Perks and scores reset each tour
« on: September 30, 2008, 10:52:23 AM »
I'm going to ask for it again, since Kev brought it to my attention.

Thats actually part of the 'problem'.
Many of us old vets have perkies to burn.
Maybe an idea that perks reset each tour, as well as scores. Grabbing the umbrella!!!!!

Bad idea because the noobs that have saved for MONTHS just to fly their first 262 would give up.
If you like the Sick Puppy Custom Sound Pack the please consider contributing for future updates by sending a months dues to Hitech Creations for account "Chalenge." Every little bit helps.

Frankly this only helps those players of this game which have no lives.

I barely get to fly 2-3 hours a week in the MAs. I've just recently used the new name change feature and lost my thousands of perks accrued from past years.

However I still don't have enough for a 262 after a couple of weeks playing.

So I say "no" to wiping perks unless you get a baseline allowance every time. I (and MANY others with busy lives) just don't have the time to rake them in like I used to.

Unfortunately with the frame rate I have in the MAs I'm lucky to get 10 perks a tour, so I wouldn't like this.

Removing perks is not going to improve the game play, quit deluding yourselves into thinking it will.

I wouldnt mind a complete reset of perks.

Fewer "l337" planes would be used because more people would be flying the higher ENY planes to earn more perk points.

May I suggest that everyone gets X amount of points to play with at the start of each tour to help boost their chance of being able to use that perk plane they've always wanted to play with (X = 100?).  Also, on that note, it would be nice to have some type of sliding bonus feature for those who play little vs those who pay a lot.  Those who pay their $15 a month but are only allowed 10 hours a month should be able to earn a higher % on perk points than those who play hundreds of hours a month.  Dont ask me to give an example of a formula, I just suggested the idea.  :)

Didn't consider that. I do agree with you there, though.

Good point.

Cap perks at 1000 then.
