORPS still using it as criteria to be at a certain level to join ?
Because they are relying on the wrong things. I don’t give a crap about someone’s DSR. I look at their other stats, Medals, and Achievements. The DSR is a worthless stat because it can be manipulated. Also, I have known people that were trying to get into Corps that require a certain DSR to do counter productive things such as wait for someone to be almost dead, swoop in and steal the kill, and then go HIDE the rest of the round. Or Suiciding before someone could kill them to save their precious DSR. They told me that the Corporation they were trying to get in told them to do these things to increase their DSR. I lost all respect for those people, and especially the Corps that do that.

Because the DSR means you can survive long enough to complete objectives, rather than being dead half the time.
I went farming for dsr once, just to see how high can i get. 1500 is quite easy to get, by current ratings that puts you in top 100 players.

The difference comes into play when someone farms for DSR and when it comes naturally by flying to your best, especially when you pass 1450 mark, in T3 you get more people focusing you and some, wanna be heroes, that try to lock/hunt you down through the whole match, most of the time it is counter productive to them, hehe.
most of the time it is counter productive to them, hehe.
I can attest to that. I wasn’t trying to specifically hunt him down, but he would show up with his Bubble Gun every time I would start nailing TacTicalWizard with my Assault Railguns. :smoke:

I heard stories, but never assumed it was true. Man, stupidity has reached a new low… THEY STILL GET THE POINTS IF YOU SELF-DESTRUCT BEFORE THE 10 SECOND TIMER!!

He managed to do it once, no one got the kill, he did it then another 2 times but didn’t work, lol.
Well technically if he managed to avoid all the fire for 2-3 seconds but still in a position that he can’t get out combining it with cocoon probably will abuse that selfdestruct thing. I would just report that xxxx 
My question is: Why is there a self-destruct button? Do you damage the others ships? There’s an achievement for suiciding?
EDIT: nevermind, found why, thanks Residente

Meh, didn’t though about report, I still won the game, he and his team (it was a 3v3) only went for kills, and he died 3 times in total, so I wasn’t mad at all
