What are midwarriors going to spend their points on then?
If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.

Makes sense and I agree gaining perks in Early War is lame. However this would cramp some people's style and demoralize them. I say no. Not to mention theres not alot to spend on in Early or Mid anyway.

if you perk farm in EW/MW to use them in LW ... you have no style.

 :confused:  It is an option?  And here, all this time, I was having too much fun doing this in LW. :bhead  Oh wait...

 :lol

I tried this once...found it BORING as hell. :bhead  It's more fun when there is a chance to be intercepted or even shot down vs farming in the other arena's were your BIGGEST threat is a disco.  I get plenty of perks for shooting down planes AND blowing stuff up, even if I don't make it home. :)



As for the OP, it would not bother me one bit if the perks were separated between each arena, however, some folks who play LW for a while may wish to go into the other arena's for kicks or to plain get away from the LWA.  Having them start from scratch would make it a little frustrating for a few of them.  The numbers are quite low in EW/MW compared to LW, meaning it will be harder for them to find enough fights within a reasonable amount of time to rebuild.  MOST of the time I log in, I see EW sitting at 0-5 and MW 0-10.  Honestly, if I wanted to go there, but had to start with zero perks, I wouldn't bother.  I am guessing that HiTech has it the way it is because it's easier to keep perks and let them be used in the other 2 arena's vs losing a customer entirely because they have to rebuild their perks from zero in arena's that are ghost towns.

Wow I find it hard to believe it has been almost 38 days since our last path. We should have release another 38 versions by now  :bhead

Very few people fly the very few perks rides anyway, so the playing field is pretty level. Of course, some people can't fight on a level playing field.  ;)

For the most part, I personally stay out of perk rides - I see no reason to use them other than the occasional "let's do something different" - so have more perks than I know what to do with. I feel sorry for those who "HAVE" to use perk rides and cannot earn enough perks in their favorite arena to keep them in those rides.

who needs perks....  when i left the game i had thousands of perks, nothing really to spend them on in MW and didnt really care for LW.   I always thought this should be changed.  Dont know what the numbers are like in MW and EW now but sometimes the perk farmers at least give ya something to shoot at...  +1
