Post your kill count : death Ratio.

[Splurd]

I have 3075 kills, 8 deaths on my main char
So if I put it into a ratio

3075: 8
384 : 1

I notice alot of people boast about their kill count, but when I look at their stats I notice a glaringly high amount of deaths.

So come, lets see who has the highest (and lowest) ratio
a High ratio means you are rambo, a one animal army, and probably addicted to health potions.
a Low ratio means you are suicidal, rushing into the fray and death has no meaning to you. The grim reaper is thy friend.

Uhh 5789 kills 15 deaths? So thats like... 386:1.

Wouldn't worry about it if I were you Maxx. Can see real easy like that you haven't spent much time leeching when the game initially came out. Can't say the same for the rest of the arithmetic's being postulated here. Haha.

Plus low deaths when those heavy kill #s came from forest haven, go solo Fathom and new map where bosses can 1 hit crit you, then comeback

killcount is fun, deathcount just aggravates the OCD

Kills and deaths are meaningless. They don't say anything about a player.

Very true.

Edit: Personally I'm farming low levels simply because I don't see the point in farming high levels yet. There aren't that many great drops in the newer expansions and most of them are repetitive drops that you end up merching.
In the lower levels:
1) I don't use up potions because the mosters don't do any damage, rather, I stock them up
2) Boosts kill counts a lot faster
3) I gain plenty of gold from the monsters and from merching the low level loot they drop (up to 83k now)

The higher level only offers the benefits of gaining better loot (which you can buy when trade comes out), and you don't gain that much gold because you end up spending all your gold buying pots.

Well... can't say i agree with you. I think they will be even more meaningless once a leader-board is out. You realize people will just spend their days farming the dark forest pack with their high level characters for free kills?
And even if you choose to make a system where kills only count when killing a mob that is in a zone that matches the level of a character... it will still be completely meaningless. It would make more sense to make the leader-board a simple ranking of who has spent the most time in game time. And it wont even be a leaderboard, it will be an Archer leaderboard. No class can compete with the burst damage of an archer, and they ended up with by far the most killing blows.
An MMORPG is not a FPS.

Personally, it'd probably be a good idea if they only made a leaderboard for PvP kills (when pvp comes out). Also, sort the leaderboard by class.

Unless the kills-to-death ratio is based on PvP, as have been said it would be meaningless. Of course archers and enchantress would be on top because by nature, they don't tank

I think they are making it based just on how many kills isntead of the KD ratio.

All these stats are meaningless. It just for amusement.

However, if you compare two characers with distinctly different K ratios, we can get a glimpse of their playing style.

And on a side note, I died a few times after the patch came out. I kinda got over emboldened by my new rate of fire and rushed too much.

Whatever floats their boat really.

I mean, leader boards ARE useless. They just serve as a way to glorify grinding. And so I see nothing wrong with it.
If a person wants to spend his time and effort just to be the top of a list for a small phone game, then so be it. And I know people *will* grind. We always have such people.
Heck, if there was a leader board for most number of deaths, I assure you there will be people ginding on their death counts.

[Azrael]

Ya know I'm not against a leaderboards per say, and even I sometimes forget that this game is very new, has not been beta tested most likely, and is really annamazing venture. I rather other improvements made... But many additions are being added every week. Power to the devolopers, let's just keep up the feedback and make it psotive. I need to make sure I do that as well. Sometimes whenubrealy love a new game, it can frustrate ya... But you still love it.

[Legit]

Yesh.

[nathanyc]

lol Loso is at 20k kills
