I have noticed that in the Achievements section in the profile tab, there is an amount of medals that you can increase by completing achievements, is this going to be turned into something in the future or did I miss something and does it already have a function? Or is it merely for bragging rights?
Right now they do nothing, and I believe nothing is planned so far for them.
But a dev/mod would have to tell for certain.
Achievement points are just for e-peen. There really is no use for them, in any game.
At the moment there is no use for them, but this does not mean that this won’t change in the future.
Feel free to suggest something usefull.
Oh i got an idea! There should be a medal collector, it sounds strange but let me tell how it works.
When you get for example 5 different medals there is a button name ‘‘Send’’ when you click this button you get a small amount of money.
Maybe for 10 medals 20,000 credits and for 5 medals 10,000 credits.
If you get 3 medals that are very hard to get you may get 10 Gold Credits.
You can choose what medals do you want to send and what medals you want to keep.
I think there should be a choice how many medals do you want to send: 5 Medals = 10,000 credits 10 Medals = 20,000, 3 very rare medals = 10/5 Gold Credits.
That was my idea.
If a crafting system ever made its way into the game, I could see a very good use for them. You could use them as currency for buying crafting materials. And if you did add a crafting option, it could be connected to the different levels of loyalty in the faction tasks window. For example, different types of crafting materials available for each faction, based on the level of loyalty you hold with that faction.
how about medals boost faction bonus ?
The catch is, sometimes I get 4 medals for one kill. I drop a nuke and die. Some interceptor dies. I’ll get from the grave, pixel hunter, and maybe more. Mines can give an easy from the grave if you know where to place them. It can be just luck if it’s destroyed or damaged. If you meant to fire a missile instead, it’s a bad position.
he’s talking about achievement points (thats how they are called), not medals…
i would exchange them for GS, and make every achievement repeatable, each time you repeat you get AP which you can spend
simple
I would like to suggest that achievement points can be used to unlock unique titles, stickers, or ships; but they are not consumed. Instead, they merely act as a prerequisite much like reputation.
For example, let us suppose a unique ship is added to the game; the T3 Fox Elite, which has an engine mod slot, an extra passive slot, a longer duration to its special ability, and a slightly more aggressive design*. It still costs credits and requires a specific level of reputation, but in order to buy it I have to have earned 500 achievement points for it to be unlocked. *Examples are purely theoretical.
Or perhaps there is a unique Assassin sticker and title that I can apply to my ships if I have 700 achievement points.
Or maybe their is a special tiger-pattern paint scheme that I can unlock for all my Jericho ships if I have 800 achievement points.
The possibilities really are endless. Also, I am not stealing any of these ideas from Call of Duty. I promise. ;)wt
