I do like to pull my weight in a match - that includes contributing my share of the killing, doing the objectives quickly, staying on my feet and keeping my team alive. I can get annoyed with myself if I feel I played poorly, that is probably the same for most players.

 

But there is competition aplenty in life already, so I am not seeking it in this co-op game. The faster my teammates are at dropping the opposition, the smoother the match will be - the final points distribution is of no concern on how much I have enjoyed the game, so feel free to bring it on with whatever floats your boat .

The only score that matters is how many nonsense posts you have on BSN. The rest is ephemeral.

[Chealec]

I like to top the scoreboard but it doesn't bother me if I don't ... though, having said that, there's always a degree of satisfaction outscoring someone who's using a full-on OP try-hard kit with something daft like a Volus Nutpuncher Vanguard!

 

... but weirdly, I don't like to top it by too much, thinking about it ... I'll almost always bail a U/U/G lobby where I get > 200k since it generally means at least half the team aren't pulling their weight :|

I'm not even good at this game so competitiveness is completely out of the question 

I know it's not true...

[Pee Jae]

Second place is only the first loser. 

 

Maybe a little. The scoreboard gets about one second of my time before I'm past it and gearing up for the next match, whether I come in first or fourth isn't that much of a concern.

probably doesn't help that you use up all or your missiles on swarmers.

[bondiboy]

Everyone has ego - some obviously more than others and no body likes to come last consistently.

 

I dont check the scores during a game unless I have been synch killed and in spec mode. I have a pretty good idea of how everyone is going when the acheivements  are being listed during a game.

 

If I dont get 75 kills by wave 10  then it usually means that I havent played the kit that well.

[FasterThanFTL]

I don't care about score at all anymore, at one point I was dangerously obsessed with it. Now I just want to play the best I possibly can and help in having a fast/smooth and fun game while having great synergy with others.

[Caineghis2500]

I don't go out of my way to outscore as I really don't care that much nevertheless It's a common thing that just happens because I take the solo approach by nature anyways so I'm always in the enemies faces with or without the team.

It's my playstyle to be where the mob is so it's natural for me to outscore even the most elite of players on Xbox (which I have without cheesing many times) as I am one of the elite players with or without anyone's approval. Though I've been very chill as of lately in team games with friends.

I'm a soloer by heart and I'd be foolish to measure myself or anyone else by a broken score system. I only judge myself based on my very own created solo challenges whether by time, map/enemy/difficulty, level of gimp etc......


Also.... Thunderdome was just for fun and laughs since it's inception and not to be taken as any serious score wh*re fest. I trust that everyone who took part in it saw the real meaning behind it..

You're an elite player? But I thought it wasn't possible to be better than other players at this game, right?

[MajorStupidity]

If I am playing with friends I like to try and score higher just as friendly competition, but I am not heartbroken if I score lower than them. Against randoms I generally don't care.

[q5tyhj]

You're an elite player? 

Not to mention an extremely modest one. 

[Kinom001]

Score? Nah, I don't pay attention to it. Typically I have no idea what the scores are until the end of the match. I judge success in this game based on extraction, and that's just a personal preference. I like to see a full extraction but if I don't, or the mission fails, it's just one of those things.

[Skilled_Jedi]

I like to get the top score but always help with objectives.  If a person with a higher score didn't help with objectives I disqualify them.

[Miniditka77]

I want to play as well as I can, the odd time I'll get rankled if I am last on the scoreboard and have played poorly.    If i am scoring 2nd ro 3rd in a game that usually means the game was a success with extraction.  If I'm ahead of the board by a fair bit it usually means the game is in serious jeopardy.

 

Sounds like me.

 

I really don't care where I am on the scoreboard, even if it's 4th place.  If I'm in 4th, is usually means I'm playing with 3 really good players, and if everyone is close to or exceeding my score, it's usually a pretty smooth game.

 

The only time I care about score is when there's a no-skill tryhard who obviously can't stand to not be 1st on the scoreboard.  I just assume that person is a d-bag, and trolling d-bags is fun for me.  I will use all my rockets to ensure that they finish #2 if possible.

