I had to force myself to type to you in the first place since I rarely see anything from you but insults and antagonism.

You want to start a circular argument?  Denied.  Larry, you are dismissed.

Why do people cut up what someone said and only post a little part of the total conversation?

You older hands with uber skills crying about noobs is LAME! you were all noobs once, to change things so your superior skills can shine over noobs is LOL well, pathetic ;).

NOOBS ,HO, RUN CHERRY,VULCH and all other indiscressions as all of you super aces have done, and most of you still do! get over it ! the game is fine!!:rofl
:rofl


Many of us have been around flight sims a long time (11 years for me) and have seen both the good and the bad through numerous transitions.  

I don't believe any of us wants to create an environment where we can pawn the noobs specifically.  We will no matter what the environment is.  Skill and experience are developed over time and with a lot of practice.  

I do believe we have something to offer having seen a lot of attempts at differing agendas.  We have a pretty good idea of what might work, what doesn't have a chance and what will never change no matter what is tried.

As to those who say "HiTech said it's never going to change" I ask; have YOU ever changed your mind?  Have you ever made a bad decision and reversed course?  Maybe things never will go back to the way they were but they might go back to a modified version of the way they were if it makes sense.

As to seeing the same posts/whines 100 times, if that's what it takes to get the point across then that's what it takes and the poster has ever right to voice their opinion.  From another perspective, if topics were never repeated this forum would die once all the topics had been posted once.

I agree that the game, for the most part is fine.  I do however believe a few tweaks here and there could make it much betterand as one who flys fighters, buffs, attack planes and drives vehicles I'm not biased as to style of play.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

This thread sure got a lot of replies.My reply will be this.I don't care what they do.I don't belong to a squad.I'm neither a toolshedder,point prostitute,furballer.etc.I just fly around looking for someone to fight with.I like the Main arenas,as there are more players.Been flying AH since the beta days.It has improved a lot,and I think Hitech trys to be a good provider for the paying customer.He also won't be pushed around,right or wrong.shawk is a decent sort of fellow,and I won't badmouth him for his ideas.The fellows that are bad mouthing shawk,also bad mouth others,and I'm sure they will badmouth me,for being neutral.I'm sorry but I don't care if they have one arena or twenty.I get my $14.95 worth every month,and now that I'm retired,I'll probably fly a lil more.The one point that a lot of gents have made, is the point issue.I agree that it should be gone.The chance of that happening is extremely small.

I don't mind multiple arenas but I do see problems.  Here's some fixes I've suggested before that I think would be good for the game:

1.  Bring the big maps back to LW.

2.  Combine EW and MW into one arena, limit the MW plane-set and only allow small maps in the new combined arena.

3.  Reserve a spot in the arena for a player who is disco'd from that arena  for a limited time.

4.  Allow a player to enter any arena if his/her country is the smallest, regardless of cap.

5.  Allow a player to enter any arena that contains a majority of their squad members regardless of cap.

6.  Make ENY front specific rather than arena-wide.

7.  Bring "missing" maps back into rotation (i.e. Mindnao).

8.  Put different maps into rotation in each arena (with both big and small maps available there should be plenty to keep the map-sets different for different arenas).

9.  Bring back weekly map re-sets.

10.  Never allow the same map to be up in more than one arena at a time (or #8 would also solve this).


Some good ideas here from Eagl.  
#1.  Maps are the key.  All the map ideas here are good.
#2.  Combine EW and MW - I like it but they are under utilized.  The community is too big for one arena but too small for the current setup.

My adds
#3.  What would happen if you continued to have 3 countries but only allowed two in per arena (two country wars).  You have 3 arenas but only alow one country access to two arenas?  Ex, rooks Vs bish arena, rooks vs knights arena, bish vs knights arena.  
#4. generalize the rank system, 1-50 is a general, 51-100 colonel - you know something like that.  Fights over the CV with same rank?  I don't think so, no one keeps command of it for very long.  Or you could always keep score rank in the background.

Lary's and hijackers stay out of this thread please.

seems shawk is always rated #1 or 2 overall so who really cares about scores?
When I die bury me in a P38.

I watch day after day, week after week, tour after tour, the Bishops and Rooks take bases and win maps while the Knights stand there with their thumbs stuck in their butts. It's just pathetic!

For the first time in a long row Shawk is not on the top of any ranking.

Top Overall Ranking – Bruv119, runner-up SHawk
Top Fighter Ranking – Dolfo, runner-up Bruv119
Top Bomber Ranking – VIX, runner-up Spade001
Top Attack Ranking – Bruv119, runner-up Zip5389
Top Vehicle Ranking – AXER, runner-up Bruv119

It is sad but not tragic.
I  don't think that we have to change anything because of that.

When did this topic become about rank? This is about trying to fly with your friends and you can't without alot of hassle. Which is my main beef. Why build a squad to 32 peeps so you can have maybe 5-6 that can actually fly with you. Then when you do all get together and someone either loses connection or has to relog for any reason (Usually Vox going out) they get capped out. So the solution is to have everyone else switch to the arena that he can get into? We end up fighting the game itself more than IN the game. Try taking 10 squaddies into ew or mw and see what happens to eny. Seems kinda pointless to me.
There are alot of peeps with some great ideas in here ( I really like some of baldeagle's Ideas) I'm just not sure what can be implemented that is fair to everyone. If you have an Idea post it. Got a smart remark? Go bother someone else. This isn't a pissin match post. But some just can't resist the temptation.

WW2OL is only good if you enjoy ground combat.  The flight model sucks.  But I sure hope you follow your own advice and go play it.

Theres plenty of room in the AvA for 4 full squads to fight it out.Why can't you organize your squad and other squads to go in there and fight?
