Simple question, what's your opinion on us reseting the stats monthly to keep them relevant?
Remember that if such a reset would occur, we couldn't keep ranks, points or any awards, it's all or nothing.

So feel free to discuss.

you could do resets like that, but keep a log of the top 10 players each month, couldn't you?
it could be a contest sort of thing, and i think that giving awards would be more relevant if that were to happen.

I think that it is fine the way it is, because it gets pretty tough to get more points once you reach a certain amount, but resets would encourage experimentation (such as practicing new classes), even for point whores.

I vote for getting rid of stats completely.  If that isn't an option, a monthly reset would be good.

Shadow suggests every three months. Long enough to be worth something, short enough to be fair.

I agree now

3 months seems viable. Quarterly awards would be cool too, for dominations and stuff. Maybe prizes!

TBH, I think it most definitely should be a monthly occurance.  I think people are sometimes too obsessive about stats and if they were frequently reset, it would bring down their importance.

I don't know.  I'm just up for at least a regular reset.

I would also like to get rid of them altogether. Stats effect the way a lot of people play, encourage defense over offense (less deaths = more points), and can make the game not about winning the match; but making a number go up. If they were removed people would play for fun or to improve their skill, rather than their stats. Personally, I'd rather have that than know how many kills on Dustbowl were made by rockets.

Granted, resetting every month would help stop stat whoring, but it would not completely stop it.

I like everything about the tracking except the actual points and rankings. I like seeing what my kpd is, and what my kpd vs specific people are. I like seeing my different weapon kills and my action statistics (that I've destroyed almost as many sentries as I've built). It's like leveling up in WoW, except it's my personal skill instead of just numbers on a character.

I'd really like if we could keep the global statistics, and just reset the points. Or differentiate on a seasonal basis, so you could see past points. I could care less about the actual rankings and points, since they're bullshit anyway.

I think it would increase it actually, so people could claim top honors for the month...

I would support removing stats over monthly resets.
