Private arenas
« on: February 05, 2009, 04:54:15 AM »
Murdr wished for this awhile back but with the new squad dueling league i would like to request it again,


H2H for subscribers only,  The option to have a maximum 32 players we only need about 20 for the SDL matches.  16 may also work.

If we can lock it down with a password we won't have to bother the CM team.  Now this is also a great feature for training purposes and squad practices / dueling etc.

The DA just doesn't cut it.  We cant even have 1 vs 1's without some noob interrupting fights.  It makes me so  :mad: when some guy comes across and continues to up after we tell them nicely on vox and text to butt out.  Even after making them look silly shooting them down within seconds.  The Training arena I know can be used for 1 vs 1's but that isn't any use for us having SDL matches.

Agree, for squad dueling you need something in the 16-24 class.

Person who hosts should have full access to all arena settings.
Ideally they should be password protected. So only those with the password can get in.

If its subscribers only, (no 2 week accts)  and it uses HTC's logon server, it shouldn't have the same problems the old H2H had.

I'll even go one further.

8 player free, with an additional charge for each additional 8 players.
Probably capped at 42-48 total.

Additional charge would of course be HTC's decision, butfor discussions sake figure 5$ a month for 8 additional players.
So then it would be up to each person to decide how much they need.

Squadrons could chip in to get increased sized practice/dueling arena's for 1 or more squad members.

Password protected H2H for practice would be a good idea IMO. It would save the hard feelings when you have to eject someone.
Easy in-game again.

I would like to see squad hosts for sure. It beats the TA and DA because of interfering noobs trying to spoil the practice. I would like it for practice in 1v1 against the whole squad where we can use unlimited ammo and 0 fuel burn.
If you like the Sick Puppy Custom Sound Pack the please consider contributing for future updates by sending a months dues to Hitech Creations for account "Chalenge." Every little bit helps.

I believe HTC said at the Con they would like to offer subscriber based Head-to-Head arena's in the future. I'm not sure where that is on their priority list, but at least they see the need for it. I for one would be glad to pay for it as an add-on to the base subscription.

Bruv harps about this all the time on vent, when we are dueling. It's a good idea.  :aok

Yep.  It's refered to in this thread http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,250755.0.html

I was hoping such a feature would come out of that, so I figured I'd wait and see what they come up with.
