When the horde is rolling against you...and it often does if you a bish....its nice to steal a base and divide their attention...oldest trick in the book.   A honest to goodness military tatic around for a thousand of year.

If you limit the bases that can be captured fine....but give more more than two on each front... how about say 5, 7, 9?   Two or three bases seems a bit low.  I haven't seen a lot of base capturing or coordination or movement with the new system.  It could lead to more squads working together in co-ops, but so far I haven't seen it.

There are boxers and there are fighters...Fighters want to wade in and kick arse... Boxers like to pick on the edges and make you pay for your mistakes.  Neither respects the way the other plays the game.  

I appreciate your efforts HT and think the changes in the game are valid and will make the fighters happy.... all I ask is to please keep the boxers in mind HT.

Give us Strat...and the bring back the SQUID so I bomb him!  
 
I know, I know ...Spoken like a true milkrunning, toolsheding, cherry picking strat guy.  :rofl :aok

he's trying to get us all to play together, twitchy.  Most of us want that.  It makes for a far getter game.  Why don't you?

And this bit about the changes only suit the furballers is crap.

We do play together, have been for years, we just don't all play the same way. Why don't I what? Furball with you all night? You speaking for hitech now, or are you just one of many players who has an opinion like myself?

It's my gameID, and I chose this one because it makes Furball whine. Keep reaching.

Twitchy: Your post was the first logical argument in non winning post I have seen you make.

Because I think that either type playing by them selfs can not be sustained. Just like I do not want a fighter town. Even though the pure furballers think it would be great, I do not believe so. I also do not believe a pure  race to capture fields game play (rather than fight for fields) can be sustained.


With the basic method of making pinch points, war begins and both sides start to really fight and hence interact. It creates a greater need for coordination and complex tatics and timming, and not just getting a bunch of people together, seeing who can hittem where they ain't the quickest.

Yeah, actually you've made it quite clear that no matter what is said, you still seem determined to relegate anything said in opposition to a simple 'we don't want to fight'. Dude, if you ever see me running from a dogfight it's because I'm out of ammo.

Hitech, I want to take a reall good hard look at this...
"a game based solely on that"
They really think that way. That is why it's so hard to hit some middle ground here, they honestly think the game is based solely on furballing. Anything else to them is atrocious. No wonder I can't get any help at a base, with friends like these on your country, who needs enemas.

Yes Hub, furballing.

I think what your doing in orange is exactly what will make what you just said "happen"!  There will be the whines and complaints about this and that, but it is definitely the future set-up for each arena.  If this is implemented, in all arenas, it will force whoever is in that arena to interact in a battle between themselves no matter what the numbers!  Now a 10 man advantage becomes more even with defenses concentrated.  Each arena will have a different size "battle" to choose from.  If you don't like 200 person furballs in LW u jump to EW and engage in a 80 person furball! ingenious! I think you're going in the right direction!   :aok

Twitchy, noone is preventing you from recieving help at a base.  You just have to be "cool" enough to get people to do what you say! (warning intentional abuse of the word "and" ahead!)  Create yourself a squad and post missions and tune to this channel or that and assign targets and form up and lign with target, and send jabos in first to hit radar and take out the troops and hit the town and bring troops and capture the maproom.  Who is preventing you from doing this?????   Noone...........except an actual fight for it!  So start shaving and using deodorant and get urself some devoted fellas together and go for it!  hee hee j/k bout the deodorant!  Its real simple! While you are doing that "we" furballers are going to be marianas turkey shooting yas out of the sky!  Accept the challenge!
