At the end of an AB wouldn't it be nice if it showed some status of how you and everyone did? It could show how many deaths you had, number of kills, shrines capped, etc. I think this would be a great add-in because then you can look to improve or just tease your friends on how much better you did than them.

Also it could give out awards to the top players such as most valuable, killing machine, life savor, etc.

What does everyone think?

Cool idea bro , but this isn't WoW.
I like AB because of it's light-hearted nature , grab a build and invite 3 people and play , you get a reward if you win or lose and this would complicate it.

I think it would be interesting, but I doubt it will ever be implemented.

Being able to see statistics would complicate it? I don't know anyone who would think this would make things complicated. Also, WoW isn't the only game that shows statistics, and it certainly wasn't the first. I have absolutely no idea why you're comparing this to WoW.

I like the idea...but some people would probably go into the game focusing on trying to get the most kills, or deaths, and probably wouldnt focus on what their supposed to be doing.

But maybe the capping thing would urge them to cap more

Idk. I think it would be somewhat positive and negative.

While the ideas is good, it doesnt fit into AB.
What about support characters?

How much health healed, how many hexes/conditions removed, etc.

Could work. Just sound like the whole mecanic would be easily exploitable, and would favour builds that arent necessarily the best (ie. solo capping builds).

I think its a ok idea, but i rather have them spend manhours on GW2.

you can always press "O" to see how the global party status went

there are some things that statistics simply won't show. for instance, a cripshot can go an entire match without actually killing a single target, but can easily help bring about the deaths of a ton of foes. he can also not cap a single shrine, but managed to defend a few shrines. these things are very hard to keep track of, and won't get rewarded in a system like this.

interesting idea, but the rewards will be biased toward specific character roles.

This right here ^

it's interesting but there are alot of other things that need changes before this

Nope, idea not even good on paper once you think about it.

A lot of roles are indirect and can't be kept track by computer. And it's just gonna get more complicated when you try to include them.

This.
It's nice for the purpose of applying effective tactics and tune up your team, but over all it doesn't seem like the computer systems for this game won't be able to keep track of anything useful. /not signed.

Just pay close attention to your team and make a mental analysis. Works for me.

These stats would be just another thing to be used to boost e-peen and annoy people.
AB is simple and thats why it's so fun.

I agree.
