Universal perk points
« on: July 06, 2017, 02:23:37 PM »
I know that I've asked for this in the past but with the possibility of the game going on Steam I'd like to put this with up again.  I would like to see the three perk pools we currently have be eliminated and replaced with a single universal perk pool.

So you're ok with someone spawn camping in a gv to get enough perks for a 163 or a 262?

Why not?  If my normal day to day is fighters but I occasionally want to take a perk tank/bomber, why should I have to grind in the same type if I don't find that kind of gameplay compelling?  Grinding isn't nearly so bad if you actually enjoy the gameplay.

If someone cant earn enough perk points for a 262 by flying fighters hes not gonna be much of a threat once he does get his 262 via m3 driving....

The perk system favors those that get to play more than others.  I have quit a few plane perks since I am not a fan of a 262 I would invest them in Tigers and B29s.  That might cause a bit of an imbalance in GVs and bombers.

I like the idea but i don't see it making it to the game.

There would be some major adjustments necessary concerning the very differing rates perks are earned in the now different categories.

I asked about this awhile back and he responded that he couldn't recall why he had separated the perks in the first place.  Gave me a glimmer of hope so I am reminding him again about my wish.

-1 to universal perks. I agree with the current system of separating perk points to rewarding a player for disabling enemy assetts or enabling friendly assetts by means of fulfilling that respective role as a fighter, bomber, or vehicle operator.

Need better perked bombers to blow perkies on. AR234 has too small a bombload and the b29 needs half a map get to a reasonable altitude. Simply end up with more bomber perk points than anyone reasonably needs. Maybe use perks for larger formations? :bolt:

At least i can waste fighter perks by augering 262s and gv perks by getting my T2 spawn camped.
