New, expanded ZDaemon stats

2026-08-04 • Kilgore • (General ZDaemon News)

A very long term project finally came to completion: hugely expanded ZDaemon stats for all game modes. Here is a quick rundown of the important points: The stats are not restricted to FFA experience: there are many stats for each game mode (for example, survival, coop, CTF, etc), as well as non-game-mode-related stats such as instagib accuracy, playing time per player, as well as aggregate playing time for the whole of ZDaemon. There is a new duel ladder/rating system; it uses a system called "Glicko", which is an enhancement over the well-known Elo system. When checking someone's duel record, one can see every single duel he played, the rating of the opponent (at that date) and how the result affected his own rating. In the interest of transparency and verifiability, there is a server-side demo recorded for each duel and it can be downloaded by anyone. There are lifetime, annual and monthly versions of each statistic. At the start of each month, winners of various statistics are computed for the month just ended and displayed on the main stats page. Some of the new stats started getting collected on June 1, 2026; others started on August 2. Note that the stats get updated nightly; not in real time as exp. in the past. You can find them in the main stats page. Announcement topic on the forum
