Guild Wars 2

I read this on reddit !

" PVP scoring doesn’t take into account the player that tanked 2v1 on a point for half the game without actually killing anybody, or if you fight the best fight of your entire GW2 career and knock somebody down to 1% health but they manage to get away at the last second you gain nothing on the scoreboard.
It only rewards people who are standing on a point when it changes state (capped/decapped) or people who tag an enemy right before he dies. I can AFK at spawn for 5 minutes then run into a fight, hit enemies a few times with auto attack, and gain full credit for all the kills plus the point cap………………."

My point is : Remove the current scoring system instead create a new scoring system based on :
+ Damage Dealt
+ Condition Damage Dealt
+ Healing Done
+ Kill , Assist Kill , Ressing …
+ Number of Point Taken
+ Damage Taken
+ Condition Damage Taken
+ Win or Lose
+ ………………………………..

The thing is the scoring system does not have much implications. And you do have already a scoreboard showing all the things you mention (damage, condi, etc…). Now I agree that the scoring could be improved so that people stop saying “you have a low score you must have done nothing the whole game”, or “I am first, I must be great at this game”, but other than that, it is indeed fairly unimportant.

They should just remove it.
Because it makes players double capping , and not leaving fights when the guy is down already, because every 1 wants to stay for the stomp to get points , and some even +1 a 2vs1 already .
and when u say something we get replys like;
I have the most points
Or u have almost no points
Also just remove chief and svanir, because some players trow the game while wasting time at them, cause they cant see when is the best time to go kill them

Not true, the scoreboard showing damage, healing, etc only shows to yourself. What OP says is to show those things to everyone, so people can actually see who carried hard during the match. This is important because not only you gain respect from other players, it also creates a goal for new players to aim for. At the same time, the potential hidden good players can be easily found by the pro teams.

What the scoreboard should show:

During the match:
Kills/Death/Assist/Ressing
When match finished:
Kills/Death/Assist/Ressing
Total Damage/Total Healing/Heals to Allies/Total Damage Taken/etc
(Selection from Players)

The only real need on this subject imho is a death counter. People who die 20 times in a match has to see it. I am tired to see people who run and die like a bot in fighting. People have to understand that if you go on a point and die 5 , 6 time in a row in 5 minutes, there is something you have to think about . If u are pure dps , don’t kill anyone and die in seconds there are 2 case : you are using a wrong build or you are playing in the wrong role for your build

I think it would be nice to see every ones stats at the end. The point system can be misleading about actual match performance. I’ve won matches where my teams highest scoring player had less points than the losing team’s lowest scoring player.

I love those matches XD

The only thing missing from the scoreboard imo is damage/allied damage mitigation or damage you would have taken while blocking, i-frame, evading or under another effect like protection boon, etc. The forums would never be the same again.

Edit

Seriously… Who cares about the score anyway? There are much more bigger issues in PVP than scoreboard lol
