perk point threshold for attaboys

[Tilt]

I would wish that we had to (also) achieve 2 perk points before we got any attaboys................

Given that we are all quite shallow, easily gratified pilits in vain search of glory amongst our fellow players I believe it would induce a tendency toward less uber ac (with higher perk reward) within the MA.  Of course those of us who don't care about attaboys but enjoy the uber rides can continue as we do now.......................... .

This would apply equally to kill points and bomber points such that those of us landing 112 bomber points in B29's can avoid embarrassment...............

I'm game....list perks earned instead of kills.  Might make people aware of farmer planes.

You mean stop people from texting "wtg" unless you get 2 perks? So what you are really asking for is a sliding scale of aircraft that announce landings with kills? Spit 1 would be one kill but a P-51 would be at least six?

you can farm perks with any airplane if that's what somebody really wants to do.

That does seem to be what he is asking.  As a 51D driver I can see why you wouldn't like it though.

What he is asking for is the same thing every noob in the game tries at least once. He wants the game changed to favor his methods.

What exactly do you think will happen? How is this different from weighing score more toward kills per death over kills per time? You really should think before you speak Karnak.

Why not wish for the kill message to be generated only when you have 3 kills in a fighter and damage equal to 2000 in a bomber?

The majority of players have beginner or general skills. The current HOST reward message is to help them feel good about playing the game and feeling the product is worth investing a monthly $14.95. I've only ever heard wishes of this nature from long time accomplished players who do not consider the good of the whole game over their own. These wishes usualy disregard the requirment of management to keep a revenue stream by instituting carrots and brass rings easy to grasp by the many rather than the accomplished Few.

This is not like government where the accomplished pay the majority of the taxes and influence offcials to arrange the country in their favor. It's a capitolistic business where everyone's money payed on time makes them equals. Your achivement level and time in grade playing the game does not equal paying your bill on time.

Excuse me?  It seems you didn't understand what I was saying.  Also, his request doesn't sound like a method to favor a flying style so much as a method to reduce the SYSTEM spam.

I was neither agreeing with it nor disagreeing with it.  I was noting that you are very defensive about anything that you perceive as an attack on the P-51D though.

Not at all. I can see with clarity what this will bring about. It wont change what I do or how I do it in the least. I did notice you took the time to try to turn it on me but yes this wish is nothing more than a contrived method to favor his (Tilts) style of playing. Its obvious you cant see it.

How does it significantly favor his method of playing?  It is inconsequential.

Karnak please try to engage some thought to this.

You know that most of the players are not able to land many kills at all. While those that do many times get a string of "wtg's" in the text buffer. The weak complaint here is that the wtg's force tactical information to scroll off the screen (mostly who you just killed). However there is another side to this and that is the players that want to see their names displayed. Now here is the hard part for you (so far).

What effect will this have on the plane types the players that wish to have their names in light will fly? And then consider the types of planes Tilt flies (and myself too). Its like allowing late war planes in mid war.

Bad idea.
