Right, after my first official PvP run I have a few thoughts:

I think the 2.0 K/D is setting the bar a little too high - I think 1.5 would be too high for a lot of people if 1.0 is the cut-off. In my opinion there could be two different options:

1) Lower the 'negative' KD to 0.75 for losing a point, and make >1.5 earn +1.
2) Keep the current 'negative' KD at 1 but lower the KD to 1.25

There were a couple of people in our run that managed to go +1, but then immediately lose it in the next match; which - I imagine - would be a little disheartening. I think either of the above may give people a better chance of holding onto their points.

Also, I think there needs to be different tiers by game type. It's much easier (IMO) to get a better KD than in Clash.

An idea to the mix of everyone's suggestions. Maybe have lower level k/d ratio training pvp worth 1 point. Then have higher k/d ratio runs worth 2 points. This would be similar to the normal and hard raids. You can apply rank of you wanted but that would be hard to track I think.

I also think you shouldn't be able to lose points you already earned. Say I do two training pvp runs and get two points and decide to try the higher k/d run. I fail. I shouldn't lose the work I did on the two training runs but remain at 2 points.

Minimum rounds or time should be set. Say 5 rounds or one hour.

Also an end point should be set, in my opinion. This way you don't join an event to replace someone and not have the ability to meet the minimums.

If a member has to leave before the set end point they would earn no points for the run no matter how high their k/d ratio in completed matches was at.

I am kind of in agreement with Rux, even though I only really got into PvP with the clan during the last IB and am still learning a lot, I know my average KD is well below what is required to achieve any points. I do expect to improve and one day, well into the future, expect to be nailing down KD's in excess of 2.0 but until that happens I will struggle, I expect this may be the case for many clan members, whether seasoned PvPer's or not it takes time to learn the maps, best loadouts, positioning etc.
Maybe poll the clan for their average KD on the Bungie site so we can see what the overall average is and a decision can be made as to what the KD for points threshold should be. It should be achievable not unobtainable for the core of those that will get involved.
Perhaps, if it is not too complicated, link the KD required to the rank. Munifex needs 1.2 KD, Avocati - 1.5 and so on
Whatever, I will still get involved, it would just be nice to know I might be able to achieve awards.

The whole pvp system is flawed. In reality you just need the kill shot. That doesn't make you a great pvp player. Should be based off of dmg done at the end, but no way to track it.
As far as points, I don't really care. Your point system was based off of participation, but now off of KD?

Really like the way it's set out. Think it should stick to 2 k/d for a good while to see how the scores build. Then adjust to 1.8 if needed.

....1.5. Perhaps 2 points for a ratio of 3 or higher. And I think it'd be worth considering that a member's points never fall below the floor of their current level. Reach Munifex and 25 points is as low as you go. Avocati and 50 is your floor, etc.

I voted for 1.5 but I can't vouchh for it being the perfect number. It seems that there isn't much Crucible love in xAx. With that in mind I think more attainable feedback might induce the non-PvPers to participate. For example, maybe give a 1/2 point or similar for each ratio over 1. A full point or similar for a ratio of

pvp ranking is cool, i likes. just not the k/d point system. maybe a total match system?

19th May 2015 D2dbx
how about instead of k/d ratio points, since it would be tough to keep track of matches and k/d per match/per person. how about, 1 point per 2 matches , no matter of out come. and each event has to be minimal of 10 matches or 20. whacha guys think?

Maybe lover kd ratio please other than that's its a good idea

there has been a new poll created on the front page for everyone to vote if 2.0 is too aggressive and to drop it to 1.5 basedo n feedback we are in consideration of changing and it will be discussed, please voice your opinion here and vote on the front page thanks guys!

I think 2.0kd is too aggressive.

Don't like this idea, I sometimes get over 2 KD but most of the times I'm over 1 and just below 2.
Been in quite some PvP events right now and I have to say that I don't see many people going over 2KD, a lot of people even stay under 1 a lot so for all of us there are no hopes of getting higher ranks, then you'll also have to be that awesome to win vs lagswitchers and other exploits and cheaters.

Guess I'll just stick with PoE.

Munifex is going to be a challenge!

Can we got negative? If so will there be an award for the lowest score possible, because I am sure I will win that one before any of the others. That is while trying to get positive points.

Seems like a good idea, so you are saying each event will have ten matches which would equate to the possible ten points? Can players earn more points with K/D of like 4 and above?
