Please can I have your combat stats

[Mordu]

Just hit Dangerous yesterday at exactly 3025 kills. Also this is all hunting in Res sites without doing any instance resets for better targets.

Combat Rank = Dangerous
Bounties Claimed = 3085
Profit from Bounties = 87,818,949
Combat Bonds = 0
Profit from Combat Bonds = 0
Assassinations = 0 (bugged)
Profit from assassinations = 0 (bugged)
Highest Single Reward = 168,318 (bugged)

Note - I only used a Kill Scanner once and never claimed the bounty. (Blew up sidewinder to get rid of it)

Profit from assassinations = about 3m but bugged

I don't know how the above "Elite" players got to Elite so quick.

Easy, just check the analysis/graph further above.

You are currently at (12006*0.472+2990)/9588=8656/9588=90% on your way to Elite. Bond count more than Bounties, as KWS use can get you multiple Bounties per kill. Also Bond targets take more shots due to their tough shields/armor.

You need roughly 932 more bonds or 1974 bounties to reach Elite.

Rank = Elite Bounties claimed = 11651 Combat Bonds = 3880

Another good fit to the existing data.

Thanks for posting! Very helpful data point. Have updated the graph & statistics accordingly.

Hm, both of you are above the curve in the graph. What could be different from other players reaching Elite with such numbers?

Did you do most of your kills in Wings?
Did you use KWS for every Bounty kill?

Haus: Any idea?

Either (1) a bug, (2) the RNG hates you guys, or (3) some difference in play-style that we haven't identified. I'd recommend opening a ticket, but wouldn't expect much. IIRC, there are some posts earlier in this thread about getting Elite in trade/exploration very late, and Frontier's response was "grind more, you'll get it eventually."

If it's not a bug, I'm really interested in what the missing variable is. Several people have suggested that the ship you're flying may impact things. For my part, the large majority of kills was in a Python - maybe 500 in an Anaconda. Also, I didn't really go out of my way to target higher ranking ships (Elite, Dangerous, etc...) in CZs, but I did mainly target Anaconda/Python/Clipper/Dropship/Asp/Cobra. If smaller ships shot at me, I'd kill them of course. Also, probably 90% of my CZ kills were in hi-intensity zones. Probably <500 of my kills were while winged.

Also, I wonder if VictoriaG and BaRtUc had a lot of kills carried over from pre-release? I didn't play in Dec/Jan, so all my kills from Beta were wiped. My sense is that "carried over" kills counted more than new kills, but it may be worth considering.

G'luck!

 

[IceFire122]

Thanks for the reply.
Afaik kills were reset for everybody from beta to gamma. All progress from gamma was transferred to release, but gamma being rather short (<1mth), that should not have much impact.

After thinking about potential impacts of wing share kills, I did most of my Elite grinding in solo, with FDL, Python or Anaconda. I was not selective about targets in conflict zones and targeted everything from novice Sidewinder (Yes, they appear sometimes) to Elite Anaconda.

What is interesting about VictoriaG's and BaRtUc's data is the high number of bounties. If they hunted in systems generating triple or quadruple Bounties per kill, that could be one influence.

Just how would you open a ticket? Looking at the system there doesn't seem to a catagory related to asking this question?

I think, they changed the system and game bugs should primarily be reported as a new thread in the bugs forum. Remembering similar threads about ranking up in this forum, the posters did open respective tickets in the support system (https://support.elitedangerous.com/index.php)

I would file the ticket under "gameplay bug"->"still able to play".

 

[Trinity Star]

I thought this and used that last week, with no response. They don't even appear as open tickets on your account.

I have nothing carried over from pre-release, only got the game at Christmas.
Mostly all done with a Conda, RES Sites spawning the big four ships (obviously kill the little stuff that attacks)

Some in a wing with another player, what effects do wings have?

Are you still farming RES sites? You gotta go to conflict zones for the combat rank to come at any haste.

I brought my combat bonds up to 5,515.
