Was fighting with nights and they all flying tempest casue they cheap they had 20 less players than us. They were killing us left and right,so I jumped in one to go play give them run for there money...........WRONG got shot down lost 117 perks. If this perk system stays Im gonna be jumping sides so often Im gonna forgot where I came from. Whats your guys take on it?? I know Bishops cant stand it,but supose all others like it casue planes are cheaper.

It's an excellent system that does exactly what it says on the tin.

If I remember correctly, you started off with us Rooks. I distinctly remember seeing you and even answering some questions you asked on country channel.

After some time, I noticed you moved over to the Knights. Not to blame you, but it felt kinda disappointing to see people who recently joined and was on your team and you helped out moving to some other country.

Now you are with the Knights. A nice bunch of pilots, and pretty confident in overall numbers, too.

...

If you are so frustrated with the expensive perks, then come again to Rooks. Side changing to the powerful, advantaged people are considered dweebey, but noone really laughs on people who willingly change to outnumbered sides.... unless you change back again in a week or just one month, like some other loud mouths have done, which became the laughter for us Rooks for eternity.

ROFL

Then don't be a Rook, don't die, and pay the price for sticking with the Hoarde. Nothing's free, everything has their price, and everyone's got their responsibilities.

Up to now, people could just go yellow-belly and give up balancing, go join the largest bully in the street and start stepping on the lesser side, free-of-charge. Heck, it was even considered stupid to pay allegieance and loyalty to your old teammates, risking shi**y 5 to 1 odds every field you upped. All you had to do was change to the largest side and start earning cheap kills everyday for free.

Well, FYI you still can do it now.

Except for the little fact that the numbers advantage now comes with a drawback, like everything else.

The balance system is working out exactly as planned. Now, the guys who are numerically advantaged start whining, and that's worth a long, loud laugh.

Heehee

Makes me glad I changed to Rook honestly for honest reasons

Flew a F4U-1C for 7 perks last night.

Lost the perks but earned them back next mission in a 190D.

Sorry, am I gloating?

Newbies seem to be coming in day by day, so they should be put on the team that has least players at the time they start in the MA.

Eg........Bish.......185..... .nit.................175..... ........Rook..............135 , so the Newbie would be put on the rooks to help get there numbers up.

It's a bad system. I've never burned that many perks in a single day. lol.

Give it time to work, it seems to be doing what it's designed for.

To quote Stalin: "Quantity has a quality of it's own". You got numbers, we got perks. Fair enough.

Gotta love it. Yes, the old system ensured that the only real question was whether the Bishops or the Knights would reset the Rooks first, and we all know that the sidebalancing was a mess. But as soon as a fix which we discussed at length on the BB is implemented, the whine klaxxon goes nuts.

Sometimes, I marvel that HT hasn't ended up in a bell-tower with a high-powered rifle already. Dealing with such a selfish and unsatisfiable user community would drive most people slightly loopy by now. Why don't we just fold all most of the complaints into a general thread entitled "The game should permanently be tilted in my personal favor. Give me cheat keys and an F16 NOW!"

Sigh, sorry to flare up, I'm just profoundly disappointed at the wave of whining that followed the patch. These guys are trying hard to consistently improve the game, give 'em a break and try hard to make a few constructive suggestions once in a while.
