Re: The old scoreboard

@trip1ex I did. The problem your having is, that you making noise for no reason other that you disagree. I quote you "Until we see the final product, we don't KNOW what exactly we are getting so why whinge about it now?"

Again, EVERY BF beta before 2042 had a proper scoring board. Is that so hard to get? Also, most of the other betas, the final game was close to be identical. And since we have these boards here, yeah, we are voicing concern because most here would agree, it would be nice to see how i performed in a game and not JUST the squad. And what are you yapping about BF1? It has the exact same scoreboard as BF V. I just played it. Its clear and simple. Hit tab done.

And "So the scoreboard is a pretty limited measurement system for a large team objective based game.They can show that without a scoreboard."

Say what? lol. dude, I think you are very confused.

    I said that, not @trip1ex and he is correct, a basic scoreboard alone does not give an indication beyond kills, deaths and total points.

    BF1's end of round screens went much deeper.

    A Beta is more about a developer testing the game externally than players seeing a finished product. Of course they will listen to feedback along the way and change other things (BF4's RPGs could lock on in that Beta for example and who can forget BF3's Medic).

    Fact is, Betas should only be taken as an indication of the finished product and not a true representation, things can and will change.

  • @Trokey66Im just seeing this now.

    What part about wanting to see how I performed WHEN COMPARED TO THE REST OF THE PEOPLE who play on my side AND the other side, do you not get?

    Are you new to video games? The end of round screen in 4, 1, V always gives you info on your squad but this time they bound tab to the squad info and hid away the scoreboard with zero info on it. Why is this something you dont seem to understand? This has been standard in games since Pong. Since the beta of BF 4, 1 and V HAD normal scoreboards, its obviously a concern. Also, none of Dice community managers answered when people ask them. Its not like a secret. Them not telling, basically means its not in there.

    @Buzzfunk Wanting and needing are two different things. We know there will be some form of end of round screens for that and there will be some form of incase scoreboard is very likely although it's actual form is not known yet.

    The hyperbole from some people because of the potential lack of the 'old scoreboard' and threatening to not get the game because of it is just rediculous.

    They are just throwing their teddies out the cot.

    Last time I played pong, the only scoreboard was at the top of the screen. Space Invaders and Asterouds again only had your score at the top although they did have a leader board that reset if some idiot turned the machine off.

    So no, an in game score board has NOT been standard since pong and would suggest that in the grand scheme of things, is a relatively new addition to video games.

    @VOLBANKER_PC Yeah than most would be happy. And the trolls, who don't want a scorebord could simply just stop to open and watch it. 
    But many of us rly NEED a scoreboard for their personal fun!
    And I don't care what some troll's think of it, how I should call it instead!

    @DragonAlex1 Why, if some one disagrees with your demands, are they trolling?

    I've asked this numerous times but never got a satisfactory answer.
  • @Trokey66 It's just because I meant especially YOU with this Phrase and not people overall, who do not agree. You are trolling here since the beginning and I STILL HAVE NOT A DAMN BLOCKING FUNCTION TO SILENCE YOU!!!

    Well, there is ABSOLUTELY zero reason to not have a traditional in-game scoreboard. Not going to /wrist over anything till I see what we get on the 12th. What we had in beta at best was a seriously lazy implementation. Let's just relax and then see what we get, I will basically be paying for my EA Pro Sub for one month and give it one month of solid gameplay. If it's not what I want I will just unsub. No harm no foul. Just DICE failing to deliver.

    @Threedog1421I think we'd all agree there is no technical reason for not having a scoreboard (if we are not having one), but there will be a reason if not, otherwise they would include it?

    I can think of two:

    128 player means a list with 64 lines, all but the top 20 or so will need to scroll to see their stats, and I don't know about anyone else but I have always had trouble scrolling down the list on the fly within  BF games if I'm not in the visible part.

    More importantly, AI soldiers will need to appear. Can you imagine the stick EA are going to get week after week if AI perform better than human players or underperform and let squads down?

    Also, you confuse me with the EA Pro thing. That's not how it works is it? I have EA pro, I still had to buy the game. You can't just sign up to EA pro subscriptions and download the game can you? If I've got that wrong let me know and I'll ask for my money back.

    To be fair, we've had a whole string of posters jumping in on here, making demands about what or should not be included, what's fair and what isn't fair. Its all a bit wearing really. There have been a lot of changes discussed and argued about. Yes, EA do read the threads and do respond to them, but maybe not listen so much to someone whose only contribution to the community is on one topic and then getting annoyed when they find out other posters don't agree.

    Many here have changes that they would rather not see, but most are willing to give it a go because they are still excited and want the game to be a success.

    I love the old scoreboard. It would be a big mis for me if it's not there anymore.. I think I pop up the score board 50 times in a match. Just to see how I'm performing. Always try to come to the top. It also stimulates to help teammates and see you going up in points. I think it would be at least a good option to give the player the choice to activate it in options.
