New Arena

[Clone155]

I think it would be cool to have a new arena that is kind of like the Special Events.

Rules are simple, you can do what ever you want, how ever you want, but there is a catch, if you die, you are done for the day... you have to wait till the next day to fly in that arena again. Regular rotation of maps, same rules as the MAs, and if you make a good landing or a ditch or bail, you get to re up and fly again, but if some one gets a kill on you, you crash, or you get captured, you are done for the day.

Let this churn around in your heads a little while 



Edit: after thinking a few seconds after the post, I thought of a few problems with this. For instance, there would be alot of dweebs sitting in the manned guns all day, so you are not allowed to use them (and maybe if the hangers go down, they stay down until the next day?)

Keep it churning

Maybe you should do that too. 

How many players do you think you would find in such an arena at any given time when they have to leave after one death? When those players will actually fight, their average time in arena will be like 15mins each. You do the math.
And if they won't really fight (which is after all very probable), it would make for some very boring gaming experience.

1-life special events do only work because
- they are at a fixed, short timeframe, where all players meet at once
- rules are in effect that assign certain goals to each player in order to incite combat
- and lastly: It's under CM supervision

I kind of like the idea... I think it can go somewhere.

its the more "realistic" feeling you get from the AvA and SEA that draws me to them, i think this arena might haev the same effect.

As you have stated however i can see many dweebish tactics come into play here.. 

We'll see where this goes.

EDIT: Disredard, Lusche nailed it.

I'm sure there would be a certain few that log on so they could be #1.

Of course players would log on. But 1 death = out means they either do not fight or are gone quickly.

Sounds like an arena full of P-51Ds.

I would just like that map in the MA, forget the other stuff it not work just like most of guys are saying. Now how about this you get 15 lives every two hours if you kill a opponite you get extra lives lets say two lifes for each kill you make, this would be interesting to see how it would work out.

Self imposed test:

Fly until you die.  Log out for an hour.

Let us know how it goes.
