the map joke is getting old

[Major Biggles]

i am getting a bit bored i have to say. each time i log into one of the LW's i see baltic. i hate that map now, it's been up far too long, far too often.


i just go to the TA or DA now, or log entirely, which is pretty rough coming from an AH addict like me

Thanks Lusche

Very good info there Lusche! Mabey HTC will take a look at it and realize how often we see some maps and the times were 3/4 arenas are the same map.

I've only seen the Montis map once or twice.  Must be an easy map to reset?  Looks like a fairly broad front on all sides that can be exploited by a few landgrabbers while a large number of the enemy is furballing elsewhere.

Baltic used to be one of my favorites because there are areas where fights always tend to occur.  But it is not an easy map to reset, because the "line of advance" tends to go to those choke points and stagnate into large furballs.  No movement, no reset.  No reset, map stays a long, long time.

I think that has the most to do with why some maps seem to be there forever.  The "good" maps that people like just get reset more quickly.

(That's my "working hypothesis" anyway.)

I'd almost bet HTC doesn't really need me to get this kind of info. After all, they made this map rotation. Would be pretty sad if they don't know what they're doing


While I do share some of the views in this thread, I may tenatively remind you about the times before the arena split: ONE arena only, ONE map up for a week and no possibility to go into another MA arena at all. If there was a big map up you disliked, there was no alternative.
Sometimes people do forget pretty quick...

That being said, I still want the good old big maps back. And while I'm at it - old TT too *ducks*

well for the most part,  what map is up really doesn't matter.  On just about all the maps in ciculation, you can find fights.

Not everyone is "only" interested in fights 100% of the time. Sure I love to dog fight and have some GV battles, but I also like to do missions and take bases on occasion.

When the same maps are up over and over it really takes the ability away to run good missions, because the front lines end up getting stale and predictable.

That one was interesting. I forget the name of it but it was the one with no water and was crisscrossed with canyons. Remember? It had all the fog and cloudcover?

                               Basically you could fly anywheres thru all the canyons and it would have been interesting if, as long as you stayed under the canyon, you kept off of radar and dar. Probably not however, the game probably showed you there even if you were in the canyon ,unless 500/200 and under.


                              Im not talking about the standard pizza map. The other one remember? And I think Ive only seen it once.

Radar alt is alway 500ft over current ground level, regardless of any surrounding terrain.

They should just change maps every 3 days and then the bordem of the same map up all the time would not exsist. If the map gets reset in that 3 day period it comes back with just sides changed. This way it's up the full 3 days. Just my 2 cents. Ofcourse i would like the big maps back and New maps incorporated.

[RATTFINK]

Same maps for over 7 months now except for the map that Lusche posted that never lasts long enough.


Please bring back the maps from before the arena change or all new ones.


I think there has been to many of these types of posts, enough that I don't think HTC even bothers to read them any more.

Come to think of it, we haven't seen any effort to fix the rotation.

Please HTC sort out the damn map rotation,you got four areas and its got the same 2 maps up time and time again.

Its getting to the point now i log on see the same horrible maps then log off.
What was a fun game is now getting very old and stale for me.

AT this moment the only maps up are with TT map and the uterus map as its called by most.The early arena has 9 people in which is a joke in its self,mid has a few more but not many,but its still the same old maps day after day.we had a tour reset and all that changed was where the  countries were not even a different map.

OK so you are working on combat tour but don't forget about your main arena of income.

I know, it is almost getting to where I'd rather, as most, not play; But, as most do, we still come back because we are hooked on this game like our life depended on it.

Go online. Enter an arena. Write down which map is on. Play and have fun.

End of tour: Examine your notes and put them into a fancy chart
