Ok what I am proposing is a "kill" tracker. It tracks PC/NPC kills in space.


It can be displayed somehow here are a few suggestions on display.


An under title or tag like a guild tag red for PC, orange for NPC kills.

An addition to your Bio.

Notches on your ship again Red/Orange.

Listed as an ongoing badge that updates.


All are optional and don't need to be displayed at all.


What does this get you, personal satisfaction and bragging rights if you care about that.


PvPers can see it as a sign of skill

PvEers can track their progress

In Betweeners can judge thier performance in both

Those who dont care dont need to use it.


The pilot boxes are for advancement and toys the counter is to judge your skill.


Now the feesability maybe an issue but that aside it could be fun.

Yeah Juss to you it should all be PvP, only PvP. You should have to fly the freebie ship if you dont PvP as all ships are PvP loot, PvP rocks it is the only way, no one should be allowed to kill NPCs, they should be removed and it all be force PvP in every zone.


However most of us would like a practical compromise. Those who dont care about PvE kills dont have to worry about how many you got, and those who dont worry about PvP kills dont worry either it just shows the kill count for those who care to see no matter what about it they care about.


I wouldn't care about your PvP kill count but does that make it any less special to you who would? Nope. Your a Troll you offer nothing constructive and I suspect you were likely a zone camper since your only thought is EVERYONE is required to PvP. You cheat for cheap PvP thrills anyone who likes this game would love to see how many kill they have.

Not true Slarus.. I just don't think PvE kills will have any relevance. I mean who really cares about how many bots you managed to blow?Implementing thatwould be a waste ofdev time IMHO. I think the only reason you want that is because you don't want PvP players to have anything that PvE players don't. That's just stupid and immature.


Read my post on PvP/PvE in GCW. That's how I think things should be. I don't really care about the titles, or rewards. I just think PvP needs to have some real purpose in this game because currently the GCW is gay and pointless.

My opinion... if anyone cares... is that there never will be or never can be any type of "fun" PvP in this game. Theres just to many factors that prohibit it. Time, decay, cost, lag, lag, lag... and well Lag. My idea of fun PvP is UT2004, if that type of gameplay were available here in the GCW, whoa boy would it be a great time.

The only time PvP was remotely fun was in the month following release. The Bestine - Anchorhead raids were a lot of fun. Now, the cost just outweighs the entertainment value.

So fine, if you want a PvP kills counter, more power to you. Just don't be surpised if people think you're idiot for thinking it means anything.

Here is fundamentally where we differ. I dont care about how many players you killed, but I can understand giving a counter for it because I also realize it is important to some. I care about NPC kills and feel a way to display enemies killed is a good thing I see NPC and PCs as enemies it's just some have a person at the other end and some do not.


I can compromise and give something to both, you cannot. I think PvP and PvE should have a purpose in the GCW, and I remeber a posting by a Dev that the next expansion was expanding the role of the GCW making it more interactive, I wish I could link it I only read it once. I'm not sure your idea is practical but I agree that there should be more.
