10 Things You'll See In AvA Arena that You Won't See In MA

[plank]

And does any of this really matter considering the news that Rocky Road ice cream replaced the walnuts with almonds (a much better choice in my opinion)?

Seriously, let's focus on what's important.

Also, AvA rules, MA drools!


Just trying to keep with the high school-esque bickering that ensues when someone enjoys something that someone else doesn't.

I agree with Plank, the AvA is a cool arena, everytime I have been in there I have had a good time.

storch... you are there most times I believe but you are never there as a single player... allways as a cog in the squad wheel.

I make fun of peoples styles of play all the time... that is why it is so easy to see it in this thread.   I at least admit it tho.

The ava can be fun with as little as 20 people.... it is rare to see that many tho.   the reason is because there is no real base capture and very few fluff girls.   the fights therefore, tend to happen at one or two places and that is pretty much the closest fields.

All that is good and the guys seem ok but...you will allways find one or two that are crybabies or braggarts... one or two tho..... equals about 10-50% of the arena.... not so unlike the MA percent wise.

Skill levels are about the same.  the fights tend to be much less complex tho do to the fact that.... there are only a couple of combinations that you may run into.

In my opinion it is a great arena for newbies.... simpler plane sets and people more willing to spend the time to help and less ways to pick up bad habits like fluffing and hording and suicide bombing.  

Also... they would get to (be foreced to) fly a lot more different types of planes it they stayed with it a month or so even if the variety of the actual fights would be lacking..... in other words... they would only be able to fly one or two planes but it would rotate a lot but... they would never have to learn how to fight against more than one or two different types of planes at a time.

An ideal arena for newbies.   I really do wish more would go there for a while at least.

I have allways been treated well there except for a couple of guys (10-50%) but then... that is about the same as the ma.

If you were squelching the Doomster, no wonder you wasn`t having fun in the MA.

This was and still is one of my main attractions to the arena. Being forced to learn different planes. If I were a betting man, I'd say the majority of the MA players don't even have their views set up in a P40 of either variant. Just a guess, I could be wrong. Not everyone needs this of course, not saying it's necessary or its good for everybody. I consider myself a constant newbie, a perpetual student. Ask anyone that flys against me, they'll tell you the same

I wouldn't say its a full on newbie arena, I seem to get more pelts in the MA when I'm there. Maybe that's just because of sheer numbers, not sure.

But I'll tell you one thing, Rocky Road ice cream is much better now.



Also, storch wears womens underwear

well lazs last night in the AvA was a fair example of what happens when the MA cartoon heros arrive in the arena.  most were in ponies at 15k plus, the minute they lose the advantage all a person sees is elbows and rumps pumping.  the MA is the place for timid players to play, the AvA inspite of all it's limitations is where the fights are.  these fights occur under 5k and they are always between the closest bases.  the only times it's not like that is when the MA crowd shows up then the porking and fleeing begins.  if you are going to play in the AvA try to play slightly differently try the MA unthinkable, to actually fight for once in your cartoon life.  if not stay in the MA corral with the rest of the pixellated wusses.  I'm not one of those that thinks more retards = a better arena.  the best fights I've ever had have been between myself and one other player, just the two of us on.  and as far as being a cog in a wheel, sometimes I am but most times all of JG54 flies alone.  send me your address I'll send you a quarter so you can buy a clue.

storch... I have no interest in the 15 k fights where the peee 51's tend to hang out and the luftwhiner squad guys practice teamwork and e retention to the point of boring a sane man to death.

I have had very good fights in the ava.. they were lacking in variety but made up for it in aggresiveness for the most part... in all tho.. some of the very best fights are in the Ma when a CV gets close or when the FT map is up... they beat the ava in both intensity and numbers and variety of opponenets plane types.

I can use the quarter tho.

When in the ava I am usualy the guy at the lowest alt tho.

I thought Storch was flying in there.

Lazs just because ma is boredom for you doesn't me the others don't enjoy it.

Most nights and maps are boredom.  Except Donut, Fester and Oz.

oh look its mars!!!!! another BK tard that needs a magnifying glass, tweezers, map and both hands to find his joystick.

Awwww dont be like that Storchita, it's just the way you fly - Not that there is anything wrong with that. LOLHROTFPAOMS  

[storch]

it's ok mamasita marsita-01.  you have no clue as to how I play, stop by some time so I can wipe the arena with you.  it's fun and easy to depixellate you.

[mars01]

Ahhh you only wish - every time I saw you, you were diving in from high while I was engaged.  Every time it was you Vs me you were dead.  When I get back from my competition I'll jump in and slay you.

I have some good film of it too.

[Panzzer]

Oh, come on. Limited planesets and "historical" maps / setups can't be exciting to everyone. There's always something to whine about, no matter the planeset/map (uh, Kev, I am not talking about you).

Glad you enjoyed your time there, SirLoin.

The others, give it a try.
