Integration Idea before wishlist
« on: May 01, 2009, 03:31:50 PM »
I like to have feedback on this idea before it goes to wishlist.

What do you guys think if HT can combine the blue and orange arenas into a super arena but with 2 maps instead of one?  For example, you log into the main arena and just scroll over and choose a map you want to play in.  Think of it as the TA where they seperate senerios with a thick line.  It would be the same in this case.  A map would reset when a country wins while the other still is active.  This would help smooth out numbers on all sides instead of lop-sided numbers in different arenas.

Thoughts?

I don't think two maps in one arena would work, as they would have to build all new maps...  Plus with huge numbers on one server, I usually en up having weird things happening; Lag being one of them. So I'd disagree on this.

Thanks for the input:

Does not lag happen when there are too many icons consentrated in one area?  With two maps we would be all spread out right?  Or is it the number of players in one area?

Also, there would not be a need for new maps.  We would use the same maps just seperation of a black line between 2 maps.

so you are basically asking for one arena with a map twice as big as those we currently have.

i'm thinkin' "no"

A Map or terrain, is a completed set of objects, such as terrain tiles, Mountain tiles, convoys, Acks, Srats, Ships, hangers, etc, etc...  I believe the one way to get two maps (say trinity, and Ndisels) on one server is to create an entire new terrain.

I understand now.  Thanks.

1 arena with 2 maps.  Not a map 2x as big.

I dont know if your trying to be sassy but I thought it through.  You cannot jump maps in a plane or a vehicle with my idea.  However BMathis already spelled out technical issues with this idea so I am satified with this conclusion.

How about 1 LWM arena with 1 map.

Bring back H2H so the people with ghetto computers have something to do.
