Playlist Scoring


Sinister

Recommended Posts

Can someone please explain to me how in the hell the scoring is calculated for Playlists?

 

How in the world does one only get 3 points for finishing 7th in a 14 player race while 13th gets 9? Yet when I get 13, I usually get 1. 

 

Finish in 8th place on the FIRST race of the list, yet start out 12th on the Leaderboard? How the hell is that fair to anyone?

 

Sorry if the explanation is simple, I'm just curious about R* and their silly practices is all.

If you are ever in a PL with me, you will hear me talk about it constantly. Its races only. Two days ago, I got 4th in a race, first job, and was 9th in PL leader board. As stated by DC though, this is an ongoing issue. They had it fixed at one point (or so im told) so it must have been broken again with the latest patches. I don't know for sure that it was fixed, but someone had said it was at one point, and then was complaining that it broke after the ill-gotten gains 2 patch.

I wish the points system didn't exist to be honest.

 

Especially where "winning" matters in H2H. It trivializes entire game modes for the sake of individual performance when including races. It's a H2H IE crew vs crew, not a league MVP bracket.

One think they would and could come up with something more of a team effort based score system for a H2H.

 

And the points for races are too dominant in a playlist, at least rank the tdm players and give the same points as a race (in a regular PL).

It's broken really. I once gone through 4 jobs in a row only to get 0 before it started counting points for me.

Just worry about your gameplay and you should be fine.

A quadratic function can be written in vertex form:

f(x) = a( x-h )^2 + k          *^2 means squared*

The vertex form is helpful because it tells you the location of the vertex (h,k); (x,y)

It is just a game I don't worry bout any of it. Just curious was all.

You don't really need to worry about it. There are a bunch of other glitches that haven't been fix so... that's gta for you.

It's LN, he's a hacker. He finishes way down the field sometimes and still gets 9 points a race!

 

Someone should report him........ 

I've seen it happen! :P

It does the same crap in DM,LTS, etc. I had 6 or 7 kills yet when over, it showed only 2.

As everyone has said, the points system has been broken for a long time, although I haven't noticed a problem with it for some time now.

Sometimes they mix up the points and money in a race (always fun to win and get paid nothing), but I haven't seen that for ages now. What you're describing, especially if it's the first race, is that everyone is placed in the order they joined. After the race, the points are awarded and everyone shifts around. Maybe you saw it before the names adjusted or got mixed up with who placed what?

I haven't seen any issues with the deathmatch scores, not that I have counted to actually compare though. What is very common, and hard to pick up when you haven't played much is when other people steal the kill. You could be there and put your whole clip into them and they have one bar of health only for your team mate to come along and put the final shot in and claim the kill. So you probably though you got the kill when in reality you didn't put the final bullet in them.

In most other shooter games, they award people assisted kills. I wish GTA would do that because even though it said you only got 6 kills, you could of had 6 assist which means you've played a lot better than the game has said and it allows you to work as more of a team instead of competing with each other for kills.

Also, stay away from LN. He will steal all your kills :P

Last night it was after the screen changed. I finished 9th (maybe higher) but was 13th on the list after that race. No big deal now but I will admit to being pissed when I first saw it.

I'm well aware of stolen kills.......I hate them.......:)

I think on the kills, that if you manage to suicide then it deducts that from your kills. I do this kind of thing a lot and have often noticed that I will have like 1 or 2 kills only... when I know I shot 4 people :-P If you subtract my idiot self inflicted deaths it works out.

I just wish it would show the job stat screen longer. I'd really like to see how many kills/deaths/packages I had but more times than not I can barely find my name on the list before it switches to the next screen.
