Da

[dedalos]

OK, so DA was ruined a while back when kill shooter was turned on.  Can we try to save what ever is left of it by disabling 163s and 262s?  If not in all fields then maybe in half?  Can we also make it so that you cannot fly from one map to another?  

Getting sick and tired of people coming in just to mess with you in a 163 or 262 while you are fighting someone else.  
Then, there is the furball area where if you kill someone, they come back in a Spit16 for revenge.  You kill them again and the 163 comes out.

There is no need for these planes in there.  We cant fix idiots but we can fix maps and arenas.

what if someone wants to duel a squaddie in 262s or 163s?  If you block them where will they go?

Yeah, like that really ever happens.  As I said, disable them in half the fields and dont let people fly from one map to the other.

The squad I'm in will sometimes go to the DA for some fun. The 262 v 262 fights tend to be the longest and most fun fights we have together.

Limiting planes in the DA will only decrease the fun level for players. Controling DA behaviour is the most logical action, it's also the most difficult thing to do.

Creating areas in the DA exclusively for 262s or 163s may be a better solution, but catering to and expending resources for a small portion of the player base may not be paramount in HTC's business plan I would guess.

Just in fighter town is all I would ask. Easy fix for a problem that will help the quality of play. If your squad woulld like to duel in 262 then you can fight at any other field. Just dont try and pick me 10 times in fighter town without burning up 2,000 perks..

Even 35,000 ft walls between areas won't keep people from being d**ks if they want to be d**ks.

I said limit the fields that those planes are available.  Third time so far.  Eventually it will sink in.

As far as resources, it takes no time to disable a plane.  As far as the population of the arena, it was a lot bigger when we could control the idiots ourselves.

Yeah, but software can.  You step out of the map, you go boom.  

For the new guys that think its pointless because the arena is empty, the DA used to have up tp 50 60 people sometimes until it was fixed by HT.

i guess the same applies to the BBS. how many monitors have you broken out of anger because pop ups ruin your pron sessions.


go find something legitimate to whine about like perking the La-7.

Ded,

You don't like the MA, you don't like the DA, you don't like AvA...  why do you play?  Save your $15 and go to a movie or something dude.



Seriously, lighten up, it's a game not life.  Let the guys who pay their $15 enjoy it their way.

[Xargos]

Kill Shooter should be turned off for squads only.

What your not understanding is that some stunninghunks (who pay their $15) go out of their way to ruin the enjoyment of others (who also pay their $15).

So is it fair for them to ruin my fun ? ... does my $15 not count ? Enjoyment is a double-edged sword. If I am fighting in my FM2 against "like" planes, then how is it fair to my $15 to get picked by a 262 or a 163 ?

What he is asking for is not to neuter the DA ... just make it enjoyable for all ... very simple.

Enable the 262s and 163 only at the farthest bases from the "Furballers Map" ... that might help ... that way if those who want to duel in those planes ... then have at it ... to get from there to the "Furball" area will take some time and maybe discourage at least some of the "griefers".

burn mult is 1 in the DA 262 will cross the map easily. and besides what about the people that like to stall fight 262's at sea level.



maybe if you and Ded both work on it you could find a crumble of cheese for this cheap wine.

Listen to what he is saying guys, Dedalos is making avery good point, and a very good solution that will make everyone happy.

The DA is just for that DA, i think each set of bases should have a 50000 wall on them. and have one or 2 fields at each altitude lvl allow flight for 262s and 163s.

I really see no reason to argue with this point.

HOWEVER, dedalos i would recommend putting this in the WISHLIST FORUM, as this is a very good idea and wont get bashed to death there like it will here in general discussion.
