About the new set up for this week
« on: May 25, 2008, 07:28:17 PM »
It would be nice if there wasn't a 50 troops capture for bases.  Last week it was set at 10 troops and really we just went back and forth.  No side was really able to gain anything but it was a lot of fun trying.

This new set up I went over and bombed a fuel depot  There was an enemy plane that came in to def and I shoot him down.  Then went back to see if I could strafe some more. Then everything I had just blown up came back up.   So it is kind of pointless for me to try and go blow it up any more.

It is 5:30 here in Seattle Wa.  it is prime time for the AvA   not 1 person is in there flying.   If I could try and capture a vbase with 10 troops I would go do that but I can't.

Any  ways   well I don't no .  :(

And that's why base capture is not 10 troops.

You haven't figured out how to get 50 troops to the map room at once by yourself?

It could also have something to do with this being a Holiday weekend, and people have other things going on. :)

The 50 troop capture requirement seems almost moot, to me, since the bases are so hard. I was just up there. Had fun bombing a town and having a young kid try to shoot me down on the way back to base. But then I decided to attack a v- base. It seemed like it wasn't more than a couple minutes after I deacked and hit the radar and some barracks that everything was back up again. Didn't seem like much point in continuing.

So, seeing the kid that tried to shoot me down earlier had switched to Axis, and was going on a bomb run somewhere, I decided to switch to Allies and go shoot him down. Problem was, once on the Allied side, the radar didn't seem to be working so I didn't know where he'd went, and all the bases stopped flashing.

I think friendly radar isn't working right as I didn't see on red dot the whole time I was up, even when I was being attacked.

I think the downtimes are still only 15 mintes... but for the BOA, downtimes will be much much longer at 1 hour for field objects, and 3 days for strategic.

You might want to check the settings. It couldn't have been more than a couple minutes before ack started again at that v base. I took out all three guns, went to hit the radar and then ack started up again. I should of been able to trash the whole base in fifteen minutes.

As it was I had to deack again, then started on the barracks and realized the radar was already up. Then ack started again and I gave up after deacking the last time.

He was probibly flying under the radar.  If you fly under 500 feet they can't see you.  The base should have started flashing though when he got close to it.

I agrea with the bombing.  It is kind of pointless if it is just going to come right back up agien.   I'm not sure what were suppose to pratice.  Being frustreated I guess.   :(

Just a thought.   The 10 base captures I thought worked very well last week.  You should consider this.  This is an arena that doesn't have many players really even in peak times  But most of the day it is empty.   With the captures set a 10 troops it gives people an incentive to come in and play even if there alone.  Then other people see that there is 1 person playing so they come in to see what's going on.   And then you can see there trying to capture a base and they go try and stop them.  Then pretty soon people see there are 2 payers and more come in.

It is really impossible for 1 player to pork the map.    You can really only capture the close vbases.  But it give them something to do and a reason to play even if no one is in the room.

I liked last week set up allot  that is actually the first time I have seen it with less then 35 troop capture.   I had a blast all week trying to capture vbases and people trying to stop me.
And at the end of the week it was pretty much the same as when we started.   Any ways I just thought I would share that with whom ever it may concern about the set up's of the AvA.   :salute

It's not an issue of 1 player that can kill a map, during the last war, we had 7-8 players teaming up and capturing anywhere from 5-10 bases in around 3 hours in the morning. And that was with 50 troop base capture.  :salute

That's called 'milkrunning' and it's exactly why we DON'T have 10 troop captures.
