rank options
« on: April 29, 2005, 01:55:35 PM »
i dont know about you guys, but i would like to make some changes to rank.

firstly, i dont believe that your rank should fall if you spend time away from the game, eg. going on holiday with a rank of 284, and returning to 1478!:mad:

i would also really like to see some kind of benefit to rank, possibly a slight reduction in perk costs??, or some kind of system that rewards rank?

Your rank falls while you are away because other people are bombing, gv-ing and shooting planes, increasing their score/rank.  It's only natural for your rank to fall as the rest of the arena passes your score.

ok, fair point i suppose, but the ranks arent proper anyway.

it is possible that everyone has a rank of 1, theres no limit on no.s who have same rank

i still dont think it should fall, or at least not so quickly.

anyway, what do you think of the other suggestions??
i REALLY want to see benefits to rank, just like in real life. as i suggested, perk costs reduced as a result of rank would be easy to do and rewarding

anyone else got any ideas, id really like to hear them?

how this idea - hold onto your seat...

fugeddabout rank...  work instead for recognition amongst your peers

ranks/stats are merely indicators that you can read whatever you want into them.  the MA is too unstructured to try and impose some sort of rank structure into.  

The ToD development will be more rank-based with various benefits accordingly.  But who knows when this will finally see teh light of day. HTC is working on it.  Until then I suggest you do your best to become all that you can be...

To further bolster Shane's statement ...

ranks/stats are merely indicators that you can read whatever you want into them. the MA is too unstructured to try and impose some sort of rank structure into.

Many many months ago, I achieved the rank of #10. Believe me, I was far from the 10th best person in all of Aces High back then ... and that probably still holds true to this very day.

With that ... you do get a perk for a low ranking ... you can grab control of any CV your little heart desires ... and chicks will swoon all over you.

No need for a reduction in perk costs ... learn how to dog-fight and take up a Hurricane, Spit V, P-40, P-47-D11 or D25 and you will have more perks than you will know what to do with. I have over 20,000 and hardly use them ... perk planes aren't all that ... the early war rides is where all the fun is at.
