Love the new town layout...but I thought HTC ws trying ways to get rid of the horde? seems to be the only way to capture anything anymore. And thats all you see anymore.
That's my concern as well. They say they don't like hordes and don't think they're good for the game, but keep introducing changes that push the players to form bigger hordes.
Overall I like every change in the new version - the town looks great, I just wish they hadn't made it that much harder to take down (and keep down; it's much harder to see a single building popping now). The maps have become too static.
Perhaps one solution would be to make town buildings stay down longer - say, an hour. If the intent is to force bigger, more knock-down drag-out fights, it seems to me that would serve it. It would prolong base take fights without making it any easier to sneak bases or take them in one massive first strike - after all, if the base hasn't been taken in 45 minutes, it's almost certainly because there's a fierce battle going on to defend it. It would allow the attackers to focus more on fighting for control of the air & ground and less on patrolling the town to see if anything pops, which I would think would make the furballers happy as well.
