Title: Perk Points
Post by: hgtonyvi on February 18, 2015, 11:50:45 AM
HTC It would be great to add a option in the new update where you can donate or give perk points to a squad mate only. Only squad mates will be able to receive perks, not regular country players. :cool: :cool:

-1 because it is too easy to game and I would not want perk points to be exchanged as a commodity for favors or actual money.


To beat the "squad only" exchange of perks points you would simply invite to squad, exchange points, leave squad.

Perk points are an award for personal achievement. They may seem like cash because you can lose them. Think of it as an award that let's you fly better aircraft but if you screw up the flight you have to go back to your regular ride. While cash can be exchanged between pilots, awards or performance based privileges are exclusive to the person who earned them.

Just like pilots played cards for their medals and other decorations which they then wore on their uniforms.  :rolleyes:

So no.  :D

I had over 18000 perks when I cancelled my account in 2004.  I hated wasting them but the only perk plane I cared anything about at the time was the F4U-1C.  I would have loved the option to donate them to either of my squad mates; Lazs, Drex, or Levi.  I lobbied for Skuzzy to give them back when I returned but he would have nothing of it.

If only those three players you mentioned were good enough to earn their own perks.  :cry

I do not think that perk trading is a good thing for AH.

A safer way to allow you to buy a perk ride for a friend is (and this has been suggested in the past) to allow a mission creator to pay the perk cost of perked rides in the mission from his own stash. So, for example I can invite players to a Mossie XVI raid and pay for their perked rides. I wouldn't mind spending my 14000 perks on an epic 262 raid to strafe down the enemy HQ.

If your squadmate needs perks tell them to fly the F4U-1, problem solved.  :aok

For someone who has the time you do to play, I can see why you think that.  Folks like me who typically get 20 hours a month vs. your 80 hours, perks are a little harder to come by. 

Way too many 262s in the game now.
and most are flown with little effect, I worry more about a Lala, than a deuce.  There are only about 10 people in the game that really know how to fly them, and they have the perks to keep flying them.

What's wrong with giving your hard earned perks to another player?

Creates an economy and opens the door to people buying perks with real money, which brings people in to farm perks to make money, which would likely result in even more crappy gameplay in the arenas.

What kind of moron would buy perks?! We all already pay 15$ a month.

The kind of moron that wants them quickly either out of laziness, lack of skill, lack of time to play, or "lack of time to play".  I get why people would want the ability, I just don't think the downside is worth it.

scca I dont even 1/2 the skill you do and I dont think i play 20 hours a month and yet I have thousands of perks.  the problem is how you spend them.

Just as a reminder, the average AH pilot earns perks at a scale of about 2-5 perks per hour and does 8-15 hours in fighters per tour.

At this rate, I guess the ability to buy perks would loke quite attractive to a lot of people.

I think in a situation where a player is canceling an account, it would be reasonable for them to have the option of donating their perks to another player, or even distributed to their squad mates.  I really don't have advocacy for some system to buy/sell perks

The buying and selling would be unseen, in the form of private messages, ie: "psst, hey buddy, you need any perks?  you can have 500 perks for $10."

Some people will always look for shortcuts.  Players rack up perks and achievements in EW/MW arenas (by killing squaddies or other "shady" characters) and use those perks to fly perk planes in Late War.  If they can score a ton of perks the easy way, you can be sure it will happen.

Another worst case scenario to imagine: a handful of leet players from the past come back for a week of clubbing seals.  You invite them into your squad with a generous perk bouquet.  Then you have a whole squad of 262s running amok, until they get bored and quit again.  Meantime the great unwashed masses (regular paying customers) are kind of pissed off.

I agree with you on the point you make that players will find a way to abuse it.

He said I had skill  :rofl :lol  :P

I have been known to auger a 262 (or two, or three), and I have changed my name twice since I started the game (flush the perks).  I still only have about 700 fighter perks, as I do spend them on occasion (often after "iced beverage induced" Deuce runs.)   :bhead
