MA Gameplay Got You Down?
« on: July 23, 2009, 06:58:51 PM »
If you're a HO/Vultch "artist" read no further.

If you're fed up with the constant quake style play in the MA then please read on.

I'm hoping to turn part of the DA into an "honorable" furball area, until such time as
subscriber rooms(like old H2H),become available.
An area where HOing and jumping in on engaged parties is forbidden(unless said "squadie" says it's ok to gang him) .
An area where extended running is considered bad form.

I'm looking for like minded individuals who are more interested in the art of the fight
and could really care less about the "kill".
The idea is to create a DA "squad" where members know they are going into engage
other "squadies" without the slightest fear of being hoed or ganged.
We simply stake out a portion of the DA and conduct our fights there. If outsiders want to
try to ruin our fun we have options.
This would be a "squad" only in name and would have no bearing on any member outside of the DA.
The beauty of this is the built in vox and text comms that come with being in a "squad" as well as
the squad highlight option.

It's worth a try isn't it?
Simply let me know if you'd like to become part of this experiment and I'll send you an invite.

Until there is someone to "patrol" the griefers that will go out of their way to spoil the fun your trying to put together it will never work.

I do wish you well and hope I'm wrong. Good Luck <S>

Most would just call "knock it off" if a griefer came in. I do it in the furball lake sometimes.

There are usually a group of guys on, depending on the time, already doing this same thing...  If you see a cloud of people at a field, just head on over and ask politely if you can join in on the fun.  

9/10 "griefers" are just confused, and the other one aims worse than me.  Handle them with a long fuse and you'll minimize problems.

I wouldn't matter. Same story, diffrent place. Every time some one tries something like this, some one will always come in and ruin the fight. I know what this is about, since I was there. All I can say is, don't be a hypocrite in this game. I don't know what you would call the vulch shot on you that I had a HO, because you weren't even in the air. I would have just squeezed me to pieces if that were in, in that IL2. Another thing is, if you don't like the consequences of trying up on a capped field, then don't up, come from a diffrent base and pick of the vulchers.

I don't whine about being picked (unless they asked for it)
I don't whine about being vulched, I do it, no point in it.
I don't HO, and don't like it, so I do whine about that
I try and not to gang, but there are sometimes that it just happens.

Another thing you have to realize newz is, please, PLEASE don't ever take me seriously. I don't play this game serious, and nor do I act like I'm serious. Although it may look like it, I'm just trying to get people pissed off, and it works out pretty well :)

Forget DA squad. DA is not for real squads. However it is a good idea as to setting up fights in there. Only problem is it is not policed. With some of the folks we have on these days it will probably be interrupted. Their idea of fun is to ruin everyone elses fun.

Good Luck Newz <S>

If you're talking about everyone using the exact same plane...cool.

I know what this is about, since I was there.
LOL if you think this thread was started due to you vultching me and then later hoing me in your mossie nice try.
Happens all the time. The final straw for me was yesterday when 3 p51s engaged my lone f4u1a and all 3 did nothing but
HO.

This wouldn't be a "real" squad. Just a way for those who like to fight to be able to communicate effectively
as well as call out any potential non rule abiding tards in the sector.

No I'm not talking about everyone in the same planes. Variety is the spice of life. :aok

You're gonna to have crappy fights in the MA, it's squeaker season afterall. I perfer the MA because of the "come as you are" no rules dogfights. Fighting from a disavantage does have it's rewards. Several times I've won situations like you discribe and that alone makes up for all the crappy fights before that.

sometimes this can be fun though.

last year, the squad i was in was messing with me. some of them were on another country. i engaged a low190(me in zeek), and next i knew, there were 4 or 5 on me. all of em tried ho'ing any chance they got. i didn't get any of em, but that fight lasted almost 3 minutes till one of em got me. i did smoke the 190 though.
 ironically, the one that got me, didn't get me from a ho, but rather from a rather nice deflection shot. my heart was goin a mile a minute after that fight.  :aok

NEWS FLASH: ....HO's actually occurred in WW2!!!! ....get over it


They are mentioned in account after account by WW2 aviators ...from all nations ...in all time periods

......stop whining about HO's  ....that horse is was beat to death 9 years ago ....maybe trying searching the topic???

you would be well advised to follow the advice of boxing referee's ....."Defend yourself at all times"

The "HO" topic is D.O.A.

Once again, this is already going on...  Just come into the DA, look for people you recognize, and ask what's up.  Sometimes they'll all be in the same plane, other times it'll be any plane, and still others you'll find them fighting 2+v2+...

By all means, join in :aok

You can not legislate social behavior.

The majority of the player base is, unfortunately, populated by twits.
