KF Is there ever going to be a Level 7?

[Deathgrip22]

Noticed that the grey progress bar on my Commando had been going up, even though there was no objective in sight.

First thought it maybe was just some sort of bug, and didn't worry about it.
Read on the Forums through Search that apparently filling it is equivalent to doing Level 6 again, that is, the points required to fill are double that of the Level 6 requirement.

I'm just wondering here, is there anything to that, other than making it just a personal goal? Can you change your "Gold" perk Icon "Platinum" or something like that?

Not asking for a Level 7 Cap Increase, but It would be nice that if you got Gold for Level 6 and Platinum for "Level 6 Full"

Anyone else like something like that? Or is something like that already implemented and I'm just way behind on the curve?

*edit: should have named the title of the thread something else. o well.

I wouldn't expect any manor official updates for KF1.
But there is ServerPerks, where you can level up to level 30 ^^

When you fill up the grey bar though, does it stay filled up or does it reset each time it gets full?

Trying to decide if I make it a goal to get that done or not

Technically, you can go up to level 254.

To answer your question though, you'll need to edit how the perks progression works and force a new icon onto the perk with full progression. There is no system right now that does what you want but why not add a new level with a new colour or so? That's what I did.

Example of my perks:

Levels 0 - 5 = Bronze
Levels 6 - 9 = Silver
Levels 10 - 12 = Gold
Level 13 = Elite (final)

It's how you want it to work that counts.

thx flux, but i have no idea what mod your referencing, and i don't own a server for KF1, so i wouldn't be able to implement it anyway, unless your referring to some client side change, which would be cool

can you tell me what you mean by "thats what I did" and how you did it?

i also see your a hosting service, you do southern Ontario? (canuck here)

I don't think Tripwire would add major updates to the game just because some people like to grind their perks (and think they're underpowered at higher difficulties secretly, as they don't look into the mechanics), and while KF2 is on its way.

And altogether, adding more perk levels into the game won't let players scale on a "pr0 scale" in pub games. There'll be; power leveling newbies, lowbies, clueless zerks who think game is easy, constant streamin' framerate spazzin' firebads, all day, everyday.

I don't know if would be a REALLY major update to the game to change the "gold" level 6 class icon to a "platinum" level 6 icon when the bar is full

Well I use ServerPerks but not the normal, a customised version since it's version 4 release. I just made addition checks for more levels and used custom code to make them work to how I wanted it.

P.S. For now, we aren't going to be hosting in the USA till we get more funds. We're doing a big overhaul right now that has taken around two months (both website and game servers). If you want to talk more on the server stuff, contact me personally through Steam or forum PM as it's off topic

Personally, this is a bad idea. If you're going to make a single level gold and once that is done, make that platnium, you may aswel add more levels overall. It's not really worth it these days as I would say around 70-80% of the servers are now customised with custom levels (ServerPerks).
