Random noob thoughts- Mission perk system?

[HugeHead]

I've been playing AH about a month now and I've really enjoyed the game and community. I want to thank those who've made it so easy to become a part of this game!

I'll bet someone made this suggestion a long time ago but, just in case allow me to share a thought...

We all want to see a more coordinated strategy effort in game or at least many of us do. It occurs to me that one way to do this would be perk points given to mission organizers and participants even if the mission fails. Right now from what I see there is no incentive for many to join or organize a mission. I think if you take the time to set a mission up and you manage to get a set minimum of players into that mission then you should be given some reward as should those who participate. Yes...I realize this could be exploited but, I leave it up to those wiser then I to suggest ways of curtailing that.

The last thing I think we need is the politics and assorted ego crap that comes with CoC as in WWIIonline. That's a bloody soap opera and one of the reasons I no longer play that game. What we do need is an incentive for people to get more into the strategic side of things here and using the mission system to it's fullest potential strikes me as the fastest way to do that.

IMHO

Thanks,

I fear our community is not ready for something like this. The horde mentality has taken over what was once better gameplay. I wish missions were directed towards bases that were not idle. What we have now is hordes flying all over the map avoiding each other to capture bases. Can you imagine what it would be like if you gave them added perks for this?

Well I never assumed it wouldn't be a bit more complex then how I portrayed it. It's real easy for players such as I to toss around ideas such as this while the devs roll their eyes thinking how much work would go into setting this kind of thing up to ensure it's not missused. Which is exactly the reason why I am going to avoid trying to express solutions for issues such as the one raised.

Thanks!

No it is great to throw ideas around. Nothing wrong with that. Its just that those of us that have been playing this game for a few years our a little sour on the way gameplay has changed. I believe what you suggested would make the current situation worse.

I have never understood the "give me perks" thingy. Geeez if ya play the game at all you are going to get more perks than you can ever use.
  10,000 perks and fifty cents will buy you a phone call.

  What exactly would you be awarding the mission planner for doing?

  Let`s see...from ..Lightbulb!!! "OH boy, I`ve got an idea" to "MISSION POSTED"=1, 2 minutes.
  From that point on it pretty well takes care of itself.
  You get about 10 to 20 "JOIN Mission" statements in varying degree of wit.
 Anywhere from 5 to 50 "How do I join a mission?' questions.
  5 or so  " I would join , but I`m busy right now" statements.
  10 or so "What`s the mission channel?" questions, always on country channel.
  A couple of " What base do I need to be for mission" questions.
  2 to 3 token "What base is the mission going to?" questions from dual accounters.
  And usualy at least one" hit Alt/F4 "responses to above questions.

  So.... what needs rewarding?
