A few questions on the DA.

[TexMurphy]

Hey guys,

Ive really been enjoying my time back and last night I thought I would do a training session in the DA. I was in for quite a supprice. The game in the MA hasnt really changed that much, if at all then its for the better because I do actually find it easier to find good fights now then I did 2 years ago. But man has the DA changed.

Back when I last flew the DA was a place where 1v1 fights where beeing fought. It was a place for duels, imho that makes sence. Unfortuantly some time before I took my break HTC changed turned off friendly fire which made it a bit harder to setup the fights since you couldnt do the "check six for duel confirmed by a check six" routine. But still it was a place where one could duel.

Now Im not sure if it was just last night but now it was just another furball. There was just a free for all with eveyone engaging. There was cherry picking. There was vulching. There was high allt BnZers. There was a furball with all the elements (for good and bad) of a MA furball.

I asked over 200 if someone wanted to go to another field for a few 1v1s but no one responded.

So Im wondering if this is how the DA is these days, basicly a mini MA, or if it was just last night.

Even though I enjoy the old style DA better I dont mind if it has changed, its the nature of things. I just want to know what to expect.

the furball lake = a kindergarten for the bottom feeders,

Some of the longer term players are usually available for private 1 vs 1's at the other bases,  we use those for practice.

i saw you in there tex, but left before you asked for a fight. Was dueling my friend rud3boi at A17-A18. Sure the DA has a mini furball lake that seems like an MA clone, but the 1v1 fights are still plentifull. If you have not already, put your name in this thread:

And dont stop asking for 1 on 1. Often i go there and get no reply, so i go to Midwar and latewar and ask again, usualy someone either a squaddy or random friend will take up the offer.  


Just think of the DA as a dueling arena, like the past DA, but now it has extra features, a furball lake.

Yup Furball lake is the "kiddie pool now. All those who can't make it in the MAs hide in there and just gang the crap out of anyone that comes in. They even land their kills in there to see their name in lights

IF you cant go to furball lake and get 10 kills, yet still feel the need to complain about the gameplay in there......there is a chance you're just not up to the challenge of a real old style catagory 5 furball. 

not directed at you Fugi, just a comment in general.

Personally i say the MA is far easier and less skilled in general than furball lake.

[TexMurphy]

Thanks for the info guys. It makes sence now because I really thought I was missing something.

I dont mind kiddie pools at all because they tend to fill a purpouse.

Now I know how it works.

Thanks

I got a laugh last night. Everyone who landed no more than two kills in a Tempest, 4-Hog, Charlie, Spixteen or some other uber-ride got a pat on the back. I came home with three in a P-40E, and got nothing.

Furball lake in DA is a hypercrack version of MA. Personally I find I get to isolate more good fights in the MA than in Furball lake.
One thing you can't do in MA which you can in DA is when someone starts whining you can take em to a field for some dark moments  .

Murphy if you need any 1v1s you can ask anyone on vent. We all go in n out of DA :]

Heya Tex!!!

And wow Flyboy, didn't know you were back in the game. Long time sir, <S>!!!!

[trotter]

Everyone has described it pretty well. Just ignore furball lake, and sometimes you'll find some good folks willing to 1v1.
