When a map times out after 7 days, players online from the country with the best score get awarded war win perks.
-
Usually those with a better score don't have a problem getting perks.
-
You are right but having maps auto reset set up @7 days combined with low # and large maps is the 2 nd worst think that could happen to this game after arena split .
Simply boring . Auto reset after 24 to max 36 hours would be great refresh the gaming;

Start flying some high ENY planes and you'll earn more perks than you could win once a week when the map resets.

Think about it.
Incentive to earn perks could up the arena participation and energy level when a map is about to time out.
The arena up time is displayed in Country Status on clipboard.
Keep the same basic rules for awarding points except modify for this wish.

Do people bother to look at that other than to say "thank god this map is almost out of here!"?
We seem to have a lot of tower sitters now, imagine if this was added.
-
GHI's suggestion of changing maps more often could remedy the "thank god this map is almost over" issue.
Why do you loudmouth opinionated self-appointed wish crushers have to try to crush any wish you don't agree with? Do you think yelling louder than someone else will make anyone listen more to what you have to say?

Im sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings and poo-poo your idea.
I have always thought the earning of perks is just that, you EARN them. Just being on line at the right time isn't how you should get them. I'm a firm believer that if someone learns to earn their perks they will both play the game longer and be a better player, which is better for the game AND the community.
Those that post here pointing out the negatives of peoples wishes aren't just doing it to pee in your cheerios. They do it to point out issues the poster may not have thought about. To you free perks is a great idea and has some up sides. To many others they see all the tower sitter, ENY issues, and giving away of something that should be earned. Whats the point of dangling a "reward" in front of those willing to earn the perks if your just going to give them away?

You didn't and can't hurt my feelings. I wish you the best in all you do.

Haven't we beat the tower sitter thing senseless already? It's not going to change in the current environment.
This IS about incentive, increasing participation, and earning something. If players are battling up the to last minute of arena up time for some kind of reward, that could be fun.

OK, plead your case, how is awarding perks at a map reset going to drive participation..... other than sitting in the tower?
If those in the tower earn the same perks as those "fighting" for them at a reset, whats the point? I'm all for anything that will bring more people, more fights to the game, but explain how this will. Not trying to be an donut here, just trying to see it from your side.

I can see where this is coming from...with all the to and fro'in of base takes the final war effort is in the sides combined effort not how many bases you have etc...this means that at the end of week (reset) a team could have less bases but throughout the time accumulated more damage and overall combined points.... this could help by getting more fights started as some of the bombing runs of late ultimately don't add up to much by themselves...especially when they bail after dropping.... It will however open many channels of whine because unless you are a good stats follower like the snail it will be all a little confusing for the average player.... mind you, many of the average players don't care either way as long as there is something to shoot at...
I don't think this wish is from a player wanting/ needing perks...more a new game dynamic possibility... might work but there would need to be a counter of some sort implemented to show the progress which would then make for mass migration when it is noted that their side won't get the points...for that it would need to be calculated and awarded to those who have been on the side for the entire week / reset period. which will then again cause a whole heap of crying..... there could be potential....but all would need to be ready for the reaction.

If anything, the side with the most bases at the time of the forced reset should get the perks.

Or the most Bacon. :D

I don't care about the perks. Just have an AH page that list the winner or near winner of the last map.
Might end some of the tower sitting if no perks were involved. Might not.

I remember back when I was still a squeaker (good 8 years ago), we had the 1 hour rule. When the side who was obviously winning the war came to their last or second to last base, many would switch over to get those 75 (25x3) perks. At the time I lacked the 'skillz' to get perks for the most part, thus I got good in the land guns since I didn't have a stick for my first year of flying, and mouse/keyboard flying was very bad at best. Fast forward a few years later, and I look back on it. I agree, I think perks are earned, and taking advantage of others 'working' for it and you getting the same reward as them, I think is wrong. Perks really aren't hard to earn if you know how to play. The key is though, some do and some don't, and some don't have the time to 'master' a plane, while others do.

And it didn't work, because you still had to be on that side for at least 12h before qualifying for war perks ;)
