Arena format change

[Husky01]

The new areana isnt bad i completly see why they did it. I would have taken difrent steps towords it though..

Hiteach Skuzzy Pryo.....a few things not complaining just wondering/ questions. The 613th SOS JG44 and 68 lighting lancers we were all in the Mid war areana becouse both late and early war where full. SO the 3 of our squads joined up rolled over the whole map we won the war and were "awward perk points" and we were all looking fowarad to a new map... but heres the thing we log back on to fine the same map we were on Baltic jsut rotated sides and that only some of the guys who were on recivied perk points.......thats pretty much it...


          P.S. the new areana set up isnt that bad has a lot of flaus in it but over time i hope they will work out. Its jsut going to take some corraporation from the HTC comunity and some patcience to get use to things...like pyro said old habbits die hard...

            all lets jsut try  this new areana set up and hope it works for the best i mean what harm could it do to give it a shoot:aok

Perfect example of why this is stupid. Got a good war going on in the Late war2 arena. Even numbers. yada yada yada. Rooks decide they are getting picked on and log. Now bish and nits have an ENY penalty of 39.9. So we pay the 14.95 a month so why should we have to jump from arena to arena to keep a fight going. We have worked all evening on a battle and now we cant even up planes or a dam ostwind to finish the job. Way to go! Looks like my 14.95 is becoming a worthless investment.

Here my 2 cents worth: The overall concept of dividing the main arena into several separate arenas based on time periods to improve the quality of game play is a good one. Cliché – It levels the playing field and allows for one’s survival to rely more on skill and team work than hardware alone. However the lack of connections to all of the arenas may be detrimental to certain squads over long periods of time. I was surprised that I had to wait almost 45 minutes tonight just to log into the early war arena where my squad was due to the fact that the arena was full. Fortunate for me I had the time to kill tonight. In doing so I also noticed that in each arena, certain countries were heavily outnumbered. This too may tend to cause a lack of interest. Changing the strategies and the concepts of the initial game play in order to maintain a fresh gaming environment is one thing but if individual squads and player relationships are affected by the changes that that’s another. I would have no problem with the divided arenas if there were sufficient numbers allowed to log into each one. I have never had a problem logging into the old main arena, why should I have one now? If I wanted to wait on line for a ride I'll go to a six flags amusement park.

Edit: P.S. It is going to be wierd watching WHELS defend a GV base in a T34 instead of a tiger. Just not quite the same.

Just tried to log in.  It's 10 pm EST.  The EWA & LWA are totally full.  Waited 15 looong min. to get into the LWA to see plane sets.  I finally got in as the #200 player.  Looked at roster.  34 total Rooks on & they can have no more because of the dumb cap.  I normally hate the Rooks, but come on.  Then I tried to up a plane. I'm informed planes with ENY less than 41 not allowed.  How retarded.  Saw a flight of 5 goons orbiting over the field.  I asked what they were doing.  They said it's about the only plane they could up. LMAO!!!!!  This sux!!!!  True AHers unite!! Chant aloud "Bring back the MA!!!!!!!!!"  Pleeeeze for the love of all that is good, dump this crap, give us our beloved game back!!  

My 27 cents

P.S My squad is around 90 members.  There is almost always 20 or more peeps on my sqd ch.  Tonight there were 3! LMAO  Did I mention this sux?

Rant over
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaa:huh

Since it has been said in past...that the community wouldnt be split up..and that there would be no WW1 or Korean era arenas....can we have a RR arena now?

[EN4CER]

For the record, If more connections cannot be allowed to individual arenas then I say bring back the old MA!

[VgasX]

Well I must say my hats off to Hitech and crew for trying new things to make game play better but i don't think this is the right direction. Splits up squads and friends. In the late war 2 arena there was 90 bish and 66 knits and 34 rooks and Arena was full. Bring back the MA PLEASE!!!!
The feed back from my squad is the same this blows.

ok guys let's look at it from this angle. It's the weekend and your logging on planning to join your Squadies for a few hours of entertainment only to find out your squadies are in Late Arena 2 and since this is the weekend when most players are on, both late arenas are full since each of the Late arena's only hold 200 peeps. Now your forced into a arena you don't want to be in (now mind you this could be any of the arenas that are full).

Here's a little scenario I can see happening a lot also, The most popular arena's which ever they might be, let's just say the early arena, headcount as follows 110 Bish, 60 knits and 80 Rooks, No way to even out numbers because Arena is full and in this scenario guess who will be dominating in that arena?

Just some food for thought as it seems this whole thing was not thought out that well.

And as for you Hind end smoochers Flame on!

Ok I'm in Late arena now, numbers Bish 97 knits 79 and rooks 34 and the early arena was full also and it's not even the weekend. Guess I called that one right

I for one am not pleased.  How do I know where VMF213 is flying so I can kill them?

I really enjoyed mixing up the aircraft, the perkies were great.

Instead of going this route, the AvA arena should have been pushed a little harder and maybe another specialty arena added.  Maybe a GV arena.  What was so wrong about 500 people being in the same arena at the same time?

[Yeager]

I think HTC has a better product today then they had yesterday.  But thats just my opinion

[1K3]

I haven't played this game for awhile but is it true that there's early-mid-late war areas?   This looks exciting

Sux more than a Dyson

i had a lot of fun for the last few hours in the early war arena. at first i thought it would be bad. after a few fights, it was actually cool to be able to break away from a fight to land and reload without being chased or pounced on by an LA7 or a ponyD.  actually takes a little work to win a fight. i like it for now. i think the squad aspect is going to need a little work though.

[jon]

how will squaddies know which arena to goto to fly with your squad? this has good points but i dont like it for others

[moneyguy]

oh, one more thing, the arena fill up to capacity pretty quick, i think the cap needs to be raised a lil.
