Perk pts in the dueling arena

[Skuzzy]

The primary purpose of the "Dueling Arena" is to have a place where players can fight against each other unimpeded by anything else.

Just playing Uptown. They would have noticed once someone showed up whining for their free Tempest back.

Then why the lake?

So players can furball, if they want.  You just do so within the constraints of the arena settings.  Those settings are there to support the primary function of the arena.

It would be awesome if you could bet perk points in a duel.

 What I want to know, respectfully, is why you guys don't provide an environment for pure furballing that matches the constraints of the MA. After all the MA's perk system is to balance game play and you guys have said repeatedly that the primary purpose of this game is aerial combat yet there is no venue provided that allows this to happen according to balanced game play constraints.

Thing is, I agree with HiTech this time.

That being said, could you please reenable the 163's at the canyon bases.  I really miss the 163 canyon races.

Pleeeeeease HiTech......

Skuzzy, would there be any interest in creating 3 Furball Lakes, an EW, MW and LW version to match the various MAs?

In a perfect world that would be great, but you know everyone or most anyway, will fill up LW. EW&MW would be ghost towns and waste of space

I would be in EW and MW simultaneously.  Just to be contrary and prove you wrong

I would be likin' the P40 arena for a while.I Tryed a P40 at DA lake a few times and i just can't compete will the 4hogs in it.  1 vs 1 is hard enough but 2 or 3 at a time...

Skip the EW and have a MW & LW?

[uptown]

Skip the EW and have a MW & LW?

nooooo. Have you not been in WW1? Pure TnB the earlier you get imo. The problem i see with that is by lumping EW with MW, you get too many MW planes...jugs, ponys, and too many 38s.

I typed that really quick right before lunch on my phone.  I’ll try to make what I don’t understand more clear…  

First, HTC has stated several times in several forms that the primary aspect of game play in AH is aerial combat.  Second, the perk point system is in place to maintain balanced game play.  With those two points simultaneously in our minds, why is there no arena environment where the aerial combat aspect of the game is stressed as the unique feature of that arena and there is a system in place that keeps that environment balanced and therefore enjoyable for the majority of the players?  

Put yet another way:

HTC’s statement in the introduction of the WWI arenas, “The new arena(s) is designed for pure unadulterated WW1 dogfighting with no strat or capture” is an implied admission that the current WWII MA’s are not for "pure unadulterated dogfighting".  But if dogfighting is the focus of AH then where is there an environment for “pure unadulterated dogfighting” with WWII planes?  The answer to that can only be the lake in the DA.  Why does that environment not have a system that provides for balanced game play?
