I legit just ignore my deaths. Sure they're usually fairly high, but so is my score (not even counting the other PTFO and helpful things I do that aren't tracked like healing).
The updated scoreboard is still lightyears better than the initial non-scoreboard, but the implementation of this fake scoreboard with arbitrary weights for only a few actions is dumb and pointless. I'm still shocked that a AAA developer of a franchise for two decades is struggling this much with basic features that took months post-launch to build.
This still looks and functions like an early WIP first pass while they're still hooking the system up to track XP contributions...but it's the "final product" we're getting.
What a time to be alive!
I know right? I haven't yet figured out why they already give you XP for everything, kills, assists, caps, healing, ammo, EVERYTHING yet they use some silly system on the scoreboard. I mean 2 points for kills, 1 point for this thing and that thing. Why didn't they just put the scoreboard in with the stats that most ask for and then MAKE YOUR TOTAL SCORE THE SAME AS XP. That way you're not leaving 60% of what you do off the score chart....and On topic...Paik needs a huge nerf...or better yet, the ability removed entirely...

Because, seemingly, that functionality was lost with the engine update and this scoreboard is the best they could cobble together in 5 months.
Which sucks, but this is the DICE Quality(TM) we should expect nowadays. I'm still surprised they launched this and said, "Yep, this is fine. No further work needed."
Like...I know DICE devs play 2042 and all but like...have they played prior BF games? Why is this scoreboard so radically different than previous games? Why is it seemingly designed to incentivize folks juicing their KDA's instead of incentivizing players to engage in activities that contribute towards their overall XP, which both helps them progress through levels faster and is more likely to help the team overall.
It's another in the, "This is a game designed for the solo player and DICE has seemingly forgotten how to promote effective teamplay, even if players rarely engaged with it." problem all over again. I'm not gonna pretend players were all team players in previous BF's, we know they weren't. But the design was at least there to encourage that gameplay and rewards those that participated.
I played a short map game and of the 32 players, 21 were Paiks.
I would get spammed with Location Discovered like 10 times before I died
I got her to T1 so I know I won't be using her anytime soon from now on.
Not sure who though it was a good idea to remove her being spotted after turning on the wall hack, as it stands now she has no downside. Most if not all specialists have a downside to there abilities.
