Or are you saying that the majority of the player base is in there, maybe because they like it, and you have to be where the numbers are???

It's just like last night, there were a handful of people in LWO crying about the change.  My question was if they didnt like it go to the other LW arena.

I wish HT would do this in the EW, MW arenas.  This is where people avoiding each other gets real bad, due to low numbers and depending on if the avoidance players are in there en mass.


Blue was, full had no CHOICE.

lift arena caps and problem solved, its not in my power to do so though:)

do bases sometimes get captured with no defence?........ yes.
So what? don't you think that most would eventually get bored
of "rolling undefended bases" and start seeking out a more challenging
engagement?


Problem is, they don't get bored, it's done every night and the main reason HT is testing this new change. :aok

Fair enough, but when I was on Blue was always half of Orange and I had to wait a few times for caps to change to get in Orange.

Not exactly.  The arenas are limited as to the number of players that can get in, thus forcing you to go to the "open" arena.  If I have my choice then you're right, I'll go to the LW Blue arena every time.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

John pointed this out quite clearly in his posts above.:aok


thing is you dont have to defend now, all action is served to you on a plate, you dont have to get off your furball to defend, missions will be right under your, over the field, so you have it great, i have no problem  wiht your style of gameplay, i have a problem with mine being restricted.

people maybe trying to try it out would have caused increased numbers, lets wait a while first before drilling out numbers.

Of course you have to defend now, what you mean is I won't have bases sneaked, which I can't defend.  Now with a limit on the number of bases capturable the other country has a better chance of defending against your sneak attacks.

Other than you not being able to get away from the defenders and choose a base where no one knows you are at, how are you being restricted.

John posted last night, Knights had no problem playing status quo game while the Bish and Rooks slugged it out.

I agree you don't have the option to choose any base and take it, and HT is working on giving you guys more than one choice of bases.  I still don't see why all the fuss.

These changes will provide more to the game than the little that is being lost.  And since mostly what is being lost only allows less action, I believe it is a good step in the right direction.

On the same token, let's wait a while before we declare this a miserable and total failure. The different types of gameplay should never have been completely exclusive, and it's obvious the game designers don't wish them to remain so. While it's not yet perfect, HTC has always (IMO) tried to strike a compromise that best suits as many customers as possible, and that's a good thing.

even if the above WAS true. why would you care?:huh


LAURIE !  don,t bother arguing with these guys.
they got us all figured out.
they have a much better understanding of the game than anybody else.
you must understand that they are experts on everything in the game.
they like to FIGHT!!  
we run from fights, just ask em ,they,ll tell ya!!
you gotta understand that we don,t know how to play the game properly.

don,t bother arguing---its like trying to reason with a really dumb playground bully.

we understand why they like to play the way they do,and we have no problem with it.

they however don,t understand (they think they do) why we play differently than they do.

they never will

ignorance is bliss!!

I want to know how many of you   "just defend your field" types fly high cap over rear fields waiting for the attack?
I'll bet none of you . What you are asking for is for the rest of us to be bored to tears waiting for an attack to come.
Get real most times if they get any resistance they just move to the next base with no uppers.


Either add some tweaks to the test that you might like to see or whine elsewhere.

wait for an attack??----hell no---but i like to keep my eyes all over the map to make sure we are not being sneaked.  when i see a town flashing, or a base flashing, or see a dar bar in a suspicious area--i go to investigate.

if there is a noe or any other type of threat to one of our bases, i will spread the word for  a quick defense.  

if no one shows to help--so be it.

sometimes they do--sometimes they don,t.

we just lost a base.

sooner or later we are gonna fight to take that base back.

we don,t cry that someone just sneaked one of our bases.

we should have been paying attention!!!

Alot of you furball whiners remind me of this kid we used have that lived next door when I was little. He would sit at the play ground and cry because nobody would play with him, meanwhile the rest of the kids were playing in droves all around him and having a ball. We finally started beating him up and he quit comming around, but the kid would sit there by himself in a corner and act like the world was comming to an end because nobody would play with him, it never even occured to that kid to get off his arse and join the others, he wanted us to come to him and there was no other way around it.
Grow up. I know it's hard sometimes, but your mommas should have taught you a long long time ago that sometimes you have to share your toys. If you don't share, then nobody is going to want to play with you. Some basice pre-school socialization skills here. Getting mad because nobody wants to play your game your way should tell you alot about yourself. It definately tells us something.
There's nothing wrong with the game as it was before it became a catering service, if you can't find a fight in AH, then that's pathetic. If you find yourself chasing dots around, hey, you're the one chasing the dots around. Don't like having your base taken undefended, defend the damned thing or take your spanking like a man. Don't like bombers dive bombing your base, hell shoot them down. Don't like the way somebody is playing the game, then play yahoo checkers or something.
I'm sick of people bellyaching about the game, only to find the game gets changed to soothe their aching bellies. The ack is ridiculous now, wasn't that enough for you guys? Troops can't be porked without a friggin army of heavy jabos now, was that enough? Towns have ack now, was that enough? Just an example of how ridiculous it has gotten, people whined and carried on about hoardes, so we got ENY to 'balance' it out, and then you see the very same people in the MA whinning and carrying on about the lack of coordination and teamwork. One's man's hoarde is another man's teamwork my deluded friends.
Having to hit designated and predetermined bases is about as entertaining as Super Mario Brothers.
