Humble - responses inside
CT stands for Combat Theater if I'm not mistaken. Combat here really means air combat in my mind. Your using historically correct plane sets and maps (as much as possible) to facilitate a "higher" level of immersion and game play....great theory...
Correct. But sometimes in includes vehicle combat.what you have as a rule is a small group of players who often abuse and undermine your goals...tell me how often is the CT porked and needs to be reset???
We recently found a couple of settings that could impact the arena by causing resets. The staff is now aware of these settings and have noted it for future setups. If all the bases are captured, only THEN will it cause a reset. Most new maps have bases off-map making it impossible to reset the map (as in the current one). When you have 22 players logged on and 10 if not all 12 are basically in a single horde you have a situation as bad or worse as anything in the MA. When "new blood" shows up its invariably gangbanged and insulted...thats not coming from me...you can find numerous posts that illustrate that here. Currently CT numbers are usually 3-5% of total logged on players at best....theres a reason for it. Now, to me this is a relatively new situation (meaning 12 to 18 months)....the CT used to be a blast to fly in and a great place to learn. Based on what I saw the last few times I logged in its not anymore...
Insulted as in channel 1? See my last post. It's turned off. You gotta want to hear the chatter on 200 now to experience that. Still, abusive behaviour is not tolerated at HTC.As far as I'm concerned the Admins do a great job, and I have a tremendous amount of respect for some of the individuals who fly the CT. The problem lies both in numbers and attitude. Greater numbers will help create better game play...simply by eliminating the easy gangbang BS thats prevelent (again just read previous posts). As for attitude obviously I guess this is now the accepted norm...
That's an opinion humble, not a fact. Truth is, if you want great numbers in historical settings, then the SEA events might be something for you to try. But honestly, in this setup, 20-30% of my enagements are 1 vs 1. That's 99.999999% more than I can find in the MA.I have no clue how any of the admins can address the issue...but I'll bet you dollars to donuts they take a hard look at the CT once TOD comes out....
We listen, we discuss, and we propose solutions to address the majority, not the vocal minority, but sometimes, those who ask do speak to the general. Engagement is sometimes a double edge sword. Especially for a VOLUNTEER STAFF. Right guys?
