After all the adjusting of arenas in last weeks…is it the worth of it???
I think, it´s not.

We, the finns, have been pretty cool, foreseeing and forwardlooking in all these changes, all these months…

And…What we see?

Nothing!!!

This new, so called “side balancing” is XXXX

Why should HTC decide, which side I´m on or not? Why can´t I decide, which side I´m joining?

Why can´t I make a decision, do I like to beat or be beaten???

I think, the perk-point system itself is a good way to guide noobies/chickens/old beards to right way…

---

Now I see, it , maybe wasn´t...

---

BTW,

Quite honest, HTC…

Are U thinking You have a role like something like UN, or like Swedish committee, which have to balance all sides so, that no one has anything to complain???

Think it twice.

This should be a game. The best game and best feelings come from the inside.

You, the HTC, have the keys

Keep it simple and stupid!!!

Wbw,

Zuum

Because people wont switch sides when unbalenced...... the original idea

So now HTC has to take steps to make it happen.

So who's fault is it?

PLS Tell me, what is so wrong if people wont change it???
Let them have a nice lesson of democracy.
They will change the side...if they dont like it.
That is so simple.

Well, see the problem is that HT left it up to the community to address the matter of the number unbalance. Only a few players and/or squadrons did chance sides when one side had a numerical advantage while the rest were happy to fly along with the hord. Since the community didn't want to or was unable to address the problem themselves HiTech and Gang had to step in and fix the problem before it really got out of hand.

So as I said in another post...if you don't like the changes and want someone to blame then just look in the mirror because you're to blame.

Ack Ack speaks the truth. People act like sheep they get treated like sheep. I'm not exactly thrilled with whats going on but jeez the old MA was and still would be an open sewer.

Hmm... Only thing I see, is the total and fatal indecesion, only.

That looks no good...

HTC has now to make the decision:

Aces High is an entertaining game...

or...

Aces High is considering into reality and simulation.

That´s it.

The decision to be made isn't HiTech's...he already made his choice with the recent changes. The ones that need to make the choice are the players but unfortunately most players are incapable of making any sort of choice on their own.

I Agree that...
From my simple minded point, HTC seems to be in chaos...

However true that is Ack Ack, Some squads love flying against the hordes! Now, I agree that this new system is a bad idea. Ive flown it once with 1/2 an hour to spare. I spent that Half an hour waiting for flight clearence for a squad sortie! 'So change sides!' they cry! Well, I joined a squad to fly WITH them, not to fly against them. I can fight any of them in the DA anyday. They're happy with that, so am I. But I wont fight them in the DA. Changing sides is great if ur a lone flyer, but I change saides, shoot down a spit 5 and find Ive blasted my CO out of the air! Im not happy with that!

Please HT, change it back! Im with the Finns on this one!

HT has said the new side balancing is only for extreme cases. As in one side has overwhelming numbers on the others.

Why would you want to fly on a side that has overwhelming numbers?

Do you actually enjoy flying in hoards and attacking undefended fields?

3-4 to 1 odds in a fight might be fun for you, but what about the 1 guy?

BTW, you should have no problem flying as a squad. If not in one LW arena, than the other. If you are willing to have the squad fly for a diff. country, then you will have zero problems all logging into whatever arena you wish.

I feel that your are being selfish.

I say selfish, because having balanced sides (or at least somewhat balanced) is good of the game. You and yours might be having a great time rolling undefended fields, or fight's that are 10 to 4, but I promise you your opponents are not enjoying themself what so ever.

So which is more important? The Fin's flying Rooks, or the Game.

Seriously, think about how you are coming across here.

It's organized chaos.

Zuum, kindly list for us other games involving teams where everyone shares a common objective (or set of objectives, if you will), and everything is setup exactly the same for all teams, with the exception of one team having 2 to 3 times as many players as the other.

I must have missed this notice from HTC, anybody got a copy of this announcement and official e-mail notifying those who don't cruise this BB that they have to change and help balance sides or else changes were to come?

I keep hearing that we were warned by HTC but I still haven't found my e-mail notice nor could I find a posting from HTC telling us of the problem and the possible changes that will be made if the community didn't act.

I have a feeling, I really don't know though, that side balancing wasn't the issue HTC tried to fix so no notice was sent about side balancing. This talk of us being warned kinda rings hollow to me.

I could be wrong though, but I do check my mail on a regular basis.

No other comment on the changes from me, I don't have the hours in since the changes to form a solid opinion yet.

I'm sorry but what does this really mean? I've heard this floated around a lot, I believe even HT himself referred to the old MA as a "slum"

Huh?

What, were so many people in one arena making for poor sanitary conditions? Did anyone get sick from flying there?

Does it mean that it was dangerously lawless? Did anyone get mugged flying late night? The only thing I can think of was that people had bad attitudes. If the MA was disbanded because a few peoples feelings got hurt on channel 200 that is truly sad.

For real, though, I'm sure there is an explanation for everyone using such similar terms to describe the old MA. Can someone fill in those of us whose memories of the place resemble nothing like a sewer?

Edit- I'm not complaining or whining about bringing the old MA back, just curious about the terminology. Sorry to somewhat hijack this thread.

sorry ackack i have to disagree...

people were playing..so they must have liked it...they could have CHOSEN to fix it but they didnt...

take off the biased glasses you and guppy wear and realize that that means......THEY LIKED IT AND IT WAS FUN!!!!

stop being so high and mighty and realize that most of these guys are smart educated highly motivated folks and not a bunch of illiterate morons...if they chose not to change something then they must be ok with it....

i guess the lessons of empty DA, AvA, and now EW dont emphasize my point enough

and if you have forgotten, go back over the last 6 years on this bbs and see how often there was side imbalance which was never dealt with in such a heavy handed manner...instead over time things worked out...BECAUSE PLAYERS ARE SMART AND WILL DO WHAT IS FUN!!!

im not sure this last change was so terrible...didnt really seem to affect us at all..which was my hope...as usual a change doesnt come close to solving a problem...it just causes unecessary controversy....
