don't change your etkey, there's your lvl and XP.

[eXs'.nAbish?]

All i can think of is type !resetmyxp and it will reset it all, at least it should.. Try it, and tell me your results.

I think you cannot reset that, but why do you want to reset it?

 

k/d will quickly go back to the previous value you had, because it is a sort of player rating on etpub. You get points by killing players, especially ones with a high k/d, and you lose points when you die, especially if you lose against a player with a low k/d. So your k/d is like your 'skill' level, well, not that but sort of.

 

If you reset it, you will eventually get the same k/d. A player can play 100 years and still have 1000 k/d if that is his skill. It's not like xp, you can go up or down.

ya... only way its ever going to change is if you get a new etkey but like they said you lose your level or if someone does a clean sweep of the server and then everyone starts over again

Can't be reset. And if your playing better now then you used to your k/d will rise over time anyways.

ya guys i know but:

1) i tried time ago to reset my xp.. and nothing..

2)i know also that i can go up but with my total number of deaths, i go up soooo slowly

3)i dont wanna change my etkey.. its my historical etkey...

 

there are no ways i think

A while ago Dare manullay reset someone's k/d for them. No point to it but he did.

And in the end,"K/D" means nothing...

Not true bro. I am way better now than I was when I first started playing on F|A servers. My k/d hasn't budged beyond a .01 up or down.

 

You can delete you k/d. You need to reset your etkey. If you do this, you will need to post that you reseted your etkey, and need levels on the servers you play on. Reseting your ETkey is like having a new game installed, without downloading ET again. You lose all your information. CFGs reset, options reset, xp, k/d, admin etc. etc. etc.

Mine changes significantly haha a good day will change it by like .1 or .2 in just one sitting. A bad day does the same but in the negative direction.

I've been playing on these servers for a couple years now

k/d is *not* kills/deaths.

I don't know why they called it k/d, but it's something like elo score for chess players, or player rating in vsp stats.

 

bottom line is: you can play bad for a thousand years, then if you suddenly play well your k/d will go up in no time. There is no memory for old frags count or similar things.

You 'just' need to own players with a high k/d to go up faster.

If you don't go up fast it's because you don't own such players, or because there are new 'strong' players with a low k/d, who cause a 'deflation' in the system, just like in sl/tb rating when a good player has 0 rating.

 

Owning players with a bad k/d won't make you go up, since it's the way the system works. If you frag a player with bad k/d, for the system that player is 'bad', so it's obvious that you will frag him, and you won't get much rating for doing it.

 

Anyway, this rating system is crap, since it doesn't take into account weapons, etc. as it used to be in older versions of etpub. And ofc it doesn't tell apart 1on1 from 1000vs1, etc. I would have done it better if I had been etpub coder... but nvm

woooo o.O rly?? so if a great player with 5 kill me, my "rating" (i hate this word) dont go down so much..

I (and all players i think) thought that was the ratio of kills and deaths.. indeed new players with 1.000 standard, if they frags with a killing spree, have a 3 or 4 already..coz have totally 5 kills and 0 deaths..and this could explain why theDuck now cant go up and go down so faster.. because he has too many kills and too many deaths, and if he has example 7000 kills and 5000 deaths, 1 kill isnt so much different...

let me try to explain, since I think you still don't understand exactly how it works. Even if you start to understand better

 

The game stores your killrating (k/d). Now I'm too lazy to check etpub source, but as far as I remember (I did it in the past) it should be so. This means that you can have any number of kills and deaths, but only your rating will be 'remembered'.

 

you frag a player -> your rating goes up (if you frag a player with a higher k/d rating than yours, you gain more points)

you die -> your rating goes down (if a player with very low k/d kills you, for example a bot, you lose more points)

 

i can have 10000000 kills and 100000000 death but that doesn't matter, the only thing that matters is my rating and the other player's rating. Only rating counts, how fast you got that rating, and how, doesn't matter. A terrible player who played for years could give his etkey to you, and his rating will go up.

 

 

Why then players will eventually get 'stuck' to some killrating?

Because if, let's say, a player has always 2x kills than deaths, for example 40 kills 20 deaths every map, he will gain points 40 times, and lose points 20 times, so you think he will go up. But now comes the nice part: the higher his rating, the less points he will gain when he kills, and the more he will lose when he dies, so eventually the ratio will be 1:2, and with 40 frags he will gain exactly the same amount he loses with 20 deaths. So his k/d stays the same.

 

kapito?
