A better challenge system?

[Demuyt]

Let's look at the Alty challenge system as it is right now: all we have is kill markings and multikill challenges for each plane. How about making a better challenge system for Altitude? The Ace ranks last year were a success, and I believe this would also be a nice feature to implement.
When I play online games I always try to achieve all challenges and ranks. Call of Duty's Infinity Ward owes me weeks of my life for all the time I spent trying to get all challenges completed. I think without all those challenges I would have got bored and I would have left the game earlier. If Altitude had this I think a lot of players that go inactive after a short playing time would be still playing! It would make Altitude even more addictive.

How about...

-New challenges like the following:

Star Player - be MVP of 10 matches.
Striker - score more than 4 goals on a ball game.
Demolition - Get the 'Demolition Expert' award 10 times.
Helpful - Assist 20 times or more in a match.

We could have such challenges for things to achieve during the whole match or just in one life.

-Rewards, pins, badges:

Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinium stars awarded for each plane according to the number of kills.
Badges that get unlocked by completing challenges like the ones in the first list and that get rewarded with XP points.
Other types of rewards that do not yet exist in the game, like titles for player cards or emblems. Maybe skins?

The two first would not affect gameplay.

Thoughts?

Needs to be much more difficult, because I can play 10 pub games and get demo expert in all of them if I try.

But yeah, the basic idea is good.

Dem this is a rlly good idea.and i see all is from mw2 :P?+1

IMO there should be some achievements that would requier some dedication to the game. Most of the current achievements are very easy to get if you know how to fly your plane. Compare to, lets say, Team Fortress 2. Getting 1 million points worth of damage with pyro is insane. But it's something that you need to play for, thus extending the life span of the game for some achievement whores.

Something of similar scale could be used here: around 10 000 or 100 000 kills with any/all planes combined isn't doable in a day or two.

Adding too easy achievements is kinda lame. I'm not saying that the suggested ones would be bad, just saying that you could add harder versions of those aswell. Including the current ones.

"10 kill multikill" or "20 kill streak", anyone?

Kill streaks would encourage whoring.

What about win 3 ladder games in a row, win 5 ladder games in a row, win 10 ladder games in a row, that last one would keep me going a while.. I like some of you ideas though.

Would be nice but ladder isn't directly linked to the game, I think it just appears as a server to the game.

What about accuracy rewards?

It might be difficult to determine for every plane since some planes are mostly used for spamming.
But imo for planes like randas and biplanes it would be very rewarding if you could get around 80% 90% or even 100% accuracy and get some stats/award/status for it.

"Death From Above - Killed sinstar 100 times with dumb bombs."

That'd be a fun challenge.

I am all for the badges per kill with each plane

Bronze - 10,000 kills
Silver - 25,000 kills
Gold - 50,000 kills
Platinum - 100,000 kills

how about challenges like sniplane pro I and up where you master a certain setup
i would like to see demo pro I with tracker-rubber-turbo

[rotflolocopter]

I like this a lot. Gathering stats across matches would be the first step to track players' performance. It has all been invented by the NBA boffins before, I suspect :)

Once achieved, you could get a different skin (i.e. one with a small bronze star on for bronze) for the plane.

I want a solid gold miranda or a silver whale. Ohhhh

[Boko]

You should be able to get titles:
100.000 kills with heavy cannon biplane could be General Lagmaster

Any reason you're associating a perk with lag?

no skins, just a badge in ur hangar deck
