Never done AvA
« on: July 17, 2007, 02:06:16 PM »
Okay.. maybe once or twice :p but that was when there were... 2 or 3 people in the arena.

I'm planning on dropping into the AvA arena tonight...   (or whatever night it's not busy)

Can anybody tell me what to expect?  I'm not very good and I hear alot of good sticks hang out here... so I'm a little nervous.  

And also, a question that's been lingering in my HUUUGE brain.  What are good nights to come and at what time's?  

Other than this I look forward to seeing you guys tonight (kinda') :D

From what I gather, Tuesday and Thurs are the best time.  Shifty seems to bring a gang in around 8pm EST.

Other than that, if you see 1 or 2 guys in there, hop on in and see what's up.  Once a few people log in, and inertia builds up and you can possibly have some nice 4 v4 or more fights.

Alot, or most, of the AvA 'regulars' seem to be much better than average, measured against your typical MA player.  My opinion only.

Your AvA score doesn't count against or for your MA score, so if you're worried about your score, you can fly all out in the AvA and still be a score hound in MA.

Generally people don't HO or vulch or gang too much in AvA, but then again, it's always best to keep out of the pipper of the enemy and not have to worry about getting HO'd.  It does happen, happened to me tonight in a night of really good players.  Still not sure why, it was 1v1 at about 11k.  No real good reason to HO on the merge.  My fault for getting in front though.

Guess that's about all I can offer.  I really like AvA, but I get killed alot in there.

Sure, get a few white guys from Texas together and it's suddenly a gang. I see where this is going, you racist!

More than just one, half the squad is Canadian. We're half Canadian, the other half of the squad seems to be mainly from the southern US. Except for Bug from New York. That's why he makes the perfect CO, he hates us all.:D
