Attention Duelling Arena pilots
« on: September 02, 2010, 01:17:32 PM »
instead of mindless battles over an imaginary lake, why not fight over true terrain? why not battle it out with some objectives in mind. May I suggest trying your battles out in the AVA. you get 3 things out of it. training in a different Arena with almost little or no interference, limited numbers and an entire arena to your selves.

I'm just suggesting you give it a try as an alternative to the DA. it just might be worth it!

You need a lesson or two in marketing...

instead of mindless battles over an imaginary lake, why not fight over true terrain?

What's more real about AvA terrains but outline? Why is one mindless and other not? Same game or is it not?


why not battle it out with some objectives in mind.

They have objectives (as far as mind is concerned, that's arguable). You'd do better explaining the differences.


May I suggest trying your battles out in the AVA. you get 3 things out of it. training in a different Arena with almost little or no interference, limited numbers and an entire arena to your selves.

a) Little or no interference; why would that appeal to lake peeps?
b) Limited numbers; limited by what? And why?
c) Entire arena to your selves; hint, hint, offline play.


I'm just suggesting you give it a try as an alternative to the DA. it just might be worth it!

Why as alternative? Why not as addition? To many, as an alternative, it is not worth it. As an addition, more likely...

You just have to spend time in the AhA arena.  Personally, it isfar better then MA and DA.

Why would you mention it then? The title of this forum contains word "Discussion" and so far it is.


but capt1ma has a good idea here.

I did not dispute idea itself.

You won't attract many calling them mindless. Since DA lake area could be considered "niche", there's a good reason why someone may prefer it over something else, especially some other "niche" product.

There's a reason why AVA has low numbers.

I seriously don't think the DA Lake types will like the straight up fights in the AVA. It will appeal to folks who like the classic matchups.

Agreed.  Unless of course they enable F3 and give out free Tempests and C-Hogs.

For you. Explain why would be better for others too, especially for DA lake guys (captain1ma somewhat failed at that).

Historic match up of ACs, little to no winning, pitching, and accusing, maps the same as special event maps, no env value, no worries of losing perk points
