4 unbalanced arena

Why is every post that is not condescending to Aces High or current policy called a whine...

Followed immediately by some dweeb who needs to make a personal attack?

while there may have been a post or two with actual constructive critism, most haven't been.  For an example, just read the first post on this thread and then try and come and tell us all that it isn't a whine.  You're dismissed.

Now instead of having one large arena with huge furballs, and options on where to go play, there are the same size maps, with the same imbalance, with the not so epic battle going on in land, sea, and air. (Yes, there are boats and tanks in this game, and they are not going anywhere)

LOLH what dream land were you flying in the old MA???  What you describe did not exist in the old MA that is why we are where we are.

Oh!.. God forgive me for the whine..... God forgive me for pointing out 4 unbalanced (first thread) arenas and God forgive me for pointing at Slapshot for a solution.

Ackack once you come down from 20k and stay down you'll see things just as they are.

If you hear a big "pop" it's not alt reductions it's that bubble of yours.

lynx,

it's hard to levy a complaint here without the board flamers calling it a whine.  you just have to act like they dont exist.

One of the biggest reasons I find the talk of an "AH Community" so rediculous.  Most of the time I find the forums full of people who either think they are "funny" or they like to hide behind an IP Address and bully someone.

Haven't cared much about balance anywhere. In the old big arena if the base I was at was getting "El Kabonged" too much, I just went elsewhere in the same arena. If my side was whacked night after night I just played BF2 for a while. The only real problem I see now is that the megasquads can't steamroll the MA like they used to do- all the while telling you how superior they were. Life changes- deal with it.

Where's -IG- been or any of the other Shills for that matter?  Haven't seen you guys on lately.

Its not about balancing sides, it's about balancing servers.  That was the purpose of the arena change.

If you want balanced sides then you need to forget about squads and take it away from the hands of the humans to decide which side they will be on.  Have an auto balancing routine that switches you from side to side to balance out the numbers of players on any given side.   There are lots MMOG's out there that do just that.

But that's not why I play AH, I play it because of the other people that fly in my Squad and fly for our side (knights).  I suspect that many of you if not all play for the same reason.

i thought the purpose of the change was to create a more happy and friendly communtiy, had nothing to do with equipment.

i fly with my friends, i don't worry about my chess piece at all:)

I thought the most recent tweak to the new arena settings (2 LW's, caps monitored/adjusted via software) was a GREAT idea-- however, the result is 1 LW arena with 95 bish, 67 nits, 45 rooks, other LW is 95 NITS 67 BISH....and last but not least....45 rooks-- however, rooks kick arse in MW and EW, as noone else flies there, by and large. I dont even look forward to loggin in anymore

aye

my squad had a choice.... LWorange, and a perk modifer of 0.3 or, well, nothing LWblue was full. and as you pointed out LWblue really needed knits help, yet we couldn't join.


so we went midwar and tried to chase some la5s but got bored.... thankfully snapshot is on soon.


the balance thing shouldnt be 50% of players spread between LW's, it should be 50% of knits, 50% of bish, 50% of rooks per LW arena.

Or so they would have you think.  As a result of the tweaks the only thing that has changed is the balance of users on a Server.  Any arena can and is still pretty loopsided, one way or another.  But the servers are balanced, the load on any server is within reason.  Game play sucks, but hay, not according to HITech.
