Plan to stop the WHINING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
« on: March 31, 2006, 02:32:44 PM »
Recently all i here is so and so complain they want to FURBALL and so and so is taking FT,TT,whatever. I propouse a new arena/Change Backup to Furball ARENA/TT.

Disable troops at all bases PERMANETLY!!!!!!!
Make 1 Bomber and 1 Fighter Hanger Indestructable.
Make a seperate area (Long range from FT) TT make troops Unavalible again. And 1 VH Undestructable.

Make complaining in Main arena a violation if its about base taking. As that would be the idea and Purpose for MA.

IF YOU THINK THIS IS A GOOD IDEA OR HAVE IDEAS TO HELP END THE Constant complaining about Base captures.Since that is the idea of the game. Then chime in.

I am trying to fix a problem PLEASE NO SARCASTIC RESPONCES OR WHINNING ABOUT THE ISSUE!!!!!

I like your idea, however, contrary to some people's opinion, I believe there would not be 600 people in that arena to show, "HEY LOOK AT ALL THE KILLS I LANDED, YAAAAAYYYYY ME!!  It's an attention issue.

Wow, yet another "let's send the group we consider to be separate from the rest of the community to another arena" thread.

Seriously, you consider banishing those who don't support griefing to another arena to be a solution?

The issue isn't base capture; it's griefing that is making people upset. Why do so many folks insist on pretending it's not?

yeah, bang on



its not base taking. sometimes i like base taking. its the people that come and screw other peoples fight up on purpose


like, a gay buff dweeb that will come through a great furball that eveyone is loving, and deliberately destroy the hangars. or lame pork dork typhoons

its not for any strategic value, its just to annoy people.







and what annoys me even more is that the obviously retarded majority of the AH toolshed community continue to attack a base and destroy EVERYTHING there, including all the fuel, all the stuff there, but never attack the town. i mean, isnt that really stupid? so it ends up just being an hour or so before they finally take the base. it would be fine if their horde took a base from right underneath us, or really fought their way to the base, but they dont, they dont fight, they kill the defenseless buildings and just take ages, and it means that the defenders cant do much because they constantly get vulched.

just drives me nuts. they do it on purpose. it seems they dont play this game to fight and have fun, they just play for points, its really lame

as someone who doesn't care about taking bases, i still like to fight those you are trying to.  

this is the whole thing about FT.  FT is beloved by the furballers.  it is the only cluster of bases designed in the way that it is.  furballers asked if the mission guys would leave those bases alone.  remember we are talking about 1 and only 1 map, and 1 and only 1 base per country on that map.  so you have the rest of the freakin map to do what you will.

the response/solution to this is to split the community further and make a new arena.  

to me it seems this issue is about the community, not so much the style of play. a simple request, and seems reasonable, is responded with comments like "it's my $15 ill do what i want, you can't tell me how to play."

there is no simple solution to this.  many have friends that like to fly against, chat with, so on and so forth.  what some of you guys lose sight of in this game with comments like this, is that people also play because they enjoy the challenge of fighting a live opponent (not a FH), and that many enjoy relaxing/chatting with friends they have made playing this game.  some of these friends may be strat guys, or furballers.....it doesn't matter, we are here to have fun.....oh wait no, its so everyone can see me land 5 kills, ya thats it :huh

How often do I see dorks in the text buffer saying they like taking out the hangars at furballs because "they like to hear the furballers whine"... it's pathetic how many griefers there are. You know how many times I've seen furballers say how much they love taking out bomber hangars and ord so the bomber guys (the ones that aren't lamers... there used to be some, don't know about that anymore) can't fly? None.

The ball is in the toolshedders' court. It really will be pathetic if hitech's forced to come up with a solution to end all the whines and griefing. This community used to be better than that.

Heard something similar to this the other day and almost cried i was laughing so hard.

Their side: "Why do you guys always have to ruin our furballs by destroying the hangars?"

Our side: "Yeah, we typically show up to a furball with ord, bombers, and a goon dumb***. It's just how we roll."

As far as greifers go, Would you like me to hold your purse for you? Come on. It's not like your completely frakking helpless here. You got GUNS man, USE 'EM.:D

When I first started here, and for a long time after, I used to go fly a buff out and take (or at least try to take) the hangers out at a field that was at one end of a "good fight".  It wasn't to piss anyone off.  I thought I was doing the right thing.  If the fight was stalled between two bases and through bombing the enemy base our country could move forward then I had, in my mind, positively influenced the direction of the fight.

Even now it's sometimes hard to distinguish between a furball and a stalemate when flying over at altitude.

For the most part, I doubt most bomber pilots are trying to piss you off (although some may be), rather I think they consider themselves contributing to the cause.

If the intent isn't to work toward capture of an enemy base then bombers should be eliminated from the game for fear that you're ruining some fighter dudes fun.

Even if the base is taken the furball will redevelop in another location.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.
