Giving Perkies
« on: August 21, 2010, 03:41:14 PM »
What if we can give a squad member or a friend some perk points? If you give them the perks and they die, well thats your fault.

This one has been brought up before. The answer is usually a lot of yesses by the ones who see the surface and a lot of no's by those who think a little deeper in it. Think. One squaddie has umpteen thousand perkies and never uses them, is it a good idea to waste them all on squaddies?

"Hey buddy, can I borrow a souple hundred perks or so?"

"I WOULD join that jet mish, but I don't have the perks."

Not very good idea. I'll try to find the thread somewhere.

HiTech has said he doesn't want a "perk economy", in which I could make money selling perk points to you over paypal or sumthin, and I would spend all day with like-minded individuals in Mid or Early war just farming perkies.

I can see it now.

A guy with 7 kills and no ammo heading back to land his kills.

Suddenly a high Tempest appears and starts his dive.

7 kill boi can be seen typing furiously on 200:  Tempest in sector ### don't shoot me down, I'll give ya 100 perkies!!

Then the inevitable reply comes: make it 500 and ya got a deal!!

(Tempy drivers are notoriously greedy)

It could also conceivably turn the MAs into gambling dens. :devil

Jeep races for perks etc.

Actually sounds like a pretty good idea!! :aok

this isn't a good example, it more like

'we'll give you 600 fighter perks if you join the squad'
they join the squad recieve their bounty and leave straight away

I can easily see this happening. Tank gunnery contests, jeep races, fighter races. Hell, whack a mole using jeeps and M8's.

I was never much for technicalities. Loosely tangent is good enough for me 90% of the time.

 Ive always thought it would be a great perk of being in a squad, if a squad creates a mission, with perk planes (excluding the most expensive ones 262 ,Tempest for starters) that the perks wouldnt be spent from a death. Non squad missions would be normal perk burners.

I want to be able to sell my perks for cash!  I could make tons of money selling off all of my perks for $100 per 1000 perks and not to mention all the new Chinese players we'd be getting.  Win-win!

lol bagrat, surely you have more than that. Or blow them on 262's as soon as you have the perks and there is a cap in need of breaking (like I do).
