Increased Perk Capacity

[Fair Play 5,634]

I don't know if this is permissible, but it would be a nice option down the road.

@mattshotcha, would the developers ever consider this?

[mike-hannigan 74]

Can't wait to have additional slots to roll some more Quiet Swimmer, Easy Listening and Aquanauts!!! 😂 (Voted yes).

It came up as a question in a Beyond episode, I think Wes said it was a good idea but low priority. Maybe Shifty will sneak it in the Perk rework, 😏.

I’d very much like a larger library but that probably doesn’t surprise anyone here, lol.

Id like to have 30+ legendary perks.

[camp_voorhees 63]

if you mean by there name in game then no if wes and company can't add a tree or a rock that's already in game then they can't add an extra perk slot to me that's new content

I'm fine with waiting, if it were to be an option to extend the number of perks one can hold. As there are more important matters to fix, it can come later.

I am not referring to a 4th slot in game. I mean increasing the capacity beyond 30, so we could eventually hold at least one of each perk.

Honestly we should've had a better perk collection IMO. Probably a 999 limit and have the option to sort our perks in alphabetical order, rarity, ownership, percentages and recently acquired. Perks that we don't own should still show up in the collection but greyed out. Sadly this won't ever happen.

Problem from the beginning was casino perks and not a simple level progression system where we purchase content with CP or earn by completing achievements. 

As for the system currently, we should have a slot for each named perk. With any update, a perk that was worthless before may become valuable. Remember during the Jason reign when we equipped the perk to get the car started faster because his stun time was so low. Now no one uses it. 

I think another reason it would be nice is so I dont have to delete 3 perks, roll 3, delete until I am getting legendaries

Rolling perks would've been fine if there was a different type of currency that you get after "Selling/destroying" perks, and that said currency you use to craft the perk you want.

For example:

Currently you spend 500 CP to roll a perk, say you get an epic aquanaut but you don't want it so you destroy it and get 100 "perk scraps".

Now you go to the perk collection and you can craft a common medic for 500 scraps or a Legendary one for 10.000 scraps.

Of course the lower the rarity the lesser perk scraps you get after destroying it.

Just an idea that would've made perk-a-lotto more bearable.

I actually really like this idea. It’s an interesting take on perk upgrading.

I really hope this is how it works in any future games, as much as I’d like small improvements that Mike suggested, a whole new system would be preferable. One were hard work are rewarded and luck is only a small part, if at all.

I have to agree with @Slasher_Clone, this is a great idea

You guys think Jason gets trolled too much now? Add another perk slot and see how bad it gets...

Edit: lol nevermind I read the rest of the thread. But still no from me. I don't use 27 of the perks I have now. What's the difference?

Maybe with the perk overhaul/rework that the devs are supposedly working on, some perks will get new effects/properties and might diversify more the meta? 

Problem with current perk capacity is that once you're sitting at 38-39 perks and you want to try your luck with perk-a-lotto you'll have to roll a perk, sell the unwanted perk, roll perk, sell, roll, sell, etc. and it gets tedious after some time.

If you're fine with your current collection though then it's cool.

Mine are mostly legendary with no - effects so I'm ok with them for now. And to be honest I only use medic thick skin and nerves of steel for every counselor except Jenny. She gets preparedness nerves of steel and thick skin for the no fear build. Never change them and unless they go nuts on the perk rework I probably never will. But yeah, my go to for rolling perks was delete one roll one, rinse and repeat until I got what I was after.

I'd love to have a collection like yours. I can't even get a good thick skinned or Nerves of Steel to save my life. Lol

Lol cost me a fortune in CP. And countless hours of roll and delete. But it was worth it...

There are players who only use a handful of perks, so 30 is more than enough for them. For those that use more than a chosen 4 or 5, then having space for one of each perk makes sense. At the very least, those who don't want the extra space don't have to use it.
