Squad issues
« Reply #151 on: December 10, 2006, 09:45:08 PM »
I see where they are going to back off the new capture system for now but the way I read it it will be back.I liked the new system but it will mean that squad level play will be more important  than ever. You will have to work togather to win a base or map, have to get to know the people and how they operate. WORKING TOGATHER TO GET TO THAT POINT. Can not see that happening now. I see AH taking one step forward then two back.

Hmmm....

First, it was three time periods, breaking up the MA. Almost everybody fights in the late war arena(s).

Then orange got lines. Almost everybody went to blue. I went to mid war, which seems to be gaining popularity since the capture system.

About this time, complaints about overbalancing appeared. I don't know.... it looked like a wagon- wheel effect was going on with the orange arena; ie- rooks steamrolling the knights, knights steamrolling the bishops, bishops steamrolling the rooks.... The only thing I saw the overbalancing affect was who got steamrolled the fastest.

Now I'm ridiculed by some because I have loyalty to a chess piece and not wanting to switch countries?

(Just out of curiosity, why is loyalty a bad thing?)

Someone said earlier that sooner or later, all of the old players will be gone and new blood will replace them. The new blood will not know any different. Nobody will be complaining then.

I have been flying Rooks more out of character issues with other folks on the other sides than loyalties to chess pieces.

I dont like those nasty green peas. I dont eat them.

I dont like some folks on Bish. I dont fly there. Doing so makes the game unenjoyable for me.

I find that most the chest thumpers and arrogant folks who are full of themselves seem to congrigate more to the Knights. I dont fly Knights either. Once again the game isnt enjoyable for me.

So now what I read into this, is that HT wants to force me into doing something I dont like and expect me to like and have a nice cheery grin on my face as I pay him my monthly subscription?

Thats just friggin rude.

The "Ultimate Game Balance" that all want to see isnt going to happen. Forcing people is only going to make for much more aggrivation and anger than what is currently being seen.

Leave it alone and quit screwing with it PLEASE! Its all cyclical and works out to a happy medium because there are those who do on their own switch sides to even the numbers. I'm sure it would be nice if they all could be on 24/7 but their not.

I wonder why some people think loyalty is a bad thing, too.

Maybe that is the intent...to force the old out that do not subscribe to the chosen philosophy.

Maybe the intent is to make the MA's less appealing so that there will be interest in CT whenever it comes out.  Look at it this way:  You have a new product you want to sell (CT).  Squads and loyalty are not a part of CT.  So why would you offer another product that may be more applealing when you've put so much work into the new product?  Maybe the MA's are being structured to appeal to those only looking to fight (smaller number of people) while hopefully driving the others to CT.

Since when is loyalty silly. My squad and I are Rooks. I like being a Rook, and yes they are cartoon chess pieces. Just like those cartoon airplanes we fly.

It's also fun to build a healthy respect for those your flying against on a daily basis. If I do a tophat right and see an LTAR I'm going to guns no matter what color he is....lol.

I guess I'll give it a try, not much choice.

It was bound to happen if the Combat Tour is to work.

   Myself, I prefer a squad system, because its the backbone of the game for me. I'm not sure if the game itself is strong enough to hold my interest, as flying with my friends I've flown with so long is the fun for me.

   I'm willing to see how it goes. But I have a feeling if I end up not flying with my closest friends, or not able to conduct things like Bomb Wing, there won't be much here to keep me.

   Each time I've quit, I've come back. Why I ask myself. Because of my friends. It is'nt the game that keeps me coming back..its my friends. Friends made 10 years ago, in another game.

   Like I said, I'll give it a chance.

First, define "better game".

Second, what does the "make more money" condition achieve?
A mom and pop bakery doesn't "make more money" than a supermarket chain, but I bet their product is better.

(not a slam on HTC or anything....just trying to get some clarification on Coach's statement)

this seems to be another obstacle to overcome in trying to fly with squadmates,which is one of the big attractions to this game. i think squad commeraderie is one reason people have an enduring love of Air Warrior. i have friends from that game  close to 15 years now.
  i appreciate the efforts to evolve, and i think you have  unprecedented customer service ,but  it is getting a little tuff to "wing up" with your mates.
 ...just constructive critism , not a whine.
