I want to work on MGEMod again at some point in the near* future. One thing I have been heavily considering is removing the advanced stats (this shit: http://i.imgur.com/Jykic.png) entirely. It's needlessly complex, has a significant performance impact, and really doesn't do anything to make people better. I want to streamline MGEMod and focus exclusively on making the gameplay as good as it can be, and making relevant data viewable in-game instead of on some webpage that nobody ever sets up or looks at.

Thoughts? Death threats? Marriage proposals?

don't care because i'm going to play anyone regardless of what number is over their head when i feel like playing in mge

edit: i do think knowing your accuracy is pretty neat per weapon though i wouldn't miss it if it was removed lol~

Just to be clear, the ELO rankings would still exist (optionally, of course). In-game accuracy would still exist, and potentially be made visible to people as they play (optionally, of course). This would just remove the functionality to have advanced stats logged to a remote database and be viewable via the WebUI that Skyride made (srym8 <3).

i think it'd be fine to remove this, but something that would be neat would be something like !accuracy, to display your accuracy like what specs see when they watch you

Yes remove the stats and add accuracy to the HUD in some way. Those two changes alone would make me play it more for sure.

Is there any way to add multiple instances of popular middle points? Like we could have two sets of Badlands Middles or something... Sucks waiting around when a 24 player MGE server starts to get full.

Personally I love to geek out on stats so I always thought the backend stats were the best part and it does contribute to people wanting to play on the MGE it server that actually uses it. I understand the need to optimize but I haven't seen a performance difference between servers that use it and those that don't, so is it just that it is running all the time whether it's being used or not? If so maybe that can be optimized to not run if it's not being used.

Where did you even go to get those stats? Searching for their website, this is the best I can find: http://www.vanillatf2.org/2011/12/my-gaming-edge-closing-its-doors/#more-22855

There is no centralized location for the advanced stats. It is something each server operator has to set up themselves on their own website.

I've always wanted to see the ability to "lock" arenas. Nothing is more annoying in MGE than playing with a friend and having some random spacebar mashing or direct hit using shitlord join the arena.

There would have to be some sort of way to break the lock, of course, in case of abuse. Or maybe make it so it only locks for a set amount of rounds, so you can at least play a few rounds with your friend before the aforementioned shitlord butts in.

I don't know anything about modding stuff, so I'm not sure if this would be possible, but I think it would be cool.

Wish there was a better way to kick AFK assholes too.

One afk retard and that arena becomes essentially useless for quite a while...at least on the Reddit MGE server --- dunno if idle auto-kick ever kicks in there.
