a arena where theres team play
« on: March 05, 2009, 05:41:14 AM »
A arena where people actually work together? is that possible? instead of where people are off furballing and letting bases be taken?

Teamplay starts with you, that means when someone asks for help, you go help.
When someone needs troops, you show up with troops.
When someone needs supplys, your johnny on the spot with supplys.

In time, when you've been around long enough to have built a good reputation, people will start listening to you to see if what you say makes sense. It doesn't happen fast, and some days will always be better than others.

thats not true.. there are people that have been playing for a long time and good rep as you put and  when they say a base is under attack noone goes and helps them and the base is taken. cause to many people where out furballing  and not caring about the country part of things.

not everyone cares about the chess piece they are on zohan, some players DO just like to go and furball.  it is their $15 and they can do whatever they feel like doing.  What is fun for them may not be fun for you.

If guys like Lynx request help at a base i will go there my next sortie if it is still manageable.  I wont bail out and rush there.

If guys like tripl5, LTOWN and such ilk,  request help at a field because it is going to be lost I wont bother  (no offence guys  :D)  their judgement on gameplay is inferior to my own.  Plus I can't stand guys who belittle others for losing.  If they had a 10th of my skill they would be able to save the base on their own (chit did i just say that out loud  :lol).

I suggest you check out some of the larger Bish squads  they dig that stuff.

i like being a rook .. just wishing there would be more people in wanting to win the game instead of doing other things.

the LCA alliance IMO  very nearly killed the ROOKS  with their organisation and mass teamwork.

You had missions running all the time taking/hording fields left and right (where was the fun?? it was military style cohesion).  It was the main reason my squad The Few opted to leave the rooks and go Knights for awhile, ultimately ending up with us rotating to all countries.

I think you need to find a well rounded squad that enjoys the things you do.  I believe there are a couple of Rook squads that still like to take/defend fields win the war.

next time your in game look up the roster and put it into country specific list,


go down the list of players and see how many are squadless, how many are numbers guys,  how many couldn't hit a barn door if they tried, how many speak english as their first language,  how many know how to read the map and change fields?,  how many GV only?, how many actually know how to type on country without saying "how do i start my engine",   experienced players usually have a squad and they are going about their fun with their squadmates and will go wherever their CO tells them too.

Maybe in view of your idea  have a squad vs squad arena with just two teams and have them battle it out over a small map.  The problem is your opening the can of worms that is the toolshedder vs furball debate.  Both types of gameplay do cross each other and will be impossible to seperate without diminishing the fun of one from the other.

Everyone in this game has their own reasons for the way they fly.  In many cases the way people fly changes over time.  Maybe as their skill improves and\or they become more familiar to their team\country members as mentioned (hint: don't switch countries often).

In this context the game gets better with time.  Give it time.

It's called the Main arenas, of which we have four of them for you to choose to play in and engage in team play with hundreds from around the world.

I've figured out through a series of posts and a gander at two people's stats, who "TheZohan" is.   

But I'll never understand why folks feel the need to hide behind another name.
