I feel that one of the recent innovations that RexXxus introduced to HWS connect is the player kill board (league table).
For some players the competition to top the table in their respective server is motivation for playing on HWS on its own. (It is just one of many ways to enjoy your unique HWS experience).
For fun I have posted the top ten standings on both EU and N.A. servers at the end of last season (7.0). I will post the latest standings each week in the current season to this thread so we can track the progress of the most feared individuals on the servers. (perhaps some spreadsheet anaylis may also be fun…)
Anyway, good luck to all who are fighting to top the leader board - and for everyone else, make a note of these names, as they may be after YOU!
One week into the new season and we already are seeing the early runners in the player kill board top 10 chart… but who will be there at the end of the season …?
OK this weeks update and you can see several movers and new entry’s into the player kill board top 10 chart… It is certainly an open competition, anyone could top the end of season standings…
EU Server
New Entries to the chart: @jedimaster Broxa and @Wiseman738 being the highest new entry this week!
Drop outs from the top ten: @Konstantin@Schleicher and @Albanjo - perhaps next week will see a return? @boz78 is the new leader, with Daddystu climbing as well. @Aerdred are you going to regain your “crown”??
Juggoire @Stunner666@anon76082228 All maintain (or drop their places…)
New Entries to the chart: @Crewmember123 with Phantomfade the highest new entry of the week!
Drop outs from the top ten: @outlawcecil and @Freemaker - perhaps next week will see a return? @Vandruis continues to lead the field but Lex is close behind and is this weeks biggest climber… @Snake@Ranzeth all move up the ladder whilst @Quasar@ravn77@neoburge and @krieger50 all drop down.
Kills should not count until you leave the starter. Lex is the terror of Cryo L1 but not a serious PvPer.
Perhaps if killing someone in the top 10 counted as 10 points…
Both really good points to raise:+1:, I expect there are many ways like you mention to improve this element of the server gameplay.
I had not been thinking much beyond putting some time into raising the awareness and visibility of this feature of HWS, so it is great to see ideas and suggestions that RexXxus can consider to refine.
In HWS 8 Starter planets are excluded for that though.
We might implement other methods to detect fool game as well. At the moment it isn’t really that bullet proof and I check on occasion if you cheat on the system.
For the edification of those who might think that I’m “cheating the system” Can you prove openly that, no, I am not killing alts or abusing the system?
It’s getting annoying to hear it in global every day from a certain few players.
I will kill people multiple times if they spawn again but I dont abuse alts or “meet and greet” with players to kill for RP…
I’m all above board. A better question would be can anything be done to stop ammo drainers? Paid 500k and 5RP for egs:noguilty today due to 2 alliance origin guys in BH. Expensive this hunting business.
