Yup ... go to the "wishlist" forum ... there are numerous amounts of planes that people would like made available ... but they aren't ... so they have to choose what HTC has made available.

Same thing here.

Seriously, DadRabit...

We're looking at two different but important values -- tradition/loyalty to a country, and teh game's need for balance. Both are good things, but they're in conflct right now. Unfettered choice of country has created serious (sometimes massive) imbalance.


It would be great if everyone had free choice of country. It would be great if everyone faced equal overall odds in equal planes, because who wants to get ganged every single place they take off?

It would be great if everyone chose in a way that kept the game fair and balanced -- but they havent.




Bluntly, your freedom to choose country has deprived others of their right to an even playing field.


How would you suggest the conflict be resolved?
Maturity is knowing that I've been an idiot in the past.
Wisdom is realizing I will be an idiot in the future.
Common sense is trying to not be an idiot right now

also, does this problem occur during small maps?  big maps?

i'm here to have fun gentlemen.  been here i believe over 6 years now and i not leaving.  i wish i had all the answers but i dont.  i just call em as i see them.  the one thing i like about ah2 is i can get into any ride i want and there are lots to choose from.

back to the maps issue, i believe the larger maps allow more choices.  if a base is being vultched i up somewhere else.  hard to do that with small maps.  thats the problem i have right now is its the same old small maps.  we need to put the larger maps back into rotation.

i have fought with and against alot of folks in ah2 and its a blast.  

bring back the large maps.  fix the eny.  go out and have fun.

as for the "peak" times.i stated in another post.  can the problem be solved by change with the times?

I believe that the reason for the arenas using the small maps is directly related to the max population being allowed in each arena.

I think max population per arena is 250 people ... so with that limited amount of players on a large map ... people could spread out so far, that for the most part, it would not promote/generate fights ... but rather promote/generate milk-running ... which is not what HTC wants to have happen.
