Suggestions For Medals And The Program - This Is What You Want Recursion Team

Hey There Fist!

First and Above All I Have To Say Thank You For Making The Best Thing To Happen To Planetside 2 - It Was Truly What The Game Was Lacking!!!!

Anyways I Came From XBOX 360 ONLY Playing Halo Reach and Not To Toot My Own Horn But I Was Pretty Good and Although Destroying Noobs Is Always Satisfying I Like A Little Recognition When I Do Something Sweet So Naturally I LOVE MEDALS AND THE ANNOUNCER VOICES - I Had To Quest To Get All The Medals and I Did - I Was The First One On Halo Reach To Complete Their Bungie Dot Net Medal Chest and I Am Mega Proud Of It! So Imagine My Sadness When I Get My First Gaming Pc Built All Beefed Up and Ready To Game N Fire Up Planetside and Its AWESOME Only To Find Out There Is No Medals/Announcer!?? I WAS DEASTATED!! =(
Then Some One Showed Me The Greatness Which Is Your Stat Tracker and I Was Hooked!!! It Really Truly Got Me Interested In The Game All Over Again!!! Now I'm Questing To Complete Your Medal List. I Seen You Take Suggestions and When I Realised That My Mind Exploded With Ideas and Here Is A List Of Them All. I Have Suggestions For The Program Itself, Adjustments To Medals, and New Medal Ideas.


-----------
I Would Love To Have A List Of All Trackable Data So That I Have A Better Understanding Of What Info Can Be Tracked To Use In Sprees/Medals.

Program Changes

FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING ALLOW THE PLAYER TO RESUME A SESSION AND RESUME THEIR KILL STREAK PROGRESS WHERE THEY LEFT OFF! LOL AFTER THE PROGRAM or COMPUTER HAS BEEN RESTARTED OR WHATNOT

Sorry For The Caps On That But That Is Such A Mega Thing For Me - Its SOOOOOO Discouraging Being On A Kill Streak And Losing It Because Of A Restart, Crash or Whatever Happened- I Know You Can Save Sessions and Create Sessions But When You Do It Does Not Resume Your Killstreak Progress Which It Should Since The Program Can Just Check To See If You Got Kills Or Deaths Inbetween Your Last Ended Saved Session To Make Sure Your Sprees Were Earned Legitimately


Allow Player To See What Medals Were Earned During The Session On The Main Window.


Allow Player To View His Entire Recursion Stat History From Main Window


Add A Player Bios/Profile Page To The Recursion Page and/or Program Window


Allow Player To Click The Name Of The Player Who You Killed or Were Killed By In The Main Window launch The Link To View Their Recursion or Planetside Stat WebPage


Allow Option So Recursion WIll Launch When You Start Planetside (Probably Only Allow One Instance Of The Stat Tracker To Be Open At A Time So The Player Doesnt Accidently Mess Something Up On Either Of The Instances Of The Stat Tracker -


Allow Auto Pause After X Amount Of Idle Time


Allow Option To Automaticly Resume Last Session When Planetside Starts


Allow Option To Have A Reminder To Start/Resume Your Session Once Your Planetside Starts Because Often People Forget Until They Realize They Didn't Recieve A Medal For Something.. Example Of Me -> Pizza DelivERRR I FORGOT TO TURN ON MY STAT TRACKER! LoLoL


Allow Saving Of Streaming Configurations (Always Takes A Minute To Setup Its Annoying or I'm Just Not Getting It or Something)

Add Medals For 5 Kill Streaks With CLASS SPECIFIC WEAPONS - Example The URSA Cannot Be Used With Any Other Class Besides Heavy Assault - I Don't Know What Names You Should Call The Medals But I Thought That Would Be Cool - So ANY Weapon That Is Specific To That Class Only Should Be Towards Lets Just Say A HEAVY ASSAULT SPREE

(If You Want/Need To I Can Have My Brother Work On Some For You)
Add A Voice For Those Medals As Well If They Do Not Have One Already



MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL THINGS LISTED HERE
KILL STREAKS SHOULD NOT BE ENDED DUE TO BEING TEAM KILLED!!!!
I Understand That This Could Be Abused Big Time BUT You Could Fix That Problem By
Allowing Only 1 Team Mate Related Death Per Kill Streak- Example After 22 Kills You Get Team Killed - Your Streak Should Continue Where You Left Off - But If You Get Team Killed AGAIN Then Your Streak Should End As Usual.
After So Much Time On A Streak Being Team Killed Is Almost A Sure Bet - Most Of The Time Its INTENTIONAL - and I'm Sure EVERYONE Feels There Should Be Some Justice For Us Somewhere In The Game With This Problem

Well Thats It Thats My Novel LoL I Know It Was ALOT To Read but Hopefully You Read Through It Carefully. I Really Would Love To Help In Anyway Possible So Please Let Me Know If I Can Do Anything At All, I Try To Tell Everyone I Can About This To Make It More Popular So Hopefully It Gets More Well Known and Gets More Users - I Understand Not All Of My Medals Might Not Be Possible n Thats Cool But Thats Why I Would Like A List of Trackable Data- You Obviously Don't Have To Use The Names I Gave To The Medals but I Definitely Think They Are Pretty Good.

Im Anxiously Awaiting Your Response Like A Kid On Christmas Eve!!!! I Would Love To See These Changes and If It Would Help I Would Love To Donate To Your Cause If You Use My Ideas or Some of Them... Thanks Again YOUR AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

Wow... so I've read through a lot of it but this deserves more time going over.

But I will answer part of this now.

-Sessions-
Our next update is going to have a big focus on convenience. We're working on ways to auto start the program with PlanetSide as well as allow automatic session starting when your character(s) go on-line.
Thank you for bringing up resuming a session. This still needs to be thought out with our automatic features. I don't know if we're going to allow killstreaks to resume, but we may do so with a grace period based on timestamps. And so you know, right now if PS2 crashes as long as you don't end your session it will automatically pick up again when you log back into PS2 and preserve your killstreaks.

The session pauses now when your character goes offline. You can see the session timer stop when this happens. We want to keep time based tracking similar to PS2 as much as we can as we will eventually add in more time based stats and we would like these to match PlanetSide 2 as accurately as possible.

-Streaming-
When you right click- edit your stream configuration it saves as soon as you press edit again.

-Existing Achievement Changes-
I still need to read over this more carefully, but I saw your recommended changes to Rocket Primary and proximity mine achievements. I'm going to say that I like these proposed changes, especially changing the 'Watch your Step' from a negative achievement to a positive one. I need to discuss this with the team before we make any changes to it though.

-Achievement Client Display-
Right now a player's achievement information is displayed on our website, but getting this in the client is something we want too. We still have to establish the communication and add the UI in for this, so this probably won't be for some time.

-Information Available To Us-
So I'll tell you what we have available to us now which can be used to filter out some of your recommendations that aren't possible. I still have to read over a lot of them (You recommended a lot!)

Basically we get player and vehicle deaths in real-time. They include you, the opponent, the weapon used, and the vehicle used (and vehicle destroyed), and timestamp in seconds.
We also get the status of a user when he logs on or offline or when they level up.
Certain facility information is available (such as the faction it switched over to) but we do not currently track this (we will eventually). I do not know if it includes outfit information, I do not believe it does.

-Kill Streak Breaking-
Combo breaker is something we have had recorded for awhile now. We don't have it implemented because getting the current killstreak of your opponent will almost double our API calls and we want to try to avoid that. We aren't giving up on this though.

Losing a killstreak to a teammate can be beyond frustrating, but we believe a death is a death. You'll notice our death stats don't subtract revives either. That is something that we are unlikely to change.


I really am glad you're enjoying the program and appreciate your feedback! We've spent a ton of time developing it and are currently working on some pretty big changes to it. I will be looking at your recommendations again when we get back to adding achievements. Right now I have to get back to coding some other new features in!
