A perk point switch system without time limit may be the answer. Award the difference in player count between the side a player is on and the outnumbered side he switches to. Charge the difference in player count between the side being switched from if a player is switching to a side with a numerical advantage.

you mean like a perk multiplier?  what a great idea.

Well, I meant a straight-up perk reward. It could be done to the tune of a .1 ratio.

You don't often get precisely what I mean but that's ok. :D

so you replace your .10 addition to the perks you get instead of the perk multiplier that we have now.  mmm.... which gives you more perks? oh yeah the perk multiplier.

as some wise guy once said, "what you ask for is not really what you want".

Then go back to the straight number and quit looking for a reason to whine away this option.  It's instant gratification. No kills even needed. HT wanted a method to promote balance. This does it and quite possibly will occasionally dissuade 'spy' switching.

'Costing 80 perks to switch? Aw, man!'  ;)

Why don't we get rid of the switch limit altogether and bind perks to the country instead?

One or 2 hours isn't enough time, but I'd like to see 3-4 hours maximum. Perhaps leaving it at 12 hours unless you are switching to the side with the fewest players

I could see 6 hours, but not 2.
It was 1 before, why not?

Del, that is a great idea.

what is wrong with the idea, that

A-it costs some perks...
B-not allowed to equip bombs for an hr after switch
C-no coms for an hr after switch

all of them...

 a combination of them....


for me I don't car about "balancing sides" I don't care about the "war"

I just want to fight red guys.....

err...... I just want to Kill red guys.... that is...

I don't want to have to fight green guys.....while killing red guys.




and I damn well know I am not the only one to fly like this.

Howabout "progressive" switching ?
First switch - 1 hour duration.
Second switch - 2 hour duration.
Third switch - 4 hour duration.
Fourth switch - 8 hour duration.

just a thought

I really like the idea of having the option to pay 100 perks to switch up to once per hour

yea just think of it as a spy tax.    :D

once a year each country re-distributes the spy tax to all players that haven't switched in that calendar year.
