Battlefield Play4Free

Hi Battlefield soldiers
I'm Hannes Heijkenskjöld, a developer in the web team of Battlefield Play4Free.

I thought you would like to know about one of the features we currently are looking at implementing here at Easy, namely soldier profile pages. It is not in full production yet, but we have created a prototype and populated it with some stats. I can share this screenshot of the prototype.



This is a prototype and doesn't represent the final page, so take it for what it is: a teaser of upcoming functionality. I would love to hear your suggestions, however, on what you would like to include in the page. No promises on what gets implemented though

There is, however some bad news connected to this. During the prototyping of this page we have discovered that some interesting stats are missing, and some are plain wrong. We don't have the full data of your character for everything we want to display. This is a huge let down, I know. For instance, I know that I have played a lot more than 18 hours with this soldier, and we are not tracking the number of headshots you make. We will be looking into how to best deal with this fact. Probably we will do a reset of the faulty stats when we release the profile, but nothing has been decided yet. Note: there will be NO reset of the XP or level, so don't worry about that.

There is no word on when this will be released, I can't even say soon™ yet. But this, and some other related functionality (to be teased at a future date ), is on our road map.

I will try to get back here and update the thread as the production progresses.

Let us know what you think of the soldier profile, and if you are interested in similar updates of upcoming features!

Looks interesting... hope you work out all the bugs! can't wait for the release!

BTW 0.67 of K/D ?
sorry but this is bad , train more !

I said some of the stats were wrong

Sorry to disappoint you, but this will not be in the next update, it will be a bit further down the road.

ha ok , BTW can you send me a mp with my personal stats if you can , please ( even if they are wrong , i will have a little idea of my true stats ) ? because i want to see how much kill and death i have .

Awesome. this looks great

So the statwh0ring begins.

Looks good, especially if that's just an early version.

Personally, I'd probably be in favour of an 'old stats' wipe before it goes live, or at least give users that option. I'm sure there are a lot of us who have been slacking off, content in the knowledge that none of our stats were being recorded for future shaming

Other things that I would also like to see on the page, though no idea how many are possible:
Max range achieved (both as a weapon stat and as an overall stat)
Saviour kills
Offensive/Defensive kills
Flag caps
Points healed on self/others
Show Critical Assists as a div of Kill Assists
Spot Assists
General class ability stats (mines, claymores, revives, C4 etc.)

There's probably more, but it could easily just end up being a list of every trackable statistic in the game, so I'll stop now

Finally something for the players and not an update to line your pockets... My god... It took guys long enough. In any case, as much anger as I have towards EAsy gotta say thanx for this one.

EDIT:

+3... These would be nice and comprehensive about the type of player you are but yeah, this is a good start. Maybe they'll implement these in future updates.

looks great JJ

Finally

To me looks great and that is enough for now...best option is to first create this and implement so you can monitor does it work and after just keep building current one and yeah btw off topic but clan tag system is what this game needs....

have you followed our stats since OB or it will start from beggining?

cool

These are good suggestions, and some are being tracked, some are supposed to but are bugged, and some are missing. I would like for us to start tracking it all at once, so there is a common baseline for when stats start to be tracked. And then we can decide how this information should be presented to you players.

How much funds would it cost us per soldier slot?

For headshots.. if you could make possible to count them it would be cool to have headshot sound like in ETPro mod:

Here guy deals tripple headshot with a pistol with characteristic etpro mod headshot sound. I played that game a lot and that sound is a distinguish prize itself and you are feeling proud of your skill once you hear it. Unique feeling.

God no... what if it tracks the amount of times 'You've just had an accident' flashed up on your screen instead of tracking actual accidents.

Tracking suicides would probably be interesting though.

I think a partial stat wipe is a mistake, it will potentially skew results/methods for calculating medians and such. A full stats wipe (to me at least) makes more sense and gives everyone an unbiased and error free platform to build upon.
