If anything I would think making base captures truly challenging would be a boon for the base capture prone types. No longer will the elitist fighter jocks have exclusive domain on facets of the game that actually require some skill and talent to be successfull at.

Step one: kill defenses
Step two: capture base
Step three: profit

Then why not just eliminate it completely now?  

Do you think that HTC is phasing out base captures by forcing those who like them to get disgusted with the game and leave?

Base captures are a part of them game and should stay that way.

The recent changes have made them more difficult and rightly so.

the game still has base capture yes! but only if you have a monster hord.. if everybody joined same side in EW you would be hard pushed to capture a base from 2 defenders..i for 1 don't really like flying in a hord..

But this isn't why i started this post.. AH used to be a fast pace game with lots of things going on even all over the small maps.. it wasn't perfect but the general ambiance was a whole lot more jovial..now things have gone to the other extream ..ambience is a lot more personal and immature..

im not blowing my top or throwing my toys around, i'm just airing my views and im sure some view of other players..

also a thing to remember is AH is a 24 hour game. some player play in the quiet hour when the US is asleep.. there game play will be the most effected i think..

NOW do you see why grownups shouldnt mess around with baited hooks in here?

Think of the children! All those low functioning, impressionable minds! The horror, oh the horror.....

Yes, a uh, a profound sense of fatigue... a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I... I was able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence.
