Perks For Loyalty

[blood_scout67]

dave what would thease loyalty perks be you cant have something too low cant have something to high plus a economy would be annoying the real life one sucks sorry mate its not a great idea check the rules check the way the game works and come up with a good idea please this is getting old and i guess you dont like people moaning at you

[MAINER]

i dont know what happened there went to put quote in for mainer but seemed to have brought up old thread , as you can see above mainer is 100 per cent loyal so i thought you may have liked the idea , and rotating it would give incentative for players to wait till end of the war if there cycle was due 

I have been with the Bishops for 5 years now...

I have flown for all three sides in my 4-1/2 yrs in this community and met some pretty good folks.  I fly FSO, snapshots from time to time, and participate in various scenarios when I have the time.  For me it's not about loyalty, spying, or any of the myriad other things people think someone switching sides is up to.  It is however all about enjoying the time I do get to fly.  Getting a few perks for staying on one side, to me, doesn't seem like much incentive when I can up a 190 A8, kill a couple 51Ds, and land 5-6 perks for one 45 min sortie.   

So I have to -1 to this

david... do you even *play* the game, i.e., pay for a subscription?  if so, how long now?  (if you haven't - then stop reading this (and posting on the boards) and either pony up or hush up.)

As you can see, some people have been here for *years* - if you're this new, it'd be a good idea to basically just learn more about this game and it's dunamics and techinical aspects before spamming the boards in hopes of something sticking.

The more you do what you're currently doing, the less people are going to give you even less consideration beyond what you're already seeing.

Enthusiasm is okay as long as it's not accompanied by ignorance. Enthusiasm + ignorance = annoyance, which you are rapidly becoming.  Just sayin'

waiting for arrival of new motherboard so cant play as i have a slow pc, but i have ipad, yes i do pay and play , and i am not ignorent , and ive stopped posting new ideas since gunglinger said  my ideas are good, but players will take more notice if i concentrate on one idea  only and fugitive said they are good also

Can you give us your in game name? just curious.

its forum stuff on here we are all equals and on the same side if i gave my id that would be breaching my contract with my squad , this the united nations of htc , i could be your wingman for all you know

[EVZ]

OK point taken , but i think its a pretty good idea to solve a problem that so many squads have , the 12 hour rule is a incentive but i think some players have found a loop hole by using there friends account or family members account , the perks would be greater incentive , as every 1 loves them its the currency of htc , if htc were to open up a store selling extra perks they would make a fortune

I think ? the "PERK STORE" is what HT was referring to when he said NO PERK ECONOMY ... I don't think the idea of a perk bonus for LOYALTY is economic ... It would probably have the intended effect on SOME PLAYERS and might be appreciated by those of lesser talents that DON'T earn a lot of Perks normally. The PERK FARMERS will probably NOT like this idea as it would award Perks to people OTHER THAN themselves and few of them could qualify for it ... It makes ME think that  ??? MAYBE ??? a PERK TAX should be charged to anyone SWITCHING SIDES in a MAIN ARENA ??? Any such TAX would be figured on a % basis ... Want to switch sides? OK, it will cost you 30% of your perk points ...Hmmmmm, I think I'll raise this as a separate topic ... You're an INSPIRATION David !

yes that could be applied im sure it would be so easy to impliment , htc could write a code in o club and as soon as you switch you loose a certain amount of perks , there has to be a fair balance , if some players dump there country before the war has been won , having monopolised on certain parts of that war where that country may have had a overall advantage , and were vulching aircraft on a capped field for intance , and to switch countries to do the same to the same country he has just left

What about those that are not married to a chess piece?

What about those that could give less than a rat's backside about "teh warz"?

Forfeiting perks because one wants to switch sides?  Horrible idea, regardless of how much you think it would "balance" things.  ENY is there for a fair balance, regardless of how badly some whine about it.

If there is to be a limit on what country I can fly for and for how long I must fly there without garnering any penalty (thus limiting my full usage of the options in the game), I suggest that I only pay 1/3 of my normal monthly subscription fee, since I would have to stay with one country (out of 3) for that tour, lest I get penal-ized...

How is that for fair and balanced

most players dont use them any way , they just love loadsa perks , its like monopoly every one hates landing on someones square who has a hotel , but its not real money , its only a game, its just to stop someone changing from a top hat to shoe etc before they get to that hotel

Please provide a reference for this statement.

If they don't use them, why all the fuss?

Yes, it is, so why all the crying over folks that switch sides.

I do in fact use my perkies.  I love to up a 262 and just fly around real fast and annoy those attacking my bases.  I rarely have more than 300-350 fighter perks during any tour.  Why should I have to lose perks at the end of the month if my squad chooses to jump to another chess piece? 

Just more food for thought...

we already get perks for loyalty, you just have to win the war to get em.
