Title: Where have all the perk points gone?
Post by: CMC Airboss on March 19, 2003, 01:45:17 PM

I contemplated posting this in the bugs forum but I'm not sure if this can be characterized as a bug (or even a whine - consider it an observation).   This situation happened when I was not flying.

At the end of the week of March 14th, I was particularly keen on seeing my fighter perk-point score nearly reach 2000 for the first time.  Score was approx 1987'ish.   Just two or three more flights would enable me to reach that milestone.  

After several days of inactivity (i.e. not flying), I flew a single perk point ride (Tempest, with an RTB) on Monday, March 17th and found nearly 800 perk points missing after landing.  The previous perk ride was a flight (rtb'd) in an Me163 mid March.  I haven't lost a perk ride since January.  

Is anyone else experiencing huge losses in perk points without losing any perked airplanes?  Is there any way to lose perk points when not flying at all?  Arena resets?  Very strange.

have you got any younger brothers? :D

if so Id do the only reasonable and legal action open to the older brother in these and similar situations.
Yes sit on his chest punching him and filling his mouth with grass and mud :D

Once he finally stops whining how innocent he is tell him never to dare enter the same rooms you use :). Dont worry this is perfectly normal and justifyable big brov behaviour.It is your duty to punish your brother, innocent or guilty.

Go on, you know its his fault!! ;)

if that's the case check your stats and see how many perk rides you've lost in that period of time.

if it is your little brother.......REVENGE :D

Looking at the stats, for the entire year of 2003 I've lost five perk rides:  (3) F4U-1C's and (2) Tigers.  All of those were lost in January, nearly two months before the recent loss in perk points occurred.  At face value, with no arena-balance modifiers, thats less than 20% of the missing points.

So... if there was someone else using my account, they haven't lost any perk rides in 60 days.  And no perk rides were flown during the time that the points were lost.   Again, I restate that the points were lost during a time when no flights occured.

MiG, according to the stats page you've lost f4uc, f4u-4, 262 this month, unless you lost them just today.

I am trying to get my wife interested - making very slow progress so far... She keeps wanting to barf every time we roll the plane
