Carry over stats to different colors

[SW]

In BF, some stats apparently carried over when you switched colors.

Which ones? Did time carry over?

Should stats carry over in TP as well? Any pros and cons?

[Warrior]

Not sure which stats were transferred in bf. Not reall any harm besides color flippin but scrubs will be scrubs regardless. Go for it.

[TekiaTequila]

Time would transfer over but the points would not thats the only thing i remember.

[HurleY]

ftr there was NO stats transferred from color to color in BF. Time absolutely did NOT transfer over from switching colors, dafuq you smoking Tekia? Also, top lists for each color would lose all value if stats were transferable. This would create a new, interesting kind of activity.

[shermanfrombf]

nothing transferred between colors except the tank's awards. I had general on Sherman on all 4 colors with 750 hours on blue, and 5-10 hours on the other 3 colors respectively. switching colors would only remove the main color from the game until it was restored by re selecting your main color.

I swear to god that time transferred. Nothing else did.

In TP I think it would be nice for time/kills/deaths to transfer over. Would allow players to switch colors if mobs were taking place (ie the blue hoarde of the last month) and still accrue some sort of long term stats for their tank. It isn't a change that would negatively affect anyone (as you are not required to switch colors at any time).

[shermanfrombf]

wrong. 1 color would override the other 3 and hide their existence from view(see fluke) each color was essentially a brand new tank, just with universal awards.

this is the pussiest thing I've ever heard from you. ive fought the blues in tankpit, they are disorganized on snakesque levels. a small 4-5 man counter could probably send them retards in a frenzy and all quit out. problem solved, blues no longer dominant control. stop being a faggot and just call for backup. are aow and tags no longer balls deep in the map 12/7 to disperse blues?

[crusher.VICIOUS]

Almost positive everything transferred except points in bf. I would say it makes sense if you're playing 100 hrs on the same tank why not get a shiner. Even if hours were split on different colors. It's the same tank.

[HurleY]

I swear to god that time transferred. Nothing else did.

Maybe in the days of the games infancy. There is no way it was passible in 2003 and beyond tho FACT

[savin]

Time counted for all 4 colors combined.. Nothing else did. So when Trouble got top 25 red in rocks and swamps.. she also got top 25 on blue as well... back in the day all of the time it took her to get up that high on red and blue counted.

Yes I think time should count for different colors like it always did back in Battlefield, no reason it shouldn't.



edit: everyone saying time didn't transfer is a huge battlefield noob.. lmfao chris....... you guys have horrible memories

[987]

no, please. maybe give people the option of carrying time, but nothing else

yea I kinda wtfd at that last part too. if anything I like current over all alternatives, but I can see how some people would want their time to stack, so that option makes sense.. sure as fuck shouldn't be mandatory though

your so dumb.. Trouble got rusty sword playing as red and blue, and getting both her red and blue tank on the rocks and swamps top 25. Just because your memory sucks ass doesn't mean were gonna follow what you "think" happened back in bf. Time carried over, cry about it lol.

[shermanfrombf]

it did not, I know how my damned tank worked and my statistics. stop using other players as an example on somebody who actually lived what he's talking about. my other 3 colors never counted toward my blue.

let trouble come here and tell me themselves.

It was up till about 2001 or so I did not play much past that point

[savin]

My tank BLACK HAWK CONFLICT had 50 hours on it from raiding when I handed it over to Ted Bundy to shiner.. 35 of those hours were played as orange. 15 were played as purple to raid out the bandwagoner orange tags.... We raided as our secondary color a lot.



By the way were talking 2005, so your 2003 and before theory can hit the road jack.

[shermanfrombf]

well you shoulda said a time frame sooner! FUCK
I know when I played it didn't work like that.

[cujo]

lmao stats def carried over, everything but points. might as well be the same way now?

[HurleY]

I guess it makes sense that time would accumulate being in the same map. My memory is playing tricks on me, I feel like I can remember hitting orange accidently on hurley then hitting "c" and seeing a brand new time clock, while having a +.

I'm saying blues can switch to other colors so they can actually get some playtime when blues outnumber everyone 6-7 to 1 sherman. Think about what you're saying man why would I care if they are mobbing? Has nothing to do with them actually being good.

And its good to see the rest of you remembering time adding up on all colors.

[shermanfrombf]

just take raids yo, shit's fun

[iwasperdition]

I am saying absolutely nothing about the minority color taking or not taking raids. I am saying that BLUES could switch to other COLORS THEN BLUE and still be able to play when BLUE is the dominant color. The minority color still plays their normal tank because BLUE has to many people so the BLUE guy switches to a minority COLOR instead of BLUE. If the three things listed carried over they might play more when THEIR OWN color has to many to enter.

I played cujo on orange in desert for awhile and remember always having the same time, I also played rocks as two colors and never knew how many hours for which color. I remember when I first played TP it was so strange to have new stats per color, but in reality it's shitty to not be able to display two colors so might as well make new tanks.

[987]

itt: people with bad memories of 5 years ago aggressively promote their guesses (self-included) on how shit was


god damnit

[-Kirby-]

When I was around: time (100% sure), kills and deaths (a little less sure), all transferred. Points and rank (obv) did not.

[Krusty]

Skipped all posts so not sure if it has been answered.

Time DID carry over between colours. - In my newb days (still in my newb days) I was Red Dragon, I also made Orange, Purple, Blue Dragon because I didn't want the time to carry over.

Points did not, obviously.

I am not 100% on kills/deaths but I believe they did not carry over. I used to switch to another colour and let a friend kill me 100 times for heroic then switch back to red to give him his while racking 100 kills.

Quick answer: I believe only play time carried over.

[Envy]

Time most certainly DID CARRY OVER. Do you guys not remember people sitting their tanks in on recruits on diff colors to lame swords?
