i just hate it when it says orange 220/150 then on the other map is says 35/360 i mean i dont want to go into a room with 35 freaking people. thats my only complaint.


 also it would be better if we could get some new maps or something. we need to get a group of volunteers to make some maps for us. im sure people wouldnt mind making maps.

Does this thread have an end? Or does it simply just Waaaaa on forever?
We all do not like this dynamic population cap.  I am sure after this many pages HTC will get the point. Geez guys

Have been playing for less than a year and enjoying it !
Few months ago, I started a thread regarding players acting up because of the ranking / scoreboard. Some players are doing/saying bad immature things because of that SCOREBOARD ! From there, lots of things flare up !!
Players should be giving the choice if they want their scores to be posted for that tour !

As for Early and Mid war ?
I love them both !  Why ?
I like the 1 vs 1  or 3 vs 3
I like the knife fight and its rewarding when done ! Win or lose !

I try playing the other arenas but can't get any satisfaction like I do in the early arenas !
Its always 1 vs 6 or by the time you kill the E/A, its often because teamates are jumping in ir about to...
Many times when I'm about to give the fatal shot, I have 10 E/A on my six !


I guess this is a personal choice for everyone and I respect the players who like the furballs ! I simply don't like them
I like the choice of planes in the early arenas. You need skills to kill !
Perked planes in late wars, you can run when in trouble. Or simply BOOM and ZOOM on top of furballs ! Real victories ? Naaaa not for me ! That is my opinion and I respect yours !

Please don't get rid of the early arenas

I do not think it is so musch the different arenas they are opposed to, they just want (myself included) one Late war Arena like the old days with a normal cap like it used to be.  It is frustrating to log in then get booted or have to re logg for whatever reason and have the arena cap be 330/250 or some lopsided number when the other arena has 24/250. I supose if they would atleast put the Late War Arena to the old cap but still keep the other arenas around that would be ok. (I like the fights in EWA when it first opened, they were great fights had a blast there, now it is usually everyone flying a huri 2c and HOing everything in site)

Sorry Dad but the way the current setup works if the 1st arena had 250 max the other would be around  170/220

It would not be that empty.

Only when the second one reaches near the 220 mark will the first arena go higher.  Lets not pretend the second arena is empty.  This only happens for a brief time (30-60minutes) whilst the US guys start logging in (around midday US time)

But yea not having to mess aorund would be good

wow so why does every 1 pay attenion to scores now. its not like you get anything if you win. i dont see why they should take scores off. for most people it gives them something to work and practice for. if you take scores off there is nothing to work for. i dont understand why people are making a huge deal about score. i use to only play fighter rank. without that it would make the game boring. i think scores should stay for the people who like to have something to work for. and YOU DONT HAVE TO PLAY FOR SCORE.

I'm on summer hours now.  I get home around noon Central time on Fridays and I've seen one LWA at ~35-40/200 when I get home while the other is filled.

That may be true but the particular map you reference (NDIsles) is always full because of tank town, not the islands themselves.

I'm not quite sure anymore. Tank Town has lost a lot of numbers after the last update. My guess is that TT has nowadays only about 20% the GVs it used to have.

Others may have different reasons for favoring or disfavoring the existence of a score system, but I don't like it for this reason:  The score system encourages many people to play timidly.  This means that it's harder for the other people to find a good fight, both in the short run (think runners, b&zers, "survivors") and in the long run (because the timid folks don't learn).

That's just my opinion, no more or less valid than anyone else's, and certainly I'm used to the argument that AH is more than a giant furball.  But you asked, and so this is one answer.

Here's the thing.. They won't get rid of rank, there's too many people that "want something to work for" and they aren't going to change the horde crap because there's just too many n00bs comin' in (thanks to the commercial) that doesn't know how to do anything else. Before the commercials came out, it was all word of mouth how people found out. Now the flood gates are open, and they're just pouring in.. all ages. Good for HTC, bad for Aces High.

ENY needs to be changed. Period. People has been arguing this point since it's been introduced. I fly rooks, very seldom do I change, and maybe I should.. but the way I look at it, and for those who flew AW at the end might remember, even though Rooks usually have numbers, odds are we're fighting the bigger side of BOTH of the other countries. And we may only have 9 bases to everyone else's 25 but we get stuck flyin' P40s. Base the ENY on the number of bases, or even the number of people IN FLIGHT not in the arena. Maybe even find a way to let people know before going into the arena how many people are on each country, and what the ENY is, maybe that will encourage people to go to a different arena or country before they even log in. (Doubtful though)

As for the multiple arenas, I could care less for the EW and MW. Sometimes they produce some good fights, but more times than not they're just scoring arenas. As for the LW/MA, these definitely need something done. Like SHawk said, it sucks getting disco'd and then you can't get back in. Maybe hold the place of the disco'd pilot for 3 minutes or something before releasing is. (Is that even possible?)

I know this is going to be a never ending battle for HTC, but there has to be a better way to do this than just to throw the cap on the arenas, and the ENY inside of the arenas, and hope for the best. Cuz it's just not working.
