milk running
« on: April 07, 2008, 08:56:19 AM »
OK OK i know theres prolly been a few posts on this!

so a person logs into game 1 arena has just filled forcing every1 into next arena to find that a half dozen players have almost concored map. so 2 sides are starting from a huge disadvantage realestate wise.



why are both arenas open when numbers dont warrant it? off hours we end up with 78 players 1 arena 19 in the other, would make better game at these times with all forced to 1 arena.

HT is there no way of locking up 1 arena untill other hits overflow ?

Milk Runners need their fun too   :lol This gives them the chance to fly in LW. They usually hang out in EW.

yes, many people pay their 15 dollars a month to avoid interaction except to gather in a horde over an undefended base for the capture.  remember, this is war and to be taken seriously.  This flight combat sim is about dominating cartoon fields and landgrabs and if you think otherwise, you are obviously a spy.

Something similar happened to me.

I see a base flashing I go there to defend.  Up my favorite F4F as this was the Early War arena.

P38 with 6K altitude is flying over the town, I fly towards it.  The P38 runs so I film to find out who the scardy cat was.

The P38 goes out of icon range but comes back a minute later.  Fine, maybe he was low on E and wanted not only alt but E.  I'm looking for a fight and head to him despite being at the following disadvantages:  1) F4F vs P38, 2) lower altitude, 3) lower E because I'm still climbing to him.

He avoids me!  At least until I got frustrated and turned away from him to 'encourage' him to attack.  Then he set up an extremely lame and timid 'attack' from 1.5 out.  Soon as I start to turn he pulls up and extends till he was over 1.5 out again.  Rinse, repeat.  I got bored and landed and quit.

How Ltklutz is ranked 4th in the EW is amazing.

Of course there was the time I found him shooting B-24's that kept 'mysteriously' coming back towards his base that didn't shoot back.  Amazingly also is that when Ltklutz left so did nitro49, the non-violent B-24 pilot.

milk running is now prevalent in all arenas including the AvA.  as skill has flown out the window in favor of game play espoused and encouraged by the megaskwats, killing toolsheds and running to ack is now the norm.

I don't suspect it will get any better any time soon but what I have considered is the possibility of like minded and SKILLED players forming up a loose confederacy that would switch countries as needed and spank the hordes until they tired and logged but I have never gotten around to actually recruiting along those lines.

in any event tbarone N7 republic wildesau tyrant jaeger1 and myself sometimes up and do almost that which I typed often enough but boy wouldn't it be great if some of the really good players teamed up (N7 and Tbarone are in my opinion amongst the best players currently in the game).

HTC must add one more arena named "Milkrunner's paradise", there will be only 1 country "Queens" players can join and 2 AI only countries "Pawns". No stupid furball, no wasted resources, spies etc. Milkrunners will be very happy :aok

The funny thing is that even with such tactics the guy still isn't number one.
