Am I the only one confused by the scoreboard?
First I was really confused by the icons and what they really meant. How does a skull mean kills and an X means deaths? It's weird. And honestly, what do those icons add to the game? What's wrong wit...

@1BSKS1 You've literally never needed kills to top the scoreboard, playing objective and supporting your squad/team has often been a great way to top scoreboards.
The core problem is this game doesn't have a functional scoring system, which is why they had to fake it with the scores on the scoreboard (you can see the arbitrary modifiers they gave to each stat - kills are worth 2 points, assists worth 1 points, revives worth 2 points etc.). There's an XP system, but no proper score system which is why there are no longer rewards for things like suppressing enemies or proper assist-XP for vehicles.
For taking 3 months to build, and for having community feedback on the first version shown in January, this is still an incredibly poor scoreboard (from a UI perspective) and it just highlights other problems/missing features in the game like the scoring system.
If this is the best the team can do in 3 months, the game has a very dark, depressing future. If a future at all.

i can easily understand it but it is way too "busy". there is too much going on with this scoreboard. whole left panel needs to go away and there are too many columns in the scoreboard. all we need is to be ranked by total exp earned and have kills/deaths (and maybe revives)
With the danger of getting suspended here again (seems the MODs are their own judges what is considered "rude" and what i consider reality) but the scoreboard is the perfect proof that Dice have no clue what they doing. Yes, its a scoreboard but the way its designed its clear that 2042 will never be the game some still hope for it to be. This isnt complicated. It isn't complex design. Its been in hundreds of games before and clearly, if you played past BF game, you know what a simple and clear SB Should look like.
Is this really so hard? Plain and simple.
