Title: Giving Perkies
Post by: JDOD on August 21, 2010, 03:41:14 PM
What if we can give a squad member or a friend some perk points? If you give them the perks and they die, well thats your fault.

This one has been brought up before. The answer is usually a lot of yesses by the ones who see the surface and a lot of no's by those who think a little deeper in it. Think. One squaddie has umpteen thousand perkies and never uses them, is it a good idea to waste them all on squaddies?

"Hey buddy, can I borrow a souple hundred perks or so?"

"I WOULD join that jet mish, but I don't have the perks."

Not very good idea. I'll try to find the thread somewhere.

HiTech has said he doesn't want a "perk economy", in which I could make money selling perk points to you over paypal or sumthin, and I would spend all day with like-minded individuals in Mid or Early war just farming perkies.

I can see it now.

A guy with 7 kills and no ammo heading back to land his kills.

Suddenly a high Tempest appears and starts his dive.

7 kill boi can be seen typing furiously on 200:  Tempest in sector ### don't shoot me down, I'll give ya 100 perkies!!

Then the inevitable reply comes: make it 500 and ya got a deal!!

(Tempy drivers are notoriously greedy)

It could also conceivably turn the MAs into gambling dens. :devil

Jeep races for perks etc.

Actually sounds like a pretty good idea!! :aok

this isn't a good example, it more like

'we'll give you 600 fighter perks if you join the squad'
they join the squad recieve their bounty and leave straight away

I can easily see this happening. Tank gunnery contests, jeep races, fighter races. Hell, whack a mole using jeeps and M8's.

 Ive always thought it would be a great perk of being in a squad, if a squad creates a mission, with perk planes (excluding the most expensive ones 262 ,Tempest for starters) that the perks wouldnt be spent from a death. Non squad missions would be normal perk burners.

I want to be able to sell my perks for cash!  I could make tons of money selling off all of my perks for $100 per 1000 perks and not to mention all the new Chinese players we'd be getting.  Win-win!

lol bagrat, surely you have more than that. Or blow them on 262's as soon as you have the perks and there is a cap in need of breaking (like I do).

Braggin' a little bit, but I've got a 21K worth of bomber perks stashed after six years of being a bomber nut. Need to use the Arado more often, I think.

Would be freakin hillarious to see someone hold an enemy Bish for ransom.

I DEMAND 200 FIGHTER PERKS!! OR ELSE THE KITTY GETS IT!!!

lol i do try to fly 262's when i have the perks, unfortunately i always seem to get disco'd in em....conspiracy i think not :noid

I always get discoed, or run into a group of people hell bent on HO'ing me. Very disapointing when none of them break, instead turning 3K out to possition their nose for D1000 HO.

thank god it takes some skill and intelligence to farm perks in this game, instead of just writing a program to do it, ruins almost every game

Well, i like to fly the 262s..... But its also fun to shoot them down too  :lol

 Maybe you need to find a plane that you get a lot of perks points when you shoot down the enemy. :salute

Post by: Soulyss on August 24, 2010, 10:24:57 AM
Another well intentioned idea that unfortunately would cause more problems than anything else.  It's even something that I've wished for in the past, since I almost never use the perk points myself, and literally have years and years of fighter perks stashed away.
Title: Re: Giving Perkies
Post by: Dr_Death8 on August 24, 2010, 12:04:07 PM
Another version that could be looked at is having squad "perk points" that are assigned to a squad as a whole. This way when a squad runs a mission, and say they want to do a fighter sweep in 262, the CO can load the mission and populate it using the squad perks.  :salute
Title: Re: Giving Perkies
Post by: ImADot on August 24, 2010, 12:46:13 PM
Or at the very least limit giving perks to squad members.  How can that be bad?

Because it's a well intentioned idea that would get abused no matter how you try to limit it.


A little time an imagination could see what kind of drama that could cause.  Someone has a falling out with the squad CO, logs in during off hours and runs 20 262's into the side of a hill then withdraws from the squad.  Someone joins a squad to fly some jets then withdraws after he's lost a few, now you have people from the squad running to HTC asking for their perkies back or retribution towards the offending party.

Throw in gangbanging/picking and you described how you fly to a "T".

I'm not talking about a squad-wide perk pool.  Just the ability for one squad member to give some perks to another squad member.  Let's say I've got 3,000 fighter perkies and my squaddie only has 100.  We'd like to have some fun flying a fighter sweep in 262's, so I give him a couple hundred on my perks so he can afford a ride.

Hmm... except i don't ganbang unless its a furball (pretty much the only thing going on in one of those), I don't pick unless someone has asked for help or given me the OK to come lend a hand. And I don't ho.


Ack-Ack, your animosity towards me can grow very annoying. Your a cartoon pilot flying a cartoon P-38. Get over yourself.

Oh man, the B.S is so thick I have to wear waders.  Though I do have to admit it was really funny smacking you down last night while you tried to make a 2v1 a 3v1, even funnier when you tried to set up for a HO merge.  Couldn't stop laughing after you and those two others died.

I just find it very humerous that you describe how you fight in your posts are a complete contradiction to how you really fly in the MA.  You do nothing but pick, gang and HO and don't say that you don't because that's all you were trying to do when you were poorly flying a Bf 109E and later a P-40B.
