So I missed AH and re-upped a few weeks ago. I don't have a lot of free time, but thought I'd spend some with old friends...
I logged on a few nights ago, and nothing was going on, no fights, no squaddies, so I left. I tried again tonight and here's the run-down:
Log on, LWpink where 3 squaddies are is full. LWblue has 1 squaddie so I try it out.
I switch to the country he is on and he is AFK, or no-responsive sitting in the tower.
Fly a few sorties for the rooks where I am stuck with NO aired fights, give up.
In the arena selection I see 8 guys in the WWI arena. WOW! I never got to try that.
Log onto WWI arena, fly a sortie, but the rooks are out of the fight.
Switch to knights, fly for a good HOUR learning the WWI way is complicated.
Get bored with WWI and go back to lobby and find 6 squaddies online in LWpink.
WOW I can actually get into the arena they are in.
They are all knights, I'm stuck on rook (which has almost 2-1 in numbers over bish alone).
OOPS can't switch for 47 minutes.
Log off because there's no reason to fly.
<S> HTC, but I am almost sad I re-upped my subscription. I joined again to have some fun with buddies I have known for years but the game won't let me. I was out of the "LW" arena for over an hour, but the timer obviously doesn't care. I thought the whole point of making separate arenas was to promote fun and "even" out the war.
I'm not whining about arena caps, I'm not whining about chess piece numbers advantage. I'm whining about the fact that even if I get lucky enough to get in the arena my squad-mates are in I can't fly with them. That's the whole ball of wax. Why bother playing if you can't be around the people you have chosen after 8 freaking years to hang with? What a waste this game has become.
