Title: popularity achievement
Post by: caldera on October 10, 2014, 09:12:07 PM
It would be nice to have assists/death included into the fighter score, but doubt that will ever happen.

Instead, how about an achievement(s) in the fighter category for how many assists are generated at your expense? 
This could encourage people to be more aggressive and fly into red globs instead of green ones.  In theory, anyway.


I - 100 assists against you -   "Yippe Ki Yay"
II - 500 assists against you -  "It's Merely a Flesh Wound"
III - 1000 assists against you -  "Ain't Got Time to Bleed"
IV - 2500 assists against you -  "This is Intolerable!"
V - 5000 assists against you -  "Dr. Kevorkian"

I like it!

It should be fairly comical how fast P38 pilots acquire this achievement.

True....but the Pony B and C202 pilots will climb that hill even faster.  :)

Just to be clear, the achievement is basically how often you get ganged (how many players it takes to kill you), not assists that you get with bb guns.

Planes that everyone drops what they're doing for, like: B-239, 110, Mossie, P-38, P-39 and P-40 will rack up this achievement with a decent pilot.



That's why I would really like it as part of the fighter score.  A high rank would require a high assists(against you)/death ratio, same as the other categories.  To do that, you would have to fly into harms way more often.  That would put the late war monster/vulcher types at a disadvantage in scoring, forcing them to mix it up to keep a high rank.  You wouldn't need to die more, but if it only regularly takes 1 plane to kill you, you probably don't deserve a high rank.

This request was already put in the wish list, to a very tepid response, but Shirley it can be an achievement.  :banana:

Ahhh...my bad.  As a fan of the 110, I fully support this idea.   :aok

Of course it should be an achievement....and don't call me Shirley.   :D

The only problem I see with this is that anyone going for it has an incentive to die, since if he gets hit by five different players and lands then it does not count. If the game was able to tot up how many players hit you in a sortie irrespective of whether you lived or died, that would be better.

Exactly, lived or died shouldnt matter much, time spent in a sea of red is what matters.  This being implemented in scores might change the habbits of those who actually pay attention.  If you ride in a plane of a guy that cares about score, it is typically boring.  A pilot of equal value flying without a care of score is usually a lot more fun, getting into a situation a score player normally wont, usually ending up in a ton of fun at lower speed and alt,  with a lot more ACM and turning. :cheers:
