Hi NyteFall, I am the one who did that Twitter post you mentioned in your video. Your video just popped up in my timeline, and I was surprised to see my Twitter post in a thumbnail :D . First of all, it is not cool to assume that people just do not know basic statistics. I think it is just like the hit reg and netcode problems: Some are affected, some are not. Just because you are not affected, does not mean that I am wrong. Twitter does not allow long posts (if you have a free account), so I had to make it short. But here, I can go more into detail. I play the game since launch day. In the beginning, I had to figure out the best control settings for me and had to get into the game in general. I did not get stomped, but it also was not a great performance. On day 2 or 3, I got the hang of it, and most of my games end with a positive K/D since then (of course, I also go negative from time to time). I play the game almost every day (it's the honeymoon phase, don't judge me :D ). I checked my K/D now and then. It went up and down in the beginning. But then suddenly, it got stuck at 0.9 only a few days after launch. Over 2 weeks later, it was still 0.9, even though most of my matches went better than that. Furthermore, the trend over the last 10 matches was always positive, around +10 % (this value actually went up and down a bit). How can I have a constantly positive trend for over 2 weeks, and the career stats still show the same value that I had after the first approx. 3 days of playing? This does not make sense. The next day after my post on Twitter and Marks response, I played another match, and my K/D went up to 1.0. I was thinking "Well, maybe I really just had a false perception". But a day later, also the K/D trend stopped working. I have a trend of exactly +6.2 % for almost a week now. Today, I played 3 matches. First one I got a negative K/D, second one it was 1.0, and third one was over 2 (I had to learn to slow down my playstyle for TDM, a mode I normally do not like to play). It is impossible that my 10 matches trend does not change at all after these. The stats are definitely buggy. I am not mad about it. I have fun, not matter what my stats say. I just want to contribute to this amazing game, and if I find a new bug, I write about it, because I know that the devs are reading it and actually care. But it is funny to hear that my post triggered some outrage on other platforms :D .
Okay for starters, that' super cool that this made it back to you lol. I was never really saying you didn't know basic math, just all the people I talked after seeing your tweet would tell me their story on why it's broken and most of them I found thought that that K/D number was based on the last 10 games, and not the trend so had to correct a lot of people. It very well could be stuck for you and some others, but other people are then using that as an excuse to say theirs is messed up when they are actually just trash lol. I think everyone had a rough go at the start getting settings to feel good for them and playing with new guns and what not, so that's understandable. But I do want to address a few things you mentioned here, and if you could tell me what platform you play on and what your gamertag is I can look into it further to try to understand better. But basically you mentioned you had a trend of 6.2% over the last 2 weeks. I'm not sure how many games you played in total over those 2 weeks. And while it's unlikely that it stayed at 6.2% exactly and wasn't stuck, it is possible. Keep in mind that it's not taking 10 game chunks meaning your trend is based on games 1-10 and then 11-20, but rather it's based on the last 10 games you played meaning 1-10 and then if you play one more it now erases that 1st game and now calculates the trend on 2-11. Hope that makes sense. As for your 3 matches today if you got a negative K/D lets say you went 15 and 20 (.75) then the next game you went 20-20 (1.0) and the next game you went 50-20 (2.5) that means you went a total of 85-60. This stat line alone is 1.4 but if you add those numbers similar to what I did in this video your overall K/D won't even budge. The only thing this may effect is your trend, but impossible to calculate without knowing your other 7 games. But I would love to investigate and make a follow up video if you want to reach out to me on Discord my name is same over there nytefalll 3 Ls at the end
I had a feeling this was going to come down to people either not realizing how the math behind ratios works, or them thinking that it is a "Last 10 games" value. I feel like the stats screen should get an overhaul. Something like a whole nother page, alongside the current one, showing all the same stat values it currently shows, but limited to the last 10 matches played. This would give people a more accurate representation of their current skill level, allowing them to see more clearly when they are improving or not.
Agreed, once you play I'd say about 100 games, unless you significantly improve you won't see it on that page. I think that was why they put the trends in there, but something like seasonal stats might help as well similar to what they have in Siege.
Ok but why does my career stat page say i have 33hrs playtime, while tracker says 52hrs? And i see theres a discrepancy between your hrs played as well. I definitely think the stat page is bugged. Also i might be misremembering math class but i think providing numbers of kills and deaths might be important to figuring out the rest of the equation.
