Mutta sitä on kai niin tyhmä, ettei älyä vain kadota, vaan kuvittelee että nämä ameriikan pellet välittää paskaakaan ja oikeasti yrittävät kehittää tästä hyvää pelikokemusta. Homma on ryssitty, taas. Dollarit kyllä kelpaa, mutta peli junnaa paikallaan, tai etenee kuin Italialaiset tankit, yksi eteen kaksi taakse.

Gee, I wonder how many rules I just broke? GO figure....

No problem, I'll just run this through my handy translator and yer busted!

As trend savour olevan , that gambling inflict proportion ajan hankalammaksi , which välppäämällä tenancy proportion or nuuteroimalla peril jenkkihegemonialle olevat hardware , should vissiin haul johtopäätökset. Only it is maybe thus stupid , lest älyä merely pass , but imagination that these ameriikan zany intervene paskaakaan and really enterprise generate hence good pelikokemusta. Ploy is ryssitty , anew. Dollar yea kelpaa , only match junnaa there , or etenee like Italian refuel , one before twain beyond.

Umm...   never mind.  

I-KIRJAIN hiippakunta te kohtuullinen pitää ajan tasalla hassutus. Te ainoa leikkiä jotta osata Finnish. Ehkä apina hyppy model after sinun koskettimisto eli te hankkia hengen asema.

Long and short of it, HT has determined that the old massive MA arena (and the 'mega-squads that went with it) was starting to turn off new customer growth, and his job isnt to make YOU happy, it's to create an environment hospitable for noobs/ more income.  He has sparred with Falcnwng on a few occasions, and he seemed to have a negative view on the megasquad thing (tho I don't think he ever stated it specifically). (And I've seen several times in last few weeks when JG3 Udets and Bop's put up 60+ between them---ya CANT insert that into an arena and not make people wanna log--at least now, we can can go to the OTHER arena)

i never said anyones job is to make ME happy-----and lets see--what is going to make noobs happy??--not making me happy is going to make noobs happy?--and then when these noobs become regular subscribers,we have to make sure that they are not happy so that we can get more noobs into the game so that we can make them happy -until they are regular subscribers and then ---no logic in that--lame argument----and if 2 squads up together to get this 60+ horde--so what??---how does that affect anyone????-----MY POINT WAS-- whining about the damage a 90+ member squad has on the game --even though for the most part they only up between 20 and 30 guys at a time one night a week----i didn,t realize that this was a loner game----fly with a bunch of buddies and put a name on it and you are now a mega squad ,horde, borg-- and a albratross to the game-------snap out of it and fly your game--- we,ll fly ours--one night a week!!!-----the ew and mw not far enough away from us for you???

With lower arena caps, even small groups of you idiots can be tiresome. The other night, the CH (the knit version of the BoPs) skwad themselves had nearly the same numbers as the rooks and bish. Add to their ranks another couple squads with 5-10 people on, all running large missions against the bish. Numbers in the MW were something like 15 bish, 64 knits, and 20 rooks.

And you can't figure out how that might affect gameplay ?

nice personal insult

nope----can,t see how--cause i,m an idiot!!----try to avoid that stuff if you don,t like it ---most squads only up en-masse on one night a week---thats  just a couple hours out of a whole week-----go to a different arena--thats the beauty of the new set up--everyone has an arena they can go to and be an idiot in their own way---the only ones that really get hurt are the squads themselves because of the eny factor---and when you get 30+ guys focusing on one section of the map--a horde?---or a mega squad--whats the difference???---anyone who doesn,t play like you want is an idiot--right???

How big is a mega squad? Right now my squad = 2. It was 4 but one quit and the other changed the spelling of his name.

In the old MA even a couple of heavy bombers formations flying at medium-high altitude (15-20K that is) were enuff to destroy the fun of some 20 players furballing low around FT or some other field. Just becouse a couple of those furballers hadnt enuff time and will to scramble and intercept them or cap their own fields with an eye on the radar. Furballers have been lobbying pretty well during the last year. Havent they?

IMO, some of the best fights our squad had in AcesHigh have been against big missions, no matter how low or high and above all, how big, they were. I for one loved high alt interception against buff formations with my wingie, defending Knight's territory and HQ.

maybe HTC needs to lower number of players a squad can have (like max 10 or so) and pre approve squad names to prevent the joining of smaller squads into mega squads via the squad name.

How does this stop people from hanging out and flying together?

Whats fun if ya got a lot of people...build in a handicap--do somethin like 50 D3A's on a field, instead of usual horde of La7's, tiffys  and 110's

Horde this, horde that.

It's funny to me how much people whine about a "horde".  

The mega-squad I'm in typically looks for horde attacks on Bish bases.  

It's not uncommon for a lot of us to be on and someone gets on vox and calls for help at a base that has a noe horde inbound.  

Many of us will auger and get there ASAP and confront the horde.  

Many times the announcement is made on contry channel and a lot of Bish show up.

Lots of good fights to be found in these situations.  

We don't complain and 9 times out of 10 we squash the feeble horde attack.

It makes me scratch my head as to why this isn't how others respond to a "horde".

For better or worse, vast majority of AH IS hordes...which is odd, since so many people (me included), complain about that style of gameplay. Big map, small map...90% of the guys(and pre-teen sqeakers)  online are in 3 compacted areas. Ya look at one sector--all bish swarming a base--look elsewhere..all rooks swarming a base...look further..all nits swarming a base... MIGHT find one sector which looks like even # to fly to. I hope this new thingie comes out soon:furious

exactly.... up a defensive horde...... and FIGHT

people moan about not having fights, and these people are often the same people that moan about hordes, and undefended bases. DEFEND the base, and FIGHT, theres your oppotunity its RIGHT there.
