What is this nonsense?

[DREDIOCK]

Terrible map, perhaps?

Night before last I went to log on and was like WTF?. Then thought maybe there was a map reset but still wondered why there were so few in comparison
Clicked on LW Orange,tok one look at the map and said "oh"
Promptly went to blue LOL

[batch]

the irony of the entire thing is nobody noticed the bigger picture.......

once a week or more we get a thread from someone complaining they are locked out of orange and have to fly in blue...... and every thread is met with the same arguments..... that sheeple only want in orange to follow the crowd

the odd thing is when the crowd goes to blue and sheeple follow to blue its relegated to "the map in orange"

these are the maps that are usually in blue while orange typically has the larger maps........

it never occurrs to the thread flamers that the sheeple dont migrate to orange because of the crowd but instead because of the maps

Wish they would go back to the system they used to use to determin which country won the map. It does seem as if the maps are around much longer now since the arena split and the must own 90% of the other countries bases.
Last night we had in LWB and LWO, the TAGMA map. It should be that we never have the same map in each, except under certain circumstances, such as one country just won the previous map, in that arena and the next map in the rotation was the same as in the other arena.

Maybe go back to smaller maps? IDK
Just a thought.

Most maps don't have a very big influence on players choice. In that case, they tend to go wherever everybody else goes. Some are more popular, some are less, but that "selection force" is is a weaker one than population numbers. Only very few maps like beta2 will trigger such an exodus. Most maps don't make people leave orange, and most maps don't make people avoid blue.

For the second day in a row I've logged on to see blue more populated than orange. I don't think I've ever seen this before, at least not in the last year or so, more than once or twice....
 

Boring map in the Orange maybe. And sometimes, the map in Orange are the same in the Blue arena.( like today )
It would be nice if there are different map.

   The map with the single huge  white capped mountain is one of if not THE worst map in the game. It could leave circulation and not bother me a bit.

I agree with Lusche/Snailman completely.

Why is Orange consistently more popular?  Why doesn't the critical mass pass between the two LW arenas more often?

Not a big deal, but I have no theories.  Does the TT map always roll into Orange?

Heck, I don't fly much anymore, but the last time I was on there were over 30 furballing in the DA.  What does that tell you?

DA is fine. Just need to stay away from the lake. It is broke since there is no dueling there. They actually have squads there 

[waystin2]

I have found Beta2's poularity to be on the scale of say...the Bubonic Plague.

BRING OUT YOUR DEAD!


PS-Rich we all spend time begging for Uterus!!!

Nothing really.  They are not fur balling. They are vulching, picking, running, and calling people names.  I used to think it was sad to see that in the DA.  I was wrong, it is a nice place to keep them away from everything else    This is probably why we dont get the doughnut map anymore.

I can only say the Green Stamp map is not my favorite.

[Rich46yo]

At least Uterus always has action. As for GVs, and killing GVs, it is without doubt the best map. The problem with Uterus , back then, is we were getting it all the time. Sometimes two at a time.

The reason why its such a good GV map is the spawn placements. Many bases have numerous spawn in/outs. Pizza, on the other hand, usually only has one spawn in/out a base, if that, and it seems like the spawns are always going to your own base.

[AWwrgwy]

I don't fly very frequently so I couldn't answer this, but how often do the large maps even get "won"? I know that the pinwheel map NEVER gets won. And as for the rest, I see them around until Tuesdays and then TT resets both the arenas.

I don't care much if the maps are won often or rarely, but it is worth asking: what would HT prefer for game dynamics? I think at least we should be getting 1-2 resets a week due to victory (seems like a good balance) but I'm not sure if that is occurring?

Hard to win a map when both countries with the most bases won't attack each other.

How about some new maps?

WOW, is been like 5 minutes and no one told you to go make one yourself?
