perk combos

[elxir]

I was wondering if you ever considered giving bonuses for using certain perk combinations together. I feel as if this could increase the use of some really fun, but not quite "up to speed" perk combos.

You could add a fourth "perk" box, detailing what, if any, bonuses are active in your current setup.

Example: flexible wings + reverse thrust = Stabilizers: reduce wall damage by x%, reduce/increase whatever by x%

Example: ace instincts + time anchor = Phantom: decrease anchor cooldown by x%

The purpose of this would be, principally, to give real life to some of the less intuitive combinations. I understand that it may be intentional that some setups are much more difficult to use than others, but frankly, there are a few that are just useless. I find that unfortunate because they are the ones that tend to evoke the most joy and unique play.

Ace Instincts+Trickster= Godmode: Kill the entire enemy team when you get gold bars.

[MoxyCrimefighter]

Turbocharger+Tracker= Deathmode: Get killed by the enemy team whether you have gold bars or not.

Two extremely funny replies to start off the thread >_>

so funny.

[classicallad]

Remote + Turbo flexplodet = StompMode!

[leggomyeggo]

Thermo: warlord mode=Be able to kill anyone with one shot, oh wait .

In all srsness though, it would be nice, but maybe an excuse for newer players to use rubber or reverse or things like that >.>

Probably better just to buff rubber/rev/ace etc.

I don't see how rev and ace could get buffed

Rev:
-zero energy cost (energy regen while rev'ing)
-insta-stall mechanism for faster rev initiation
-remove the effect that the bomb/ball has on reverse thrust

Ace:
-more percentage bonus per bar
-xp needed per bar lowered to 6

Though I think Ace is fine as it is, and if it were to be buffed, it should be disabled for Sinstar's account and any other accounts he plays on :<

I think buffing individual perks is a bad suggestion. Each perk is reasonable right now, there are no unplayable perks.

The issue is that some perk combos are not viable and that is a darn shame.

Although in 98% of competitive play only turbocharger is used.


Make it so some combination makes emp less effective. <3<3<3

I told you I did not have sexual relations with that perk.

I agree with banana that turbo is overused. What happened to all the ultracaps? O_o

Ultracap also needs a buff so that it can hold more energy imo.

[elxir]

ultracap is fine, most randas use it, and the best biplanes use it..

Ultracap And Rubber

Stretchy Lithium: When you die you have a small explosion.

Rev + rubber: bouncy mode

Srs: this could actually be useful for some combo's that are now totally useless. I'm thinking ultracap explodets, reverse bombers (they are so damn heavy/useless/fun to play), ultracap loopy (they're always worse than ultracap, dunno how you would bonus these tho), ace instincs + rubber.

You name it, many combinations are useless and could be fun.

You could also make it optional for a server to check these, so you could have servers full of super bouncy, triple mining explodets and quadruple loopy trackering goodness.

Instincts are fine. You don't need to mess with that.

Everything sucks in combination with rubber.

"That means u should buff rubber!"

No rubber will always suck and they already got a cure for HIV. Bonusses are more fun.
