Can you find your squad?

again we have the issue of choice. some players prefer certain arenas, sometimes I prefer to fly complete alone other times I prefer company. I don't have a problem with squaddies wanting the same. the new three MA arenas actually enhances gameplay. aren't we all pro choice?


I understand that not everyone has the same preferences as me, and I applaud having a choice, but I dont get to choose to fly with my squad?  Not much of a choice, and thats my only real problem with the split.  I do, however, think that it will be fixed and I will be able to go on my merry way.:D

I'm 100% pro-choice, except when it comes to what other people want.

I'd personally like to fight more than 30 people and it just doesn't seem that those arenas ever have very many in them.  I also like to capture the occasional base while fighting and since the furball only guys like those arenas, I'll try to not disturb the way they like to play.  When I choose to get into the furball, which happens when I'm not flying with my squad, I'll give those a try, Thanks!

Storch your squad is 1/4 the size as many larger squad with players like myself that have been with the same group for over 8 years. You have 12 guys with a score on your squad page and we have 22 in our first wing and we have two wings. I bet the smaller squad dont have the same problems as we do.

Free Birds like FBBone are another large squad and have been around for some time.

Bone

who you looking to fly with?
I thought our guys were finding each other fine.  It is a given I don't log into LW unless Dred wants us in there.  

except for Bigzby we are usually in MW or EW and even Bigz did a couple days in MW last week.(I think he strapped some rAto units to a 110 or something)

no doubt that the problems facing a larger squad are inherently different to those of a smaller group of players.   if you all had to absolutely cram into the same arena that the other many people squads want to be in of course you would flood it out, and you do.  why not go to the other arenas?  bone just offered up the reason that he doesn't like the other arenas because they are unpopulated.  I suspect the real reason may be another, I'll get to that in a minute.  

my point is this.  if any squad, irrespective of size wants to play together they have four  venues that they may select from.  if a sixty member squad logs on en masse and there are already thirty players present in the subject arena then this arena is no longer devoid of players.

I suspect the real rub here is that the mega squads would prefer to be in the fastest, cannonest planes and biggest ord carrying bombers so they can do...well..... whatever they like to do and do so while taking the path of least resistance.

this is all well and good I suppose but then it's your own choice that prevents you from playing together which is the basis of your argument.

you guys want the old MA.  it needed to die, I'm glad it's gone.  I look forward to the further evolution of this game.  I think the move to separate venues of play was a brilliant solution to a game killing problem.

just saying.

I think we average 5 guys on a squad night.. 3-4  any other night.

The "roster" is maintained for historical  value.

yes Freebirds came from AW
