Stars
« on: September 05, 2017, 11:40:05 AM »
I've never really asked.. What exactly do the stars in names mean? Like, when a name has 1 star, or 4 stars. Always wondered.
Thanks! <S>

I have to know how many you have before I can discuss this with you.  :D  Seriously though its a measurement of achievements that you have in game.

The stars are the result of having completed a certain number of achievements. Bring up you clipboard and clikc on "Achievements" and then on "Reputation".
There you can also disable the stars for roster and chat, which I do very much recommend (Roster sorting includes stars when enabled, which sucks).

**= 3000
***=10000
****=15000 (I think)

  There are many historical Achievements you can earn. Matching the kills of WW2 aces. (although they didn't die multiple times to get there.)  :eek:
 Also some fun ones like getting 3 seconds of air in a Jeep. (harder than it sounds)

 Dropping bombs and fuel tanks, ect.

 I've learned of some pilot's names I've never heard of, Enjoy!  :x

I still learn something new everyday here!  Thanks, I also find it annoying that you basically get 3 different lists, and will now change it.

I find the stars really annoying actually.  I'd like to search the roster alphabetically, and it does, but it groups names by stars.  Annoying and who cares.

I remember many nights on different maps looking for the right spot to achieve that one.

Take a Jeep, drive up a steep mountain, find a downhill slope to a cliff because you will need lots of speed, off you go.
