Arena format change

[DrGena]

It just sucks, not having acces to the planes i like to fly, no ppl on arena, and not to play with the ppl i like to.
I havent played for long this time, but i have played AH on and off for many years, and never have an seen arene even close to full, not even last months.
So in my eyes this is just an excuse to make ppl give upp teamplay on thoose small maps and make AH into a booring dogfight game.

Geez some people get all up in arms over things without thinking them through.

No I didn't read all of the posts in this thread, but let's think about this...

This is the first major change to AH in a couple of years. Do you think that they changed it just for the sake of change?

This HAS to be a precursor to the release of CT. Again, think about it. You need to develope your character in CT. To do it properly you need the time periods and plane sets of the war split close to what they are now. You wouldn't want ME262's in the early war because they weren't there. And, they would need time to work out the plane set and any bugs in other changes before the release of CT.

While I don't particularly like the current arrangement, all I'm saying is slow down, take a deep breath and think of what good may come of this.

I love the new setup... and while some say this is against multiplayer gaming i dont think so, i think the player base will grow and soon we have all four arenas filled up with a lot of people.

It would have to grow very soon and very rapid.
And still style of play & choice of planes would be restricted in various ways.


Right now we have 65 players in Early, 8 in Medium, 8 In Late War One and 22 players in late War to. And sides are more imbalanced I had ever seen:
58% of players in Early Arena are rooks, 57% in Medium are Knights, and in late war Bish make up a whopping 65% of all players

Is that supposed to be fun?

There isnīt money enough to get me to move there.
The point is, how often have the arena hit maximum capacity?

The 13th was my birthday, got a big honkin 22" flat panel, and got to fight in early war for HOURS. This is frikkin awesome. I'm a P47N guy, normally get 150-200 kills in it every camp, but I STILL like early war-- ya NEVER get 1 ping deaths there from ho'n hizooka/La7 tards--- a minimal amount of fighting must ensue before a plane falls from the sky. T34 fights are fluff'n funny too......15 seconds later... ....15 seconds later.. .....

That may be. But because of the upcoming CT (which I did & still do await eagerly) they have to take away MA?
But from various postings on this BBS I got the impression that CT would be an addition:

OHHHHHHH THE HUMANITY!#!@!@

All you BOPs are whining like a bunch of BKs. Why don't you just take your 200+ members, pick an arena, and fight each other. Sorta like the ultimate king of the hill thingy.

I am mostly online when europeans and north americans are not.Numbers are really low.But i still think this is a nice change.

I think that there needs to be limits on how many to a side....  some kind of side balancing so that you can't have 100 of one and then 20 of each of the others....   There also maybe needs to be the ability to change sides more often in order to even things up.

I can see why this whole arena thing is so abhorent to the mega squads....  Imagine if you will... they all sign on in an arena as say... rooks...  the whole rook country is say BOP's....  the entire country full of guys who....

If they meet another plane they are about three times more likely to die than to win.

no place for the whordes to hide... everyone sees how much they suck.  The best planes won't let em run away with impunity...  in fact... there will be guys with bundles of perk points to chase em down and slaughter em in fast perked rides.   They can't fight and they can't run and... on the small maps.. they really can't "sneak" as effectively..  Their members will look around and......

Any BOP's with CH gear..... I could use some spares.   ten cents on the dollar... best offer you are gonna get.
