Never been to the Training Arena???
« on: October 27, 2008, 11:45:17 AM »
Just curious, How many of you have NEVER been to the training arena?
And how long have you been playing the game?
Be Honest...

Just curious

Never went till earlier this year. Went there to help a couple of guys. Been playing since early AH1. I figure out the basics myself with a little reading.

Just the opposite. I go there every time I log it to get warmed up. Kind of like doing stretching exercises before a run. I check my calibration, my mike, and do the obligatory ".sr" then pop in to what ever arena my squaddies are in. If they are not on, I'll usually hang out for a bit to help out anyone who is having trouble or needs a little training.

Sometimes the TA is more fun than the MA IMHO.

I went there on my first day to ask a question.  No one answered so I left.

I went there again about 6 months ago just to fly against Widewing for a few flights.

That's it.

The only time I've ever been in there was to take a 262 up for free practice. Have never had a trainer though, been playing almost 2 years now.

I pretty much lived in the DA my first few months of playing. learned the old fashion way, watching my films to see what I did wrong, and try my best not to make the same mistake.

The TA is without a doubt the most underestimated tool in AH2. Back in the day I would go in there daily to find my old mates Pooface/Biggles, Airvent or Badboy to duel.

Being able to walk away from a kill shot and keep on trying ACM is better then getting shot down and having to wait a couple of mins for the remerge like in the DA.

Well the guy changed his name to Biggles after people kept on asking him if his name was poo-face or poof-ace.

Same here. Back in the old DA. Lots of fun in there back then

I went to the TA once to get help on barrel rolls but the trainer, WW, who said he'd be there wasn't.
