disco= landed 3 times per tour

[Citabria]

discos suck. most of them happen going to or coming from the battle.

can we have the option of a lifeline 3 times a tour where we can have a disco counted as a landing on the first 3?

somthing that will turn off if abused or used more than 3 times but would be a nice touch for those who enjoy streaking and consider a disco being killed by mechanical failure of the internet.

How would abuse be recognized?

3 strikes and its a disco?


hell even 1 free disco that would count as a landing would be nice.

make it out of range of the enemy the way tanks land on grass with no one around even

I'm think he just means from a stats side.  After all, name in lights is not that important to many, even though it is the most important for the other group of "many" 

How would abuse be recognized?

Good Idea!  +1

How is everyone gets 3 free abuses a month better than a few people get disco'd each month?

[Citabria]

a few?

discos have been a problem since this game began. just no one ever bothered to think there could be a better way of dealing with the instability of the internet in terms of stats and by measure  of stats I mean one stat. kill streak/ k/d ratio.

this is not a stats or rank request or wish.

its a hardcore kill streak flyer wish.

when I feel like flying to live for a tour I stop flying after I die or disco once.

that makes it thrilling because there is somthing to lose. once k/d ratio does not equal total kills the streak ends by my standards of excitement.

getting killed can be avoided but the internet having a hiccup for 1 minute and HTC server dropping you from the game can and will happen and when it does there is nothing you can do to avoid it.

Just make the disco count as a death for your crew chief as reward for the shoddy job he did maintaining your plane.  Then, just re-up and continue your streak.

It's a tough call really.....  I have had 15 discos in one week and then not another for 6 months. 

It would be cool if there was a happy medium that could be reached but at the same time, I think human nature would cause the darkness in people to come out if it were an "abuse-able" thing.

I do agree with the naysayers.  There are def a few people I can think of, by name even, that would pull the plug just to keep what they have.  But at the same time, most would just play play play.

How about a disco after being damage recorded as it is now with loss of perks, etc......if you've not been damaged it has no effect on your stats...basically a landing.

The guys pulling the plug aren't a big deal, if they've already been hit it will still record a kill.  I don't like losing perks or stats for something I have no control over.

I preferred the idea that your plane would just continue on autopilot for a set amount of time (similar to an AFK pilot), if you could re-login into the arena before being shot down, you could just re-enter your plane.

No.

Granted it's frustrating to disco and spoil your stats but it doesn't follow that you have to count the disco as a death and stop flying for the tour. That's a choice that you make.
