It feels weird that there's only 6 perk levels. I've seen some modded perk lvls in servers where gold perks builds up to 5 stars an then goes to green color perk emblem, silver and purple. Why wouldn't they implement that to vanilla KF? Maybe I can't see the imbalance... :/
More perk levels?

Because a) the difference between a L1 and L6 is already astronomical. If they added a L15, they would so far outshine the lower players it'd be pointless playing together.
and b) because when they added L6, they needed to add a new difficulty mode to still keep things challenging for the top-end players. If they brought out a load of new perk levels with new advantages, even HoE would become too easy.
and c) because only 1.7% of players have got Mr Perky. If you add in more levels, the percentage of players it would actually affect would be miniscule.

I'm fine with more colors, you just can't go beyond level 6 bonuses. I see nothing wrong with a prestige sort of thing.
If you continue to scale the requirements linearly, this is how it would end up working.
As I said, more colors / stars is fine, you just cant change the bonuses. If you want higher levels and bonuses, then you need to host your own sperks / scrn server.

I think it would be spiffy to have some prestige levels added into the mix, and I agree the bonuses should stop at level 6 - anything beyond would just completely throw balance for the game out the window.
Prestige sounds pretty good. Spiffy Perk emblems would show that you're a badass zombie fighting veteran. But I think it would be harder to get prestige. Maybe continue the headshot requirement or some challenges that apply to the class... I kind of have a challenge for sharpshooter prestige in mind: Whole Wave/Mach with headshots only on Begginer/Normal/Hard/Suicidal/Hell on Earth... 
Just in general. I was all for additional perk prestige levels for the people who continually play the game to show off (since there are no additional benefits.) However whitelisting of maps is now gone so people can simply cheat to their way to the prestige levels just like they cheat to level 6.
I was talking about it's usefulness for people you know (who don't cheat on grind maps). I mean, there's always going to be people who cheat when they can, no matter what you do. Honestly, I think it would be fun to have prestige levels, but they'd only really be "useful" for people I know. Plus it even helps to differentiate more of the lvl 6/prestige nubs.
I wouldn't even have a lvl 7 supp though, because of welding. =D
^This, I dont even enjoy farming since its so BORING! I rather do it with reason.
Those servers are the most boringest elitist things ever.
I see no point in joining a server with lvl30s when i myself will only be lvl0 while everyone else just kills everything with 1 hit using stupidly OP broken weapons, sitting behind turrets and gangbanging patirarch when he shows up.
I think the only way this would work is as a 'prestige' system, otherwise the perks would have to be completely rebalanced.
Medic also becomes completely invulnerable while wearing armor. I really can't see bonuses beyond 6 being a good idea.
Pff. Its about the social experience, the shootan is secondary. But yes, >6 perk levels wouldn't ever work out properly in vanilla KF due to player amount limitation.
yeah that's sad. most of servers start with 1, and have very high levels. that's bad and boring 2 play
