Can someone explain?
« on: February 10, 2010, 07:41:31 PM »
OK, so I was on today, and rooks had least number of fields, and fewer players (at one point, but didn't last long) than the knits.

Tiger was perked at 32, and a knit buddy of mine informs me that the tiger was perked at 25 for the knits. Can anyone tell me how that works?

I'm tired and mushy but IIRC ENY is based off total number of players online, while perk mult is based on "in flight" numbers.  So if they have less guys "in flight" their perk rides will be cheaper.  I'm sure Lusche will be along to straighten us all out tho.
To each their pwn.

Seems a little backwards there. Just me, but seems like eny should be based on numbers in flight.

No.

This is the agenda you have been pushing for on how you think ENY should work.  (OK.  Maybe not you....) 

ENY is based on the total number of players per side in an arena.  The more players on your side versus the other two sides, the higher your ENY. 

The "price" of perk rides is adjusting constantly based on the numbers in the arena.  If you do not refresh your clipboard you will not see this adjusting. 

So, you can be sitting in a hanger looking at your clipboard for five minutes and it shows a Tiger for 25 perks and you launch and are immediately killed by a spawn camper.  You may lose more than 25 perk points because more people joined the arena on your side or left the opposing sides during the five minutes you were figuring out what to do in the hanger.

I call BS on the "fewer players" claim if another side had a smaller perk for the same gv.

Screen shot?

Would be better with screen shots.  Without them...... It's just words on a forum.

If you didn't fly perk rides all the time this would not be an issue.

You'd have so many perks in the bank as to never look at cost.

That must be why Bish get the advanced clipboard, FM radio, and the invisible helicopters for supply runs.

I don't ususally take screen shots of perk prices, and then upload them to photobucket. IDK about sandwich.

I just wanted to know how the perk system worked. It was probably that I didn't refresh my clipboard, and so didn't know the perk price had dropped.