Yeah we definitely need to see the number of kills and deaths. And I think the tracker may counting hours you have the game opened vs the game is only counting time in the match not too sure on that one haven't looked into it
@@NyteFalll yea my initial thought was also the time difference just coming from having the game open, but that wouldn't explain the discrepancies with the hrs played from each individual faction. This is the first shooter game I've dedicated a decent amount of time to since BO2 and I remember that game having a better stat page a decade ago. I've been enjoying the game but definitely feel like the stat page needs a complete overhaul
@@NyteFalll so on the in game stats they total to 31hrs but I imagine the missing 2 hours is from them rounding down the hours played for each faction. But on tracker they total to 92 hours despite it saying I have 52 hours played. I have no clue what's going on lol. Whether there is some rhyme or reason to these numbers or not they definitely need to fix something here lol
The time you played doesn't really having anything to do with it being at 1.0. Do you feel it should be higher? Do you constantly average over 1.0 every game?
@NyteFalll well to be fair I only got 168 games under my belt I'll have to check the tracker I didn't know they had xdefiant on there I usually check my apex
Well I mean when you first start it will show 0.0 but after you play even your first game it should update in game. Whats your gamertag and what platform do you play on?
I mean yeah but no. My kd was like 1.8 at launch and then dropped to a 1.6 about a week after. The percentage increase changes right under it and its funny because the percentage increase is now at like 11% which means it should be at minimum a 1.7. However almost every single game i play which i play often. I drop a 2.0 or a 3.0. Stats are broken for me, the only thing that tracks properly is the time played and the win ratio i think. I dont care about stats too much, i think they have bigger fish to fry. Its just that i think you are wrong with saying that this is always not the case. There are always exceptions. If you worded the video a bit differently then i think your feedback would be viewed differently
I really think smtgs wrong w it, I’ve been going at least 10 plus positive for the last 15 games I’ve played and my kd hasn’t changed even tho I’ve only played a total of 50ish games. Confused on how it hasn’t went up at least .1 I’ve been really positive kd for a while now
Why do you think it should be closer to 3.0? Sorry to be blunt but I see a lot of people saying it should be this, how do you know what it should be if you can't see how many deaths you have?
@@NyteFalll I’m level 110 or so and I’ve been a 2.2 since about 50, my average game I’m going 30-10 but it’s not uncommon for me to get 70+ kills carrying a 5plus kd. I should be creeping on 3.0 by now and I’m still at 2.3. Just doesn’t seem right that’s all.
After reading through the comments the better answer is that Kill Assist are not tracked towards your KD as (kills). in most games people have a higher KDA than KD. My issue with your "wrong math" logic before I saw that Kill Assist werent added is that over that 10 game span my percentage of change is (15+)%. That 15% has been that way for over 2 weeks. Its understandable that at a 1.9% uptick youll very rarely see a difference. I started my first few days on the game struggling to get a kill and now weeks later I rarely go negative 1 which in itself is higher than my displayed KD. What would solve the possible confusion is the addition of the true kill and death counter
If you just leave any game you are about to lose you can just pad ur stats. i have 4300 skill rating and 5 w/l and 2.1KD. This is why those stats are meaningless right now. I don't do it every game but the game where none of my teammates can get above 0.3 KD i will just leave bc its a waste of time....
@@NyteFalll yep doesn't give you a loss, don't lower ur avg score or skill lvl. Not sure if KD is affected, my KD is around 2.0 each game.... tracker shows around 13k kills for me
@@NyteFalll Yeah you could be right there. I also noticed on the tracker my kill/match is decently high at 58 so that might be boosted too if it seems to be counting kills and not losses. 220 matches show on my tracker as well.
Hmm I'll have to make a second account now and do some investigating on that and make a video with what I find, thank you for letting me know about that
Nope, you are wrong. I've been playing COD for years and from experience i can say that the XDefiant k/d is bugged. You play on average 1KD games, so your solution to the problem is "simple math". But when you play multiple days in a row games averaging 2.5 k/d - 3 k/d with 50,60 kills and your KD stays a 1.6, then you know its glitched. The reason for my change in performance is because i used to play on 60hz and the game was unplayable compared to now 120hz. We're not yet at that point where people have that many kills, where the k/d is not moving due to the amount. Any experienced player can see the k/d ratio is glitched.
I literally said I can only go based on what I can see with my own eyes and asked for someone willing to work with me to show me their stats. And we are definitely at that point lol most players who play a couple hours a day have well over 10k kills already
@@NyteFalll I guess we'll see if the XD team say something about it. But when there's multiple people saying the same thing, there has to be something. I've never seen people complaining in COD about the KD. Good videos though, man. Keep it up, you deserve a lot more subscribers and views.
@gamer34man I appreciate it. And I did do my own test and put out a newer video. I don't think it's broken in the way people are saying but there's definitely something not being calculated correctly if you have some time to check that one out let me know what you think
Any game that's ever had K/D visible automatically means 98% of people aren't playing OBJ in my opinion they need to take out every single OBJ mode and just leave TDM in the game heck even hotshot on here people never pick up coins and when you're the hotshot your teammates all the sudden want to steal all the coins so you team still loses
Lol this is the most true statement. But adding TDM has helped I feel in the other game modes. Seems like less people just running and gunning for kills
