Hitech pros and cons of a 3rd LW arena?

[waystin2]

You must not GV much then.
Their is a lot of good/great tankers out their, you must not tank much.

Ditto.  Apparently Fudgums does not GV much.

[stodd]

It's still pretty active on NDISLES. But you are right on Trinity. It's very odd no one GV's on it. It's a perfect map for GV'ing too.

True, some times their is a good amount of players at Ndisles however, ive never seen it at around 70-100+ like their almost always was at the old TT.

There are 3 kinds of people, those who gv exclusive, those who fly exclusive, and those who do both.  The guys that dont care for gv's always seem to reply negatively about anything other than flying.



Hitech has yet to comment on all of this, can we get a feeling from the man himself?

We have been thru this in a similar request some time ago asking for a separate arena just for the "furballers".

HiTech's response was along the lines of (not exact words but I think the meaning is accurate) ... He didn't want to create an arena for just one aspect of the "total" game. He didn't remove the "furballer" element from the main arenas because they are an integral part of the "whole" experience within the game design.

I know for a fact (cause NB told me ) that HiTech doesn't even like the notion of having a "Tank Town" or "Fighter Town" in a map for the same reasons, but has allowed it only because it is contained within a map in an arena that offers all the other aspects of the game.

I would think that this request would fall into the same area as the "furballer" request ... on the other hand, that was in the past, times are different now so maybe he has a different outlook, but personally, I don't think so.

1. I do GV, not alot but I do

2. All your so called "tank battles" are spawn camps or spawn battles.

3. Either way, you guys ask for "tank towns" and etc. Trinity map is perfect for it, and yet I still no one there

4.All your basically asking for is the NDisles map or the trinity map for a tank town.

5. Assi, it would be like a DA in the arena. Except with GVs on the deck and ordinance.

6. I really don't see a blunt reason to create a 3rd arena.

Have a nice day

Yes but Ndisel and trinity do both have excellent fights other than TT when they are in circulation.

You have to be kidding, relieve congestion? ok first of all if you want a arena that is not congested then go to the OTHER ONE.

Basicly what this thread is boiling down to is you would have to have another Late war arena so that you can MOOCH your score up without alot of enemy presence.

The blue arena is rarly ever congested, and the fact that the orange most often uses the LARGE maps with 400 plus bases ussually means that on off peak hours you can never really find a fight.

I noticed that when the scores were split up by arena, that the early and mid war arenas saw alot less people in them.

I think Hightech has a arena incorperated for every type of style play that you could thing of.

Why dont you ask for what you really want:) a arena you can have to yourself;)

I am not really trying to bash you here but merly poke fun, but even if you looked at it from their end you would see there would be no reason to add a third late war arena especally at the dollar amount it would cost hightech to supply another server. either A they would have to get more bandwitdth for the new server, or B they would steal bandwidth from the servers already in service, I think we can all agree less bandwith per server is BAD MMMKAY.

Remember at one time there was only ONE late war arena, and most people complained when it was devided because of the arena caps put in place to keep us from getting into the arena all our buddies are playing on. which is another problem all in its own.

Yes relieve congestion in orange because LW red would be more appealing than LW blue, or just modify Blue to same specs.

wtf.. really.. whats wrong with blue?

[Motherland]

Nothing is wrong with blue. Blue is the same exact arena as orange. HT said they even switched the arenas a while ago and no one noticed... because they're the same.

[The Fugitive]

"Heavy metal" arena.  Have the same settings except...

No capturable bases in Tanktown or fighter town.  No ords in Tt or ft.  No whirbles/ osti's, or Il2's/B25's enabled in FT or TT.

Rest of the map would be normal as far as base taking.

Of course, it might get more popular than either Orange or blue. 

Im sorry, when I read this quote I thought the "idea" had morphed into what the OP had really wanted.... a GVer's arena.

[Lusche]

But you are right on Trinity. It's very odd no one GV's on it. It's a perfect map for GV'ing too.

Because the MA is mostly made up by a new player generation that never has seen "tank town" in action. Trinity was gone for about 3 years, and TT on NDisles went down about 2 years ag- That's a friggin long time for a video game.
When Trinity came up again I was very exstatic, I jumped immediately to the TT area. But other than me, only about a half dozen "vets" were there. Some of us tried to start a good battle again a few times, but it wasn't possible with so few players.

I'm very sad about it, and I miss the action there a lot.

Don't think we need a 3rd LW. Seems like EW could be replaced tho.

A two country MW would be great! 

A ranked arena would be cool.You'd need to be an accomplished Sim pilot to enter and might be determined by LW MW fighter and or Attack rank. Under 500 you get in.....Doubt that would fly... but might be the basis for a better idea that will never be implemented that we could only wish for.

Would just be nice to hang out and fly with people that had respect for fights. Roscoroo set something like that up a while back and it was a blast.

moin

you guys talking about to get a 3rd new late war arena??? only a thought but we are not enought people to have fun in 3 btw 5 arenas. 4 arenas are bad enought because the numbars are realy small on this mabs.
wisch we get someday one big arena back, like in the old days. as 600 people were online on a very small map, there was hard fights everywere.
