Title: Perk points to switch countrys?
Post by: pervert on July 23, 2011, 08:14:01 AM
I dunno I'm just throwing this out here as an idea, personally I don't really fly perk planes to often maybe get rid of them all in a few splurges on 262s, I know most of the guys who switch looking for a fight also do not really fly perked planes, for whatever reason people in the game place a strange value on them. Obviously there are guys are out there that know the ins and outs better than me regards perks and could explain the pros and cons of such a system?

Basically a set time to switch 45 mins to 1 hour were you absolutely cannot switch regardless of perks, after that if you switch within the 12 hour limit you have to have the perks to do it (I have no idea what would be a reasonable amount), after the 12 hour limit you switch perk free. Maybe its crazy tell me what you think.  :salute

Well, another approach might be to reward players who switch to the lower side a few perkies to encourage switching that evens the sides out.  If you cant switch but every 12 hours it isn't like you could make a perkie point haul, but just a little something.

I prefer the carrot to the stick.  Reward positive behavior that improves gameplay instead of penalizing negative effect gameplay.

You mean those that see one side is overwhelmed and set their timer for 12 hours then switch?  :x

how many of those who switch are the ones who make the game 1 sided.  then you want to reward them to switch to the low number that now will be the one with high numbers?  talking about a bad idea.

switching to look for a fight is just saying I am too lazy to start one.   i log in every night and there's always a good fight somewhere on my side of the map. I must be the exception.

The exception to the 12 hour rule should be that you have unlimited switches to the low numbered side.

Or your idea of a fight leaves much to be desired. I will say it again-----------------------> cherryfesting the edge of an enemy base with all the advantages is not much of a fight IMHO  :aok
 
Perching above a furball in a pony picking scalps at 400 mph also lacks "fight"

Obviously the game is heading more towards your style of "fight" :huh not suprised that you are happy with the change!  good for you  :salute


Just saying

What exactly are you trying to say?  "How many of those who switch are the ones who make the game 1 sided"  ?  When I switch, it is normally to the lower number team so I can up into the horde of skilless bananas and ruin their fun "fight".

Your idea of a "good fight" and what a good fight is...are two different things.  You talking about a fight is kinda like a football player telling the rocket scientist at NASA, how to do his job.  Just no buisness happening.

Sorry, people try to make perk points the currency of Aces High, but I don't think that's what it's for.  Perks should stay the way they are, you shouldn't be able to trade perks, shouldn't be able to pay perks to get upgrades, etc. etc.

so you are a rocket scientist who can tell everybody here what a good fight is or isnt?  a good fight for me is when I have fun, win or lose, get a kill or not.  so sorry if my idea of a good fight is different that yours.

having said that, now you can go to your launch control mission.  there's new shuttles being made, make sure everything is ready. sorry i wasted your precious time.

now what you fail to realize is this:   most people who switch do not do it to help the low side, some do, most dont.  they only switch when they see a country hording.  that is pure and simple.  I am not saying that some people do like to switch if another country is low on numbers.

So your belief is that most folks are so bent on points and being on the 'winning' team that they switch just for that?

Only a horder would interpret switching in such a way. This is a classic case of removing the beam in your eye before you try to remove the splinter in your brother's.

I'd be in favor of this if I could pay perks for someone else to go to another country. :D

i can't prove that.   i know that I like to switch to low numbers sides, but i can't prove that anyone else does, no more than you can prove that people switch en masse to the high numbers side just to horde.      and how does "12 hour wait" prove anything you said?
