Truly sad

[DrDea]

 I go into early war tonight,12 people flying I figure I can get a good fight. That was my first error in thought. I was rook and see someone all by themselves raiding,porking,score padding whatever and swap to bish to intercept and ruin a porkers night. Problem is he WAS a bish.Right along with the other 11 in there. SOAR,you guys are something.

I thought that was SOP in EW.  Last time I was there it was 8 Bish, 2 Rook and 1 Knight.  When I asked why I got the old "loyal to my 'country'" and "I'm flying with my squad" excuses. 

I thought it was amusing that four of the eight were in one squad and three in another,  They could have had even numbers right there.

It's their $15 dollars to do what they could basically do off line for free.

 

I feel your pain.

yep! I think early and mid are a waist of good server space.....
I'M in for the land grabs as much as a good fight but thats a sorry way to perk farm.


I'M just sayin......

Sad thing is, Mid-War would actually be the most balanced and most enjoyable period from an aircraft standpoint.

[Soulyss]

I often find Mid War to be a bit of a refuge from what I've been seeing in Late War recently.

When this whole "Arena Split" happened.   A lot of us stayed in the EW arena for about 5-6 months, until the Scorepotatos came in.   Some of the best fights happened at that time.   

Oh well.

SOAR have been called out numerous times. On top of their actions is their deplorable behavior. I've heard the same from most folks that have commented on it to me. Pluto is a joke for his constant ignorance of how the game works, calling folks hackers for not understanding how he died, how they didn't die (when he never hit them) making up facts such as "I shot off half your surfaces and you killed me!" [when in fact he scored a glancing hit with no damage]. Some of his squadmates are equally as abusive, and have intimated folks can leave the arena if they have a problem with the way SOAR run things there.

EWA should be shut down. I used to think MWA as well, but have since come to believe it can/should be retained.

EWA should be shut down.

Nah -- let the kiddies have their playpen.  Don't want them stinking up any of the other arenas anyway.

Truer words have never been spoken.

Doesn't work so well in either the AvA or the EWA. I suggest that strategy only hurts more folks that try out these arenas later on.

Yeah...the "SOAR" Losers as I like to call them have no good attitude whatsoever. Make perks in Early, Mid, Late, non-transferable. Or make Early War non-capture...oh noes!

Don't worry.  HTC knows that what you are asking for is not really what you want.  They have it all under control.

[moot]

That's not what HT was saying (yes I sound like a cheerleader but entertain what I'm suggesting for a sec). He's saying that what they ask and what they want aren't always the same thing.  Knowing the workings of the game arguably by heart, it's not hard to solve for the rest of the equation: what the players' demands are really getting at. 
Whether his interpretation and judgement is more or less perfect, and whether it's feasible or possible to have it all under control is another story.

..... Make perks in Early, Mid, Late, non-transferable.....

Actually this is not a bad idea.
