Never played the original, but the merit system looked great, I would love for it to return!

[ChipMHazard]

Neat.

[OCNSethy]

Awww... looks pretty.

I love the fluffy stuff :)

[Dreadnaut]

Looks pretty spiffy

Won't be visible on composite armour.
From the looks of it, may not be on armour period.

Yea your probly right but I remember the old Merit system and glad it made it back! ;)
Looks good so far thanks! :thumbsup:

That would be my guess as well.

[DirtyBird]

Looks like its designed to show up on your player page only because even the decals we have now display inconsistently.
Cant see them adding those as well until they get the display of the current batch working properly.
Might tie into the Daily Medals/Achievements.

They had better have an option to display it on armor, preferably the chestplate, or I will be sad.

You don't want to make me sad, do you SOE?

Absolutely this!

And no, we dont want SturmovikDrakon to be sad or there will be hell to pay :)

I think they're banners for the forum.

[Electrofreak]

Hamma, do you think we can convince them to give us our PSUMA merits back?

[Hamma]

Hah! That would be boss. Probably not though :(

Assuming this Merit system is even the same.

[Roy Awesome]

It'll probably be like achievements. Those are on the roadmap.

[Chowley]

Yay i love it. :D

[Bags]

Yay, bringing back a PS1 system thing.

[Gonefshn]

Nothing was better than having your merits in your shoulder. It provided so much more reason to play the game and to play it differently. I spent weeks earning merits, trying to do nothing but kill tanks, or nothing but pull AMS etc.

So fun, an obvious good idea.

[Canaris]

I helped an old granny VS across the road earlier do I get a merit badge?.... okay so I didn't exactly help her, then again as I recall now it wasn't a granny VS but a squad of NC corporate bully boys and actually I didn't help them cross the road... I kinda ran them over in my Prowler, still think that should earn my "tried to be good and failed" merit badge right?

[ChipMHazard]

:lol:

I like this

Aren't they for the Players website? There's a 'coming soon' part that looks fit for these.

More perks is good - to a point. They were a nice feature as done in PS1.

I want to be able to lose my helmet & sport a hot pink (or neon green) afro
(err, sniper bait.......doh)

This may be true, but it would still be nice to have on your armour. Hell, even if they only put it on the player database armour. E.G.: On the player database, show your most played class with the most played weapon with that class, but with stock everything else, and have the ribbons show up on it (yes, they're called ribbons, look it up). Or, if anything, have the player in it's faction-specific dress uniform (military people will know what I'm talking about) so that way, we get to see the medals & ribbons AND the player's face since we only see it at the character creation screen.

Could be - only info we got was the image and Higby's Fruit Salad comment.
