QP2 Career Best stat based on highest altitude, not highest placement.

[grizzled rover]

This is a very, very small thing, but I think it would make more sense to make career bests based on the highest altitude, not highest placement. (Alternatively, make best altitude and placement separate.)

The reason why I think it should be based on highest altitude is because weekly placements are influenced significantly on who played during that week, which makes it not ideal to see your true peak. It should represent the best of yourself, and not represent what could be influenced by others and is out of your control.

My current career best was obtained when not a lot of people placed higher than it during that week. When I set a new highest altitude that was higher than that a few weeks ago, it didn’t override my now current career best, but I do remember it placed lower than my current career best, which leads me to believe that it goes off of highest placement.

(I searched for threads to make sure this wasn’t going to be a repeat, but couldn’t find anything. If this is a duplicate, please ignore.)

yes, that is how they work. if you want to get your altitude PB, you can easily recall it (or feature it) with the Zenith Explorer achievement

i only mention this out of necessity—they're different stats and i recognize hogging a whole achievement slot isn't ideal, but you should be informed. updates immediately and has your all-time altitude PB
