Look. I can care less about what set up that you guys put up. I dont care if its a free for all. I dont care if im in a furball flying a f6f v a tiger tank. I just want to have the ability to give a good fight. I say this because most of you can not or if you can will not. If what I just said angers you then you are who I am talking about. 19 v 6 is not a good fight for those 6. Sure I get mad when I am being ganged 5 v 1 but that is only when the 5 are "VETS". Once again if you are angered by this comment I'm talking about you. Give me the ability to go to whoever has the least numbers so I can attempt to give the horde a good fight. 24 hours is just plain crazy. I can settle with a time limit of a few hours but 24? COME ON
Your quote does not anger me at all. It is a valid complaint if, in fact, certain gamers are using this particular arena strictly for furballing. As for the Avengers, and many other squads, it is used strictly for missions and long term objectives, as AH has recently designated it for....
Speaking for the Avengers.....we do not intentionally gang up on anyone for the sake of a kill. If there is opposition to our objective, be it one con or many, we do what is necessary to eliminate it. When escorting bombers, we will NEVER leave them unprotected to chase a lonely con....but we will dispatch 2 fighters to get rid of it if it is a perceived threat. Many times we have seen a con very low and did not allow a single fighter to give up its alt for the kill as it was not a threat to the mission. When trying to get troops into a town, we will hover over the airfield and ensure no one will interfere with out objective. Call it vulching if you want...and yes, by definition it is vulching....but by no means should it be compared to those that vulch without attempting to take a field. Sure, we can take out the fighter hangars and GV hangars....but if possible, we would like to use the field without having to wait for a rebuild. If you are looking for a fight only...and prefer a one on one, why come into an arena that is mission based when you have the duelling arena and the Main arena? Last night, we had 3 110's jumped by a large handful of cons. When two of us were dead, the third was left alone....with about 5 spits around him. No complaint here about the final gang bang on the lone 110...it is a consequence of the war.
Finally...as for uneven numbers....like I said in an earlier post....those numbers sway back and forth all night. If we attempt to stabilize them, it will be next to impossible without it being computer generated....each person that logs on is automatically assigned to the side that is one down....but that scenario will eliminate the whole idea of long term objectives and squads will be ripped apart. We have a good alternative in this arena that is not offered in any other arena....yet the complaints I am seeing (albeit valid) can easily be eliminated by flying in any other arena. Why must we worry about it in this arena?
