Lazs-  You keep telling everyone to suck it up, and switch sides if needed...Well your wrong...I have been a rook for four years...I have switched sides maybe 5 or 6 times, and that was for the mininum time frame...Why?  Because I am faithful to the team I play on...I like flying with friends...Friends is one of the main reasons I stay in this game...Yea, I could prolly fly against them and have a good fight...But it wont be half as much fun as having my two favorite wingmen next to me, instead of inside my gunsight....Im sorry but a lot of us are set in our ways, and take this game to seriously and will not be changing sides...

on another note, all I have seen is hordes....worse then the old MA ever was.....


BLAH:rolleyes:

[lazs2]

so cav... if you play touch football or baseball or something.... if everyone wants to play with their buds do you just have teams that are say 15 to 1?

or do you just leave and not play?

You might be surprised that going to the bathroom without a girlfriend holding your hand is scary but... rewarding...  you might find that all those guys on the other team..

They are just as good a guys as the ones that you hang out with day after day after day after....

Cracks me up... the guys saying this is breaking up the community... never fly with more than one chess piece.. never get to know anyone..

What a waste of a multiplayer game...  for all you know the other chesspieces are just Ai

Why didn’t you take a poll or announce it earlier?

It wouldn’t be useful to us for this change.  We know it’s going to be controversial.  The real test is not whether people think they’re going to like it or dislike it, it’s what happens after we make the transition and things are settled.  I didn’t like beer the first time I tried it but I’ve grown quite fond of it since then.  The transition is the worst part and we have no interest in dragging that out opening up a conflict of speculation before it even starts. We ultimately have to do what we think is best for the game.

I think you got this wrong here, I think you should be doing all that you can to satisfy your customers/subscribers, as without them you have no game.

ok 4510...  why do you fly the d9?    

I don't think you were in the EW long enough or enough into the spirit of it to judge.  

I can see that your style would not work out for the early war.


Just not what I like to do..  apparently there are a lot of guys who feel the same.

I fly German... also fly the A5 and 109-F4 in LW.
As far as paying attention to what is around me... it's called Situational Awareness (SA).

Judging.. I've flown some time in the EWA everyday I've flown since the change was made.  I LIKE the EWA.

EW and my "style", yeah you are right.  I was landing 4 kills hops continously.  Only time I didn't I got rammed.

It's what I like to do.. apparently there are a lot of guys who feel the same.

I 100% agree with this statement.

But along with that comes a fiew pieces of knowledge.

1. Satisfing some one verses giving them what they ask for are not the same thing.

2. It is almost imposible to satisfy everyone.

 Scrub the MW it is always sub 100 flyers or at least add it to EW.

-MrD

Why scrub it or add it to the EWA?  It's by far the best of the three arenas and the low numbers make for some excellent 1v1 fights that you can't find in any of the other two arenas.

i agree hitech, we're human, and human nature is that we r never satisfied with anything, at all...its just the way life works.

i personally don't mind the changes now that i can squad text to my squadies in other arenas, i just wish that we could use squad vox across the other arenas or even if u could put the rosters together.....like have the roster go :


Early War

blah
blah
blah


Mid War

blah
blah
blah


Late War

blah
blah
blah

so that was u can at least see if ur squad is on instead of tryin to .f them to locate them...just a suggestion, but the squad vox thing would b cool...just my 2 cents

Hi-Tech hit the nail on the head with this one. I totally respect their trying a new idea, but if it dosen't work just go back to the drawing board. I honestly wish HTC would forget screwing with the arenas and just fix up Combat Tour. I understand that was anounced since before the birth of Christ. lol  

[ByeBye]

Leave the MA the way it was. Exactly the way it was with the same cap.

Cap the new arenas at 250 and have duplicates spawn after 90%.

I think this would solve every one of my issues with the changes, and probably keep the guys that like the EW, MW arenas happy as well.

[KTM520guy]

The new system could work very well. The biggest draw back is the cap limits followed by ENY as a close second. I just came from the Mid War Arena and you could not fly any mid war planes ENY should be disabled and cap limits set to 1000. The current system of opening a second arena when one gets close to full is just plain stupid. If 260 guys want to go to Late War only 250 get in and 10 get put in another room. Might as well just log aff if you are unlucky enough to get in the big room.

I say this just to vent a litle and for the sake of discussion. I know very well that nothing will done to correct these flaws and I accept that.

There's nothing you can do that will make everyone happy, running your business with that (trying to make everyone happy) as the top priority is a disaster. Your top priority should be the long-term health of the game.

I jumped to the end.  Are folks still civil?

HTC - Where did I say that you should give the people what they want ?  Reason I ask is your reply seems to presume that was my intention.

Also with regards to the subscribers who aren't happy, I would be interested to know how you feel about the situation, I mean of course this isn't an ideal world, but are you really prepared to potentially lose business for those guys who feel the current situation doesn't suit them ?

Either way for me it doesn't even matter, I don't even know why I am posting here as I myself am no longer a subscriber and doubt I will return (even thought I've came back like 3-4 times before.)

I hope you find a solution to the problem as the game is so strong because of the playerbase you have and the community and squads within the game, to "break them up" seems a shame.

BTW, thank you for an early war arena with the Spitfire IX but not the 109G-2 ... thats even worst than the wrong rollin plane set I played with the old Warbirds.
