Attention Duelling Arena pilots

[2bighorn]

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

Again, why do you think DA lake guys would like that?


Tip to increase AVA populous:
Convince HTC to publish AVA rankings on end of each tour like it does with other arenas, on AH home page.
You'll increase number of player 10 times. Good chances some will like it and remain.

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.

they may....but they'll never know till they get a taste of it.

don't want to turn this into a flame-fest, but capt1ma has a good idea here. nothing wrong with his "marketing"

 

Bighorn hit it right on the nose about the marketing.  #1 rule in marketing is to engage the audience.  Inferring that they are mindless does not do that.

His propaganda (AAR Write-ups, etc), however, used to be remarkably entertaining and well written.  I haven't seen any in a while...

nothing normally, but there's a couple guys trying very hard to revitalize the ava arena....and a flame-fest would hurt that........

Well, if they listened to what people want, they would not have to revitalize it.  If the no icons is what the people want, well, why isn't the place full?

Maybe we could get a historical jousting setup on AvA.

Feel free to discuss.

The thing that ruins the DA is the retards in the bowl that decide to go to 25k... ie rooks and bish primarily.

well....if they're going for historic type of fights.....didn't most air combat over europe happen at 20k+?

you can have history, or you can have players in the arena.  The MA is proof that you cant have both lol

Its different when all they do is sit there and BnZ for 20 min.....and wont even come fight...you should go straight off the base: 5-6k

That is was Jeager1 is trying to get ppl to come to the AVA.  you are match up with a certain time-line of historic fight.  No AC that was in combat in 1942 up against a AC that came out in 1945.  Hence why some people fly 20K over the fur ball if they are flying a out dated AC

I thoroughly enjoy the AvA but I tend to only go in there when the P38 is available. They have a tendency to go off on extended non US tangents and run 6 weeks of FinRUS and tank battles and I pretty much forget to check the setups in the AvA after a while.

I also enjoy the DA. Its an easy fight to find and the best place for a quick flying fix.

The MA's are the hardest place to find a fight. 300 people on average and difficulty finding a aerial battle. The terrains are too big with GV's and Ships competing for players attentions. Since GV's and Ships are here to stay the terrains need to shrink to condense the fight.

And those faulting the marketing attempt are absolutely correct.

I love the no icon AvA but I also enjoy the DA. Implying the AvA is somehow less mindless than anything else in this game was a poor marketing line.

There is only one good marketing line in any game.

Fun!

Everyone defines fun differently. Tell people how they can have fun in the AvA and you might get some results.

But I can tell you that 6 weeks of FinRus GV tank wars is not going to pull anybody out of the MA, DA, TA, or offline jeep driving practice.

Commit to popular airplane matchups and keep repeating them and make the esoteric rare. Oh...and post a schedule on the calendar.

[glove slap]I challenge thee! [/glove slap]

Nah, you don't know where the DA is anymore.