How do you manage to fit that massive eDong in your pants?

[Black_Mage]

So long as I get my 20 headshots medal, all is good.

 

I only care about score if someone with a lower N7 rating outscores me, which has never happened before.

[Mordokai]

I like having high score and every time I top the scoreboard, my epeen grows a little.

 

That said, I never play with that in mind. I want to pull my weight and if that means forgoing a kill to revive a teammate, so be it. I'll go for the device to disable, instead for that banshee with only half an armor bar left.

 

Might tag the one with only one or two segments first, though...

 

High score represent, to me personally, that I've done it right by the team.

[Kirrahe Airlines CEO]

Used to care but within the last year or so, I have stopped caring. Only time I look at the scoreboard is to see if someone is leeching. That's about it really. Cause to imo now the scoreboard is just a damage meter/objective thing of sorts. It's put the game more in perspective for me. Whenever I play a weapons platform I aim for headshots now. Just a fun little challenge that I do every match. If it's a caster with lash or pull and we get collectors, metagame time! Double if we get reactor hazard.

[Loufi]

You should not feel unsecure about your status Cain. What you have recorded is enough to show your skills, there's no need to claim it. You maybe don't care, but it just makes you unpopular, and I feel that there's something wrong in that given the time and energy you have dedicated to this game with your solos and guides.

[Deerber]

Lol. Then you either have an N7 lower than 120, or you haven't played with nearly enough people

 

 

That said, on topic. Lol the world has really come to a weird place, when a thread such as this comes up and FTL shows up to say he was obsessed with score but he's not anymore, and Cain claims to be the l337est player around

 

Anyway, about myself... I'm sorry Loufi, I didn't answer the poll cause I don't feel much represented by any of those options. I'll explain.

 

I pretty much go with Caerdon. I've been playing this game for a looooong time now, and for most of that time my first and biggest motivation was to improve as a player. Things have changed lately, as I have understaken a certain path in my real life and also because I think I reached some kind of a platoon where further improvement is quite unlikely and would require way too much time to be worth it. So nowadays, I mostly play for fun. But the habit of trying to kill everything in the blink of an eye has stayed, and so has the rage when the game give me bs XD

 

So, for most of my ME playtime, I strived to become the best player I could. Now, obviously the definition of what a better player is is completely subjective... But mine, personally, is something like "a guy who makes team games as fast as possible". And if you define a better player by that, score actually is a somewhat useful tool to gauge one's performance, although it should be taken with more than a grain of salt. That is, because it obviously has big flaws like not playing objectives yelding more of it than doing them perfectly, combo scores only going to primers, hosting factor not being taken into account, etc. But, it's nothing that a smart individual can't backtrack at the end of a match and decide if the score output is meaningful or if it's not. So yeah, I do care about score somewhat, in my very own personal way. If I'm in a team with friends, I will try to give my best shot at the game, it's just my nature... Which will translate in me trying to kill things as fast as possible, and as a result getting the highest score I can, always with those limitations I just talked about.

 

But although it can seem the other way I guess, it's only a competition with myself. If I top the score by 100k but I feel like I didn't play good, I will be pissed off at my performance. On the other hand, if I bump into someone so much better than I am that he beats me by 100k in a meaningful way while I judge that I played at my best, well... I'll just be glad I found someone to learn a lot from, really. Sadly, last time that happened was with Feneckus, and I doubt it's gonna happen again. And yeah it's sad cause the learning part is always the most fun!

 

So... Yeah, to sum it up - I'm competitive, yeah, but strictly with myself. With others, and about score, only as it's a direct result of my performance.

He's just actually saying what a good many of best players on here think, whether they say that in their posts is another thing.  I've seen many a 'score doesn't matter' type people suddenly start playing differently if they are 3rd on the score list in a game.

This is very true

Many if not all of the elites display it in their manner of play. I just simply give voice to it here. I care very little of being judged for it..

Indeed...
