I'm going to do an overhaul of player profile pages in the very near future and I want to know what sort of statistics you want to see on profile pages. I can get almost any statistic from the API, so suggest whatever and I'll tell you if it can be done. Another thing I'll be implementing is a daily awards feature. Basically every day there will be several leaderboards dynamically updating on the site, and at the end of the day (23:59 UTC), an "award" will be issued to the #1 player on each leaderboard. These awards will show up on your profile so you can show off to others. So I also want to know what sort of leaderboards you guys would like? Kills? Captured Facilities? Defended Facilities? Let me know! --Jack Edit: As a precursor to these changes I have edited the roster so that you can click on people's names to go to their forum profile (if they have an activated forum account). http://ps2trident.com/index.php/roster
I wish there was a statistic for following orders. I think the usual K/D, SPH and maybe suicides just for fun (jokes) would be great.
That, except K/D, which I think shouldn't be included. The thing is, in a game like this, K/D really has no place. People who play Heavy all the time or are lib gunners all the time automatically get a good K/D, compared to people like me, who most of the time stand and repair/revive people. It kinda annoys me when people only care about K/D and not teamplay at all. Sorry for the slight off-topic, felt I had to tell you guys my thoughts. TheKoolaidline which you all should be familiar with also has a video about this btw.
I feel support roles should be highlighted. Is it possible to show kills with a selected favourite weapon?
You should also hand out awards to people with the most suicides or tk's (but don't know that last one a "award").
Tk is not a good idea, I always fly with my brother whenn we man the liberator and from time to time we crash and it counts as I killed him. This makes my Tk rate a little bit high (my brother is the person I killed most, according to my statistics XD). Most played Class and most used Vehicle would be my suggestion, so you know what kind of player you chatting with.
Just to clarify, this is for profile pages (when you click on someone's name), not for below their username on topic pages
if so I'd like it to show all the information just like Planetside-universe.com since I find it pretty... informative is that possible?

Can you find info on killing specific vehicles with the API. Because number of sunderer kills would be pretty sweet. Also that is an important thing to do especially during a defense, where killing the sundy or not can mean the difference between victory or loss.
