I'll wait and see but sometimes you feel like this.

Waiting for the crack to apear..

 I like the sound of most of the changes it's just the balancer that worries me some. Just hopeing that it's not to hard for at least the 32 man squad to get togeather..  But like I said I'll wait and see. :)

Amazing ain't it -

1st - The MA was broke, lets fix it.
2nd - The spawning arenas numbers are broke, lets fix it.
3rd - The numbers in the rolling cap arenas are broke, lets fix it.
4th - That fix didn't work, lets try another one.
5th - People won't defend fields, lets fix it.
6th - The field capture system is broke, lets fix it.
7th - That doesn't work, back to what it was.
8th - 3rd one didn't work, lets try the latest.

Sure is funny how much is 'suddenly' broken in the game. (and I've probably missed a few out)

Another great move.  The only question I have is that since this is 'another' great move, that means the past moves were great also.  Since they were so great, why do we need more great moves?  Looking forward to the next great moves in a couple of weeks :noid

OK Falc....I'm really trying to understand what you're saying, but I cant quite see your perspective.

How exactly is having roughly equal numbers a bad thing?

We get to select our arenas and countries; how is it HT's fault if we choose imbalance?

To put it another way, if the Rooks have a 2:1 advantge in Blue, and are underdogs in Orange, why are you so rigidly demanding that Rooks be freely allowed to keep joining the horde? It just doesnt make sense to me, I dont see the connection -- how is this imbalance NOT our fault? All we have to do is shift arenas, and it helps EVERYONE.

If the BOPS want to fly together, why cant they pick the arena where Bish are low instead of the one where the Bish are high? Wouldnt that work out for EVERYONE'S best interest?




What I hear you saying is that your freedom to choose country and arena should outweigh any negative effects on the rest of the game. And that's why I see "caring about themselves more than the game" as a core issue. You think that's rubbish, apparently, but I cannot fathom the logic. If I'm wrong about this, them ...please explain your position so I can understand it. If I've misinterpreted, I'll apologise to you for any insult.

all in all, like you said its your choice.  if you love your chess piece enough and your arena enough, and your squad doesn't care if they play with or without you, you will wait.

on the other hand, how it is now is horde or be horded.  which is the lesser of 2 evils concerning gameplay?


Lately I have found myself playing alot in the EW and MW arenas, and when I am usually on, Bish are 99% of the time outnumbered...... saturday morning I spent almost 2 hours by myself against a total of 14 or more of the other 2 countries... so its usually us against the hordes.... which to be honest, it has been better with only 3 or 4 attacking 1 base......so the fights have been fun... I just dont like the idea of being told how I should play this game...

   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.

Hey Sim, sir!

As far as I know from my limited time on, we've been doing our best to accomodate that overall.

Should have added -

"Some core bases will be uncapturable"

Real great idea - You can't take that base, but they can launch raids out of it to take fields surrounding it.
Willing to bet one will be the Me163 base next to HQ, so thats open to mega ABUSE.

So coming real soon -
9th - Uncapturable bases broken, lets see what the fix for that will be.

Bwahahahaha, no way have I read all 5 pages, but I have to expect the usual suspects are ranting and raving.

WTG HT at continually trying to make this a better game, thank you.

A lot of changes in a short period of time. I liked it better when there was just one main arena.

My thoughts exactly...fix tweak...fix tweak....fix fix fix. How about putting some energy is a bigger server.
