Author Topic: Transferable Perk Points (Read 660 times)

I know I've seen this idea before, but it would be nice if perk points were transferable. A dot command could be used: . ### fighter Username

On occasion my squad has tried to run a mission in a perk plane and been unable to because one member would not have enought points to participate. Several squaddies have 1000+ perk points and would be happy to use some of theirs so that everyone could participate.

Each player should earn his perks for himself. Just the way it is.

I believe this would result in more suicidal flying and less reward for flying the less uber rides. This feature would effectively allow the people with friends to fly nothing but La7s, die all of the time, never land kills and still allow them to up a 262, 4-Hog or Tempest when desired.

While I see where you're coming from, I believe that this would have nothing but a negative impact on the game.

Get your squadies to start flying planes with 30 Eny. If you guys wing together, there's no reason why you can't get back with 5 or 6 kills and come up with 30 perks per sortie.

Just a few sorties like this and you're on your way in a Tempest.... etc.

There's nothing more rewarding in this game than flying a good fight with good wingies and landing 10 kills in a Fw 190 A5 or 109 G2

I guess some people would actually sell their perks...hmmm maybe no bad idea after all

I could see someone using a shade account in EW or MW to use buffs to milkrun for points, then transfer those points to his/her LW fighter account as a means to protect his/her score and statistics.

Would love to see a Squad Perk Pot. If you have it seleted you donate half your perks each sortie. The C/O can choose who can and cannot use them (kinda like the with the invite privileges), so the some noob that you just invited cant use them all uping Me262s from a caped field. This is the only way Id ever see perks being "transferable" anything other then that you would see perks for sell on Ebay.

Who cares, sounds like easy 262 kills to me:t

One more thing, PERK BETTING IN THE DA, or maybe a poker table for the o'club???

I loved the idea so much I too had posted one referring to a Squad Perk Pool a while back. Other too seem to like the idea, while others not, I don't recall on Official responce from HT regarding the matter.

Games in the O'club..... Blackjack anyone? Or placing bets on people who fight in the DA...but then someone would throw the fight or get discoed.

I think card games or virtual pool in the oclub would be neat. (will give all the whiners who complain about not getting in because of the caps something to do)

Could hustle up some noobs!

Other than that I reckon selling of perk points isn't a bad idea either. We could make some sort of currency aspect to it. Everyone would resort to flying EW planes and the need for an ENY restricter lessened.

Plus I could make loads of cash selling un-needed perks!

Another thought would be a leaderboard of total perk points. I would love to see who has the most.

I guess I never have to pay for AH2 again. I will just offer four "premium memberships" in my squad. For a small charge I guarantee 400 fighter perks each month , enough to fly 2-4 Me 262 or 4-8 Tempest/Me 163

I'd like to see this, I was going to do a 262 mission with a squad mate, but he was 0 perks under the 262 cost.

captkaos · « **Reply #12 on:** June 11, 2007, 04:07:37 PM »

The problem with the idea, is that Perks will become a commodity. People will run up perk points to sell or trade them, and yes I mean sell. It is not uncommon in many Mulitple Player Online games such as "evercrack" for players to sell item on ebay and than transfer them in the game. I would hate to see that. People would just make milk runs to run up their perks and sell them.

Now, as for missions, why not make it an option for the person starting the mission to use his perks alone for all the perk planes in the mission?

I am past the 15,000 perk point mark, hardly ever use them as I like to fly the C.205 and the 110. Now if I could set up a 262 mission, and provide an entire squadron of planes, I would get plenty of people to join.

Makes sense...

EDIT:
On the missions subject...It is hard to get everyone in the same plane with the same loadout...how about a SQUAD MISSION maker that allows you to chose skin, that only your squad can see...and that way, you can get the skin, and not have to post a country wide mission and get n00bs to join.
