Black Perks

[Bio]

Hi.
I thought about the options to unlock extra perks when acing between aces 6-10 (when no new plane slot is given to the player)

The BLACK Perks.
"A" button used to active them (can be changed in the options)
Black Perks List-

1.Oil: Will increase the plane speed by 10%. Unlocked at ace 6.

2.Fake Smoke: Press the A button to active the fake smoke, which will make the plane smoking (like a damaged plane). Useful to attract planes and kill them. While the Fake Smoke is active he will
Consume energy (like a randa laser charge...) This Perk will be Unlocked at Ace 7

3.Ink: Press the A button to Active the ink, (at the same size of loopy acid cloud)
The Ink will consume energy as a regular plane shot but will Prevent the enemy from using his secondary weapon (like TA randa's teleport or loopy EMP etc) .The ink will be purple.
Unlocked At ace 8

4.Smoke Screen- Press the A button to active. The smoke screen will prevent the enemy from seeing
The plane type. The enemy will only see a grey Smoke so he won't be able to define if you are a
Loopy/bomber/whale/biplane/Miranda. As long as the Smoke Screen Power will be active he will
Consume energy. (Like randa's laser on charge).
This Perk will be Unlocked at Ace 9

5.Invisibility cloak: Press the A button to Active the invisibility cloak, which will make the plane
Invisible and undetectable (for loopy's tracker for example) for 1-2 seconds, but will consume all the
Plane energy.
This perk will be Unlocked at ace 10.


What do you guys think?
Got this combined idea from other players & friends and (and from myself, of course)


Thanks for reading,

I actually think that the perk ideas are some of the better ones I've heard. However the problem with high ace ranks is that it makes the whole game one massive grind, particularly in competitive play you'd be at a massive disadvantage if you hadn't invested time into grinding up the ranks. I currently have over 2.5 million lifetime EXP, but am still Ace 0 because I never bothered to reset.

Also a lot of these are very OP, fake smoke is a cool idea though.

[Bio]

btw, the fake smoke isnt my original idea...
other player suggested it in TBD srever chat but its a cool idea so i added it to my idea's list.

i know this perks can create disadventege but it'll encourage layers to ace up...

[Rayne Xerces]

Pretty good ideas. I totally think the first three perks will have some good utility. Not too sure of the last two. We need more ideas of this sort, and implement them. More so because a number of independent reviews of Altitude state a lack of features and customization.

[Bio]

my suggestion is only genral. you can add more ideas.

I think that the Oil,Fake smoke & Ink arent that over powered .
they can even get in the blue/green perks instead of having their on category

To me smoke and ink would work a lot better as red perks. Like loopy's secondary fire (emp) replaced with fake smoke or ink.

Heh i actually like the smoke idea. The clouds in hills and lost city provide tactical cover for sniping and spamming, i could see this acting like that.

[Bio]

classicallad- Should the SmokeScreen be Stationary or should he move with the player?

[Kafka]

Good ideas, but I feel an additional perk (and thus vastly revamped gameplay) is highly unlikely at this point. karlam have enough on their plate as is, what with all the heat about plane imbalances.

[Bio]

Any other opinions?
btw- if you can give an idea that can improver the main subject.

I do agree it maybe unbalancing but other ways- there is no reson to go from ace 5 to 10.

[classicallad]

Yeah kafka, im aware that new perks will probably not happen, Bio is new around here but if there WERE any additional powerups or perks, smokescreen sounds like it could work tactically.

Bio, i reckon that a size equal to an acid cloud with a little less transparency and 3 times the duration would work. Also i see it as a projectile like acid works.

Im not that new (i started playing on Xmas, now im ace 3)
but i thought about the fact that Aces 6-10 dont do anything

"size equal to an acid cloud with a little less transparency and 3 times the duration would work. Also i see it as a projectile like acid works."

thats one option. the other is like the cloud on "hill" map but smaller &Tracking the user& can be Active/Unactive. when active will consume X from the player enegy every Y seconds.

Anyone remember the original "Miranda"... From before Alti got all rewritten & 'polished'...?

It looked like an 'old' Star Trek D-class Romulan crusier...

And when you used the warp... It would actually disappear (or cloak) during the warp....

Those were the days...


(Anyone reading this that has no idea what I talking about...

Download the "old Altitude" from this post and give it a go.)

I love the fake smoke idea....

[Post775]

It's a very original idea, hopefully the admins take this into account.

[AlphaWolf]

This is such a great idea i hope someone notices it and makes this happen! Altitude has nothing new nowadays it would be great for these black perks to be used
