OK this multi-arena crap has gotta go
« Reply #135 on: May 31, 2007, 05:45:13 PM »
While I believe in many of the changes proposed, I am also a beliver in the KISS principle. From a programer's view (& no expert here) many of the changes would just take too much time, and some a little redundant. If choosen porperly (rolls the dice :D ) some mite be self correctiing. So with all this great flowing intellectualism, I offer my 2c.

1.  bring back large maps in the rotation. "hate same maps"
2.  eliminate arena caps (this mite correct the ENY)
3.  CV command can be taken over by planned mission CO, and a no takeoff
     imposed for everyone until mission rolls. Would be nice for surprise
     raids. As slow as the CV's are, not sure on a time limit for this
    :confused:

Been awhile since I've seen HT respond to any posts. Does he even read these things anymore ??? :noid

Any chance on a incentive to go to the other arenas?

Maybe increase perk multipler to xxx number?

Maybe 5 perks to go to the lowest side?

Perk bonus depends on planes locally around you?
I tend to fight in the horde(enemy) often surronded by red or recently fighting over enemy bases in a tempest with 1 or no friendlies around. Landing 10 kills in a tempest and getting 3 perks is lame even if its a perk plane.

On a side note.....the very notion of jumping sides is shunned by many players. I have been lrft for dead because I was considered a jumper/spy by someone. Anyone who knows me can vouch I kill red no matter what side I am on. With attitudes like this who can blame people for not jumping sides.

Just some ideas, opinions, and all round bs to think about!

Ok, I haven't been here all that long, but I posted this in another thread so I'll repeat it here.

It seems to me that the AvA arena addresses many of the gripes aired out in this thread.  Specifically:

Large maps

CAP restriction seems to be rarely met (ever?)

Not too many hordes

No ENY (I think)

Scores in AvA stay in AvA

That's alot of birds killed with one stone without changing anything.

I've carried on this discussion with Skuzzy via email.

Notice not a peep or post from HTC...that I find disappointing.  If they were really truly interested in improving a frustrating situation, you'd think they'd chime in with the "Willing to try" and "Not willing to do" categories.

I think the ENY blows.  I don't see where it helps anything.

I think the 2 LW arenas should remain uncapped.  If players prefer the map in one arena, let them have that choice.  

I always seem to find my squad in an arena that has just had its cap lowered.  

Whether you have one arena or 5...people are always going to congregate (i.e. horde) in that vicinity.  That's where the fight is.  Trying to prevent the "horde" defeats the purpose of the gameplay.  We play to fight others, right?

Weeding out the usual petty insults from Storch & Co., there are some good ideas here.

I just wish HTC would chime in and give them a try.

I can pretty much deal with the way things are with the exception of one thing that I can no longer tolerate. I have been Disco'ed 20 times and have lost UDP about 6 times as many times as that. Good example was tonight, in the 2 hours I was on I lost UDP 6 times. I was able to make it back in time to the tower to relog, but this is getting ridiculous.

All this discoing has started since the last patch. Will probably just close my account after this weekend. I love the game but can't handle getting discoed and losing UDP every 10 to 15 minutes!


tour 85  4 disco's
tour 86  8 disco's
tour 87 11 disco's
tour 88 20 disco's and a whole lot of losing UDP and relogging

I work for a mod for BF2. http://www.pointofexistence.com/


BBBB, POE and POE2 are FANTASTIC!! Its a shame that EA has decided to not to patch BF2 anymore. You guys in the POE camp keep up the great work.

Bipolar, I've tried other flight sims online, War Birds, Il-2 online, Hyper Lobby, etc. etc. and I feel that AH2 brings something that the others are lacking. Ive cancelled my account at least 5 times, hence the V5 in my name. AH2 has the correct blend of Massive multiplayer game with a flight simulator. It's not "arcadey" but its not insanely hard to learn. Thats why I renewed my account, you just cant find anything out there like it.

IL-2 w/ Hyper Lobby....Visually stunning, but INSANELY HARD
Warbirds is a joke...
Microsoft combat flight simulator....First word in that sentence is proof enough
So AH2 is were its at. I cant wait for the Tour of Duty to arrive I think that the idea shows a lot of promise. AND, i dont mind waiting for a product thats well thought out.

I would like to see what hitech does in regards to gameplay by listening to the remainder of his 99% of his customers, not including the 1% that post on the forum. I doubt that the people on this forum represent the current thoughts about the game or the direction the game should be heading.

I have 20 hours or so. I  think I average about 15-20 hours. I guess I spend too much time in the TA.

Sky...do you do anything besides sit in front of your computer? I'm not trying to offend or anything but there is a world out there with blue sky and green grass and all.

Failed Math eh?

How bout this 135 divided by 30 equals 4.5 hours a day.
yeah, I play enough but I don't live here. I usually log in about 10pm and play till 2am before bed as an average weekday. maybe a little more on the weekend.

Check #2's hours 194 hours in 30 days, thats 6.46 hours a day.
Sorry but my old butt can't sit in a chair that long.

Also lets stay on subject. this is about change not about how Aces High is like crack.:D

Hehe! I was thinking about a 5 day work week not 30 straight days. 40 work hours a week...X3=120 hours
add a few more work days and the math is close. I kinda forgot you do it every day.

I hear it's alot cheaper than crack too. :)
