do you think more people would participate in missions if:
A: planes part of the mission received an extra (small) perk/points % boost.
like say if you shot down a N1k in your yak,, you get 2 points, but if you had been part of an organized mission and did so.. you would get 2.5
B: Missions notifications were listed in the Text buffer.. such as the mission and time till take off updated ever few min till it launches.. this would be squelchable of course.
C: you could send a direct request via the mission screen to add/change aircraft, the planner only having to click an allow/deny button.
reasons:
for suggestion
A it seems many people shy away from missions because, compared to furballing or just doing your own thing, you take longer to get into contact.. so perhaps a little reward for being a team player would motivate folks to join, and offset the discrepancy in points for the scorepotatos.
for suggestion
B so many times ive seen people actually join, but because the way the game is.. if they are flying/driving/whatever the start of the mission can lapse without them knowing it. and they miss out.. the alternative to this of course is someone yelling ~~~MISSION STARTS IN 2 MIN!!!!~~~ and such over and over again on the country channel.. which is tedious and .. annoying.. would be better if people who signed up would get an AUTOMATED reminder ever min till about 1 min before and then every 15 sec or so.. so the planner doesent have to bellow on the green and look foolish, and waste his/her time.
for suggestion
C I know lots of people don't join because their ride(s) aren't listed, this would make it a little easier and compliant..
wanna join the mission but no P47s are listed.. at it yourself, set the load out etc etc.. and hit submit.. the planner gets a little popup or message, all he has to do is take a quick glance, and hit "allow" and your set.. or if you submit something inane or uncalled for.. "deny" and you cant submit another change for XX minutes.. or such.
Im only bringing this up because since i started playing i.. for the reasons above have not participated in but 1 or 2 missions.. until today i FORCED myself to do so, and it was some of the most fun ive had playing the game.. now i just wish more people would post them..
and not all of them are base caps.. I know how many people blow the "the purpose of the game isnt to take bases, thats not how I spend my $15.. etc etc bla bla bla" I had some real fun on some missions that was just 5 people upping from a base and trolling the front lines looking for targets, or just forming a group and heading to a "hot spot"..
I just fail to understand why more people dont play cooperatively than do. It really adds a new level of immersion and FUN to the game..
